text: Force India: New compounds are a challenge for all the teams 20 February, 2013 Paul di Resta Sahara Force India completed a second day of work in Barcelona as Paul Di Resta remained in the VJM06. Tomorrow Adrian Sutil takes over driving duties before Jules Bianchi gets his chance for the final day on Friday. Day Two Numbers: Chassis: VJM06-03 Laps: 62 laps Mileage: 289 km Fastest lap: 1:23.917 Classification: P8 of 11 Paul Di Resta: "We stopped a little bit early today, but we still got plenty of running under our belt and we're learning more and more about the car as we go along – that's what winter testing is all about. Understanding the tyres is always a priority and we're getting a feel for the degradation rates, which have been quite high, although we have to remember that the track temperatures here are lower than we can expect at most races. We've run most of the tyres apart from the super-softs so far. Learning about the tyres and a new car at the same time is never easy, but we're pretty pleased with how things have gone during the first couple of days." Jakob Andreasen, Chief Race Engineer: "Another routine day of winter testing, starting with the usual aero work this morning, short runs before lunch, and longer runs this afternoon. We had a few small reliability issues with the car, which meant we were a bit short on our lap count for the day, but overall we covered off a lot of test items and tried some different set-up directions with the car. The track conditions have been reasonable with the temperatures in the mid-twenties for most of the day, and we've concentrated on understanding the tyres as much as we can. The new compounds are a challenge for all the teams, but we're getting the information we need to be ready for Melbourne."

It is lightweight and very easy to use. Sparks are fine and you will have no problem to light your fire with it.

When I try to open Global Files in File management Action Window I get a System.NullReferenceException on EPiServer.Web.Hosting.Versioning.VersioningFileSummary..ctor(FileItem file, FileOperations fileOp).
My setup is two servers with EPiServer 5.2.375.133 installed. Both joined to same domain. VPP files are stored on a third server in the same domain. AppDomain user is a domain account with modify permissions on the fileshare. Both servers use the same database. Remote events are configured for cache invalidation.
All worked fine until yesterday. The problem started after I uploaded an image, cropped it and saved it with a new name and then deleted the new cropped file. During the delete operation/request there was some kind of performance related problem within the environment. After the delete operation I always get the exception described above when I try to browse Global Files in File management. The VPP for Global Files is a EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathVersioningProvider with default configuration.
The uploaded file and the cropped file still exist on the fileshare. The filename of the files also exists in the tblItems table, but the pkID is not the same as the guid on the fileshare. When viewing the site in viewmode, images from global files can be viewed.
There seams to be one or two files miss referenced in the VPP. Anyone knows how to fix this? And should this ever happen?
Content is edited
Hi Marthin, were you able to resolve this issue because I am also facing a similar issue?
I have had a simular issue once. It was some files in the VPP that was created, but didn't exists.
I used this code to fix the problem
protected void Button12_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
StartIndexOnItemLit.Text = "";
StringBuilder builder=new StringBuilder();
VirtualPathHandler instance = VirtualPathHandler.Instance;
foreach (var a in VirtualPathHandler.Instance.VirtualPathProviders.Keys)
if (a is VirtualPathUnifiedProvider)
var dir = instance.GetDirectory((a as VirtualPathUnifiedProvider).VirtualPathRoot, true);
foreach (var element in dir.Children)
CheckItem(builder, element);
Awesome! I had the exact same problem with the VersioningFileSummary nullreference. This code helped me resolving this issue, thank you.
you are welcome. Took myself some time to understand why. In my case it was a FileCreate event that throw an error
Good work Anders. This saved me alot of time. Thanks.
Thanks, happy that I could be of help :)
Anders, thanks a lot for sharing this! Saved me a lot of (unnecessary) work! :) Cheers!
Hi Anders,I got a similar error but I wonder if you could explaon some more abput where you use the code you posted?Best regards,Carl
Carl, in my case I added an admin plugin with a button - and then added an event handler for that button's click event to execute Anders' code.
he reason for the inconsistencies in my case was that I was trying to set file properties before I had written data to the file.

A new social phenomenon has emerged in our country known as "live-in-relationship". This new relationship is still rare in our country and is sometimes found in big urban cities, but it is very common in North America and
Europe. When a wife is deserted, in most countries the law provides for maintenance to her by her husband, which is called "alimony". However, earlier there was no law providing for maintenance to a woman who was having a live-in- relationship with a man without being married to him and was then deserted by him. In the , the expression "palimony" was coined which means grant of maintenance to a woman who has lived for a substantial period of time with a man without marrying him, and is then deserted by him. The first decision on palimony was the well-known decision of the United States of America Superior Court in Marvin Vs Marvin. This case related to the famous film actor Lee Marvin, with whom a lady Michelle lived for many years without marrying him and was then deserted by him and she claimed palimony. Subsequently in many decisions of the courts in the California , the concept of palimony has been considered and developed. The US US Supreme Court has not given any decision whether there is a legal right to palimony, but there are several decisions of the courts in various States in the . These courts in the US have given divergent views, some granting palimony, some denying it altogether, and some granting it on certain conditions. Hence in the US , the law is still in a state of evolution on the right to palimony. Although there is no statutory basis for grant of palimony in the US , the courts there which have granted it have granted it on a contractual basis. Some Courts in the US have held that there must be a written or oral agreement between the man and the woman that if they separate the man will give palimony to the woman, while other courts have held that if a man and woman have lived together for a substantially long period without getting married there would be deemed to be an implied or constructive contract that palimony will be given on their separation. A law has now been passed in the year 2010 by the State Legislature of US that there must be a written agreement between the parties to claim palimony. Thus, there are widely divergent views of the courts in the New Jersey regarding the right to palimony. Some States like US Georgia and expressly refuse to recognize palimony agreements. Tennessee
In our country, while enacting the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 the Parliament has taken notice of this new relationship, that is, live-in- relationship. Section 2(a) of the Act states:
"2.(a) "aggrieved person" means any woman who is, or has been, in a domestic relationship with the respondent and who alleges to have been subjected to any act of domestic violence by the respondent."
Section 2(f) states:
"2.(f) "domestic relationship" means a relationship between two persons who live or have, at any point of time, lived together in a shared household, when they are related by consanguinity, marriage or through a relationship in the nature of marriage, adoption or are family members living together as a joint family".
Therefore, the expression "domestic relationship" includes not only the relationship of marriage but also a relationship "in the nature of marriage". Unfortunately, this expression has not been defined in the Act.
Some countries in the world recognize common law marriages. A common law marriage, sometimes called de facto marriage, or informal marriage is recognized in some countries as a marriage though no legally recognized marriage ceremony is performed or civil marriage contract is entered into or the marriage registered in a civil registry. The Supreme Court of
has held that "relationship in the nature of marriage" is akin to a common law marriage. Common law marriages require that although not being formally married: India
(a) The couple must hold themselves out to society as being akin to spouses.
(b) They must be of legal age to marry
(c) They must be otherwise qualified to enter into a legal marriage including being unmarried.
(d) They must have voluntarily, cohabitated and held themselves out to the world as being akin to spouses for a significant period of time.
The Supreme Court of India has held that "relationship in the nature of marriage" under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 must also fulfill the above requirements, and in addition, the parties must have lived together in a "shared household" as defined in Section 2 (s) of the Act. "Shared household" means a household where the person aggrieved lives or at any stage has lived in a domestic relationship either singly or along with the respondent and includes such a household whether owned or tenanted either jointly by the aggrieved person and the respondent or owned or tenanted by either of them in respect of which either the aggrieved person or the respondent or both jointly or singly have any right, title, interest or equity and includes such a household which may belong to the joint family of which the respondent is a member, irrespective of whether the respondent or the aggrieved person has any right, title or interest in the shared household. Merely spending weekends together or a one night stand would not make it a "domestic relationship".
An 'aggrieved person" under the Act can approach the Magistrate under Section 12 for the relief mentioned in Section 12 (2). Under Section 20 (1) (d) the Magistrate can grant maintenance while disposing of the application under Section 12(1). Section 26(1) provides that the relief mentioned in Section 20 may also be sought in any legal proceeding, before a civil court, family court or a criminal court. Thus, a woman who can prove that she has been in a live- in -relationship with a man as explained above can claim maintenance under the Act.
The Supreme Court of India has said: "In feudal society sexual relationship between man and woman outside marriage was totally taboo and regarded with disgust and horror, as depicted in Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina, Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary and the novels of the great Bengali writer Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya. However, Indian society is changing and this change has been reflected and recognized by Parliament by enacting the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005".

We had our second daughter in January and one of the worst things is getting up in the cold for that night feed. Not only getting up but traipsing down stairs to the cold kitchen to warm the bottle. It's not fun!
I found the Tommee Tippee Bottle Warmer to be a life saver in the middle of the night as did my husband. We kept the warmer in our bedroom along with a tub of milk ready to make the bottles up as and when she needed them. We did find we had to keep the warmer on the small chest of drawers as the lead for the plug is incredibly short and in most places it just wouldn't stretch to the plug socket.
Tommee Tippee claims the bottle warmer warms within 4 minutes which I found it did. It really heated the bottle up well. And it was easy to check the bottle periodically to make sure it wasn't getting too hot as the last thing you want to do us try and cool it down!
The warmer is very compact and easy to store. It is white and grey which is the typical neutral colours of this range. It has Tommee Tippee written on the front in the well known font.
When we first got this bottle warmer we were actually using Avent bottles rather than Tommee Tippee ones and they fitted in perfectly (we switched to Tommee Tippee ones recently) so I would think you could use most brands of bottle with this warmer.
It is easy to use. You simply pour cold water into the well and place the bottle in the water (remember not to overfill with water!) and switch it on. There is a dial on the front which goes 1,2,3 depending on the level go heat you want. You can hear the warmer heating up as it makes a slight hiss sound. You do need to keep it away from children as the water does get very hot.
its easy to clean and because it is compact it is easy to store away.
My daughter is 8 months old now and hasn't had night feeds since she was three months so I haven't used it since but for £15 I think it was a bargain and fully served it's purpose on those cold nights. My only real complaint is the plug and lead as they really do need to be longer as it is very short and makes it problematic finding some where just the right height to keep it.
I highly recommend it to parents as it is a convenient little machine. Let's be honest, you want everything to be as convenient as possible in those early months! it does exactly what it says it will do in the box. It is easy to use and we have ours stored away in the cupboard for when we decide baby number three will make an appearance!
The bottle warmer is widely available from Amazon, Kiddicare and Mothercare to name a few.
This bottle warmer claims to take only 4 minutes to heat a bottle. I don't know about everyone else but to me 4 minutes is still quite a lot of time, especially if you have a hungry and impatient child. I didn't really tend to use this much because when my baby was 6 weeks old I purchased the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep machine which makes the bottle from scratch to the perfect temperature in just 2 minutes. However, for the odd times I did use it, it would be quicker to have water boiled in a flask (we usually do in case our electricity ever cuts off) and just heat it in a metal teapot in boiling hot water. I didn't even realise until recently that baby food could be heated in this but again the teapot method would still be a lot quicker. I don't really rate this product at all.
I bought the tommee tippee bottle warmer just before my baby was born and was at a sale price so thought it was a good purchase. I'd already decided to use tommee tippee bottles so it seemed the perfect option for warming them up for my baby.
The bottle warmer is quite compact in size and it's colours match the whole of the tippee range in white and grey. As I have the steriliser too they look ok together in the kitchen. There is a setting on the side of the warmer to adjust the temperature to whatever you want (3 settings in total) and an orange light that indicates when the bottle warmer is heating/boiling up which switches off as soon as it's boiled. The plug cable is short in my opinion. We usually have the warmer on a higher setting and it does warm the water fairly quickly for the temperature we need, although when you have a hungry baby waiting for food it does seem to take far longer to heat up than it actually does in reality!
The thing I don't like about it, and quite honestly the bit I think is dangerous, is that the water consistently (I'd say 8 to 9 times out of 10) splurts out of the warmer, over the sides and onto the kitchen worktop as it boils and especially as it reaches boiling. The water has caught my hand a few times now as I've gone to remove the bottle out. It is also awkward to remove the bottle from the warmer when it's finished, I have to pick the bottle out by the top and I find I have to have a towel on the worktop next to the warmer that I place the bottle onto as soon as I can do and wipe it down. It doesn't help that sometimes the bottle tops come off as you're taking the bottle out (but this to me is a design fault of the bottles, not the warmer directly)
I'm quite lucky as my baby isn't keen on her milk being warmed very much so I don't need to leave the warmer on for very long before it's at the temperature that she likes so it doesn't take long for us. But, if she was a baby who likes their milk a little warmer, I think I'd have got a bit tired of using this warmer as I'd have had to wait a fair while longer for the bottle to warm. With a hungry baby, you need that bottle ready as soon as possible.
The warmer does do the job it's designed to do, but has a few big floors that need to be sorted out, especially the water spilling over the sides.
I bought this Item shortly after having my little girl, as you do I was looking for baby things that might make things easier and faster, for looking after a baby. It cost me around £15, but I thought it's worth it if it helps.
Its designed to plug into the mains power supply, you can only switch it on and off at the mains plug, the only dial on the product is the thermostat control, for what temperature you want and has a light to show that its switched on. All you have to do is fill it up with cold water to the line where it states, and wait. You have to keep checking the milk temperature, in case it goes to hot. Until you know where to have the thermostat set to.
Unfortunately I gave up after 2 tries, as I make the bottles of milk up in advance and need to heat them up as fast as I can, when newborn especially, they usually decide they want milk and that's it they won't be quiet until they have it. I found it was very slow at heating up, was nowhere near as fast or hot as a kettle, it took around 10 - 15 minutes to heat up the milk, where as it takes up to 5 minutes using kettle water. Also it's a lot of messing around on the first few goes you need to learn what temperature setting to put the thermostat up to, but the lower the temperature the longer it will take to heat up.
It maybe useful if your baby is fussy with the temperature of the milk as it can keep the milk a certain temperature for as long as you want, but I found it easier keeping the milk in the jug of water or bottle bag, it keeps the chill off the milk, for as long as I needed as you can't use after 2 hours anyway. So this product wasn't made for me.
The Tommee Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer is something my husband and I picked up whilst I was pregnant, so we could warm up expressed breast milk and when we moved on to follow on milk at six months, warm that up too. I have to say that on reflection we didn't use it anywhere near as much as we expected to and really it wasn't for us that essential a buy.
The price was right; we bought it in the sales for £10 from Mothercare, so it certainly didn't break the bank. The bottle warmer is a very simple design in white and grey with a white flex and plug, and it has three heat settings, 1 being the coolest up to three the hottest. Basically it works like a little kettle, you put your water in, pop the bottle in and switch it on, after 5 minutes your bottle is warm and ready to use. It's supposed to be safer than using a microwave which is not recommended as you get hot spots.
For us though the whole process was just way too slow. The expressed breast milk was kept in the fridge in storage bags, and used when my husband was looking after her, or my mum or inlaws. But the breast milk is so cold that even after 10 minutes on setting three the milk was only just tepid. You need to leave it in there a good 15 minutes from cold to get it to a drinkable temperature, and my daughter liked it warm. Also we found that the bottles could sometimes leak around the ring slightly (Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles), and make the water go cloudy, meaning the entire bottle warmer would need to be cleaned out otherwise it would smell - basically what was supposed to be a time saving device has actually meant my daughter was screaming for a bottle for 15 minutes and we ended up with something to clean!
In effect, it's a kettle, so really it's just as easy to boil the kettle and half fill up a pyrex jug and warm the milk that way. I don't really think that for me this worked, and though I don't feel hard done by at the tenner it cost, I can't really recommend it based on my experiences with it. Once my daughter got to six months we made her follow on milk with boiled water so it was already warm and there was no need to use the bottle warmer. (And you can have a brew as well!!)
It is in the loft, and I don't know if it will be unearthed for baby no2... so it's 2 stars out of five from me, a good idea, but flawed, it's too slow!
We got the Tommee Tippee electric bottle warmer as part of a feeding set. We wouldn't have chosen to purchase one ourselves but since it was in the set, we thought we'd give it a go. We recently had a baby boy and ended up having to breastfeed him. We thought this would be perfect as we planned to make up bottles and store in fridge then rewarm using this warmer. This didn't work out as well as promised.
To use the warmer, you take your bottle (this can accept most sizes of bottles, but it seems to work best with the Tommee Tippee bottles for obvious reasons) and fill the warmer with water up to the height of the milk in the bottle. The warmer has a control dial with 3 settings, the highest warms the bottle while the other 2 keep it at a constant temperature. The instructions state it can heat a 150ml bottle from room temperature to warm in around 4 minutes.
We used this religiously for the first few weeks as I wasn't keen on heating the bottles in the microwave due to hot spots being created. At first this seemed to work well as my son was happy with room temperature milk and was on small amounts of milk, so we only had to take the chill off the bottle for him to be happy. This would only take about 2-3 minutes. Obviously with a crying hungry baby, the quicker the feed is ready, the better! It was ideal for night as well, as we could make up the feeds and heat them up when needed, saving us several minutes, meaning the baby wasn't too disturbed and would go back to sleep easily.
As he started getting bigger and taking bigger feeds, we found it was taking longer and longer to heat up the bottle and the inconvience was growing. It would sometimes take up to around 10 minutes and the milk hadn't even reached room temperature. Waiting longer for the bottle meant the baby was getting more distressed and during the night this meant he was less likely to settle afterwards. In the end, we decided enough was enough and tried warming in the microwave. this turned out just as good if not better as 30 seconds and it was done. the warmer is now packed up and taking up space in the back of a cupboard.
I wouldn't recommend this bottle warmer. I found for the expensive of it, you would be better using the microwave, or if you don't like that, a jug of hot water will do the same job for free! I'm glad we didn't waste money on this, there are much more useful things to spend money on with a baby.
This product does exactly the job it's designed for. It warms a bottle. It comes with instructions that make no sense what so ever. Apparently the number settings will warm to a desired temperature and then auto turn off. This feature certainly didn't work for me. The low setting took too long to arm the bottle and the higher settings warm the bottle too much or too quickly so by the time I came back to it the bottle was too hot to serve.
I found that if I didn't watch it like a hawk then the bottle became too hot and had to be cooled before given to my baby. Not much good when you have crying baby on your hands. I also noticed that if you fill it by more than an inch or so when the water boils it all bubbles over cause the surface to become soaked with water.
I must say my biggest warning about this product is how easily can you burn yourself when using it. Besides the boiling hot water that it spits everywhere (ouch!) it produces a lot of steam. This means that when you attempt to remove the bottle from it you get your fingers burnt. The taller bottles aren't so difficult to retrieve but the smaller size can be very tricky.
The product is easy and quick to clean and descale meaning you can very easily restore to its original condition to obtain the best results possible.
For me it wasn't a great buy and you could achieve the same result by using a bowl of boiled water to be honest It does what it's supposed to but it makes a mess in the process.
My last few reviews have been covering the baby items we bought when we discovered we were going to be parents for the first time and since the arrival of our son a couple of weeks ago we've now had the opportunity to try out the things we bought. The subject of this review, Tommee Tippee's bottle warmer has been a much-used item that has more than proven itself to have been a worthwhile purchase and as we're bottle feeding our newborn it's certainly been put through its paces with it being used at least 6 times a day.
The bottle warmer's simple design makes this really easy to use, the body of the warmer has a 3 stage dial which controls the temperature of the water and an illuminating light which acts as a visual indicator telling you when the water has heated to the correct temperature for warming up the contents of a nursing bottle. You are supplied with a handy reference book that lists the recommended warming times for different sized bottles and amounts of formula and it's simply a case of adding cold water from the tap into the bowl of the warmer, setting the dial at whatever level you want, waiting for the light to go out and adding your bottle to the water. It doesn't have a timer built in to the machine which I think is a bit of a shame as that would have made for a handy addition so you will need to keep an eye on either a watch or clock though we use a digital timer as I have one already in my kitchen for my cooker which only cost a couple of quid from Asda which makes the timings a lot easier for us.
It doesn't take too long to heat up the water you add, a couple of minutes maybe although I would add here that there's no 'maximum' mark on the interior of the bowl and you are instructed to leave at least 10ml of space from the top. Obviously the amount of water you add will be determined by how heavy your bottle is as there is water displacement so there is a a bit of trial and error in getting the right amount although once you've figured it out you'll know for the next bottle and other than the potential annoyance of spilling water over your worktops it really is as simple as that to use. TT claim that it's suitable for use with any bottle, we've had Tommee Tippee's and Dr Brown's in mine and it's held them both nicely although I do suspect that it has been made more for their own bottles than their rivals but haven't tried other makes so can't say for certain. If you own bottles from other manufacturers then I wouldn't bank on this one holding them so I would suggest either trying one before buying or select something else just to be on the safe side, our 'closer to nature' bottles fit perfectly though so if you do have TT bottles then this would be the obvious choice of warmer.
I like the warmers shape, it has rounded edges and sits firmly on my kitchen counter. It's not terribly heavy but has a decent enough weight to make it sturdy and the plastic construction feels well made and durable. The warmer comes attached to a mains cable that is of good length so it doesn't have to be sat too near to a plug socket and whilst I do think that it's white colour could become a bit grubby looking over time it's easy enough just to wipe over to remove any water marks that may form on the outside walls. Obviously it should be kept out of children's reach, the water does get hot when it's in use and you do need to be careful when removing a bottle as that gets hot too, it doesn't boil the water it holds but care should be given when using it and do remember to turn it off at the wall as there's no on/off switch on the warmer itself (other than the dial starting at '0') either which again is a shame as it would have made it slightly better than it actually is.
For the amount it costs to buy (around £15.00 - £20.00 depending on where you purchase it from) I do think it represents decent value for money, it's certainly a lot safer than using boiling water in a jug although that would be a more inexpensive option so I suppose it comes down to a families budget if they think it's a worthwhile purchase. For us being new parents and going a bit overboard with the things we bought it is a useful item that is used multiple times every day although it could have had a few extra features that would have made it slightly better in my opinion. The lack of an on/off switch and an inbuilt timer prevents me from awarding a five star rating here although its something I would recommend to other parents, it's definitely a useful item for warming bottles and even food jars when you get to the weaning stage and all in all I do like its simple, no-nonsense design.
Widely available both online and on the high street and from a recognised and respected name the Tommee Tippee electric bottle warmer gets a very good four star rating from me. Thanks for reading my review.
When you have your first baby you go out and seem to buy everything baby related, it is only when you actually start using them that you begin to see what is actually useful and what's not. Unfortunately this bottle warmer fell into the not useful category!
We bought it on a whim, I had seen it and thought what a great idea something to warm my babies bottles up when his hungry! It was around £15 which I have to admit isn't a bad price, especially as it was Tommee Tippee and this is a well known baby brand. We also had already bought Tommee Tippee bottles and so thought it was best to get the right warmer for it so it would work best.
It is quite a small little thing and looks quite discreet on your kitchen side which I liked. It is mainly white with a small dial on the front. It is made from a sort of plastic and is very easy to keep clean with a quick wipe over.
To use it you simply pop your bottle in the hole in the container and then pour some water in remembering to leave a slight gap at the top. Switch it on and turn the dial to setting three and then there you go you just have to wait...and wait you do. The bottle warmer first has to warm the water in the container and then this hot water warms your bottle up. It used to take around 10 minutes for me to get my babies bottles to the right temperature! And I soon realised I had a kettle in the kitchen which did the same job. Simply boil kettle, pour water in bowl, stand bottle in bowl. And that did it twice as quick.
As soon as I realised this the bottle warmer was made redundant and has since sat in the kitchen cupboard.
Overall its a good idea but it just doesn't work. I would save your pennies as you really don't need this!
As is probably obvious from my multiple reviews of anything Tommee Tippee when my daughter was a baby we had every gadget going with this brand stamped on it, and this bottle warmer was another one of the gifts we were lucky to receive!
- The product -
It is a little white machine which is ideal as a way of heating milk in a bottle and also pots of food. (Can't be putting it in the microwave now, hot spots and all that jazz! Not good for baby!) It is able to fit the wider and rounder Tommee Tippee back to nature bottles comfortably so has a good circumference to it. It has a cable of about a metre long to plug into a socket to use the appliance.
- How to use -
Instructions are simple (according to the box!) and are to make life easier when making baby bottles. To begin with, you fill the bottle warmer (as it is named although can be used for other purposes) with cold water 10mm below the rim, so when the bottle is immersed the water does not overflow out of the appliance. Then there are different settings depending on what and how much is being warmed. For example a 150ml back to nature sized bottle of milk from room temperature should be left for 4 minutes whereas from the fridge it should be done for 5 minutes. (By the way the warmer should be on the MIN setting when timing it in the warmer.) By reading the manual it will be easy to adapt the settings depending on how much milk is being warmed and where it has been stored. It has a knob to adjust the temperature if just wanting to keep the milk warm, or to actually heat it from cold.
- Price -
I see today the RRP is £21.99 on the Tommee Tippee website, but amazon have it at a little bargain price of £15.98. I think when we got ours a few years ago it was around a tenner, but I'm not sure where the person who gave it to us as a gift acquired it from!
- My Opinion -
Whilst this is a fantastic invention, it still has it's downsides. It is an amazing concept from Tommee Tippee as warming bottles as any mother will say can be a nightmare. We all know the quickest way would be in the microwave but this is just not feasible as it doesn't actually warm the milk/food properly but more heats up the particles inside and also causes hot spots which will scald poor baby which none of us want happening! So, the next old school way is heating it up in a pan of boiling water on the fire/hob and let it heat up that way. This is also a long drawn out process! So I was glad for this gift, but have to say that 4 minutes to heat up a bottle when you have a screaming baby still feels like a lifetime!
Also, as fancy and ideal as this product may come across it is in no way perfect. The recommendations of time according to how much milk is being warmed and if it was in the fridge or not, really is just a guideline and it is of course imperative to do the usual test of pouring a few drops on the wrist to check the temperature is safe enough for baby to consume. For the first time, I followed the instructions to the T and left the bottle for 3 minutes and as I tested it before giving my daughter the milk I thought it was far too hot! Of course there are so many relative factors like how much water you put in the bottle warmer to begin with (lets be frank, I am not exactly going to measure that I put enough water in that it is 10mm below the rim, I just estimate with my eyeline!) which will determine the heat of the milk but nonetheless still exercise some caution on relying on this product too heavily when warming food/milk.
Lastly my only gripe was that this bottle warmer really is designed for the back to nature bottles to be placed inside and not much else (although the website of course advertises it fits most bottle sizes). I was using the back to nature bottles predominantly in the beginning stages of her life but once my daughter got to 8/9 months and could hold the bottle herself we moved up to the larger, slimmer Tommee Tippee standard neck bottles which did not sit well in this bottle warmer and so it was inefficient to warm the milk. This then rendered it particularly useless as I generally made my daughter's meals from scratch and was a rare occasion that I did end up using this appliance to warm food in it to be quite frank. Also, I found when I did heat food it was a million times easier to just heat it up quickly in a saucepan on the hob rather than go through the rigmarole of putting it in a container, and putting the container in a heating device which would just take longer to be honest.
Overall, this is a good bottle warmer, and going back in time I probably would use it again I just wish it could fit bigger bottles in! I would recommend it to those who are having a baby and want something to heat bottles with little fuss/mess. It isn't too expensive so go put it on your baby shower list and get it for free :)
I couldn't be without my Tommee Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer. It makes heating up bottles of milk and water very easy, which is just what you need as a busy mum.
At the same time though it is not without its faults.
I purchased this particular bottle warmer because it is made by Tommee Tippee which is a well-known and respected brand in the baby product world.
It is small and unobtrusive in the kitchen and appealing to the eye anyway, coming in a nice clean white with just a small grey dial on the front. It can simply be plugged in ready to use when ever you need it. It does not have any fiddly separate parts to deal with and clean.
To use it you put the bottle you wish to heat into the circular container, which is the bottle warmer, before filling the container carefully with water, leaving about an inch to spare at the top so the bottle is now sitting in water.
You then need to switch the appliance on at the wall and turn the dial on the front of the warmer all the way round to setting three. The time the milk or water then takes to heat depends on the size of the bottle. A smaller bottle of 150ml takes five minutes and a larger bottle of 240ml takes nine minutes. I have discovered that it does not matter how full either of these bottles is, the time still remains the same for each size as it is the size of the bottle not how full it is which determines how long it takes to heat up.
It was this particular point which I was not totally clear on when first using the bottle warmer as I was not sure if when using a large bottle which was only half full whether it would take just five minutes for example.
The instructions are quite clear with a table showing what size bottles take which time to heat up, but because Tommee Tippee instructions come in so many different languages the whole process of reading and understanding them can prove more complex. But as with a lot of baby products once you have used them a few times you wonder how it ever seemed complex.
The main criticism I would have with this bottle warmer is it does not have an inbuilt timer. This means you cannot go away and leave the milk warming without setting your own stopwatch. I tend to use my mobile phone now to time how long the milk has been heating. There is no need to panic if you let the milk heat a minute or so longer than it should but it would have been useful if there had been a timer on the warmer and even a light or beeping noise to alert the user when the milk is done as you always have to have one eye on the clock.
Otherwise, the bottle warmer is very hard wearing. Mine has been in constant use for the last 11 months and it has not had any problems.
The warmer can also be used to heat up food jars but I have not personally tried this out and milk can be left to stand in the hot water to hold its temperature once the milk is heated.
As a note of advice however, the milk is heated to a temperature hotter than drinking temperature for a baby so will need to be left to stand for a good five minutes first. This bottle warmer is certainly a must-have item and at a price of around £15 to £20 it is highly affordable in relation to its usefulness.
Tommie Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer.
When my grandson was born my daughter was unable to breast feed for long and he had to be put on a bottle, this meant having to buy a bottle warmer from Mothercare and it cost £7.99 for a Tommie Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer which was the same brand as the close to nature bottles we had already bought and a reasonable price to pay.
The bottle warmer comes in a silver cardboard box and has the picture of the bottle warmer on the front, it also has a cute little baby being held by it's mother on the side of the box and has a good instruction leaflet inside to follow before using it.
The bottle warmer isn't to big and clumsy and is about eight inches high maybe less but just large enough to hold a 250 ml babies bottle or a jar of baby food as it is a food warmer too. The unit is white with a hollow place where the bottle fits in and it has a grey dial on the front with the numbers 0-3 which can be turned to adjust the heat of the bottle or food you are warming up.
You can use this to heat up breast milk too if you are expressing the milk and it has a warming time of four minutes for a bottle or jar of food. It heats the baby milk up to a temperature of 20 degrees centigrade which is about an average room temperature, so it doesn't boil the milk just heats it up
The first time I used this unit I had to stand and watch it as my children were born over thirty years ago the method of standing a bottle in a bowl of warm water to heat it up then testing it on your wrist seemed very old fashioned all of a sudden.
The unit heats the milk adequately but always test it on the back of the wrist as you never know if it's a little hot for a new baby to drink. Even though it times the heat of the milk nicely I still like to test the temperature the old fashioned way. I have my grandson once a week and keep him over night as I like to help my daughter get a good nights sleep and also want to bond with the baby, so this unit comes with him every time he comes to stay and is used at every feed.
I have found this bottle warmer to be very helpful in the middle of the night feeding time as he wakes slowly for his feeds and you can hear him wriggling and making little noises in his sleep before he wakes, this is the time I pop the bottle in the warmer as by the time it is heated, my grandson has usually opened his eyes and began to grumble a little. Then the feed is waiting for him instead of him waiting for his feed.
This bottle warmer has given us the ability to get a good routine going. We make up the bottles during the day and then again for the night time feeds, keep them in the fridge and warm them with the bottle warmer when needed.
This is suitable for breast milk, formula milk and baby food when they are old enough to eat it. I think for the price it is a bargain as it's a very useful part of the feeding routine for the baby.
It has won the Mother and baby awards for best bottle warmer and they also have a web site if you need any information on the product or other baby products they have, you can go to www.tommieetippee.com to have a look if you are interested.
When we bought this at mothercare we got a seven day money back guarantee but also got a guarantee for a year when you send off the form to tommiee tippee. So far it has been used daily and nightly every three hours or less for the feeds and now my grandson is seven weeks old and is hasn't gone wrong at all it looks like it's going to be a good handy baby product that I will be happy to recommend to you if your bottle feeding your baby.
10 out of 10 for this one.
If you make up milk bottles before you need them and store them in the fridge they are cold and need warming up. I know some parents use the microwave but I have always been worried about hotspots so if your baby is fussy like ours then you will need a bottle warmer. We chose the Tommee Tippee one because we had them type of bottles.
It heats up the milk to a warm temperature, it has 3 settings, setting 1 is once it is warmed you can keep it warm on this setting if you have a small amount of milk, setting 2 is for a slightly larger amount and keeps it warm, setting 3 is for heating up the milk from cold for any amount of milk depending on how much you have the longer it takes. Once it is at the highest temperature the light will go off in my experience 8oz needs the light to go on and off twice until warm I haven't timed it but I would judge about 4 minutes.
With this type of warmer because it is a branded one then it is pacifically for the Tommee Tippee bottles thinking I was going to stick with them forever but I have tried putting others in and it warms them up just as well, but need to be careful with the how much water you put in because it varies.
If I needed to buy a new one then I would probably try one that wasn't a brand so it didn't have the shape of a particular bottle and the price of it was about £20 when we bought it and we did look around for the best price but they seem to be all around the same. This product does the job you want it to do and never had any problems with it very reliable.
When we got bought this item, we actually thought it would be a waste of time and that it was a bit gimmiky and wouldnt get much use. How wrong we were.
This bottle warmer was fantastic. I was unable to breastfeed so we used it from the birth of my son up until about a month ago (as he decided he didnt want warm milk any more.)
All we used to go was make up a bottle, sterilse it, put cool boiled water in it then put it in the warmer at number 1. We would then just leave it in there until it was needed and it made quick work preparing a bottle.
There are different heat settings 1-3. We found that a couple of minutes on no. 3 would heat up a bottle from being cold. We used to take ours up to bed with us to prevent us from having to go downstairs in the middle of the night to do night feeds.
The bottle warmer was easy to use and clean.
Would definately recommend.
I first bought this bottle warmer with the thought that i would use it for the night time feeds. As I found that having to get up, boil the kettle, make up the bottle then put in a jug of cold water was taking far too long when my baby was crying upstairs desperate for a feed, I decided I would make up a few bottles in the evening and put in the fridge and heat up during the night in the bottle warmer. When my baby was on small feeds like 60ml it was very useful as the bottles were warming up within a matter of a couple of minutes and it was a lot quicker, but I did find that as the feeds were increasing in size the bottles were taking a lot longer to heat up and i was having to shake to bottle and put it back in as the outside was warm but the inside still cold, it got to the point where it was quicker to do it the old way boiling the kettle! I think it is a good product which does what it says but I found I only use of it for a couple of weeks and wondered if maybe just heating it up in some boiling water would have done the same!

Veteran corporate and personal chef Dana Patterson has helmed kitchens across the country. His fingerprints can still be found on the menu at several House of Blues locations he helped open (including Myrtle Beach), where his dishes continue to generate royalties. His list of clients range from Al and Tipper Gore to rocker Gene Simmons to basketball great Dominique Wilkins. And most recently, he can be found serving homestyle cuisine sporting a serious updo at Ruby's Southern Cuisine at 1131 N. Atlantic Ave. in Southport.
Patterson said the move to Brunswick County was spurred by a transfer in his wife's job with Duke Energy, and that combined with the vacant space formerly occupied by Southport Southern Cuisine was all the nudge he needed to take a stab at opening his first restaurant. The certified master chef, a distinction bestowed by the American Culinary Federation, said his specialty is Southern Italian fare, but that Ruby's features a more familiar flavor. Opening in late July, Patterson described the restaurant as "Southern food fused with different ethnicities," adding, "it's fine dining appeal with a good price point."
Patterson said the eatery is named in honor of his grandmother Ruby, who schooled him in the kitchen as a young boy. But is food is a creative departure form comfort fare. Look for Plum Pulled Pork paired with a spicy Chinese-style barbecue sauce. His macaroni and cheese features gouda, cheddar and a secret third variety that he says has kept curious customers guessing. Patterson eschews the ubiquitous biscuits in favor of an airy yeasted bread he calls Sister Rolls, which stand in for their quick-baking cousins at breakfast.
Ruby's Southern Cuisine is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m to 7 p.m., and an updated Facebook page is coming soon.
The restaurant is located on the back side of N. Howe St. between Stewart Ave. and East 11th St. For more questions, call (910) 454-8007.

text: Former Virginia Governor Wilder Abandons Obama Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 4 Nov 2012 post a comment Former Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder, a Democrat who supported Barack Obama in 2008, has essentially abandoned him in 2012 by failing to endorse him this time around. Indeed, a careful reading of his high praise for Mitt Romney and tough criticism of Obama suggests that Wilder has all but endorsed Obama's Republican rival this election. The news of Wilder's non-endorsement is huge in the key swing state of Virginia, where polls already show Romney surging into a slight, but reliable lead. As the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported on Sunday: Former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, who backed Democrat Barack Obama for president in 2008, did not endorse Obama or Republican Mitt Romney in an opinion column released days before the election. "I have campaigned for and supported the president in the past and many people now want to discuss his job performance with me," Wilder writes in a column for Reuters. "They often note that Obama ran as a moderate — and that is the man they threw their support behind in 2008. But some look back and say that he has governed as a left-of-center liberal who did not keep the focus squarely on jobs and economic recovery. "Is that group of independent-minded voters enough to swing Virginia's 13 electoral votes away from Obama on Tuesday? The race is so close, we will have to wait until November 6 for a definitive answer. But for a state Obama may need to win, that uncertainty after almost four years on the job cannot be a great comfort to his campaign operatives." Wilder does not expressly back Romney, but he says the Republican has met the test to be president. "The Republicans endured a bad nominating process. Yet in the end, they seem to have chosen a credible candidate that many Virginians tell me they would feel fairly comfortable with in the Oval Office. "Democrats counted on using ad hominem attacks to make Romney seem too unworthy and too unsteady to be the country's chief executive because of the rough nominating process. But that has not been 100 percent effective. Will it be effective enough? We'll find out on Tuesday." Wilder, who served as governor from 1990-94 and as mayor of Richmond from 2005-09 has a long history of breaking with fellow Democrats. The first African-American governor of a southern state since Reconstruction, Wilder is highly respected by Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike throughout all geographical areas of Virginia.

Falling Star: Martin Lawrence
Career Pinnacle: The star of Fox's Martin and former host of HBO's Def Comedy Jam, Lawrence has been on the verge of becoming the most successful black comedian since Eddie Murphy.
His Misstep: While hosting Saturday Night Live on Feb. 19, Lawrence delivered a crass, scatological monologue that offended viewers and angered the NBC brass. As a result, the network canceled Lawrence's March 9 appearance on The Tonight Show and banned the comedian from all NBC shows.
Perceived Problem: Not keeping his word. ''He backstabbed us,'' says SNL cast member Phil Hartman, who claims Lawrence reneged on an agreement to tone down his act. According to Martin co-executive producer John Bowman, however, Lawrence had delivered a nearly identical monologue at the dress rehearsal and was told to remove obscenities but not to change the material.
Next Step: Understanding why it happened. ''I think he brought his Def Jam personality to network TV,'' says Bowman, ''and this scared the hell out of them.''
Advice: Though his Fox contract extends through 1997, Lawrence has been trying to distance himself from Martin's hip-hop-happy image, and the bad press could work in his favor. Even company man Jay Leno who met with NBC executives last week to plead Lawrence's case believes the stand-up shouldn't have a tough time turning the tide of public opinion. ''All the rules have changed,'' says Leno. ''When Roseanne sang the national anthem in 1990 and George Bush said something negative (about her), people said, 'Her career is through.' And now she's stronger than ever. This won't hurt.''

Not only is this structure called 'home' to one of television's biggest stars– Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, but it is a sustainable and environmentally conscious one as well. The "3 Palms" home was constructed with recycling and LEED accreditation in mind.
Turturro Design Studio created this 2,450 square foot residence with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms to be a net zero property. The construction included the use of photovoltaic solar panels, sustainably harvested wood and high performance windows and doors. Cranston and his design/build team are now heading to achieve dual certifications under the Passive House standards– which is held of the highest regard in energy conserving homes around the country.

Bad SmartLipo.. can this be fixed?
1 Attachment(s)
I had Smartlipo done over a year ago, and the results aren't what I expected. I'm only 20 years old, so the idea of living with these results for the rest of my life is horrible; I can't even wear normal bathing suit bottoms. Can this be fixed? Is there a rough estimate of how much this would cost?
Hello! I am sorry for your situation. Its said tha fat grafting is the best option to correct bad results of a bad liposuction! The cost for fat grafting in hip/butt varies according to several factors but it would be about $6000! But i have to underline that fat grafting is a bit tricky operation so you have to find a certified doctor with clean record who is specialized in this type of operation!
. It is important that the surgeon be aware of the limits of what can be taken away and what should not be because it can result to an unsightly abdomen if too much is taken away. The right exercise program and correct diet are also important factors before a tummy tuck because these are the basis of how long the results of the procedure can last. A person who is intent of maintaining weight and keeping the fat off is a good candidate for this kind of surgery. The condition of the patient's skin needs to be optimal in order for the healing to be fast and have no negative side effects.

If you have considered lipo to get your body into great shape, then it may be wise to wait until after you have gone through pregnancy and had your children. It may be much more beneficial to have the lipo after the baby has arrived. Once your body has recovered from pregnancy and from childbirth can be an ideal time to have liposuction done. A very common procedure happening now is for women to ask for a tummy tuck at the same time they have a scheduled C-section. This is best if you are sure you are done having children and know that your family is complete. So while liposuction before pregnancy won't cause any harm or risks, it may be best to hold off if you can until you are done having children.contract phones for bad credit

Guest CommentaryEugene R. Licker and Amanda J. Sherman, The Connecticut Law Tribune
Opinion: Abolish The Attorney-Client Privilege
One of the great myths of the legal profession is that the attorney-client privilege promises absolute confidentiality to ensure clients' full disclosure to their counsel. However, as most lawyers know too well, clients have a natural propensity to engage in self-protective selective disclosure, which may be justified given the many exceptions to the supposedly clear, certain and reliable rule and the vigor with which most counsel attack their adversaries' invocation of the privilege.

Cisco's WAN Interface Cards are add-on interfaces for some of their
smallest routers, including the 1600, 1700, and 2600 series and the 3600 series (with an
appropriate NM adapter, e.g. NM-2E2W or NM-1R2W). WIC modules are 3.08" x 0.75" x 4.38". The electronic
interface to the router is loosely based on the PC-Card (PCMCIA) interface, but
and WIC modules are not interchangeable.
WIC cards are the least expensive modular expansion for Cisco routers, and they are also
the most limited in functionality. However, there are some interfaces which are only
available in the WIC format, for example the WIC-1ADSL which allows a router to use a
single ADSL connection. (The only other Cisco products that can utilize the non-central office end of a DSL
connection are their low-end 600, 800 and SOHO series routers, most of which have been EOLed.)
The WIC naming scheme follows Cisco's "standard" abbreviations, even though little
variety of interfaces is available. If one is familiar with several NP/NM/PA
product codes, it is easy to decipher the functionality of a given WIC module.
WIC-1ENET: 1 10BaseT Ethernet interface
WIC-1T: 1 synchronous serial port
WIC-1B-U: 1 ISDN BRI interface (with integrated NT1)
WIC-2A: 2 asynchronous serial ports

This basic book repair workshop will teach you how to assess damages early, evaluate treatment processes, and perform simple, economical techniques to repair books in general circulating and reference collections. Recommendations for setting up a basic book repair work station, purchasing affordable tools and supplies, and documenting repairs will also be provided. With hands-on practical instruction you will learn the following procedures: Mending paper tears Replacing torn end sheets Tipping and hinging torn out pages Tightening hinges to text blocks Repairing spines and covers This workshop is designed for staff and volunteers who perform basic book repair in libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and other institutions with general circulating and reference book collections.
