automatic dog feeder
Well hello there fellow dog lovers, thanks for stopping by. The name is Will and I have been a K9 Behavioral Psychologist for over 10 years now, and I'm always looking for that latest and greatest technique, service, or product that can help my clients and their packs.
The PetSafe | Smart Feed | Automatic Dog Feeder
Is my #1 top pick, as it's well designed, durable, and worry-free. It's the only automatic pet feeder I have found reliable enough to go on vacation or be out of town for more than 3 days without having to worry about my dogs being fed. Which says a lot for the PetSafe company who designed it. You'll read more about that deeper into the article.
What really sets the Smart Feed apart, is:
- It comes with a removable, dishwasher safe, stainless steel bowl. To me this is a huge advantage, as a Professional Pet Service Provider, I know the importance of using stainless Steel for your pets food and water stations.
- It has a very reliable conveyor food delivery system which does not jam like the mechanisms most of the other guys are using. In fact, it's the same part # for that used in the well known and loved Healthy Pet Simply Feed, which is incidentally also made by PetSafe.
- It's the only one I have found that Simply works and does so reliably.
The PetSafe automatic dog feeder offers:
- Smart Phone Controlled Scheduled feedings between 1/8th of a cup and 4 cups
- Slow feed option, for dogs that wolf down their food too fast (dispenses meals slowly over a 15-minute period)
- A Feed Now option, you can give an extra meal or snack anytime anywhere via the app
- Auto-notifications to your smartphone when your pet is fed
- Viewing of the last two weeks of feeding activity via the app
- Comparability with iPhone devices iOS 9 or later and most Android smartphones 5.0 or later
- A conveyor food delivery system which does not jam like the other choices on the market
- Wi-Fi enabled (works with your wireless router to communicate with your smartphone)
- Locking Lid (covers the food storage bin to keep it fresh and secure)
- 24 cup capacity translucent hopper (holds dry or semi-moist food and allows you to easily see food level)
- A removable hopper (for easy cleaning yet stay securely in place while attached)
- Pet-Proof Dispenser (keeps pudgy paws from stealing food from the feeder)
- Removable Stainless Steel Bowl (keeps your pets food bowl easy to clean and hygienic)
- Dishwasher safe components
- Automatically changes with Daylight Savings Time
- An additional purchase option: (Two-Way Splitter Adapter for homes with multiple dogs)
No Integrated Web📹Cam…? | Whaaaaaaat!
Though the current model does not come with a video camera, to visibly check in on your pet/s, like a lot of its competitors do, most of those competitors hopper mechanisms, cause frequent jamming. Which is a huge concern if you're away from home for days at a time. So you have to decide whats more important. A pet feeder that actually feeds your pets while you're away, or a cheap Chinese product that will often fail you…
…but, at least I can watch my starving dogs live on video, if I could just get it to connect…
I would like to see the PetSafe offer 2-way wireless audio and video technology in the future. Though, as I have found with all of the other automatic pet feeders on the market, the technology hasn't been mastered yet, but when it is, I'm sure PetSafe will jump on the wagon, and they are probably working on it as we speak.
Why The Other Guys | Just Don't Stack Up
Originally this was going to be a comparison article, with at least 3 different models, but all the pet feeders I've tried, have had so many issues, and as the only one left to compare it to (The PetNet Smart Feeder), has scene become unavailable, the only recommendation I can give in good conscious is The PetSafe Smart Feed. And just like that, this long informative comparison review turned into a very short affair.
Here is a list of issues | found with the other options on the market.
- The dispensing mechanisms get jammed often (leaving your dog hungry or starving)
- The rubber paddles break off and end up in your dog's food(and digestive system)
- They have connection problems with your home Wi-Fi and smartphones
- They don't dispense the same amount of food each time
- They have plastic bowls which allow chemicals to leach into your dog's food
- They don't always feed when they're supposed to, and with no notification of failed feeding
- The motors burn out quickly (probably due to the jamming over stressing the motor)
- They do not dispense properly with irregularly shaped kibble (only works with small round kibble)
- Some don't even have a low food warning beep or text message
- Error codes and bad programming (oh so frustrating)
- The dispensed food does not make it to the accessible part of the bowl
- The bowls are not standard and are very oddly shaped
- The downloadable apps are not user-friendly or don't work at all in some cases
- You sometimes receive used, broken, or refurbished items (when you paid for a new one)
- Bad or nonexistent customer support (tons of issues and no one to yell at or make it right)
Wet Food Option
The common issue with all the other models I have tried, is they are all meant to be used with dry food only. Though PetSafe says their Smart Feed will work with semi-wet food. So if you want the convenience of auto feeding your pet, but also want to feed your pet with wet food, wet and dry mix, or pre-prepared home cooked meals, the FEED AND GO Smart Feeder may be a better option for you.
It can only hold up to 6 feedings though, so it's not ideal for frequent vacationers or those who are often away from home for more than 3 days at a time. The PetSafe Smart Feeder will serve you better in that regard.
That's Great, But My Dog Also Eats All The Cats Food
If you have cat's as well as dogs, you may also want to consider a SureFeed Microchip Feeder. Especially if your dogs have the tendency to eat your cats food. In some cases, dogs will partake to the point where the cat's food is completely gone before they can even get to it.
Leaving your dogs gorged and your cats always hungry. The SureFeed works by attaching the included microchip to your cat's collar so that the SureFeed will only open its lid for your cat, and stay closed and safe when rover comes over and starts a sniffing.
The bottom line is, The PetSafe Smart Feed may not be the prettiest duck on the pond, but it is definitely the most reliable automatic dog feeder on the market. It's the only one I can in good conscience recommend to you as well as my own clients. Please, don't wast your time and hard earned money on the cheap Chinese options, go with the PetSafe Smart Feed, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches and frustrations.
PetSafe Smart Feed F.A.Q
Q: What are the System Requirements:
A: iPhone or iPod with iOS 9 or later or compatible Android smartphone 5.0 or later
- Wireless router 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n)
- High-speed internet connection
Q: How Do I Setup and Assemble My Feeder
A: Remove the components located inside…
- the food hopper.
- If you want, wash and rinse the bowl, bowl holder, food hopper, lid, and conveyor. Once parts are dry, replace the conveyor and food hopper ensuring conveyor is aligned and installed correctly.
- Plug in the power adapter. If you want, install (4) D-Cell alkaline batteries in case of a power outage. Turn on the power switch on the bottom of the feeder. The LED will blink white indicating the feeder is on but not yet connected to Wi-Fi.
- Place the bowl into the bowl holder. Lift feeder and slide the holder notch into the groove on the bottom of the feeder.
- Search for "Smart Feed" in your phone's app store and download the app. Locate and open the app on your smartphone, and follow the onscreen instructions. Complete all instructions and app setup before filling with food.
- Fill the hopper with your pet's favorite dry or semi-moist food. Level the food, and replace the lid.
- Prime the feeder by pressing and holding the manual feed button until food starts to dispense. It must be primed anytime the food gets low to ensure correct meal sizes are dispensed. Your Smart Feed is now ready for use! Use the Smart Feed app to schedule meals and set up notifications.
Q: How do I interpret the blinking lights?
A: LED Indicator | Light Color and Function | What It Means
Solid White: | Connected to Wi-Fi and fully operational.
Blinking White: | Disconnected from Wi-Fi, but the feeder is functioning.
Solid Red: | A mechanical error such as a jam, but connected to Wi-Fi.
Blinking Red: | A mechanical error such as a jam, Wi-Fi is disconnected.

One of the sad facts of motor racing is that when one person crashes another out, someone tends to want to fight about it. Which is what makes this crash in Australian V8 Supercars so wonderful. No one fights, they just help.
Like people.
Warren Luff and Craig Lowndes were pushing their cars as hard as they could go, even though it was only a practice session for the Bathurst 1000, when Luff lost control. Even though he was behind Lowndes, he just couldn't scrub off speed fast enough going through the corner, and ended up smashing into Lowndes from behind before ending up inverted in his own car.
Instead of Lowndes being all passed off and going into super-ragey Hulk mode, he went to go take care of his fellow driver. He made sure he wasn't injured, he made sure he could get out of the car under his own power, and in the end, they shared a hug.
Yeah, I know racing is important, but no competition is life-or-death if it doesn't have to be. Lowndes and Luff look like they know that, and goddamn is it appreciated.

Reasons to Hire a Landscaping Company in Darien, CT
After spending a great deal of time and money renovating the home, the time has come to do something about the yard. Rather than trying to tackle the task alone, it makes sense to call a Landscaping Company in Darien CT, and arrange for a professional landscaper to visit the property. Here are some of the reasons why this approach is the way to go.
Fresh Ideas for the Yard
While the homeowner may have some general ideas for the property, a professional with a Landscaping Company in Darien CT, is likely to have some suggestions that enhance those ideas. For example, the homeowner may like the idea of adding a gazebo to the back yard but is not sure where to place it. A professional will know how far away from the property line the structure must be and can also help identify one or two spots that would work well. The professional can also introduce the homeowner to some design ideas for the gazebo to make it more functional and attractive.
Coming Up with a Plan
The value of working with a professional landscaper is that a specific plan of action is settled on before any work takes place. This will mean deciding what elements will stay and which ones will go. Decisions about the lawn will be made in advance, along with the placement of any new elements for the front and back yards. This is important, since the professional can provide the homeowner with specific costs associated with each phase of the project. Thanks to this attention to detail, there will be no question how the yards will look and how much the work will cost.
Helping After the New Landscaping is in Place
The aid of the landscaping company does not come to an end once the property is transformed. It is possible to secure a service agreement covering the maintenance and upkeep of the landscape. This additional feature will mean the homeowner gets to enjoy the yard without having to spend a lot of time taking care of it.
For help with any landscaping project, call Giglio Landscaping Services Darien CT today. In no time at all, the work will be complete and the property will look great.

Employer Information
What are Childcare Vouchers?
Childcare Vouchers are an employee benefit that is tax and National Insurance exempt. Once an employer is registered with Vouchers 4 Kids, eligible working parents are entitled to exchange £243 of their monthly salary (£55 a week) of their gros salary for childcare vouchers.
The exchanged amount of the salary is exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions, allowing your employees to make savings of up to £933 a parent, a year on their childcare costs. They can be used to pay for all types of registered childcare including day nurseries, nannies, au pairs, crèches, childminders, out of school clubs, holiday schemes, activity clubs and qualifying childcare offered by schools.
What are the benfits to offering childcare vouchers?
Employers can save up to £402 for each employee who joins the scheme.
Improve your corporate image as a family friendly employer
Assists you in the recruitment and retention of staff
The cost of setting up and running a scheme is less than the savings your business makes. So it really does save you money.
Your business doesn't pay National Insurance on childcare vouchers - so you can save up to £402 per year for every employee who signs up to your scheme.

Traffic worst problem, according to Brussels expats
A survey carried out by English-language magazine The Bulletin has found that expats are most concerned about traffic and pollution
Brussels Moves! event next week
According to the survey, a full 91% of respondents thought that something needed to be done about traffic, while 86% think the capital's streets are too dirty. Brussels and Antwerp are regularly noted as having some of the worst traffic congestion in Europe. The situation has also contributed to the air quality, cited as being unhealthy to residents.
Expats are invited to Brussels Moves!, a free event that will see local politicians – including mobility minister Pascal Smet – talking about priorities and fielding questions from the audience. The entire event is in English.
The second half of the evening is devoted to 1Bru1Vote, the movement to allow non-Belgians who live in the Brussels-Capital Region the right to vote in regional elections. Currently, residents can vote in municipal elections (ie Brussels-City, Elsene, Ukkel) but not regional elections.

I sometimes wonder if we as gay men have completely forgotten what it's like to actually date.
You know, meeting for coffee, a meal, a movie, or whatever as a way to get to know someone new. To see if there's some kind of connection between you, and to see if maybe there's a possibility of seeing each again. Before jumping into bed together.
You know, things we USED to do to meet new guys.
But now it seems all anyone wants to do is hook up and play casually first as a way to see if there's some connection there.. and then maybe see if you're compatible emotionally or intellectually. Or however you gauge a potential mate.
Doesn't it seem like we've turned things upside down? Especially with the increasing use of online apps that basically take all the mystery away – gawd forbid you not send at least half a dozen naked shots upon saying hello. LOL
Maybe it's the old naive romantic in me that wishes things were like they used to. I've always preferred to meet for a drink and a chat to get to know someone before even considering anything sexual.
But when I do suggest doing just that nowadays? Well, I must be crazy to even consider the idea!
Or I get accused of being a prude because I won't immediately jump into bed with each headless profile that opens a conversation with a 'hey' and several close-up shots of their junk.
And you know what? I don't care. I'm not going to change how I want to meet people just to satisfy someone else's need to have loads of anonymous sex. I enjoy sex, but it's not how I want to first meet people.. well, at least not usually. 😉
Don't get me wrong, I'm not being judgemental of any of those people who just have sex for the sake of having sex. I've been there, done that. I've just found that right now, that isn't for me.
I don't care what someone looks like naked before I agree to meet with them. I don't care how big their dick is, or how hairy their chest is, or even if they shave their balls or not.
I want to know the person behind the perfectly posed selfie they've chosen for a profile picture. I want to know what makes them unique and special. I want to have a conversation with someone that lasts more than a couple messages before agreeing to meet them. I want to know what their interests are, and I don't mean what they're into in the bedroom either.
Interestingly I'd started this post back on Friday thinking maybe I needed to change my mentality when it comes to meeting new guys…
.. But then I had a date! An honest to goodness actual date, where we met up at a coffee shop in Greenwich before heading over to a pub along the river. It was nice that there didn't seem to be any pressure to immediately jump into the sack, but instead it was all about getting to know each other.
Was there an attraction between us? Absolutely although he's much too young for me (only 26!), but there was some mutual flirting throughout the evening. In fact after we left the pub, he held my hand while we walked down the street to the bus stop.
Ahhhh… how sweet. 🙂
And for the kiss goodbye? It was a quick, chaste peck on the lips.. though we both admitted to each other later online that we'd both wanted a proper kiss. LOL
We've talked about meeting up again soon (he'd suggested today but remembered he'd already made plans with his flatmate), and I'm sure there'll be some kissing involved this time..
All in all it was a lovely evening meeting someone new that brightened up my day. Regardless whether it's just a flirtation or not.

New Year, New Bathroom! 3 Bathroom Updates to Consider for 2019
The beginning of a new year often inspires homeowners to update some of the outdated parts of their home. If you're wanting to embark on an updating project, a bathroom remodel is a good place to start. Bathroom updates can potentially increase the value of your home, have a positive impact on the bathroom's functionality and efficiency and increase the aesthetics of the room.
Eco-Friendly Options
When updating your bathroom, you might want to consider going green. An eco-friendly toilet should be one of your updated features. Each toilet flush takes a large amount of water so having the option to cut that down could help save water and utility cost in the long run. Water-efficient faucets and shower heads are another feature that will enhance your updated bathroom and help your budget. Speak with a plumber or contractor about updates that would fit well in your home and their cost now and in the long run.
Bathroom Tile
Tile is an excellent material choice for bathroom floors and shower enclosures. Tile is a durable product—perfect for a high-traffic area of the home. There is extensive diversity in tile color and texture and in the design patterns you can create. Wood and natural-looking tiles are a 2019 trend. These tiles can add elegance, sophistication, and an element of nature to your bathroom. Tile tends to be easy to clean. It can successfully be incorporated into decor ranging from contemporary to rustic. Stencil tiles can be used in almost any bathroom décor. Black and white stencil tiles can complement everything from modern to farmhouse décor themes. More colorful stencils can be used to exemplify your unique design style. Mosaics retain their popularity in the new year. You can expect to see neutral shades in intriguing mosaic patterns as beauty and simplicity continue to converge.
Updating the Shower
A frameless shower is a key element in bathroom updates for 2019. Frameless showers contribute to the visual spaciousness in the room. They enable you to showcase the tile design you've chosen for the interior of the shower. They require less maintenance than framed showers or showers that require a curtain. The trend of creating spa-like bathrooms is expected to continue in 2019. Frameless shower doors don't have the stark, straight-edge design that framed doors have. Their smooth appearance is a beneficial element in creating a relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom while also bringing a modern, sleek design to the room. Contacting a custom glass company, like Valley Glass Utility or one in your area, can help you get a better idea of how the finished product would look in your own home.
Comfort never goes out of style. Your new bathroom design ideas should include features that provide comfort, joy, and utility. Consider updating your bathroom with eco-friendly option, easy-to-clean tile, and modern, sleek glass features from trusted, local companies like Valley Glass Utility.

Two Navy sub-hunter P-8 Poseidon aircraft and rescue submersibles on board a chartered ship continued to assist in the search for the missing Argentine submarine with 44 sailors on board that last sent out a message nine days ago, U.S. Southern Command said Friday.
The P-8s were flying out of Commandante Espora airbase near Bahia Blanca, about 355 miles southwest of Buenos Aires, while the UUVs, or Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, and side-scan sonar equipment were on board the chartered Norwegian ship Skandi Patagonia in the South Atlantic, said Navy Cmdr. Erik Reynolds, a SouthCom spokesman.
The continuing search was being conducted against fading hopes that the crew of the 216-foot, diesel-electric ARA San Juan may have survived what Reynolds described as a "hydro-acoustic anomaly" that was recorded by undersea monitors, just after the last message from the sub on Nov. 15.
The German-built submarine had been en route from the Ushuaia, a port at the Tierra del Fuego southern tip of South America, to Mar del Plata about 250 miles southeast of Buenos Aires when the last communication was recorded.
Shortly after the last message, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, based in Vienna, said that two of its hydro-acoustic stations detected an "unusual signal" deep in the Atlantic near the submarine's last known location about 270 miles off the Argentine coast.
The Organization, which monitors for nuclear events, said an analysis of its data showed that the signal was consistent with an explosion. The U.S. Navy has reached a similar conclusion from its own analysis, Reynolds said.
Capt. Enrique Balbo, a spokesman for the Argentine navy, told reporters Thursday that "According to this report, there was an explosion. We don't know what caused an explosion of these characteristics at this site on this date."
He said that the search assisted by the U.S., Chile, Brazil and Britain would continue amid mounting anger from the families of the crew over previous false reports that the location of the submarine may have been detected and that additional communications had been received.
The families' ire has been heightened by revelations of the parlous state of Argentina's military since the sub went missing. Argentina's fleet of four P-3 Orion sub-hunters, which could aid in the search, have been grounded because of poor maintenance.
Last week, the Navy ordered the Undersea Rescue Command [URC] based in San Diego to deploy to Argentina to support the search.
Three Air Force C-17 Globemaster III and one U.S. Air Force C-5 Galaxy left San Diego on Nov. 18 with a Submarine Rescue Chamber [SRC} and a Remotely Operated Vehicle [ROV] aboard for Commodoro Rivadavia in Argentina's Patagonia province about 1,080 miles south of Buenos Aires.
The Navy also deployed a Pressurized Rescue Module [PRM] and supporting equipment on board additional flights.
The SRC is a rescue chamber designed during World War II, which can rescue up to six persons at a time and reach a bottomed submarine at depths of 850 feet, SouthCom said in a statement. The PRM can dive down 2,000 feet for docking and mating with a submarine settled on the ocean floor, and can rescue up to 16 personnel at a time.
Both the SRC and the PRM are operated by two crew members and mate with the submarine by sealing over the submarine's hatch, allowing sailors to transfer safely to the rescue chamber.

Pangool is a Java, low-level MapReduce API. By being a Java API, Pig and Hive are automatically not comparable. Now we will discuss about Crunch and Cascading.
Although Pangool shares some goals (simplify, remove accidental complexity) and some design patterns (Tuples) with some of these, Pangool is not comparable to any of the them in that they don't completely replace the Hadoop Java MapReduce API.
Using one the above always comes with a tradeoff. There will be many problems easier to solve with such tools, but some other problems will remain easier to think and program using MapReduce. Also, these tools impose a certain penalty on the performance - and if you really care about performance you'll end up coding with the plain MapReduce API.
Pangool's performance is much closer to that (see our benchmark for reference).
Pangool aims to be a replacement for the plain Hadoop MapReduce Java API. That means you would use Pangool for the same reasons you would use Hadoop Java MapReduce, the difference is that Pangool makes everything much easier and smoother while allowing you to do the same things and retaining about the same performance - so that you no longer need to use the Hadoop Java MapReduce API anymore.
Pangool is not a flow management library. You can chain Pangool Jobs just like you would chain plain Java Hadoop MapReduce Jobs. While this may be sufficient for some cases, in other cases it can be more convenient to use a flow management library, or higher-level tools.
We have been working on an experimental library called "Pangool-flow" that adds higher-level constructs and operations, flow management and parallel Job execution. It is still in development and not ready for use in production, but you can try it at your own risk.
Whereas Pangool's Tuples resemble Avro Records, they are not exactly the same. Pangool is not a serialization library.
Pangool uses Tuples as an extension to the (Key, value) model imposed by the traditional MapReduce model - see our post about Tuple MapReduce for a reference on this. Although Pangool implements mappings for basic types, Tuple fields are serialization-agnostic. They may contain arbitrary data types that are serialized by Hadoop using custom serialization.
Our initial benchmark shows that the penalty of using Pangool compared to the plain Hadoop MapReduce API is between 5 and 8%. Higher-level tools may impose a penalties above 100%. That is why we say Pangool aims to be a replacement for the Hadoop Java API.

Tata's much anticipated Zest sedan is reportedly gearing up for a launch on 4 July in India, claims a new report.
The auto lovers in the country have waited long to see Tata's new offering in the sedan segment on Indian roads. Now a latest report of Motorbash, citing its industry sources reported that Tata Zest is slated for a launch in July and the dealerships of the company would get the demo cars of Zest by June. The report also noted that Tata is likely to commence the booking of Zest in June and the production version of Zest is likely to make its way to the market with new smarter grille.
Tata Zest, a car which was first showcased at the country's biggest automobile extravaganza, Delhi Auto Expo in February has already made numerous appearances on the web through spied images and reports. The car will be offered in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol version of the Zest will be powered by a 1.2 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged Revotron engine under the hood, which can churn out a power of 85 PS at 5000 RPM and a peak torque of 140 Nm 1750-3000 RPM.
The diesel model will come with a 1.3 litre Quadrajet motor, which can generate 90 PS power at 4000 RPM and 200Nm torque at 1750-3000 RPM. The car is expected to come with features like new front grille, projector headlamps, steering wheel and dash board.
Tata's Bolt is also expected to make its way to the domestic market by the end of 2014. Although Tata is yet to make any announcement regarding the launch of its new cars, the company had launched exclusive websites for the upcoming sedan Zest and premium hatchback Bolt.
Meanwhile, In April Tata Motors's total sales witnessed downfall of 34 percent as against the 51,160 vehicles sold in April last year.The domestic passenger vehicle sales of Tata plunged to 30,670 units in April 2014, from 47,595 units in the corresponding month last year.

text: Google is facing a preliminary anti-monopoly probe by the European Commission into its dominant position in online browsing and digital advertising following allegations that it demotes competing websites to the lower echelons of customers' search results. The Silicon Valley internet company revealed today that the commission has sent out formal questionnaires seeking information about complaints from three firms – the British price comparison site Foundem, a French legal search engine called eJustice and a shopping site, Ciao, which is owned by Microsoft. The complaints centre on the way in which Google's search results are compiled and on the terms and conditions the company attaches to deals with advertisers. Although the commission's investigation is only at a tentative stage, the fact that Brussels is taking the issue seriously is likely to set off alarm bells at Google. Google handles 80 percent of European web searches, according to research firm ComScore, compared to 65 percent in the US. Google is likely to characterise the issue as an attack partly orchestrated by Microsoft, which recently merged its search business with Yahoo's in an effort to challenge Google's comfortable market lead

You can tell by the way they present their stuff that we share a sort of way of looking at classic cars – for these fellahs its more about the look and the feel of a great day out on the road – rather than concourse correctness and strict exclusivities of marque, brand and period.
They post some great pics too, so even if, like us, you're not able to leap across the channle at a moment's notice we suggest you bookmark the site and enjoy the ride vicariously.

The new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice features a number of notable moments: Clark Kent meeting Bruce Wayne; Lex Luthor being a genial (maybe too genial) host; a really good look at Wonder Woman, and the reason for that glimpse of Zod we saw in the first trailer, among others.
In any event, the new trailer is infinitely better than the ponderous first trailer – though it does look like it could either be goofy spring/summer fun, or potential MST3K material. Check it out following the jump.

Yup Hayley, spent four months here. So much to do and a vibe like no other, a very healing place and yeah the surf is crazy good, emphasis on the crazy . So much brilliant yoga, organic eateries, every healing modality you could imagine. Take advantage of the massage and spas. Volcano hiking. Argh so much! planning to go back next year 🙂 The litter and some of the socio economic probs prostitution and poverty etc can be confronting but you gotta remain positive haven't you (v corrupt govt so environmental issues are massive but theres many ppl working towards bettering things). Oh I know, you could research some organisations that help animals and go and volunteer for a few days they have crazy problems with tonnes of street dogs and cats and there were some amazing ozzie organisations doing good work. Could be heart breaking but so worth doing. Good luck hope you go soon! If you do I can offer about a million restaurants and cafe recs so don't hesitate X
November 9th, 2016 at 5:37 pm
Ah of course you did, I remember! 4 months sounds like the dream!! I have a feeling I would be coming back with furry friends in tow! Ha! I really hope we make it out there soon, we had been planning a few months in the states early 2017 but that's not looking like an overly attractive prospect now (I know, I'm being a bit dramatic!)… The idea of being somewhere like that and turning phones and wifi off is SO appealing right now!
November 9th, 2016 at 5:38 pm
Also, thanks for the recommendations love, I definitely will shout if we get to make it a reality! xx

While I was watching Kanye perform "Stronger" with Daft Punk at the 2008 VMA's (and giving my laptop diseases trying to find it on LimeWire), John Mayer had recently finished playing, filming, and recording a live show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The footage was later adapted into a short film and released as a live album titled Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles. This is indisputably his best work to date. Though this collection of music is not even officially listed as an album, it is what solidifies him as not only a living tribute to the legends of classic blues rock, but as a member of their timeless ranks himself.
Mayer's career began in 1999 with an EP titled Inside Wants Out, yet it wasn't until 2001 when Mayer signed with Columbia Records that his career catapulted. His first real hit, "Your Body Is a Wonderland," became the reason girls flocked to his shows en masse and guys couldn't do anything besides talk about how boring and unimpressive he was. That is, until they tried to play "Neon," quickly shut up, and went back to playing Wonderwall instead. Before launching into "Wonderland" at his DC show this past April, Mayer described this exact scenario—"I know it's not a great song," he said, "but it's grown and changed with me, and it skyrocketed my career, so I'm gonna play it anyway." 16 years later, Mayer had everyone singing along.
In 2006, while I was too busy listening to the All-American Rejects' "Move Along" and Sean Paul's "Temperature," Mayer quietly released Continuum. I remember hearing my 4th grade TA's phone ring with the tune of "Waiting on the World to Change" and thinking hey, I know that song. But at eight years old I failed to truly appreciate the masterpiece that Continuum is. If you think of all the John Mayer songs you know, you'll see that they're likely from this album. Everyone knows "Waiting…", but remember that Continuum also has "Belief," "The Heart of Life," "Vultures," "Stop this Train," "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room," "Dreaming with a Broken Heart," "I'm Gonna Find Another You"—oh yeah, and "Gravity." Continuum is an album of hits, yet it was still met with complaints of the same detached and apathetic John Mayer style. On tour for Continuum, however, Mayer dissolved these criticisms once and for all. On this tour, Mayer showed Los Angeles—and the rest of the world—Where the Light Is.
The show was structured into three separate acts. First Mayer, alone with a guitar, delivered a five-song acoustic set of hits like "Daughters," "Stop This Train", plus the unrecorded tracks "In Your Atmosphere," now a fan favorite, and an experimental cover of the late Tom Petty's "Free Fallin."
Next, the John Mayer Trio took the stage. The group is comprised of Mayer on guitar/vocals, plus bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan, both of whom are hailed musicians known for their work with The Who and Keith Richards, respectively. The Trio boasts a shocking capacity for classic blues rock, blending Trio originals into a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love". Somehow the piece manages to fully showcase the Trio's authentic skillset while paying tribute to and preserving the magic of the original work. The 10-minute guitar illustration "Out of My Mind," wherein Mayer expertly weaves a musical tapestry replete with threads of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Allman Brothers, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton, makes it emphatically clear that the Trio, and Mayer in particular, is to be respected alongside the greats of rock and roll.
The final nine tracks of Where the Light Is only further solidify John Mayer's rank among the iconic artists of our time. Originals like "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room," met with covers of Ray Charles and Otis Redding that lead into 10 minutes of "Gravity" highlight the fact that John Mayer not only knows who paved the way before him, but that he himself is on a clear path to greatness of his own. To me, Where the Light Is is Mayer's greatest work, and an album that I will undoubtedly listen to for the rest of my life.
Mayer has long been known for letting his overbearing and sometimes arrogant personality overshadow his music, especially after two particularly cringe-worthy interviews with Playboy and Rolling Stone. But after two albums with modest sale numbers and a 4-year hiatus that followed, Mayer says he's ready to reenter the music scene. At 40, he has acknowledged moments of past turbulence, come to terms with what he's really good at, and released a new album, titled The Search for Everything. "So many little worlds to hang in with these tracks," the artist tweeted prior to its release. "This one is a dusty dreamy getaway."
I've had the privilege to see Mayer twice on his most recent The Search for Everything tour, and after two live experiences I am inclined to label him as the greatest guitarist of our generation. While, as a studio album, The Search isn't a full-fledged showcase of Mayer's blues rock skillset, nor is it a return to the energetic guitar-pop of his earlier work, it's arguably his most personal album yet. In a live performance, The Search fits right alongside the highlights of Mayer's career, blending in effortlessly between acoustic excursions, intense blues riffs, and solos. Between the two shows, I was able to see everything that Where the Light Is has to offer, nearly every song from his latest album, and even a handful of older songs I didn't know like "3×5."
Mayer ended both shows with "You're Gonna Live Forever in Me," the final track on The Search for Everything. The song is a deconstructed ballad on a love so deep that it seems even the end of the world will not extinguish it. Yet, as both a song and a message, it is much more than that. While it seems that every year we lose more and more greats—David Bowie, Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, Prince, George Michael, and, most recently, Tom Petty—we can trust that John Mayer will continue to give life to their music while maintaining an air of authenticity that demands the respect of a musician who stands alongside them. "I love you so much," he says to the audience before walking off, a final testament to the fact that he's come to grips with his contentious past, but he's ready to return to music, a more self-aware and visionary artist. Welcome back, John.

Class Action Lawsuit Settles at Disney
Disney Settles Class Action Suit But Still Faces Court Date
The company settled a claim that it intentionally failed to pay about 30 current and former employees overtime wages and provide breaks they were entitled to, but a judge must now certify the settlement.
The Walt Disney Co. will not admit any liability, according to Moss, but will pay a settlement and penalties that he would not specify. The case is expected to go before the judge to be certified sometime in 2013.
A claim against the Walt Disney Co. for intentionally failing to pay about 30 current and former employees overtime wages and provide breaks they were entitled to has been settled out of court, but a class action suit was still filed Thursday so that a L.A. Superior Court judge can certify the settlement, according to Dennis Moss, an attorney in the case.
Read Full Complaint: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/custom/Documents/ESQ/bc497373.pdf
Moss describes the class action suit as a follow-up to another class action suit filed by Joseph Peralta and Pamela Ventura in late 2010 on behalf of 36 salaried employees who worked in a related department, who argued they had been incorrectly classified as managers or "exempt employees" between July 2004 and August 2010. That suit was filed in 2011.
Clay's suit says most of the employees were actually non-exempt. In her case, Clay says that she was "misclassified" as "exempt," which was Disney's excuse to not pay her overtime and for giving her deadlines that made it impossible for her to take lunch and other breaks to which she was entitled under California labor law.
"The failure to pay those class members all overtime sums owing to them upon termination of their employment was willful, and therefore those class members are also entitled to relief," says the suit.
In addition to whatever they are owed in unpaid wages, California labor law also requires the payment of penalties that range from $50 to $200 for each incident and for each employee. The law says that 75 percent of the penalties should be paid to the Labor and Work Force Development Agency, which is part of the state's Department of Industrial Relations.

Opposition against new rules concerning Internal Assessments
This petition made change with 517 supporters!
Mr. G.D. Manoj,
We the students of Sapthagiri College of Engineering hereby express our grievances concerning the latest amendments made to the format of the Internal Assessments . Here are the aforementioned amendments:
1. The IA's will hereafter be conducted for 50 marks (instead of the 25 marks mandated by the VTU for non-CBCS curriculum and 15 marks for the CBCS curriculum).
2. The time limit has been set to 1.5 hours for each test, rather than the logical 2 hours.
3. The syllabus for each round of assessments has been made cumulative, i.e., the syllabus for the 2nd IA includes the syllabus for the 1st IA, and the syllabus for the 3rd IA includes the syllabus for both the 1st and 2nd IA's.
These mandates have been issued by the Principal on the pretext of "improving the standards of education". However, we believe these changes are not in our best interests.
First, according to VTU norms the IA's need only be conducted for 15 marks and supplemented by marks for assignments (for CBCS students) and 25 marks for non-CBCS students. Up until now, the IA's have been conducted for 25 marks and later condensed to 15 marks, which is reasonable. Also, the stipulated time for each test so far has been 1 hour. According to the new regulations IA's need to be conducted for 50 marks and for a duration of 1.5 hours each. Logically this does not make sense because if 1 hour is a reasonable duration to answer questions worth 25 marks it should follow that the duration for a 50 mark test should be 2 hours.
Second, the syllabus for IA's has been made cumulative. This is especially disadvantageous to those classes following the CBCS curriculum considering the vast amount of information we are expected to learn. While students of non-CBCS scheme have only had to study 8 units per semester, we need to study 5 modules, each comprising an average of 3 units. Therefore, conducting tests with cumulative syllabus is not a reasonable proposition, especially considering the unfair time limit imposed on each test. Furthermore, we are expected to take two tests in a day for three consecutive days for each round of IA's. As it may very well be clear to you there is not enough time to adequately prepare for these tests.
This revised system would also add an unnecessary burden on the faculty seeing as they not only have to finish the syllabus on time and prepare question papers but also spend an inordinate amount of time in correcting the answer scripts.
As students, the following would be our suggestions should the principal be intent on "improving the standards of education":
1. Make qualitative changes while preparing question papers rather than quantitative changes.
2. Improve the quality of teaching by hiring more competent as well as appropriate teachers for each subject.
We would also like to add that despite making our concerns clear during the class committee meeting convened a few days ago the Principal was unreceptive and absolutely refused to consider any changes to his mandates. We hope that we have made a clear case for our opposition. We refuse to tolerate such arbitrary amendments, seemingly made without much deliberation and with no regard whatsoever for the students and teachers. As a result, we have made a unanimous decision to organize a protest at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, the 15th of March in the amphitheater. We demand a rollback of these measures and request your intervention in the matter.

India's Goa Shipyard delivers second OPV to Sri Lankan Navy
India's Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) delivered the second advanced offshore patrol vessel 'SLNS Sindurala' to the Sri Lankan Navy in a ceremony in India on March 22.

Last week my mum was talking about depression and it's treatment and she came up with the best analogy I have ever heard. Depression is like a fire alarm. It's a useful tool as it tells us that something is wrong, but it's how we deal with the alarm that truly determines how we utilise it. There are two ways you can fix the problem, you can find the reason the alarm is going off or put on a pair of ear muffs. No alarm, no problem. One is short term, one is long term. One deals with the cause, another the symptoms. What I want to convey here is the use of exercise and diet to fight the fires raging inside many. As a fire extinguisher is much better than a pair of ear muffs.
You hear in the news that the "depression crisis" has hit a new high, and rates keep on climbing despite millions of bottles of pills being given to patients all across the world. Clearly something needs to change. Attitudes need to change. As explained briefly in the introduction, depression is the language that the body uses to show you that something is wrong. It may be anxiety, low self esteem or some other underlying condition- but no one develops into a depressive state without one of these conditions present in the background. Sadly, often times, these conditions are such that they lie invisible to the onlooker but are very much active in the person they chose to haunt. They only become obvious with the help of depression- something that is looked down upon with such hatred and suspicion in the modern world of medicine.
So we have found that the issue is that of the underlying conditions and not the depression itself. So how should we treat it?
Well, just the opposite of what we do now. What we need to be doing is actively going after the conditions that cause the depression. We should spend our time and energy putting out the fire not finding a pair of ear muffs. So… Where do I fit in in this? Well as I mentioned in a previous mental health post, exercise has a huge effect on your psyche. Due to the various chemicals released in your brain upon completion of exercise, things like self- esteem begin to increase, self confidence develops and a desire to do more exercise will follow. This matched with the self progressive nature of exercise sends you into a spiral of success. However, of course exercise is not the only way you can help remedy such problems but for the sake of this blog I will not mention others.
I hope this has been of some help to someone. Any further questions then leave them below- I would love to answer them.

I've been shopping around with this until I learned it's similar to a lesser-known Asimov story. Still, I'm somewhat proud of it, and I'd rather show it off to the world than let it collect dust on my laptop.
Check it!
The nebula between his hands was spinning. Gas clouds danced and grew thicker with each rotation. Gently, he caressed the glass sphere containing them and turned it over, inspecting its sides with paternal care. The iron band holding the globe together had a set of lights on one side. They blinked in a way that pleased him. The gravity field was stable. He was ready for Phase Two.
He took the globe across the attic. Slow and deliberate steps kept him from disturbing old and loose planks of wood or bumping into the rest of his equipment. Tall grey canisters and a box filled with empty glass balls lined a wall to his left. The homemade superconductor he used to test his gravity bands filled the space next to a portable centrifuge on a wooden table. Chests housing personal effects – mementoes and some clumsily-scribbled schematics from yesteryear – were pressed together in a corner.
Soon, he was at his desk. Amid the clutter of blueprints and miscellaneous devices was a metal claw. Each of its digits ended in a wide tube, and its wrist-like base was a cone covered with switches and dials. It sat comfortably next to a photograph of his family spread out on a couch, their faces frozen in practiced joy. "I'll make you proud," he muttered, looking briefly into their petrified eyes.
He set the globe in its grasp, lining up the machine's fingers to the holes on the sides of the gas-filled sphere. Careful and calm, he held the ball up with one hand and reached for a button on the claw's base with the other. A loud quartet of clicks sounded as the finger-tubes connected with the sphere. He pulled his hands away, and saw that the orb was in place.
Quickly, he ran to the side. Work clothes sat in a pile by the attic window. He switched out, pulling his gloves off and slipping on a new pair. He swiftly threw a leather smock over his body. Goggles fastened to his face, he walked back to the machine. He turned a dial on the base clockwise and lined another up with a red-coloured symbol on its immediate right.
Hands on the desk, he leaned forward and waited. Ensuring the balance of the hydrogen and helium levels was easy, but delicate. Stabilizing the gravitational field inside the globe was trickier. He remembered how the gravitational field once expanded outside its globe and upended the room for twelve seconds. He reflected on his other failures: the shattered glass and the rogue gas clouds, the burnt table, last month's black hole scare.
More than that, he remembered the shame. Each time a globe broke or a gravity field destabilized, sheer overwhelming disdain followed. He knew he could do better; he had to do better. It was amazing for him that he got that far to begin with, but knowing what was at stake if he failed pushed him further.
Forcing the collapse of the cloud was something he only succeeded in doing twice. Neither time was successful. He was hardly superstitious, but he wrung his hands together and murmured: "Third time's the charm."
There was a whirr. The claw holding the globe shook and buzzed. The nebula spun in place faster than before. A pinpoint of light emerged in its centre.
A spark. Gas ignited and the inside of the globe was ablaze. Light reflected off of his goggles. He stepped back and shielded his face. The fire rose, pressing against the glass. It glowed red. A gleam enveloped the desk, rays of primal light stabbing outward. The family picture went missing in its glare.
He tensed and backed away from the blaze. Seizing the fire extinguisher he had brought up from the main floor, he undid the pin and gripped the nozzle. The black tube shook as he aimed it at his creation and prepared to douse the desk.
The gesture was unnecessary. In seconds, the flame died down. What once was a struggling fireball forcing against its bonds quickly shrank down to a little globe. His desk was intact; the photograph, unscathed.
Orange light danced inside the glass sphere. It was bold and bright and solid. Spinning slowly in its container, the tiny star flared up. Miniature sunspots and leaping snakes of fire appeared and disappeared in an instant.
He relaxed and set aside the extinguisher. Excitement brought him back to his desk again, though caution dictated the speed. Gingerly, he held his hand up to the sphere and the burning ball inside it. Its warmth was gentle.
A wry smile crept across his face. Timmy was ready for the Science Fair.
See you next time,

Vacation with family is one way that we can do to strengthen the relationship between family members. There will be a liquid and relaxed yet familiar atmosphere in a family trip.
Vacation with family is a little different from a holiday with friends. If with a friend we can behave silly and crazy whatsoever, with our family usually tend to be more controlled. Is not it?
Planning a vacation with family is not an easy matter because every member of the family must have their own busyness. However, if it had been planned well in advance, it would be done.
If you are currently planning a vacation with your family, some of the following tips maybe you can try. To make your holiday with your family more fun and fun.
1. Plan a Vacation Well in Advance
Every member of the family must have their own busy life. This is a major problem that makes it difficult to realize vacation plans. Especially if the father/mother is an office employee who is tied to working hours. Especially if there are family members who are still in school/college. If you have this, weekend becomes the only day that we can choose.
However, there are always many roads to Rome. We can negotiate with the family to take advantage of a long weekend or national holiday as a joint holiday agenda. The condition, we must say no if there are friends who also invite a vacation during a long weekend or national day.
2. Select the Destination as Agreed
While enjoying a relaxed atmosphere with your family, try to offend some cool sights as a conversation. Who knows, from the light conversation then came the desire of all family members to visit the place you are talking about.
Nothing, too many cool places in the world that are very interesting to visit. If each family member has a different desire, it's a hassle. We can not impose a desire to visit a certain place while other family members are less suitable. Before deciding to visit a particular destination, make sure all the families have agreed. So that all family members can all out when the day comes.
3. Plan Activities that can Unify
Where we are going, there will be a lot of activities to do. Of the many activities that can be done, plan some activities that can unify.
Or, if you want to visit the natural attractions of the mountains, you can consider trekking or a leisurely stroll in tea plantation areas, for example. In essence, make sure all family members can participate in every activity that we will do in the place we want to visit.
4. Choose to Lodge According to Budget, but don't ignore the Facility
The Inn is one of the most important things when we take a vacation trip with the family. For that, not to choose the wrong place to stay.
Make sure you choose a place to stay in accordance with a holiday budget. Look for references to places to stay on the internet and find the most suitable price, but do not ignore the facility.
5. Do not Forget to Capture those Beautiful Moments
Moments of vacation with family is a very rare moment. Eat, be sure not to forget to capture the moment with a photo together. Consider using photo services for better and memorable photos.…READ MORE
One of the most complicated issues for traveling fans is the budget that often does not exist. Though the intention already exists. That's why promo tickets are still the most sought after by travelers, especially backpackers.
Getting a ticket (Airplane) with a cheap price means we will save budget traveling is quite significant.
However, please note that promo tickets are not always really cheap. There are a few things we should look at before deciding to buy a promo ticket. Especially related to airline services that provide the promo tickets. Most airlines that sell promo tickets do not provide all services in one package. So we have to pay additional fees for the service. If not careful, we can spend more money in one trip than by buying regular air tickets.
Here are some things you should look at before deciding to buy a promo plane ticket.
1. Excess Baggage Fees in Promo Tickets
Before finding information about promo tickets for a trip, make sure first what items we will bring. When going on a holiday trip, we will usually carry a backpack with a load that is not small. If the weight of the goods we carry exceeds the baggage capacity then we will be charged additional fees.
How much does it cost? Additional charges for their overload are calculated per kg. Each airline sets different tariffs.
Well, before buying cheap air tickets, consider first how much the maximum baggage load. Then note also the weight of the load that we will carry. If there is an excess, try calculating the amount with the airfare price.
2. Usually have to Pay Additional Fee for Certain Facility
His name is also a promo ticket, the facilities we receive are of course also minimal. If you can get all the facilities for free, you're in luck.
Almost all airlines selling promo tickets do not include all features for regular tickets. For example, if we want to use the blanket and pillow facilities we have to pay an additional fee. In addition, there is rarely a promo ticket that provides a ticket cancellation facility or a change of date so that it is more binding and very inflexible. The change of passenger name is also almost impossible on a promo ticket.
3. Usually don't Provide Consumption for Passengers
Some airlines provide snack alias snacks for all passengers who make flights less than an hour. For flights of more than one hour passengers even get the main meal.
To reduce operating costs, airlines that sell promo tickets usually do not provide any consumption for passengers. For short-haul flights this may not be too much of a problem. What about flights that take more than 5 hours?
4. Usually can't Choose a Seat
Another less pleasant thing when purchasing a promo plane ticket is the subject of seating. Because the ticket price is very minimal, we are usually not given the privilege to choose a seat. Inevitably we have to sit in the chair they provide.
5. Some Airlines Require Web Check-In
When you've managed to get a ticket promo with cheap price, note whether the airline requires passengers to do web check in or not. If so, make sure you have done web-check in before leaving for Airport. Because, if we do check in at the counter while the airline requires web check in, we will be fined.
6. Notice Where the Promo Came from
Last but not least. Always pay attention to where you get the promo ticket info. Make sure the promo comes from a brand that already has a good name. Or at least, you already know him.
To get information on promo tickets, you can subscribe to emails on some airline ticket booking services.
That's a little thing you need to pay attention to when buying a promo ticket. Hopefully useful for you all, especially for you who hobby traveling.…READ MORE
Homeowners looking to make a splash with their lawn often turn to installing a water feature. From ponds to fountains to waterfalls, these displays add a touch of movement, sound and texture. Here are several reasons why water features have created a ripple among home improvement enthusiasts.
Although pools, decks and other popular additions may be too large for small lawns, water features can be designed to fit a property of any size. These aquatic elements also provide a perfect escape for yards with awkward or ill-designed areas. That seldom-used patch of property will quickly become the most popular spot on your lawn with the right feature.
Water has a calming effect on people. Watching crashing waves or rippling streams provides a feeling of inner peace and tranquility. Many people find relaxing beside a water feature to be a great way to reduce stress or anxiety, and others incorporate moving water in meditation practices.
While pool upkeep will take a significant chunk of your time, ponds and water features are mostly effort-free. Recirculating water reduces the risk of bacteria, and landscaping elements can further keep the area clean. Algae blooms are curtailed through the use of aquatic plants like coontail. Water lilies bring beauty and color to your display while also absorbing excess nutrients. A little reading on aquatic weed control will help you avoid invasive and harmful plant species.
Water features are a quick and easy way to increase a property's curb appeal. Moving water invites individuals to take a closer look at a property. When paired with a well-maintained lawn, water features help drive a home's value upward, and many displays won't even break the bank. While complex or expansive elements may come with a hefty price tag, several soothing models are available to suit even the most modest budget.
Nothing makes a property stand out like adding a splash of water. If you find your yard yearning for something extra, consider incorporating a new water feature.…READ MORE

Tips on how to get the most affordable flights, in accordance with an air travel skilled. Imperial merged with British Airways in 1939 to create the British Overseas Airway Corporation. In many ways, Imperial Airways and its routes all over the world in the Thirties had been the last gasps of a dying empire; a novel mission during a novel time of enjoyment and strife.\n\nBut Imperial did indeed make the world feel that much smaller—that much further into the long run. In late 1938, the revolutionary DC-3 airplane departed Newark Airport for Glendale, California. On an early evening in late 1938, a gleaming American Airlines DC-3 departed Newark Airport, certain for Glendale, California.\n\nBy the time the flight crossed over Virginia, passengers had already polished off a dinner of soup, lamb chops, vegetables, salad, ice cream and low. Beyond Dallas, the journalist added, visibility was limited only by the far horizons of the curving earth." Despite head winds, the airplane arrived on schedule at 8:50 a.m. Whole time was 18 hours 40 minutes, including several ground stops.\n\nAt present, a legendary DC-3 hangs suspended in the Smithsonian National Air and House Museum. Built by Douglas Aircraft, founded in 1921, the DC-3 integrated breakthroughs developed at Douglas and Boeing—super-charged 1,200-horsepower twin engines, cantilevered steel wings, retractable landing gear.\n\nBut the airplane's major—and romantic—accomplishment, says Henry M. Holden, creator of The Legacy of the DC-3, is that it captured America's imagination. And with good purpose: Passengers aboard the airplane entered a cosseted world inconceivable to at present's beleaguered air traveler.…READ MORE

Speaking at the opening of her action thriller Salt in Tokyo, Jolie said that during work on the film, in which she plays a tough spy, Pitt often brought the children to the set.
"They played with fake blood, and they found mommy very strange in her different hair," she said.
Pitt and Jolie started a relationship while working on the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." They are raising six children.
Last week, Pitt and Jolie accepted undisclosed damages in London's High Court to settle a privacy claim against a British tabloid that had reported in January that they were planning to split.
Asked about her ability to work and maintain a happy family, Jolie said: "Brad is the word that makes it possible."
Jolie, was with four of the children on the Japan trip. They have already spent some time shopping for toys inspired by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki's animation characters Ponyo and Totoro, she said.
Jolie, 35, acknowledged she once surprised her eight-year-old son Maddox with her disguise as a male naval officer in Salt.
He came into the room and reluctantly shook hands with the person he didn't know was his mother.
"And I said, 'Honey, it's mommy,"' Jolie said.
"I think I freaked him out," she said with a laugh, adding that he then watched her peel off her fake ears, hands and nose.
"I play these roles, but I'm always in every minute their mom first," she said. "I'm a bit of a goofy. I'm funny at home, I think."
Her children aren't going to be seeing the movie, though.
"I think it's very hard for them to see someone trying to kill their mom, even if she wins," she said.
