An Amazon Original Series
And a favorite of mine! I love this show!
The story is a fantasy about what the USA would be like if we had lost to Germany and Japan in WWII – and it's very well done.
A believable alternate history, The Man In The High Castle follows the journeys of those who are either working for the Third Reich, for Japan, or who are simply trying to live a normal life. There is of course a somewhat disorganized (at least in the first season) resistance movement, and that adds suspense and gives us fans heroes to root for.
How I see my role in The Man In The High Castle
I'm a woman named Beverly Hunter who ran a department store in Washington D.C. before WWII, but who got word from friends in high places that the war was not favoring the US and that a strike on D.C. was imminent. Fleeing for her life, Beverly heads south to Florida where she ultimately takes up residence in Miami.
Starting up a store on a much smaller scale, Beverly Hunter meets people who hail from the newly established Japanese Pacific States and from an area that is a complete mystery to her called The Neutral Zone.
During a normal business day, Beverly helps a woman who wishes to try on wedding gowns, only to find that the lady is badly bleeding from a stab wound.
Panicked, Beverly at first tells the woman, who introduces herself simply as "Janet", she has to leave, but, when Janet passes out, Beverly has no choice but to help her.
The interaction between Beverly and Janet can continue in a couple of different ways:
First – Beverly takes Janet upstairs to her apartment, hides her there, and gets her the medical treatment she needs from a doctor Beverly trusts. That leads all three, Beverly, Janet and Dr. Lansing, to form a bond that enables them to help the resistance movement that Janet has been part of for the past year. All three of these characters come in and out of The Man In The High Castle for many episodes to come.
Second – Beverly helps Janet by hiding her in her apartment and getting medical help from Dr. Lansing. But Dr. Lansing fears punishment from the German police and turns in both Janet and Beverly. Before the two women are arrested and executed, Beverly manages to deliver an envelope to another member of the resistance, as per Janet's instructions.

MUSICIANS were seen playing in full wide-screen colour as guests gathered in Bexhill Museum's cafe for a ceremony marking the gift of its new audio-visual system.
The Wednesday, September 5th event was an opportunity to thank Bexhill Chamber of Commerce and Tourism for a generous £1,000 donation which made installation of the state-of-the-art new facility possible. Guest of honour was chamber president James Kimber.
The event had begun with a reception in the museum's new motor heritage gallery. It was an apt choice since, in a personal capacity, the chamber president was one of the sponsors of the town's new motor heritage trail.
A series of illustrated boards tell the story of the 1902 Bexhill Motor Trials, the first international motorsport event held in the UK. The trail begins near the Galley Hill start-line for the races and includes boards near The Sackville and the Cooden Beach Hotel. Both establishments are owned by Mr Kimber and have their own photo galleries commemorating the races.
Another of the boards is on the exterior wall of the museum. The museum's motor heritage gallery includes a replica of the steam car on which French pioneer M. Leon Serpollet won the 1902 trials together with a Bexhill-built 1957 Elva Mark III sports-racer and the Volta car built by St Richard's Catholic College students which in 1993 gained a class world land speed record.
The musical sequence being shown on the new audio-visual system in the adjoining catering area complements A Global Gathering, the museum's current tribute to its world art collection.
Welcoming guests, museum society chairman John Betts said that despite its £2m cost, the extension and refurbishment scheme opened in 2009 left the society with the task of providing some key equipment.
Thanking the chamber for its generosity, the chairman explained to guests: "As chairman of the museum I sit on the chamber executive but I can assure you that I had nothing to do with the decision…!"
The president said the chamber was delighted to be able to support the museum.

Dave Patten lives and works out of Philadelphia, and he certainly manages to include some of that great Philly-soul to him music. He does pretty well, for a straight boy. But this Sunday morning, I thought I would listen to the softer side of the handsome musician, starting with a song off the Exposure album, Beautiful.
Now remember that not only does Patten write his own songs, he is also directing the videos. He seems to be a man who can handle multi-tasking rather well, and pull off looking like he is really loving what he is doing. I suspect, of course, that is is loving his life. The next song up is Too Proud, off the Boomerang album.
See, her really does an excellent job, the videos are just fantastic. Now I wanted to pick up the tempo just a little with one of my favorite songs, Wait Jenny. It is the second song off the Boomerang album, but I really like both quite a lot. Here is the video so you can see for yourself.
If you like what you hear, you can buy Exposure by clicking here, and Boomerang by clicking here. You can find another favorite of mine, No Direction, on iTunes here. You can find out more about Dave by checking out his official website here.

A Wizard, in a Nordic chariot, sped down from the North to visit the Hind Grove Community Garden. He carried with him a vast array of containers, strainers and a heavy box of honeycomb trays.... which smelled of wood and wax.
Children gathered.... word had spread fast that a Wizard was in town., and they helped to remove the wax, scraping away at the surface. After he had consulted the runes, and spun his spells, a liquid was seen to emerge. The children were amazed. Nobody had seen such magic performed before!
Each child took home a jar of PURE GOLD....

An Iowa Anti-Abortion Bill Would Allow Parents To Stop Their Unmarried Daughter's Termination
Donald Trump's federal budget and the now-defeated American Health Care Act placed the fight for abortion access squarely in Washington for the last several weeks. However, Republican lawmakers across the country have remained hard at work, chipping away at Americans' reproductive rights. A new anti-choice bill from the Iowa state legislature is one of the most restrictive abortion laws ever introduced, with the potential to ban all abortions in the state entirely.
The bill has three main provisions, each one scarier than the last. The first has unfortunately become commonplace among Republican legislatures — it would criminalize abortions after 20 weeks, providing only exceptions in cases where the mother's life is endangered (and not in instances of rape or incest).
The second stipulation of the bill would allow parents of unmarried adult women to sue abortion providers for an injunction against the abortion. The state of Iowa also legally requires minors to notify a parent if they are seeking an abortion, so minors with disagreeable parents would be without any recourse to confidentially end a pregnancy.
Finally, the "personhood" provision would legally define life as starting at conception, and grant fetuses all the same rights as living people. This part of the bill is very likely to get struck down by a court if it does become law, but in the unlikely event that it's upheld, the provision would ban all abortions in Iowa. However, the abortion rate in Iowa is already so low that the law would barely make a difference — less than 5,000 abortions were provided in Iowa in 2014, a 23 percent decline since 2011. Between 2011 and 2016, 14 Iowa abortion providers closed, citing "business decisions," according to Bloomberg. The market for abortions doesn't seem to be prevalent at all in Iowa, yet Republican lawmakers are still determined to legislate it out of existence entirely.
Scarier still, the bill could actually pass. Iowan Republicans are ostensibly unopposed in their state legislature — according to Ballotpedia, they hold 59 out of 100 State House seats and 29 out of 50 State Senate seats. Bills only need a simple majority to pass through the statehouse, meaning this bill, or a version of it, could end up on the (Republican) governor's desk. The ramifications of this bill's passage could be devastating for women across the country, as it would likely inspire copycat bills in other Republican-controlled state governments.
This bill is the latest, but certainly won't be the last, affront to reproductive freedom in this country, so make sure you speak out loudly and firmly against it.

via CAAI
Monday, 10 January 2011 15:00 Steve Finch
IN most economies, increased lending of around 30 to 40 percent among major banks would usually point to a positive knock-on effect in the property sector.
But despite a huge rise in loans in 2010 reported last week by major lenders including ACLEDA Bank and Canadia Bank, little of this extra financing appears to have been channeled into Cambodia's still struggling property sector which saw land values slide a further 15 percent last year, representatives from the National Valuers Association of Cambodia said last week.
Although the likes of ANZ Royal Bank began to "start pushing" mortgages again around the end of the first quarter last year, following a freeze during the worst of the economic crisis, still the extent of financing available for property remains limited. This means the sector has not benefitted from the strong rebound by the financial sector last year.
Much of the property sector in the Kingdom remains under-reliant on lenders
Lenders such as ACLEDA still only offer up to 70 percent of financing on a home in Cambodia, less than in more developed economies, and often the maximum term is only up to 10 years.
Canadia Bank, for example, still only advertises mortgages for up to eight years.
Therefore much of the property sector in the Kingdom remains under-reliant on lenders, a factor that has delayed prospects of a recovery for what is the last major segment of the economy to rebound from the slump in 2009.
Given the problems many banks experienced as a direct result of property, which in many cases led to spiraling rates of bad debt, it is unsurprising the financial industry in Cambodia has looked at the sector with trepidation.
The likes of Canadia Bank quickly found themselves overexposed to the slumping property market in the first quarter of 2009 and will be careful not to suffer the same fate again.
This is no bad thing. The Cambodian property market was badly overheated by the end of 2008 so financial sector caution in the future can help prevent a repeat of over speculation.
In the short-term though that means the property sector looks set to continue to miss out on much of the returning optimism witnessed in many other parts of the economy which remain far more attractive to lenders.
With property prices apparently hitting a trough, now is a perfect time to enter the market in Cambodia, particularly with the added recent incentive of legal foreign ownership.
The key test this year will be the extent to which the financial sector is willing to back returning buyers.

Chris Hughton hailed two good run-outs after Brighton drew friendlies with both Portsmouth and Charlton today.
The Seagulls drew 1-1 with Pompey in a behind-closed-doors friendly this morning and then drew by the same score at the Valley this evening.
Speaking after the draw at Charlton, Albion's boss said: "I enjoyed most of it but you always want to win games.
"However we got some valuable experience for some of our young lads towards the end and most of the senior ones got 75 minutes which is exactly what we wanted.
"We had two games today, one this morning and one this evening but we wanted competitive games and that's what we got.
"The whole idea of having two games in one day was so we could use the 23s. We did it a little bit different this morning, we played a 75-minute game which means all of our senior players have had 75 minutes today.
"We go on to the weekend and then next midweek looking to get 90 minutes under their belt.
"They were two good run outs and at this stage of the season, every team you play at whatever level are going to be competitive because Portsmouth and Charlton are one week closer to starting their season than what we are."
Richie Towell and James Tilley both went off injured against Charlton and Hughton said: "They're both a bit sore at the moment. Richie Towell just felt his back when he went into a challenge and James Tilley felt his ribs when he went in for quite a brave challenge.
"But I expect them both to be fine."
Colombian winger Jose Izquierdo is back in training and is set to play in a behind-closed-doors friendly next midweek. Summer signing Florin Andone is also set to play his first Albion match in that game.
Hughton also revealed Jurgen Locadia suffered a minor groin injury on Saturday at AFC Wimbledon. He said: "It's good news. He felt his groin on Saturday and sometimes you then fear the worst. It's minor but he'll still be a couple of weeks."

From their hospital beds the hunger strikers remain steadfast in their cause: "Administrative detention contradicts democratic and humane values, especially in the arbitrary way that Israel uses it, as there is no justification. There should be strong resistance by everyone in prison or outside against this policy because it greatly harms people, their dignity, family and children."
Hunger Strike Suspended
Wednesday, June 25 2014: The Palestinian "Prisoners Center for Studies" has reported that hunger striking Palestinian detainees, held by Israel under arbitrary Administrative Detention orders, announced suspending their strike after reaching an agreement with the Israeli security officials, and Prison Administration officials.
In a statement, the detainees said that, as the Israeli aggression escalates against the Palestinian people, and in an attempt to give the families of the detainees some relief, following 63 days of hunger strike carried out by their detained family members, a decision was made to suspend the strike.
"To grant our families some relief, especially before the holy month of Ramadan starts, and following 63 days of ongoing hunger strike, we have decided to suspend our strike", the statement reads, "We held meetings with Israeli officials, and will release details of the agreement after all hospitalized hunger strikers are discharged".
On his part, former political prisoner and the head of the Detainees Center for Studies, Ra'fat Hamdouna, stated that the talks between the representatives of the detainees and the Israeli officials lasted until dawn hours.
He said the suspension of the strike is based on an agreement obliging Israel to stop the endless renewals of Administrative Detention orders, without charges or trial.
Hamdouna added that the agreement includes, but not limited to, the following points:
1. Israel to stop the ongoing and open-ended renewals of Administrative Detention orders.
2. Renewals of such orders should not exceed one year.
3. Any renewal after that should be based on official charges, filed against the detainees, not the usual "secret files" that the neither the detainees, nor their lawyers have access to.
Lawyer Ashraf Abu Sneina, and the following detainees – representatives of the detainees committee; signed the statement;
Abdul-Jaber Foqaha, Mahmoud Shabana, Sufian al-Wahadeen, Fadi Hamad, Fadi Amro, Ashraf Asfour, Daoud Hamdan, Abdul-Razeq Farraj, and Salem Dardasawy. Signed on June 25, 2014.

Adjusting the X-ray Surface Map parameters on the Medalist 5DX Automated X-ray System
The option for X-Ray surface mapping allows the 5DX to generate surface map points using Laminographic images. To obtain the best images, the 5DX internal algorithm moves the 'z' stage in steps and captures an image at each step. After sampling several images, the clearest image is used for determining the optimum surface map 'z' height.
The values in xraymap.cfg file in the CALIB directory specifies the number of steps the stage will move and the increment of each step. The default settings in this file are:
2 5.0
2 2.0
The first line indicates that for the coarse measurement the stage will make two steps of 5mils each time. The second line indicates that for the fine measurement the stage will make two steps of 2mils each time.
In some instance's, even when using X-ray Surface Mapping, the images in View Verifier may still be out of focus. In this case, X-ray surface mapping accuracy can be increased by changing the values in xraymap.cfg to the following:
6 7.5
2 2.0
Once a good focus has been validated in View Verifier, the values in xraymap.cfg should be set back to the original settings.
The correct mapping height location will be stored in the map_res files, allowing X-ray Surface Mapping to correctly lock onto the proper position each time automatic alignment is run.
Be aware that increasing the number of steps will require additional time for each map point, and that this parameter is a system level setting and will affect all boards which use X-Ray surface mapping. Users should limit the use of X-Ray surface mapping for applications where test times are critical.

If you're the type of person who loves to go outside on the patio to chat with friends and enjoy some snacks and drinks together, an outdoor chat set will suit you well. Outdoor chat sets are also a good option if you have a patio or balcony with limited space. A lot of patio furniture has a tendency to take up a lot of room. Usually consisting of two club or dining chairs and an end table, they are perfect for people who just want to sit, relax, and enjoy the company of the people close to them. Add a couple of ottomans and you'll never want to leave your patio!
Available in every style imaginable, Patio Productions offers plenty of options to choose from whether you prefer modern, contemporary, or traditional. The amount of styles and designs we carry allow you to make your outdoor chat sets a versatile addition to any patio. You'll have no problem finding a set that matches your current patio furniture. Our popular Pineapple Chat Set features a space saving design that allows the chairs and end table to stack right on top of each other, saving you space when not in use. It features a clean modern style that adds stylish appeal to any patio.
We offer chat sets made from polywood that are guaranteed to last for as much as 20 years without any noticeable fading or cracking. Made from top quality materials such as powder coated aluminum frames and all-weather synthetic resin wicker, these pieces of outdoor furniture will keep looking good and serve you well for years to come. One of the benefits of synthetic wicker and cast aluminum frames is that they will last forever with minimal maintenance. A quick wipe down or a rinse with a hose will leave them looking almost brand new. They're also lightweight options compared to wrought iron or wood. It's convenient to buy wicker or cast aluminum for outdoor chat sets because since they're so small, it's common to move them around the patio.
For the majority of our outdoor chat sets, we use cushions with Sunbrella fabrics. Their fabrics are waterproof and extremely durable so you won't have to worry about inclement weather. Another great feature is the customization you get when going with Sunbrella cushions. We carry over 200 different fabrics and prints so you'll be able to find the perfect design for any patio.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our team of patio furniture experts. We're here to help you create the patio of your dreams!

However given what you and Hatari05 have suggested maybe Disney is going to wait for The Remake to hit Theaters, and the release Season 3 and give it a chance to ride The Remake's hype-wave. Maybe there is hope for a Lion Guard Season 4 after all.
@echostone: I am also very excited to meet Rani and The Night Pride.
As for Zira: Her line:
Zira wrote:Scar and I were close,very close.
From "Lions Of The Outlands" leads me to think your 2nt suggestion is the correct one, but I doubt Disney would ever confirm that directly on what is a "Preschool" show. However they did manager to all, but directly confirm in "Return Of The Roar" that Simba gave Kion "The Talk". I guess if they are clever enough they could manage that.

Geometric designs in hooked rugs have been popular for centuries. Trouble is, the beautiful old ones are fragile and often not suited for everyday use. We have always been big fans of traditional hooked rugs and have come up with a solution - our own collection of historic designs, all based on authentic antique patterns from the past. Virtually any size is possible, and although we discourage soccer teams from working out on them, they do have the strength and integrity of the great old rugs when they were brand new.
The good news is, these geometrics work in so many decors - modern, art deco, traditional, mid-20th-Century, minimalist - so many options. Each rug is hand-hooked with the highest quality, durable cotton. Made to order, virtually any size is possible, from runners to area rugs.
We are genuinely excited to offer these historic carpets available in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Our digital catalog is available by request by e-mailing email@example.com

Jenny Cozens' contribution to Cold Iron looks at a different aspect of paranormal investigation. It features that stock situation beloved of horror movie writers: "Let's hold a seance!" It takes still to make this setup feel fresh, and I think the author manages it in a handful of pages.
In this case Mary, a widow, is secretly keen to get a message from her late husband, Ron. She persuades her daughter Louise and her cynical husband John to try and communicate with the Other Side. The couple's young sons find it all great fun, especially when a message they understand is spelled out. It seems that John's mother has something she wants to say...
I liked this one, especially since so much is left unsaid and unexplained. Mary's quest for her particular truth has merely unearthed another. Will she try to reach Ron again? It seems likely, and it's equally likely that she will not like what he has to say.
More from this running review soon. Now that I'm about halfway through Cold Iron I'm finding it a rewarding collection. Given that it contains wholly original material, it's an impressive book.

Back around 1998ish (give or take a year) I was confined to the corner of a windowless office with two other women. Down the corridor in front of us were 5 other women and 2 around the corner and to the left. We talked to each other and customers 8-9 hours a day. Some days it felt like a locker room and some days like a hen house. I wouldn't exactly call it mixed company, but some days things probably did get a little out of hand. I felt bad for any man entering this estrogen domain for his first time.
***Warning the "B" word is coming up & it's not "B"elieve**** If you are offended I understand, but it's my story and I'm sticking to it.
It was in this locker room/hen house environment that the "three ladies in the corner" briefly adopted the song, "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks. And I think they pinned it on me first. We found the song a bit provocative with a catchy beat. I really didn't pay attention to the lyrics until this week.
The Bitch Is In Town!!!!
Now I believe we latched on to it because secretly some of us women wear it as a badge of honor one second, but certainly would be offended if somebody called us this to our face or behind our backs, the next.
An assertive woman may acquire the badge for one of two reasons:
1. The pinner is intimidated by assertive women (or any assertive person)
2. The woman is overly assertive, due to her fear of others not taking her seriously.
Yes, my husband did call me the B word once. Yes, I was being overly assertive because I let stuff build up, exploding with emotions. I was being a big itch (safe word my hubby can use to tell me I am over reacting) and not in a good way. I am letting him off the hook and "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks helps me understand why I should. I'm not condoning his actions. It was a one time offense for which I am forgiving him. Here are the lyrics.
I hate the world today......You're so good to me, I know.......But I can't change..... Tried to tell you but you looked at me like maybe i'm an angel underneath..... Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried.....You must have been relieved to see the softer side....I can understand how you'd be so confused...I don't envy you...I'm a little of everything...All rolled into one
I'm a bitch... I'm a lover... I'm a child... I'm a mother... I'm a sinner... I'm a saint.... I do not feel ashamed... I'm your hell... I'm your dream... I'm nothing in between... you know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am... This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man...Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous... And I'm going to extremes... Tomorrow I will change... And today won't mean a thing
Just when you think you got me figured out...The seasons already changing...I think its cool you do what you do...And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch.. .I'm a tease...I'm a goddess on my knees.. When you're hurt... When you suffer...I'm your angel undercover...I've been numb... I'm revived...Can't say I'm not alive...You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Let's ditch the bitch badge. Let's just be ourselves. Strong, but comfortable with our flaws. Willing to be the best we can be. Get your B*A*G on Ladies.

With Oscars season in full swing, it's common knowledge that quite a lot of really good movies are currently being released. One of these really good movies that have been released, is a Netflix special. Roma directed by Alfonso Cuaron has quickly risen to the top of everyone's list of films to watch, and it also won three Oscars at this year's Academy Awards. However, is it deserving of any of them?
Roma follows a family and their maid in 1970s Mexico, showing the hardships faced by this little group of people as well as the country they live in. It's all in black and white and varies between Spanish and Mixtec, giving the audience a true, authentic feel of the life that these characters are living. It's also based upon the life of Cuaron's nanny when he was a child, which elevates the story so much more. Continue reading

Powell, Hammersley help Newcastle neutralise toothless Tigers
Leicester Tigers suffered a second consecutive defeat in the Premiership as Newcastle Falcons registered a surprise 26-14 victory at Kingston Park on Friday.
Tries from Simon Hammersley and Adam Powell, together with the boot of Andy Goode, did the damage as the Tigers, who went down 10-3 at home to Sale Sharks last weekend, proved unusually toothless again.
The Falcons' third win of the season lifts them to 10th, while Leicester remain third, but risk losing more ground on leaders Saracens and second-placed Exeter, while they are also vulnerable to Harlequins, just one point back in fourth spot.
The visitors had led 6-0 and 9-7 early in the first half through the boot of Freddie Burns, but quickly found themselves in trouble.
Newcastle went in 20-9 ahead at half-time after Hammersley and Powell touched down, Goode converting both tries and sending over two penalties.
Full-back Hammersley exploited a gap in the Tigers' defence to cross in the 15th minute, while Powell scored his try with five minutes remaining the first term thanks to some quick thinking from Goode, who kicked for the corner after Leicester were penalised for side entry at a ruck.
Goode extended the home team's advantage with another penalty 10 minutes into the second term.
Tigers threatened to mount a comeback when Laurence Pearce scored a try in the 64th minute after effective use of the ball from right to left, but Burns missed the conversion attempt to leave his team with plenty to do.
And there were no further scores from the out-of-sorts heavyweights, Craig Willis sending over an 80th-minute penalty to cap off an impressive Newcastle triumph.


text: News Keeping safe over Christmas Christmas is always a busy time with presents to buy, meals to plan and family and friends to entertain. As well as planning for an enjoyable and fun Christmas, we've got some top tips to ensure that your Christmas is safe as well as fun. Buying presents Buying presents for your kids is fun for everyone but it's important to make sure that the toys you buy are safe. Always head to good retailers that you've heard of and have a good reputation. Markets or new, temporary shops often sell illegally imported toys that often don't meet strict toy safety requirements. For example, trading standards officers have issued warnings about light-up fidget spinners where the battery is easily accessible to children. Whilst such toys may seem like a bargain, they may not be built to safe standards and could be dangerous for little ones. Make sure you look at the age range on the toy packaging, as babies and toddlers can choke on small parts or swallow harmful parts of the toy. Toys that are not meant for young children are clearly marked. Focus on: Button battery safety These tiny, button-shaped batteries are found in a range of gadgets and household items year-round. But in the lead up to Christmas, the risk of a child getting hold of them, and potentially ingesting them, escalates. Novelty items such as flashing and musical Santa hats, Christmas cards, fake tea lights (flameless candles) and decorations all flood the market and make their way into our homes. Unfortunately, these just the kind of items that children adore playing with. Button batteries are also found in many children's toys and books. But while batteries in children's products are covered by safety regulations (they are required to have a screwed-down cover) novelty items of the sort found Christmas aren't, and so may pose a bigger risk to children: If a button battery is swallowed and gets stuck in the throat or gullet, the electrical charge from a button battery creates caustic soda inside the body. This can burn a hole through the throat and can lead to serious internal bleeding and death. Remember, for toys, batteries should either be enclosed by a screw and a secure compartment or need two independent or simultaneous movements to open the battery compartment. But remember that older children may still be able to open secure battery compartments. If you haven't seen it before, or need to be reminded of the risks that button batteries pose then watch this personal story of a father, George, from Hampshire whose toddler Francesca sadly died after swallowing a button battery. Other Christmas toy tips On the big day itself, make sure stairs are free from clutter. Children will be rushing around to find visitors, open presents and play with their new toys, so remove things that could cause a bad fall down stairs Look out for small things that young children can choke on. Put small decorations high out of reach, tidy away small plastic toys from crackers and put small batteries (particularly the round, silver button batteries) out of reach of little fingers. Visitors Make sure visitors to the house, such as grandparents, don't leave medicines in places where children can find them, for example in handbags or counted out on bedside cabinets. Medicines are the most common cause of accidental poisoning in children, with everyday painkillers a frequent culprit. If you're staying with relatives or friends over Christmas, remember that the top bunk of bunk beds can be dangerous for children under six. And bear in mind that safety items you might have at home, such as stair gates and cupboard locks, might not be available where you are staying. Food and drink The kitchen can be a hectic place on Christmas day. So keep young children out of the kitchen while you're preparing Christmas dinner and all the trimmings, to avoid burns and scalds. One in ten children's accidents happen in the kitchen. Clear away any bottles of alcohol and the last dregs of drinks left in glasses as even small amounts of alcohol can poison young children. Christmas decorations Keep candles away from Christmas trees and decorations. And don't hang decorations from lights and heaters, as they can catch alight and burn easily. Remember to turn off fairy lights and blow out candles before heading to bed. And check that your smoke alarms are working, so there's time to get out if a fire does start.

This page shows you how to run a specific boot disk type in your Google Kubernetes Engine clusters and node pools.
When you create a GKE cluster or node pool, you can choose the type of persistent disk onto which the Kubernetes node filesystem is installed for each node. By default, GKE uses standard persistent disks. You can also specify an SSD persistent disk.
SSD persistent disks can improve the performance of your nodes for certain workloads. However, note that choosing an SSD persistent disk as your node boot disk incurs additional costs. For more information, see the storage options.
Benefits of using an SSD boot disk
Using an SSD persistent disk as a boot disk for your nodes offers some performance benefits:
- Nodes have faster boot times.
- Binaries and files served from containers are available to the node faster. This can increase performance for I/O-intensive workloads, such as web-serving applications that host static files or short-running, I/O-intensive batch jobs.
- Files stored on the node's local media (exposed via
emptyDirvolumes) can see improved I/O performance.
For additional information on how SSD persistent disks perform compared to, standard persistent disks, see the Block storage performance comparison.
Specifying a boot disk type
You can specify the boot disk type, standard or SSD, when you create a new cluster or node pool.
To create a cluster with a custom boot disk, run the following command.
[DISK-TYPE] can be either:
pd-standard, a standard persistent disk (the default)
pd-ssd, an SSD persistent disk
gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME] --disk-type [DISK_TYPE]
To create a node pool in an existing cluster:
gcloud container node-pools create [POOL_NAME] --disk-type [DISK_TYPE]
For example, the following command creates a cluster,
with the SSD persistent disk type,
gcloud container clusters create example-cluster --disk-type pd-ssd
To select the boot disk when creating your cluster with Google Cloud Console, perform the following steps:
Visit the Google Kubernetes Engine menu in Cloud Console.
Click Create cluster.
Choose the Standard cluster template or choose an appropriate template for your workload.
Configure your cluster as desired.
Click Advanced edit for the default node pool. From the Boot disk type drop-down menu, select Standard persistent disk or SSD persistent disk.
Click Save to close the Advanced edit overlay.
Click Create. The cluster's default node pool uses the specified boot disk type.
To create a node pool with a custom boot disk:
Visit the Google Kubernetes Engine menu in Cloud Console.
Select the desired cluster.
From the Node pools menu, click Add node pool.
Configure your node pool as desired.
From the Boot disk type drop-down menu, select Standard persistent disk or SSD persistent disk.
Click Create.

Basics on Measuring Mixtures
Getting the Flavors into the Mix
When we mix e-liquid the first step is having a way to get the flavorings into the bottles. The question is do you want to mix by measuring volume or weight? Volume was the way most DIYers started out, but many of the more seasoned mixers have moved on to mixing by weight as it is far more accurate and having the ability to reproduce the recipe consistently each time has it's advantages, especially if you like sharing your recipes with others.
Volume Mixing Equipment
Mixing by volume is pretty straight forward math, but it is far easier to use one of the many calculators that are out online and in the app stores that make figuring it out faster. If you're using someone else's recipe — as most beginners do — then you most likely found it on one of those programs. But if you didn't then I recommended using one to figure out your volume measurements. Most calculators have the options of showing mls or grams.
Pipettes are the least effective when it comes to measuring by volume, unless you go for the more expensive pipettors which will measure anywhere from 0.01ml up to 20mls in a far more precise way. I have never used a pipettor, however I do know many mixers who do. The one listed in the above tabs runs around $70, so it is a significant investment to your mixing equipment setup.
Mixing by Weight
Mixing by weight is quite easy, but it takes a little getting used to if you've been mixing by volume already. However, if you are starting out mixing by weight, you are set to create your recipes with precise measurements. Unlike using measuring implements like syringes which can be difficult to be precise with, you get the exact amount in grams that you are using in your recipe, and recreating that recipe again and again exactly every time is great when you create an amazing juice. It also makes recreating other's recipes exactly as they mixed them far easier as well, because as little as 0.024g can change the flavor of a recipe if you are using super concentrated flavorings in a 30ml batch.
So what do you need to mix by weight? Let's take a look.
I was gifted the Nevada Weighing Scale (shown above) by a very special vaper (you know who you are.) I love this scale. It is accurate, and allows me to precisely measure down to the 0.001g amount. This is very helpful for mixing 10ml and 30ml sample sizes for test recipes and single flavor testers. However, it fails in the area of mixing larger batches. For larger batches mixed on the NW scale I measure my flavorings out on the scale and add the nicotine, then measure out the pg and vg separately to get the right amount when I am mixing 500ml batches. It is a far more expensive scale, around $300, though it does go on sale from time to time as well for around $250.
The AWS LB-501 (pictured first) works far better for larger mix batches (over 200mls). It is the most popular of the lower cost scales and used by most mixers who are measuring by weight. Costing only $35 on average (though it goes on sale frequently for under $30 on Amazon) it is probably the best bang for your buck. The downside of this scale is that you don't get the accuracy on 10ml and 30ml batches. If you were mixing 0.25% in a 10ml, you're going to be guessing once your scale reaches 0.02g as to if it is at 0.021g or 0.029g. Does that seemingly tiny amount change a flavor? Yes, it can. Does it change it drastically? Probably not, but you won't know if you're using 0.20% up to 0.29% if you want to recreate the recipe in a much larger batch.
Both scales have their advantages and disadvantages, but if you have the money to spend I'd get both, if you're working on a tight budget the AWS will work well for you.
You will want to purchase some disposable pipettes if you are using larger bottles of flavoring that do not come with twistable pour spouts, or smaller bottles with european drip caps (you know the weird things that don't make any sense cause they don't actually drip anything!)
I purchased a box of 300 pipettes last year and I nearly half of them left now. Most of my flavorings are either in 30ml glass dripper bottles, 10ml drip-cap bottles, or larger twist cap pour bottles. The only flavors I have that I use pipettes for are the 4oz TFA flavors. I do also use 1ml syringes with various sized blunt needle tips ranging from 14 gauge blunt tips, up to 28 gauge. I usually use the 1ml syringes for when I need to measure out a significantly smaller amount than one drop from the bottle will do. An example of this would be Flavour Art Condensed Milk, using 0.05% in a mixture, means I am measuring out a tiny bit if I'm mixing a 30ml bottle.
In a way measuring by weight is like a modified counting drops kind of measuring. You are dripping into your beaker until you get to the correct amount.
Advantages and Disadvantages to Measuring Methods
The advantages to measuring by volume is that it tends to be easier when you are in a hurry to mix a quick bottle of e-liquid. While I normally mix by weight, there are times when I am throwing together a quick bottle when I've run out of my ADV and I am heading out the door to go shopping or visit family. Sometimes volume measuring is just faster. Some people also just prefer it, rather than feeling like they have to mess with an online calculator and they can quickly do the head-math to know the mls amount for the percentages they are using.
Measuring by weight has it's advantages too. The level of accuracy and repeatability when mixing by weight is consistent and helpful to others if you are sharing your recipes, and helpful to you when you love a recipe. You can measure your flavoring directly into the bottle on a scale, much like you can with just a syringe. I use beakers because I also use a hotplate magnetic stirrer, so it is easier to mix into beakers. You will have far less cleanup if you mix directly into the bottle, but sometimes that is not feasible if you are planning to use an advanced steeping method.
The disadvantages to mixing by volume is that fluid volumes can change depending on the temperature and humidity. Syringes and cylinders may not always be 100% accurate and can vary from manufacturer and batch. These are things that contribute to the inconsistency of mixing by volume. I have also found it easy to forget what I was doing and measure the wrong amounts. With weight measuring I don't usually forget what I am doing because watching the scale as I add the liquid keeps me focused on what I am doing.
Inconsistency in mixing the same exact recipe batch has to be the biggest disadvantage.
There are a few disadvantages to measuring by weight as well. It usually takes me a little longer to mix a recipe using weight rather than volume. I also end up with flavorings and pg/vg dribbled and splattered on my scale, often times because I've missed the beaker completely with the bottle or I was paying too much attention to the scale's numbers to notice I'm now pouring VG down the side of the beaker.
Measuring with a scale seems slower to me as well. I have to focus attention on how much I am adding to my beaker and if it's consistent with my recipe measurements. It can also be far more expensive if you go for the more precise scales.
You will also have to read the manuals to see how to calibrate your scale as well. I purchased a calibration set of weights, and figuring out how to calibrate the NW scale is definitely not an easy task. But 3 hours later, and a glass of gin, I figured it all out.
Some mixers find using the weight method to be faster, easier and cleaner. I do think it is easier, but it's certainly not faster or cleaner for me.
If you have a dishwasher it is easy to wash and dry your mixing tools. Syringes can go in the dishwasher with the blunt needles in a mesh bag, the mesh bag can be put in the dishwasher on it's own, but sometimes it can bounce around when it is on it's own. If you have glass bottles you need washed at the same time, the baby bottle holders can work well, placing your bottles in the bottle and syringes in the mesh bag in the top section.
Or if you are using glass beakers, you can place your beakers into the bottom sections and syringes in the top. This will wash, dry and sterilize your mixing equipment without much work on your part aside from loading and running the dishwasher.
However if you are like me and don't have a dishwasher, drying your items after they have been washed can be a bit of a pain. I have two things that I do depending on if I am in a hurry or if I am planning on leaving them out to air dry.
First method is to use the mesh bags, but instead of being put in the washer, you can either use a hair dryer on low to dry out the syringes while you hang the from something, or you can toss the bag in your clothes dryer with a couple of dry bath towels and tumble for 5 minutes on high. This may not be "sterile" in a sense, but since I am only mixing for myself and my husband having my tools sterile is not important to me, clean and dry is. This is the quick dry method for syringes. Obviously you can't use this for glass beakers, but drying those out with a paper towel is usually the quickest method.
If I am going to leave items out to air dry after a mixing session I use a couple of these drying racks. These are also designed for baby bottles, but since I didn't use bottles for my son after 1 month old I had them sitting around collecting dust. They work very well for drying the small items and the big items on the counter. The nipple and straw pipe-cleaners work well for scrubbing the insides of syringes as well. I don't know that I'd buy this now at this point, but pipe-cleaners work if you have residue stuck to the insides of your syringes.

Next Thursday I will finally get a chance to view Doug Wheeler's Infinity Room at David Zwirner in Chelsea up now thru February 25. The wait is apparently long so be prepared, but the reviews are off the charts.
UPDATE: February 28, 2012: After waiting in line and then in the gallery anteroom for nearly 2 hours, I finally saw the exhibition on February 16. I forgot that I had seen one of the previous three iterations of Wheeler's infinity room. It was in 1983 in Los Angeles, at the inaugural show at MOCA. I think for whatever reason, the execution of the piece was much more seemless there than at Zwirner. I could see some dark areas in the upper areas of the so-called Infinity room.

Moms just do. We get up in the morning no matter how little we've slept. We get through the day no matter how much is thrown our way. We don't question, we don't complain (much), we just do.
So take a second this year and think beyond the bath salts and get your mom something awesome for this holiday season. Need some ideas to get you started? Read on.
1) The iPhone.
OK, fine, you might not be an AT&T customer, but I guarantee you that the iPhone is at the top of every mom's wishlist this holiday season. That or another awesome smart phone. So she can Tweet, Facebook, text, and connect with her friends no matter where she happens to be - soccer field, grocery store, or even the library. Oh yeah, and so she can manage the family's calendar and stuff...
2) An eBook Reader - the Barnes & Nobles Nook, an Amazon Kindle, or a Sony Reader.
Granted there's nothing like finishing an awesome book and handing it over to your best friend over a cup of coffee, but there's also something to be said to never being without something to read. You know, for those hours moms spend waiting in the car and everywhere else.
3) A Camera!
Go with a fancy DSLR or a more modest point and shoot, but a mom with a camera in hand is a happy mama who can capture every moment that she's scared she'll forget.
Sure it's a bit cheesy and definitely overdone. So it's a good thing that massages, mani-pedis, and facials can be enjoyed over and over again. Want to make it extra special? Get her two, one for her and one for her best friend, it's like two gifts in one - the massage and a girl's afternoon out.
5) A Year of Coffee.
A latte here, a venti here, it adds up, but it's a small price to pay for a moment of zen in the middle of the chaos that fills a mother's day. Make that moment even sweeter by sparing her the mad 'hunt-for-change-under-the-cars-seats' dance.
Fine, not everyone can afford a regular cleaning service, but a one time clean-up won't break the bank and will be an incredibly welcome treat for even the most zen mom out there. You see, a cleaning service is going to clean behind the chair that mom always ignores, and she's going to dust the top of those light fixtures that are always forgotten. For about five minutes the house is going to sparkle. Then someone is going to track in mud or spill something, but those five minutes will be well worth it.
7) A new car.
Oh, who am I joking. Nothing could replace the beat up mom car packed to the gills with toys, sippy cups, and cheerio crumbs.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Cat Behavior and other Cat topics.
The difference between a cat spraying or marking and eliminating fluid waste is based on the position of the body.
To spray or mark their territory, cats back up to the object, and remain standing to release the urine. They are also known to wiggle their tale while doing this.
Cats will squat very low to urinate, and they will then scratch and cover it up.
Cats with Urinary Infection will try to squat to urinate, but then will rise up as the urine leaves the body, since it is causing physical pain and discomfort.
Cats do not stand up to urinate, even with UI. If a cat is standing up while releasing urine, that is a marking behavior.
My sister's cat has been digonis with urinary tract disease, antiboic's help while she is on them but once off she starts her screaming all nite again which last for about 1 week. The vet says that there is nothing else she can do for the cat. She has been on a strict diet. My sister is thinking about putting the cat down which really upsets' me. But she feels that the cat is in pain and there is nothing she can do about it. Please help!!!!!!!!
