This will be my tree's 3rd spring. So far, it has bloomed one blossom each spring. It is not growing much but living. I wonder if it is not much better suited for cold climates as it is not thriving so far here on the Big Island of Hawaii at 100ft. elevation on the rainy side. I love the blossoms and wish it would take off. Planted it in the typical planting medium here: 50% 1/4" black cinder, 50% composted mulch. We don't have dirt here so this is what everything is planted in. Almost every plant and tree thrives in this so I wish this one would take off.

I drive through old downtown neighborhoods in Virginia just to see these old dignitaries blooming in early spring. Their magnificence during that time is more than enough to make me overlook the fact that they're a one-trick pony. The rest of the year, this is a pleasant, but unremarkable, tree. So, given that it's all about the flowers, I'd consider placement carefully. It has a wide growth habit, so give it room. They're slow growers, but can become surprisingly large over time. The "Ann" cultivar is better for small spaces. Magnolias typically don't grow much at all in the first couple of years, while they're developing a good root system. Luckily, they do start blooming when they're small. You can reduce the chance of late frost damage by planting them in morning shade to delay bloomin... read more

I love these trees but cannot find the old-fashioned type anywhere. The much older ones had larger, very pale pink flowers. The ones in nurseries now have dark purple flowers which are not as pretty to me. There were two very large ones in a front yard next door when I was young. My great aunt always called them tulip trees. A lot of people did because the large unopened blooms looked like tulips. Giegertree was being a jerk!! The older generations called them tulip trees and there's nothing wrong with that. Get over yourselves.

They are beautiful most years in Northeast Texas, along the Red River. This year (2016), we had a very early spring and most trees have already bloomed. Ours survived many years without supplemental watering in summer. Saucer magnolia is commonly used for the name, but many of my parents' generation (and I am over 70) call them "tulip trees" --which I see is also a common name in Alabama, North Carolina, and New Jersey :). So they have a long history with our hot, dry summers and erratic spring temperatures.

I like to prune the cross branches in late winter or early spring, and then display them in water much as one might do for forsythia. In time the leaves and blossoms that sprout from the fuzzy buds make a fragrant and pretty display.

I planted my Saucer Magnolia in 2001 and it has slowly grown, with minor pruning each year after it blooms. The tree has never lost its flowers to early blooms/late frosts. It is in my front, side yard on the northside of my home in partial shade. Very few of these trees in Medina, NY, which is a shame, because this tree deserves a wider distribution in any neighborhood.

I planted my Magnolia x soulangeana at the south west corner of my house maybe 35+ years ago. The spring after planting vandals (kids?) tore off all the flowers, maybe a dozen, and scattered them around the neighborhood. I was furious! It blooms extravagantly every spring and has several dozen during the summer. It is never affected by frost. I once brought some flowers into the house but the fragrance was so overpowering I had to remove them! It is as tall as my 3 story house even after being cut back 6 feet or so in 2 different years. I expect to do some more pruning this summer. A neighbor once gave me a photo he took of it in full bloom because he thought it was so beautiful!

Love our Magnolia. We sit in its deep shade every afternoon throughout summer. Our is flowering less and less each year. It may be as much as 30 years old - since it was planted by a previous owner. Does anyone know what is the expected lifetime of this beautiful tree ?

I love this plant. I live in an old farmhouse (built around the 1840's) next to an orchard form the early 1800's. I do not know how old the tree is but it is beautiful when blooming or even just with leaves. As I kid I climbed the tree (a vary good beginner climbing tree btw). The Magnolia is easily 40ft and is next to the sidewalk making a picture perfect view each day it blooms when walking to my car or barn. The tree has recently had a main limb cut down because it was hallow, hopefully this does not mean it is the beginning of the end for this beautiful tree.

I purchased a saucer magnolia from my local Home Depot. I was unaware how large it would get, so I will have to transplant it this fall. It is in front of my house in a flower bed (morning shade and afternoon sun). I planted it in late February. Shortly after planting, it bloomed profusely (beautiful purple blooms). In 4 months it has grown considerably and I noticed today among all the beautiful leaves that it has buds that are starting to bloom again! The only things I have done to it was trim some lower branches, Miracle Grow, and the soil I planted it in was one of those "water wise" soils that I mixed with our local clay soil. It gets pretty dry here in the summer (Alabama). I love this tree!

Yes, this plant is an early bloomer, which usually means it gets caught with a late freeze. This is true for every early spring bloomer in the Dallas area.

I like to give it a neutral rate. But maybe in a better and more suitable climate and in a yard without such limited space I'm sure it will get a more positive rate. In my climate there's a great chance that it will not flower without being damaged by late night frosts. Whenever this happens when it is in flower...ooohhh it looks so sad, ugly..truly a sad looking spring.. and it brings a lot of mess without having any joy to see it in flower. I have a tulip tree in my garden...It has been there when I moved in.. it has been planted by the former inhabitants. Like most Dutch city backyards my space is very limited. I think average space for Dutch city yards is about 50m2..(unless you're lucky and/or rich).. so I'm just lucky to have 200 m2. For that fact I would not have chosen to plant a ... read more

We planted a small 15-inch "tree" in summer 2007, and it's been neglected. Our soil is rather clay-alkaline, as well. It doubled in size in a year, then in fall 2008 a large windstorm ripped it in half. The remaining half rebounded quickly and in December it began to bloom again! No problems whatsoever with blooming, even when it was first planted it put out a few blooms. It's bloomed on and off nearly throughout the year despite a 7a climate, ice and snow storms. Maybe these people who are giving it Negative ratings need to stop trying so hard and just let it find its own way!

My magnolia in zone 5 Pennsylvania is a magnificent 25' by 25'. I call it positive because although a final frost or hard rain can take the bloom away, there are an equal number of years when we have that perfect sunny spring day and open those windows to watch the flowers and smell that heavenly fragrance. It is worth it.

Tree has a great form, and hundreds of beautiful flowers. Why A negative? The tree starts blooming and all of a sudden we have a cold snap. Then you see it the next day the flowers have turned to brown mush. Out of the 18 years of having this tree only 6 winters spared its flowers. It is about 25 Ft. This fall I've noticed huge splits on every main branch and the main trunk. I'll update spring 2008. I think it will bloom and then die.

I've planted these 'Tulip Trees' here in zone 7b. Once they're established they can take up neglect. I planted 3 of these on a property in 80's. 2 under big oaks' shade and one in full sun. The one on full sun is proprtionately bigger and bloomed more profusely. And yes, some year they suffer from late frosts, as it does happen quite often here. But when these gems are in its full blooms. Behold; beauty and pure. The rest of the growing season. It's not too showy, but what can beat the winter blues when Saucer Magnolia are there to shout out "Spring is near".

In my neighborhood I've watched quite a few of these trees rapidly grow from small pot plantings to large trees (10 years) and they are fabulous! They always bloom profusely right after the last frost and then shower the ground with petals which can wait a bit before being picked up - they're pretty. The leaves are large and bright green - very attractive and distinctive. I've never seen the problems that other posters have indicated. Maybe my hardiness zone is better for them, even though it's colder.

I agree with the previous statement about this tree blooming too early. I have even seen them starting to bloom in the fall after shedding its leaves, only to have the frost get them. While the tree may be pretty in bloom, I think its just an ugly tree the rest of the year. The foliage is a light green which always looks like it has chlorosis. Plus, it looks more like a bush than a tree.
On Dec 3, 2005, ineedacupoftea from Denver, CO wrote:
I'm actaully giving this beautiful tree a negative rating because of its propensity to bloom suicidally before the last frost. Years of failure due to late frosts have been written from 1 in five to 1 in 3 years. I would also not give it a negative rating were there not a grand range of new cultivars that bloom just late enough to miss turning into a spring tree of brown rags. But ther are many out there. I do give it credit for being adaptable to extreme, even dry, soils, and being a bloomer at a very young age.

Please read this column in the following context. Shortly after I wrote it, but before sending it in, I received word that the sponsors of H,Res. 106 were delaying bringing it to a vote. All this does is change the timing of our efforts, not the substance. In fact, it gives us time to do the very things I recommend below. Nor does the concluding paragraph require amendment.
I think we might all be getting a sense of what it must've been like being subjected to a torture device favored by the late Shah's SAVAK (secret police). Evidently, it was a head-enveloping helmet that caused the victim's screams to echo, thus "enhancing" the suffering.
The American media is the helmet. The screams are "It'll never pass," "106's supporters are jumping ship," "Give up, it's hopeless." In particular, the right wingnut radio and TV operation has been engaged to beat us and the Resolution's Congressional supporters down. No less an "eminence" than Rush Limbaugh weighed in with his bulk and blather. Fox News was going against us full force. Not that the remainder of the media was much better, but at least they weren't caustic in their criticism.
The ironic result is that we might actually benefit. Some 5000 articles have appeared about the Resolution in the run-up to the committee vote and since. That's a lot of Genocide awareness being created. I'd bet we didn't get this much exposure while our ancestors were being killed off by the Turks. Very little of this coverage questions the verity of the Genocide, just the timing of the Resolution relative to the Iraq war effort's need for Turkish land and air space.
Once again, we should thank the Turkish government for helping us do our job by spending their millions and using up chits with their U.S. minions.
BUT, this doesn't mean the news is all good. We must counteract this media attack or our efforts on the political front will be damaged. In fact, according to one of our media operatives, that's EXACTLY the strategy our opponents have adopted. They've opened up a new front where they know we're not as strong. They saw they were losing politically, we had the votes, so they shifted to the media echo/torture chamber.
What are we to do? While still calling members of the House of Representatives, we must also start pressuring the media. Before going on, let me tell a VERY illuminating story from the days when the (Azeri) Turks were massacring us in Baku.
At the time, I was the ANC-WR Executive Director. Coverage by the LATimes had been undesirable. I called to pursue improvement and spoke to Simon Li, then the foreign desk editor. He agreed to meet with us. We were all pleasantly surprised. But what is most telling about this incident is what he said to us. He asked if we knew why he agreed to meet with us. Of course we did not. He told us my call was the first where the caller was calm and rational.
The moral of the story is clear. Good cop, bad cop. Any time you see bad coverage, start calling the outlet- newspaper, radio or television station, blog- in question. Get your friends, relatives, and neighbors to call. Drive them nuts. Here, if you use e-mail or snail mail, it's good. But MUCH better is the personal impact of a call. Think of how easy it is to ignore text- electronic or ink- versus someone screaming in your ear. But be sure to let your local or regional ANC know. You're creating the entry. Then let someone who's media savvy go in. You can go to the various ANC websites (especially the ANCA's that promptly reports developmen's), or call the regional offices for local references– Eastern Region- 617/926-3974, Western Region- 818/500-1918.
In your calls or other contact, hit them with facts, press them for corrections, demand space for op-ed pieces that tell our side of the Resolution story– not the Turkish/Administration/Defense lobby's spin and lies. The resolution has more cosponsors, even now, than 90 percent of the bills in Congress, and, at its peak, barely a handful had more. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is still committed to bringing the Resolution to a vote– when has she ever said otherwise? Turkey, no one else, is endangering the lives of American soldiers by threatening to close its transport routes. Turkey is threatening to destabilize the entire Middle East by invading Iraqi-Kurdistan. Why should American values and history (going back to the relief provided in the immediate aftermath of the Genocide) be sacrificed so Turkey can continue its denial? Who else but a guilty party would go to such extremes to avert passage of an otherwise minor piece of legislation?
We're winning. Now would be a very bad time to give up. Pick up another battering ram, and this time, go for the media.

Shortness of breath, or breathlessness, describes difficulty or discomfort when breathing. A person may feel tightness in the chest or feel as though they cannot get enough air. The medical term for shortness of breath is dyspnea. Potential causes include congestive heart failure, obesity, and respiratory issues.
Sometimes, people find it hard to breathe when they are lying down flat. The medical term for this is orthopnea. People who experience this will often need to prop themselves up on pillows so that they can sleep.
There are several possible causes of orthopnea, such as carrying excess weight or having an underlying health condition such as heart failure.
In some cases, the feeling of breathlessness can wake the person up suddenly. The medical term for this is paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. A few things, including snoring and certain sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), can cause paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.
This article will look at some of the more common causes of and treatments for shortness of breath when lying down.
One of the most common causes of orthopnea is heart failure.
In heart failure, the heart can no longer pump blood to the rest of the body as well as it should. Or, it has trouble relaxing after squeezing. So, the pressures in the heart increase, which can cause the fluid to back up into the lungs, abdomen, or legs.
Heart failure can result in fatigue, shortness of breath, leg swelling, and, in some cases, coughing. Everyday activities such as walking and climbing stairs can become more difficult.
Some signs and symptoms of heart failure include:
- shortness of breath
- persistent coughing or wheezing
- a buildup of excess fluid in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen
- weight gain
- lack of appetite
- nausea
- confusion or impaired thinking
- increased heart rate or heart palpitations
There is no cure for heart failure, but people can usually manage the condition by using medications and making healthful lifestyle choices.
- angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, such as lisinopril or enalapril
- angiotensin II receptor blockers, such as candesartan or losartan
- angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitors, such as sacubitril/valsartan
- beta-blockers, such as metoprolol or carvedilol
- aldosterone antagonists, such as spironolactone or eplerenone
- diuretics or water pills, such as furosemide and bumetanide
To treat orthopnea, a doctor may need to adjust a person's diuretic medication to remove the fluid buildup from the lungs and reduce intracardiac pressures.
Emphysema is a type of lung condition comprising chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This condition damages the air sacs in the lungs and makes the breathing tubes narrower, making it more difficult to breathe.
Smoking causes most cases of emphysema. Passive smoking and poor air quality can also play a role.
People with this condition will usually find it difficult to breathe when carrying out physical activities. In advanced emphysema, people may also experience shortness of breath when sitting or lying down.
The main symptoms of COPD include:
- chronic cough
- shortness of breath while doing everyday activities
- frequent respiratory infections
- blueness of the lips or fingernail beds
- fatigue
- producing a lot of mucus
- wheezing
It is not possible to reverse the lung damage that emphysema causes. However, quitting smoking can stop the damage from getting any worse.
Treatments for COPD tend to focus on preventing further damage and improving the symptoms. They include:
- inhalers that can relax the airways, such as bronchodilators
- inhalers that can reduce airway inflammation and mucus production, such as steroid inhalers
- pulmonary rehabilitation programs, which tend to combine education, exercise training, nutrition advice, and counseling
- supplemental oxygen or oxygen therapy
- lung surgery, which can help improve breathing for some people
- complementary therapies such as yoga, massage, and acupuncture, which may help improve quality of life
People who carry excess weight or have obesity may have difficulty breathing when lying down due to the compressive effects of the weight on their abdomen. Called "pannus," this phenomenon prevents the lungs from inflating fully.
Obesity has links to health conditions including:
Losing weight can help ease orthopnea. The best way to lose weight is to get plenty of exercise and follow a healthful, balanced diet.
To adopt a healthful diet, try eating:
- several servings of fruits and vegetables per day
- whole-grain bread and cereals
- healthful fats from nuts, seeds, and olive oil
- lean protein from poultry, fish, and beans
- limited amounts of red meat
People who follow a healthful diet often have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and some other chronic health conditions.
OSA is a sleep disorder that can cause breathing difficulties while sleeping.
A common sign of OSA is snoring that is interspersed with gasping and choking sounds. People with OSA may also pause their breathing.
Other symptoms of OSA may include restless sleep, sudden body movements, morning headaches, irritability, and memory problems.
Panic attacks and anxiety attacks can come on at any time and be very frightening. Although these episodes do not fit within the typical orthopnea bracket, they can cause shortness of breath when lying down.
People tend to describe these attacks as the abrupt onset of intense fear or discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes.
Symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack might include:
- shortness of breath
- heart palpitations
- sweating
- trembling or shaking
- feelings of choking
- pain or discomfort in the chest
- nausea
- feeling dizzy or lightheaded
- feeling very hot or very cold
- a numbness or tingling sensation called paresthesia
- feelings of unreality or of being detached
- fear of loss of control
- fear of death
There are treatments available for panic disorder and anxiety, including counseling, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Shortness of breath that is not related to strenuous exercise, exposure to extreme temperatures, poor air quality, obesity, or high altitude could be a cause for concern.
Sudden shortness of breath accompanied by chest pain or pressure, fainting, or nausea could be a sign of a more serious medical condition.
If a person suddenly begins experiencing shortness of breath, they should seek medical evaluation.
Orthopnea is the medical term for shortness of breath when lying down. People who experience this condition often have to sleep with their heads propped up on pillows.
Many conditions, including obesity and heart failure, can give rise to orthopnea. Treatments tend to depend on the underlying cause.
Anyone who finds it difficult to breathe because they have obesity may find that the problem eases when they lose weight.
Unexplained shortness of breath or breathing difficulties that are accompanied by chest pain or pressure, fainting, or nausea could be a sign of a more serious medical condition.
Anyone who experiences this should speak to a doctor.

Charles V. Skargon (b. 1900): Purpose & Audience
Often some of my clients (assurance) whose husbands were at sea, would tell me what their men were putting up with when the wind blew. Then to myself I would think "I know all about it". But I never told them I had been through it or that I had experienced all or perhaps more than their men were now doing.
Charles V. Skargon, 'From Boy to Man the Hard Way', p. 232.
For a humble man like Charles V. Skargon, writing an autobiography was not an exercise in projecting the author's ego. He thought of his life at sea as 'a great adventure', (24) but not with himself at the helm. Ships gave him passage and work; transported him through their experiences. They were not directed by Skargon's impulse. Skargon was at the mercy of the tides, social, political, financial and literal, and revelled in the voyage he found himself in from boy to man.
Regenia Gagnier in Social Atoms: Working-Class Autobiography, Subjectivity, and Gender writes an intriguing theory for the process of working-class autobiographers. She states they 'unanimously state that their reasons for writing are functional rather than aesthetic: to record lost experiences for future generations; to raise money; to warn others; to teach others; to relieve or amuse themselves; to understand themselves.' (342) This is true of Skargon as his memoirs are written from an ordinary perspective and address some of these criteria.
From Boy to Man the Hard Way is a reflection on the writer's years working at sea. Skargon's life before and after are mentioned but not at length. His 'great adventure' is the focal point of his life upon reflection, and the passion and love Skargon expresses through his writing during this time gives the reader the feeling he is certainly relieving and amusing himself. This is perhaps best expressed in the recurrent phrase, 'What a life!'
Skargon goes into great depth when describing his experiences and the lifestyle of the mariner, from detailing the features of the various ships he worked on to chronicling the day-to-day jobs and activities of crewmen:
Sixteen seamen seemed such a small number for such a large ship. The victualling department numbered nearly two hundred. The engine room gang numbered about fifty, which was made up of engineers, oilers, firemen, donkey men. They worked three watches of four hours on duty and eight hours off. We, on deck, worked watch and watch, which was four hours on and four hours off, except in the dog watches which was from four o'clock to six o'clock and six to eight p.m.
p. 41.
To go to such lengths to account the specifics of the lifestyle gives the autobiography a didactic nature; 'to teach others'. It is a record of a niche of social history that Skargon endeavoured to produce in reflection. Perhaps one of the factors which motivated Skargon to write was the opinion that there was not enough material on the lives of seamen during and after the First World War. These men were important and honourable to Skargon as is evident in his writing. 'The reason that I have written this long script about lightships is to let whoever might read it know about this service and the men who serve in them.' (188)
Foremost, From Boy to Man the Hard Way is a celebration and veneration of those men Skargon worked alongside. The hazards and hardships that confronted sailors particularly of this period are always made clear throughout the autobiography as well as the ill tidings that befell many of his colleagues and ships he worked on over the years at sea.
On arrival I learned one item of news. It was that my uncle's ship, The Brussels had been captured by several German destroyers in the North Sea and had been taken into a Belgium port which was then held by the Germans. All the crew were made prisoners… After many weeks in a prison the Germans held what they called a trial and they sentenced the Captain to be shot… A few days after this trial the sentence was carried out.
p. 27.
I believe Skargon deemed audience as largely the same as purpose. He wrote his autobiography aged 74, an age at which many look back and think about their past. His time at sea was very important to Skargon and the people around him helped him learn and mature, making a far greater impression than his brief time in school. They helped sculpt him into the man who would one day record their adventures and tribulations. Perhaps Skargon felt he owed it to these people before he passed to address them as an audience, to immortalise them in literature, 'to record [their] lost experiences for future generations,' and offer his respect and gratitude for bringing him up the hard, but the right, way from boy to man. Whoever else would read his memoirs was to be enlightened by these men and too be reverent of their lives, and learn that men who seem ordinary can be extraordinary beneath the surface.

Staying in a private home that has its own staff is often a new experience for our clients. As is travelling to Bali! Here we have listed a few of our most frequently asked questions. If there is anything else you need, please feel free to contact us. We are here to make your holiday easy and stress free.
Yes we will inform you of the best rates and discounts applicable to your stay. We always offer the most competitive market rates. Early Bird Discounts of 15% may be available when booking 150 days in advance at many properties and Last Minute Bookings often enjoy a 10 – 20% discount. For stays of 10 days or more in length many villas can apply a long stay discount as well. We will advise you whenever discounts are available.
Yes minimum night stay requirements to apply. Generally speaking they are 3 nights in low and mid seasons, 5 nights in high season and 7 nights in peak season.
Having a good time and celebration with family is part of a great holiday! However when it comes to entertaining outside guests or hosting a party with extra people who are not within the capacity requirements of the accommodation, permission is required. Many Villas have event policies and extra fees may apply. Please discuss with us what you have in mind.
Generally speaking check in time is 3pm and check out time is 12 noon. Guests schedules are of course accommodated where ever possible and we will communicate with the Villa staff and let you know what is possible. A late check out until 6pm or so is charged at 50% of the day rate as many flights depart Bali in the evening. You can also store your luggage at the Villa for the afternoon and return to meet our driver at the designated time for your departing flight.
Please check if you require a Visa on Arrival. Australian Passport Holders are currently granted a free 30 Day Tourist Visas to Bali, however this may change in the future. Australians can proceed directly to the immigration counter on arrival at the airport.
Some non Indonesian travellers require a tourist visa to stay in Bali. It depends which passport you hold. If so you must purchase a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport in Bali. The current cost is US$35 per person for a 30 day tourist visa, payable in US dollars or Indonesian Rupiah. You can also pay in other common currency, however the airport will decide the exchange rate. Credit Card payment seems to be available only some of the time. When you land at the airport in Bali you need to go the "Visa On Arrival" counter and purchase your tourist Visa. The VOA After purchasing, you then join the line to go through the Immigration counter towards baggage claim.
Please be sure you have a ticket arranged to leave Indonesia at the end of your stay and that your passport has a minimum of 6 months until expiry.
We don't charge any fees to help you plan your holiday. That's right, you've got us to do all the research for you and help you plan your dream escape, and it will not cost you anything extra. In fact, as we have access to privileged rates and promotional offers, your trip is often cheaper than when trawling through the internet yourself.
Bali Family Villas strongly recommends all people to take out appropriate travel insurance to cover themselves in the event of accident, illness or theft. You stay at all properties at your own risk, however of course measures are taken by management to prevent any problems during your stay. Bali Family Villas is a booking agency and under no circumstance can be held responsible for any loss, expense, damage, claim or injury either directly or indirectly due to your stay in a private villa or hotel that we represent. To get a quote for Travel Insurance please see our recommended partner
Each private villa has slightly different set ups but generally the in-house staff do all your grocery shopping and errands and prepare your meals accordingly on request. You will be provided with the details and inclusions of each individual place so you know what to expect. We will also share some local tips of food delivery services which are excellent. If you have some essential items that you would like ready on arrival (milk, bread, cheese, fruit, drinks etc) let us know and we will arrange a pre-arrival shop for you.
Some properties are marketed exclusively to Bali Family Villas and others are available through other travel agents or web sites also. We practice price parity and the rates will be the same no matter where you book the Villa. Bali Family Villas has the most cost effective payment options for Australians in $AU currency and no hidden fees. We pride ourselves on offering complimentary services and equipment to our clients and are here to help along the way. You will get value added services when you book with us.
Of course any travel with children involves risk and Indonesia is not a Western country as many of us are accustomed to. We can only say that as parents we all must follow our own instincts as to what is right and wrong for our own families. In recent years the infrastructure and medical system has vastly improved, however all visitors must take precautions and be respectful of the Islands limitations. We do our best to help families travelling with children safely enjoy their stay. Don't drink the tap water, avoid street food if sensitive, wear sunscreen, hire a pool fence and/or nanny who can swim and be careful with your transport options. Comprehensive Travel insurance is a must too!
We can discuss allergies in advance with the kitchen staff, and have had several guests with nut or egg allergies. It is possible to brief the staff, but we also recommend you supervise food preparation to minimise risk. We can also arrange to purchase new pots and pans (at cost) that can only be used for you. We also have food catering and delivery options we can discuss with you.
There are several ATMs in Bali so withdrawing cash in local IDR currency is easy. However some of them only allow you to withdraw the equivalent of $50 or $100 cash at a time and you are subject to international bank fees each withdrawal. We recommend bringing some Australian Dollar cash with you and using a large money changer at a more favourable exchange. Many fixed price shops and restaurants accept credit card payments, but not pay wave or EFTpos facilities.
A private Villa is an intimate experience where you can totally relax and enjoy your holiday at your own pace. You can request meals and services from in-house staff at times that suit you and enjoy a truly private environment. If it is 'people watching' and a chance to socialise with other holiday makers in communal areas perhaps a hotel would suit you better. Often our clients spend half of their time at a boutique hotel and retreat to a rental villa for the remaining part of their stay. It's your holiday, you choose what appeals to you.
Bali Family Villas will provide complimentary car seats for children for airport transfers. Whenever possible we will also arrange free baby cots and high chairs for your stay. We work with some recommended partner suppliers for nannies and pool fence hire, so we will put you in touch with them during the booking process. Many Villas can also arrange casual babysitting once you have checked in. We tailor the fencing and equipment need to each individual property, so we will help arrange as required depending on which system is best for the pool (for example steel or bamboo). We have baby bouncers, stair gates, bottle sterilIser and toy baskets that we offer our guests for complimentary use whenever possible also. If your Villa doesn't have a bath tub and you are travelling with an infant we we will lend you a plastic baby bath to make life easier. It is not expensive to hire baby carriers, strollers or bed rails. Let us know what you need and we will certainly help where we can to arrange and have the items waiting for you.
*Complimentary Car seats for airport transfers *Complimentary toy baskets & pool toys *Complimentary baby cots & high chairs *Personal advise from parents in the know *Co-ordination of pool fence installation
You can ask our team or your Villa Manager to arrange a car with driver for your stay or for day trips. Taxis are also easily arranged and affordable. Car seats are not required by law, and you may find taxis and hire cars even without seat belts.Scooter hire is also popular. We recommend extreme caution and never ever without a helmut. Public transport as such doesn't really exist. Please ask us if you require transport advise.
As each property is independently run the dates for each Villa do vary. For this reason when you enquire about a property we will send you will receive the details for the properties you are enquiring about. However below is an example guide to seasons that are commonly used.
Low Season 2018:
High Season 2018:
Peak Season 2018:
Low Season 2019:
Mid Season 2019:
High Season 2019:

Different Villas have different cancellation policies and you will be informed at the time of enquiry. Generally speaking your deposit payment or part thereof is non refundable. Below are the two most common scenarios. Your travel insurance policy may also cover any loss, depending on your reasons of cancellation. We always work with the villa owners in these scenarios to establish a fair outcome for our clients.
Policy One: When a 20% deposit is requested.
*if a Guest cancels more than 60 days prior to the beginning of the Rental Period, the cancellation charge will be 20% of the total rental amount.
*if a Guest cancels between 30 – 60 days prior to the beginning of the Rental Period, the cancellation charge will be 50% of the total rental amount.
*if a Guest cancels between 0 – 29 days prior to the beginning of the Rental Period, the cancellation charge will be 100% of the total rental amount.
An administration charge of US$50.00 will apply to each change after a booking has been confirmed. Changes cannot necessarily be accommodated in all cases.
Policy Two: When a 50% deposit is requested.
*if a Guest cancels more than 60 days prior to the beginning of the Rental Period, the cancellation charge will be 50% of the total rental amount.
*if a Guest cancels between 30 – 60 days prior to the beginning of the Rental Period, the cancellation charge will be 100% of the total rental amount.
You can buy most essential (and non essential items) in Bali. We recommend bringing with you Milk Formula if your baby is accustomed to a particular variety. You can buy cheese, yogurt and regular pasteurised milk as well as fresh produce readily but rusks, corn cakes, muesli bars, fruit bars and sugar free toddler snacks are not easy to locate. Nappies can be purchased easily, however we recommend bringing a supply of quality Huggies or similar for night time use as they are more absorbent than the locally available product.
Due to Government taxes Alcohol purchased within Indonesia is up to 50% more expensive than in Australia and there is also a limited selection. If you would like to enjoy the wine, champagne or spirits of your choice during your stay, we recommend bringing a bottle with you from Australia. Visitors to Indonesia are permitted to bring 1 litre of alcohol into the country per adult visitor.
Please let us know if you have questions about any particular item.
Bali Family Villas will arrange for a driver to meet you at the airport and drive you to your accommodation. After you have cleared immigration and collected your bags, look for a sign with your name on it. After you have settled in we will then be in contact to see if you have any questions. At many of our Villas we will also provide a car to take you back to the airport at the end of your stay.
It may be because some of the Villas in our portfolio are Bali Family 'signature villas' so they are only available through our web site. Or it may be because some of the Villas are displayed here under a marketing name that is unique to our listing. We are very selective with the properties we decide to include so if you have any concerns please share them with us and we will try to help. It's important you feel happy with your holiday booking.
Yes safe bottled drinking water will be provided at the Villa. The tap water is not safe to drink. Do not even rinse your tooth brush with it if you can avoid it. It is common for all dishes and cutlery to be washed in tap water at restaurants and Villas, however you can request that your children bottles can be washed in bottled water and sterilized in boiling water. The Villas provide bottled drinking water. Microwaves are not common in Bali as they use a lot of electricity so you may sterilise the old fashion way, by boiling water on the stove or with use of a bottle steriliser.
Linens, bath towels, pool towels and basic toiletries will be provided at the Villa.
Everyone is blown away by the villa and it's going to make the perfect setting for tomorrows Wedding.
The extra touches like toys and high chair for the kids are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your assistance in selecting the villa also.
Thanks too for the extra time given to arrange the many transfers, and appreciate you going the extra steps to make everything go smoothly.

May is one of my favorite months of the year. It might be because my husband and I both celebrate our birthdays today, but it might also have something to do with the weather. The temperature is rising, the flowers are blooming, and the scent of fresh cut grass is always in the air. Spring is my favorite time of the year for working in the yard, grilling in the evening, and devouring books in the hammock.
If you too are ready to devour some good reads in the hammock, may I suggest you take a gander at our most recent additions to the Reading Room.

Hospital philosophy
We base our hospital philosophy on "the needs of the patient come first". Our furry patients are considered children in their owner's eyes. That makes them parents, which in turn makes us pediatricians with a special calling to care for furry children that can't talk or show us where they hurt.
The needs of the patient come first!
The entire staff and doctors share the same mission, and all are focused on the making the patient better. We take personal responsibility for directing patient care over time in partnership with their owners. Exceptional care comes from better client service and client education. Our doctors and staff work to design better ways to treat the patients, therefore providing better medicine.
Patient centered practice
- We are a patient centered practice where same day or next day appointments are offered. Courtesy and patience with clients and their pets are our priorities. An attitude of "We are glad you are here" must be conveyed to each client.
- The only way the needs of the patient can be met is through communication, compassion, teamwork and partnership between the client, staff and doctors.
- Communication with clients is important to determine the needs and treatment of the patient.
- Listening is an important skill. We listen to the client, ask questions, listen to the answers and ask more questions to help us understand the concerns of the client, determine the symptoms of the patient, and determine the course of tests and treatments.
Compassion for end of life care
- Providing compassion and understanding for end of life care and euthanasia. Allowing the client to express their grief and offer them emotional support.
Cost of services
- Cost of medicine and services have always been an issue in veterinary medicine. We are not like human hospitals that can bill insurance for medical care. Our clients must pay up front. We try to work within their budget and explain costs, options, and expected outcome based on the services and products provided.
- All services and treatments must be paid for at the end of the visit. We do not provide payment plans.
Serving our community
We will continue to serve our community, our patients, and our clients by offering excellent preventive care, medical care, surgical care and after hour emergency service available in our area. We pride ourselves on offering gentle loving care and support to our clients and their furry children. Our goals continue to evolve and the basis of all our goals is to exceed their expectations and provided the best care we possibly can.

Smart Options for the 3D Printing Process
3D printing of small parts is a reality already established among technology practitioners, which began with this application. The great advancement of this type of 3D printing is both the increased print area and the improvements in frame strength and print speed. With the use of the sync innovation for 3D, you can expect the best now.
Additive manufacturing technology enables 3D printing of small parts, provided proper care is taken to maintain print quality. Cautions range from worrying about print speed to the final size of the object, as well as nozzle size and print table size. Do you want to know more about the tips to ensure quality in 3D printing of small parts? Keep reading this post.
Tips for Success in Small Part 3D Printing
3D printing of small parts is one of the major uses of additive manufacturing and is responsible for the start of technology. The part can already be created thinking about this type of 3D printing or can be adapted from the specific software for this type of application, and in all cases, it is necessary to study and understand the process as a whole. Taking into account all points of attention for 3D printing in general, in small parts 3D printing there are a few more points of attention to ensure quality and efficiency throughout the process.
Beware of print speed
In 3D printing of small parts, speed is not synonymous with quality. To achieve the desired success in this type of application, you must be aware of the correct speed both in filament extrusion and in moving the extruder nozzle through the printing area. An important point is that slow speeds are also not a direct synonym for higher quality 3D printing of small parts. The lower the speed, the extruder nozzle will stay longer in the same region. This can ensure that the layers are deposited correctly as long as the velocity does not influence the temperature of the region and impact the cooling of the area causing the part to deform.
Make full use of the printing table
This tip is very important for 3D printing of small parts and shows the importance of printing more than one small object at a time on the printing table. The explanation for this tip is integrated with the previous tip when there is only one piece on the printing table the hot nozzle will stay longer over one region, making it difficult for the layers to cool and the material to make the right shape.
If the material is hot for a long time, there is a risk of bubbles and small surface finish failures. By placing more than one piece on the same printing table, the extruder nozzle will travel the print area longer, greatly improving the final finish. You can also print a sacrificial tower, which positioned away from your part, will also help increase the cooling time.
The problem with this tip is the possible loss of material when using the 3D printer to manufacture only one part. Understanding the risks and producing more than one piece on the table can make sure that all the work done is not lost. Understanding the risks and producing more than one piece on the table can make sure that all the work done is not lost.

Long time OpTic Gaming member Ian 'Crimsix' Porter got an opportunity to see what it's like to play against his own team when he faced off against them in the finals of an online tournament.
[ad name="article1″]
The American was teaming up with iLLeY and Cellium for a 3v3 Search and Destroy tournament and the trio managed to progress to the grand finals of the competition.
Unfortunately, waiting for them on the other side of the bracket was none other than his current OpTic teammates – Scump, Dashyy and TJHaLy.
[ad name="article2″]
Game one ended up being an extremely close affair, with OpTic racing into a 2-0 lead thanks to some impressive plays by captain Seth 'Scump' Abner.
The teams traded back and forth throughout the round, with Crimsix and his cohorts winning two round back-to-back to finally take a 5-4 lead, leaving them needing only one round to secure the victory.
[ad name="article3″]
OpTic were able to steal the next round from Porter's squad, leading to a tense Round 11 between Crimsix and his teammates. Cellium was able to pick up both Scump and Dashy in quick succession, leaving Crim to clean up TJHaLy with a cry of: "Let's go baby!"
Scump and his squad were able to win the second game of the series, but in the end fell to Crimsix, Cellium and iLLeY in the third and final map.
While it was fun to see Crimsix go head-to-head against Scump once again, they'll need to get on the same page at CWL Las Vegas, the first competitive event of the 2018/19 Call of Duty season.

Under the freeway in north Seattle may seem like an unlikely place for a spa, but then again, Little Red Day Spa is not your ordinary establishment. Artist Jeff Hengst shares his personal studio with the community by opening the space as a spa for private, reservation session and—a handful of times a month—for public drop-ins. His oil paintings of human forms and other organic shapes line the walls of this creative cave, and telltale signs of inspiration can be seen on the hardwood floor. Though the room is large and with high ceilings the space still feels intimate and it was only during my orientation tour that the spaness of the space became evident.
The woman who gave me the tour was hosting the evening. She was friendly and helpful, yet she warned me repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that sexual behavior, or even "sexual energy", were completely unacceptable at the spa. After the third direct statement I was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable, especially as I had brought my longest and most loyal spa-going companion—my mother—with whom I was beginning to exchange dubious looks. We were hoping for a relaxing evening of chatting and pampering, unfortunately for us, on this evening, it was not to be.
We went for one of the Ladies Night drop-in evenings, which, like all drop in sessions male or female, is clothing optional. There was a free-spirited, bohemian vibe to the event that intensified as more people showed up. Everyone enjoyed taking the time to choose a unique bathrobe from the large wardrobe. Then with the wine and other refreshments they had brought, draped themselves across couches or chairs and soaked in the hot tub.
My mother and I were both fully aware that "clothing optional" actually means, "clothing frowned upon." We have gone to many spas together and some of those have been "skin only". But the fact that a "please sit on your towel" policy did not seem to apply to the furnishings, here, and the fact that hostess felt the need to make numerous and pointed reminders about not being sexually active in the spa, made us a tad uncomfortable. We made a snap decision to cover up and became the proverbial lepers of the evening. We also obviously flustered our hostess, who came over to say that she supported our decision to wear bathing suits, but we would probably be more comfortable if we took them off. I know she was trying to be kind, but it ended up making the whole thing turn slightly nightmarish, especially as the place was filling up with naked women who were gawking at our covered bodies.
Determined to get our money's worth without dropping our vestments, we soaked for a few minutes in the disappointingly tepid tub before moving on to the redeeming part of the evening: a self-administered, clay body-mask and "salt glow". A large blanket was spread on the floor, in the centre of which was a copper bowl filled with locally-sourced clay. We applied the clay sitting on the blanket under the warmth of a heater. The extremely fine grain of the clay gently exfoliated my skin as I applied it and the light application dried quickly under the heat. After I showered and buffed my body with the salt glow, my skin was honestly as soft as it's ever been.
At this point we would have loved to luxuriate a little longer and perhaps get a mini massage on offer for a small fee; however, we were feeling too out of place. We exited as gracefully as we could and resolved to see if the nearby Banya5 or Hothouse were still open.
I can certainly imagine that Little Red Day Spa drop-in times are a great way to relax, and at $15 dollars for the softest skin you are ever likely to get, it is worth every penny. Still, I couldn't help thinking that next time I go I will rent the space out for myself.
Visit Little Red Day Spa's homepage for more information on drop-ins, rates and reservations.

Polar M600!
I have use my Garmin Fenix watches for years, and Fenix 3 is my favorite tracker.(Even with some gps jumps and not 100% steps)
And i wait for my Fenix 5x, and with luck i have it in April.
But…i bought a Polar M600.
Not use Polar for years, but this M600 with Android Wear did look fun! And Wear 2.0 on the way in Q1 = Nice.
After some time with it i have to say it´s a very solid tracker, and gps/HR is very solid. HR is even better than my Fenix 3, gps locks in very quick.
Will use it some more and then compare it to my other trackers. 🙂

Roofing Membranes Made with Elvaloy Kee
- January 01, 2016 -
To make sure your roofing project has the long-lasting performance of DuPont™ Elvaloy® KEE, ask for it by name when preparing your bid package or getting estimates. Check the manufacturer's technical literature for properties, specifications and code approvals of their membranes containing Elvaloy®.
Descriptive terms used in the technical literature referring to Elvaloy® KEE include \"ketone ethylene ester (KEE)\" and \"ethylene interpolymer (EIP).\"
Not All PVC Roofing Contains Elvaloy® KEE
Most roofing membranes made with Elvaloy® KEE are included in a generic class called \"thermoplastic,\" which includes PVC. However, not all PVC roofing contains Elvaloy®. Only PVC with Elvaloy® KEE has the advantage of a solid phase (non-migrating) flexibilizer to prevent embrittlement and assure easy maintenance over the service life of the installation.
Consider The Total Life-Cycle Cost of a Roofing System
The total cost of a roofing system is affected by the materials chosen, installation, maintenance and final disposal requirements over the useful life of the roof. The long-term durability and ease of working with roofing systems based on Elvaloy® KEE makes them very competitive. Efficient installation, clean and easy repairs, and delayed replacement also mean less business disruption, less occupant inconvenience, and less worry for facility managers.
Specifying Elvaloy® KEE also helps assure your roof is installed by experienced, professional contractors who share your value for long-term performance. Good roofing contractors build their reputations by installing and maintaining problem-free roofing, and their skills and experience are your very best assurance of leak-free buildings, now and in the future.
Many manufacturers and installers of roofing systems using Elvaloy® KEE are mentioned in the case histories included on this web site.

Srinagar 26 June
The United States has today designated Mohammad Yusuf alias Syed Salahuddin, chief of indigenous Kashmiri militant organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, as "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" (SDGT).
"Department of State has designated Mohammad Yusuf Shah, also known as (AKA) Syed Salahuddin, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Section 1(b) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, which imposes sanctions on foreign persons who have committed, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States. As a consequence of this designation, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with Salahuddin and all of Salahuddin's property and interests in property subject to United States jurisdiction are blocked," the US Department of State website said.
It also said that Salahuddin "vowed to block any peaceful resolution to the Kashmir conflict, threatened to train more Kashmiri suicide bombers, and vowed to turn the Kashmir valley into a graveyard for Indian forces."
"Under Salahuddin's tenure as senior HM leader, HM has claimed responsibility for several attacks, including the April 2014 explosives attack in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, which injured 17 people", the notification said.
"Today's action notifies the US public and the international community that Mohammad Yusuf Shah, AKA Syed Salahuddin, has committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism. Designations of terrorist individuals and groups expose and isolate organisations and individuals, and result in denial of access to the US financial system. Moreover, designations can assist or complement the law enforcement actions of other nations."

Cook Or Be Cooked By Wii
The Food Network is making a game out of teaching you how to cook.
No, really.
Coming November 3, 2009 is the Food Network's Cook or Be Cooked video game by Namco for the Nintendo Wii ($39.99, preorder at Amazon ). This new cooking video game offering also appears to be a more "professional" version of the Cooking Mama series of games.
That said, I totally agree that it really couldn't get any cheesier than the obvious train derailment that was Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine for Wii. Oh, well. Cookbooks and their hallowed kitchen cookbook shelves...be damned.
In any event, catch a sneak peek at how to: "Flip, chop, slice, and dice your way to the table!" in this nifty (yet also slightly cheesy) Food network Cook Or Be Cooked trailer:

The perfect game for those who love to cook, but are on a diet.

Suppose you're learning to sing or play an instrument, and you'd start playing some piece of music. If you are not experienced enough, the tempo would be unstable, usually getting faster until the end.
This phenomenon is usual, as in this question on Music SE: https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/32405/why-i-tend-to-play-faster-tempo-without-realizing-it
Many correlates it with adrenaline and throbbing heartbeat, but is there an experiment-backed evidence to explain?
(Originally posted in Skeptics SE, but I think this should be the better place.)
