e-Liquid Mixing Calculator
Our Easy to use DIY e-Liquid calculator is a simple tool for vapers who wish to try their hand at making e-liquid flavours. Use it to get the perfect PG/VG mix, nicotine level and flavour. Of course you could try the new 100% pure VG e liquid, see our best VG e liquid review that looks at maximum-vapour juices that have been specifically formulated for use with sub ohm devices.
Our best e-Juice calculator is accurate to two decimal places and unlike some calculators also allows for a PG/VG mixed e-liquid.
E-Juice mixing instructions.
- Add your flavours to get the ideal flavour mix.
- Enter PG or VG as a base for your nicotine. (Base Strength mg/ml)
- Use slider to control PG/VG mix percent of output.
- Enter the nicotine strength required. (Required Strength mg/ml)
- Enter Flavouring percentage (typically 5-10%)
- Enter Dilution percentage. (Unless using water/vodka to thin leave at 0%)
- Set how much e liquid you'd like to make. (Quantity ml)
Our calculator is free to use, feel free to bookmark it and do share the page.
Trying your hand at using our e liquid calculator and making your first concoction.
Creating your own e liquid can be great fun. You get to make any flavour you like and its nowhere near as hard as you might think! In no time at all you will be mixing your own using our e liquid calculator. To start with all you need is an idea of what flavour you would like to make, and these ingredients:
- Nicotine
- Propylene Glycol
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Flavouring
These ingredients are going to be adjusted to meet your individual tastes and you do not need to include nicotine, especially if you are trying to wean yourself off regular cigs and you are working towards a 0mg nicotine level, or your looking to create a 0 mg cloud chasing e-liquid.
When using our calculator, if you do want to add nicotine, be sure to stick to between 6 mg and 24 mg. This is what most people vape at. Please bear in mind undiluted nicotine is extremely dangerous and it can be absorbed through the skin. So you need to be extra careful when using this and make sure you wear protective clothing. Needless to say, keep out of reach of children and pets.
Nicotine is the obvious ingredient, and you will want to make sure you mix your juice to the nicotine level that's right for you. The level of nicotine is expressed in milligrams per millilitre (mg/ml or mg for short). Again use proper equipment, clothing and gloves and obviously keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
VG/PG Ratio when using E liquid Calculator
When choosing your PG/VG ratio bear in mind that PG is best for getting a cigarette "hit" or "throat hit" which is great for enjoying vaping, for example vaping with a beer and getting that cigarette nicotine hit which could help you avoid regular smoking. This is all of course personal preference. VG on the other hand is the stuff that creates the thickest vapour though VG does not let your body absorb nicotine as easily as PG will. It will give a smoother drag and more vapour. A high VG ratio for example 80% VG:20% PG is what vapers might use for "cloud chasing" or some people even use 100% VG. We would suggest for your first e liquid to use a mix of around 50/50.
e-Liquid Flavouring Mix
Flavouring is totally up to you. You can add as much or as little as you want and we would suggest starting off with around 5%, some flavours like aniseed at 5% are still very strong and you may find that you will need less volume.
What other tools do I need?
To get started immediately with our e liquid mixing calculator, you will need:
Measuring cup
Small funnel
Protective gloves
An E liquid Calculator
That's it, your all set to go ahead and make your own e juice. Good luck with using our calculator and if you have any feedback for us get in touch via social media:
Example Mixture:
For an example, we will make 10 ml of 18 mg solution with a 10% flavour. We will aim for 80% vg 20% pg. We will use a base nicotine strength of 36 mg.
Our calculator will show that we need the following amounts of ingredients:
5ml vg/pg base nicotine
4ml of PG
15 drops of VG
2 drops of flavouring
You will notice that the base strength is 36 mg, but we are using double that in volume of liquid, hence the final result of 18 mg product. Now your ready to put your e-liquid into a bottle, shake it, and put it on a shelf for a week or two to let the flavour develop (Steeping). Be sure to write down what you did so if you really like it when you go to try it, you can make it again!
We wish you best of luck with our e liquid calculator – Happy vaping!

Rachel & Aaron Omand
We chose Kelsie Low after we found that her images were not too staged and were catching the natural flow of the day. Following a chat with Kelsie and we just knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding.
Nothing seemed to be rushed and she let us enjoy our day and mingle with friends and family. When we needed group photos they were organised quickly without seeming like a chore. Kelsie captured moments and even the feelings of the day without us even being aware the majority of the time and fit in and got on well with everyone but at the same time was invisible with the camera at others. The complete opposite to intrusive and a pleasure to have Kelsie document our day. Loved the presentation box and little touches that came with.
We would definitely recommend Kelsie. The natural photos that she took on the day were just what we wanted and they were all stunning.
Laura & Steve Parker
We had our perfect wedfest wedding & Kelsie did a fantastic job of capturing our special day! The photos are perfect & we couldn't have asked for more!
Kelsie is an extremely professional, hard working, incredibly talented photographer, with great ideas! She goes above & beyond which shows in her awesome photos! Her friendly bubbly character instantly made us feel relaxed in front of the camera, and after seeing her portfolio we were completely relaxed on the day, confident that Kelsie would deliver exceptional photos... Which she did!
We wanted to thank you for everything you did for us & would recommend you to absolutely everyone without any hesitation!!!
Catherine & Nathan Tungate
As soon as I saw Kelsie's photography on her website I was sold, our searching for our wedding photographer was over and we booked her instantly.
Kelsie was even more than we expected at our pre wedding shoot, it was like hanging out with an old friend for the day but we also gained 60 perfect photographs.
I'm still receiving comments from our wedding guests of how professional yet friendly Kelsie was on our day and we all can't wait to see the results. She worked her butt off to achieve what we needed, stayed late to capture our fireworks (and kept the secret!) and didn't stop smiling.
Her photography is worth every penny and we will be travelling to her whenever we need professional photos from now on. Thank you for all your exceptional hard work Kelsie, you went above and beyond what we could of ever imagined.
Rebecca & Ben Millard
Kelsie was absolutely fantastic! She is very easy going, friendly and so chilled out we had such a good day with her shooting some lovely pictures at our wedding. We were so pleased with all our pictures she really knows her stuff. She also did a photo shoot of my wife when she was pregnant which was lovely Becky come away from Kelsie so happy and full of positive vibes. After seeing all the pictures we just knew she was the one for us to be a part of our special day. So thank you very much Kelsie x
Harriet & Phil Henfrey
Kelsie did a fantastic job of photographing our wedding on a very windy day in August! She was friendly, professional and delivered some amazing photographs which we love looking at.
Our wedding guests commented on how lovely she was on the day and on the high quality of the photos. The speed with which we received our photographs was impressive and I would recommend her to others without hesitation. Thank you Kelsie for all of your hard work.
Karen & Justin Powles
Kelsie has a great eye for detail and she managed to take some fabulous shots that captured elements of our special day that would otherwise have been forgotten. There was such a huge selection of fabulous photos to choose from.
You really couldn't ask for more from a wedding photographer. She provides a friendly, professional service in an unobtrusive way. Some of my favourite shots were taken without anyone realising they were being photographed. All around excellent service!
Vicky & Craig Mackenzie
Kelsie was an absolute gem! We couldn't have picked a better photographer. your work and the recommendations we received had us sold on you straight away. Kelsie is friendly, fun and was so accommodating to not only myself and my husband but also to our guests.
We can't wait to see what our photos look like and rest assured Kelsie, we will keep recommending you. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, our day would not have been the same without you.
Kelly & James Lloyd
I loved how Kelsie was able to fit into the day, at no point did I feel "photography pressure" or feel that I was being harassed, I loved the natural photos. What amazed me most was how she was able to take such great photos on the day without me even realizing she was doing it!!
The best part - she completely fit with the whole day, from coming around to the house in the morning to the wedding breakfast, I saw her as a friend and not just someone who was there to do a job - she managed to mingle in with everyone so well, capture some magical family and friend moments that won't be forgotten and most of all, I felt completely at ease.
If you're considering a talented wedding photographer with artistic flare, passion and a warm and friendly personality, Kelsie ticks all those boxes and more, you will not be disappointed!
Claire & Jamie Ellis
Kelsie is not only great at what she does, she is extremely friendly and welcoming as well. We were very lucky to have her photograph our wedding! If you want a friendly and first class service, Kelsie is the photographer for you.
Jennifer & Iain Butler
Just had my wedding photos back and all I can say is... I bloody love them!!! Kelsie is fab at what she does! Amazing service, all my guests said how wonderful she was and how well she blended in and they didn't even no she was snapping away that in its self is skill!
I'm Totally over the moon with my photos and how my perfect day was captured so beautifully!! Thanks you so much x
Beth & Carl Shillingford
Not only was Kelsie there the whole time to capture the moments as they happened, but you also would never know she was there.
A lovely person, with an amazing talent. She captured the feel of our wedding day in all her photos in a wonderfully natural way!
Jennifer & Ian Ford
As it was for my very special wedding day, I wanted a special photographer. Kelsie is very friendly and made us feel at ease. Extremely friendly and personal service, Kelsie provided excellent photographs and captured some really special moments of our day.
Janet & Mark Baird
We were very pleased to choose Kelsie as our Wedding photographer and were delighted with the photographs. Kelsie's ability of capturing natural moments is evident in her work. Her relaxed and friendly approach was greatly appreciated.
Steph Correia
Kelsie photographed my sister's wedding and is a very good photographer! Recommend to anyone very nice person who knows what she's doing.
Naomi & Peter Eccleson
Took stunning pictures of my wedding and the time and effort Kelsie put in to making my album made it so very special!
Chloe Bayford
Our photoshoot was so relaxed and I didn't feel uncomfortable in any way, but my favourite part was receiving the pictures back and seeing my mums face!
If I was to recommend Kelsie to a friend I would say that she's brilliant and if I needed another photo shoot I would 100% not go to anyone else! So pleased with how our photo shoot went and how fast the pictures were ready!
Nicola Smith
Absolutely Brilliant!!! Kelsie is not only a great photographer but a lovely person. She makes you feel so welcome & will give anything a try.
I have had dance photos done and she's captured exactly what I wanted. The studio we were in is very professional and has all the equipment she needed.
The photos have come out fantastic and I'm very pleased I will definitely be asking her in the future if I need more done :) x
Leanne McNamara
Kelsie truly is one of a kind! I have been lucky enough to have her take my baby boys newborn, 6 months and 1year smash cake photos and she is amazing! She is so patient and caring and will do and try anything to make the little one (and parents) feel comfortable and settled which results in beautiful, naturally happy and content, photos.
Georgia Box
Not only did Kelsie provide an incredible end product but she was a lot of fun to be around making me feel very comfortable! A lovely, talented person who will only give you the best.
The best experience, the best quality and the best end product. Not only an amazing photographer but a really lovely person.
Hannah Denny
I love Kelsie's work. Her pictures are so natural and she really captures 'that' moment with every shot. My daughter is extremely shy, Kelsie was fantastic she made Olivia feel very comfortable and was fantastic with her.
I would/will/have recommended Kelsie to my friends and family. I'm so very happy with the photos she took and can't wait for another occasion she is definitely my go to photographer from now on! If you like her work then book you definitely won't regret it!
Myles Newland
I saw a few of Kelsies pictures online and thought straight away they are exactly want I want. Kelsie's photography was the perfect blend of simple but not to simple, they came out so sleek and professional I was well happy.
I'd have to say my favourite part of shooting with Kelsie was how comfortable she made me feel. She put some music on we had a chit chat discussed ideas and basically just had a laugh, it was wicked.
I would 100% recommended Kelsie to a friend, Iv worked with photographers before and I think she is up there with one of my favourites. So chilled and friendly but willing to go above and beyond to get what you want out of the photo shoot which is think is really important.
Sophie Ryleigh
Had a second shoot with Kelsie today this time in studio! From what I saw of camera the images are wicked!! Kelsie is such a down earth lady And fab tog!
She has Many ideas witch we pulled of pretty well. Pre shoot communication was spot on, messaging, sending ideas via pinterest. Always a pleasure working with her!
Leanne McNamara
My little boy loves her and I know I will be back for so many more shoots (as well as when more babies come along).
Kelsie obviously comes with her own ideas but was happy to see/listen to mine too and they have always come out perfect! She goes beyond what any photographer would do for their job. I'm very lucky to have her gorgeous photos of my gorgeous baby grace my walls! We love her x
Rebecca Gardiner
Kelsie made me feel really comfortable as soon as I arrived at the gardens she had chosen to do the maternity shoot.
I thought it was lovely of her to have gone and researched this before hand and she collected some blossom to make the pictures extra special for me to remember my bump forever.
I would recommend kelsie to anyone who wants some pictures taken for any occasion, she's professional, kind, creative and I can't wait for her to take my wedding pictures in a few years!!
Melissa Plummer
Such an amazing photographer, took loads pictures of my little girl and loved everyone of them, would highly recommend Kelsie to anyone, friendly and lovely lady!
Lee Everitt & Stacey Boxall
Kelsie was the only person we wanted to take our daughters photographs. She came to our home and was so patient good with her. Definitely recommended!
Kara O'Sullivan
Kelsie is a very welcoming and friendly photographer. She did a photoshoot of my daughter and really engaged with her and got the best out of her, which is always difficult with young children. We were over the moon with the photographs and they still remain my favourites. Would recommend for anyone wanting professional photographs, finished with excellent eye for detail :)
Charlie Chapman
I met Kelsie last year as I wanted some pics taken of my 2 children, we met in a local pretty garden setting and she had set up some scenes, lots of different coloured leaves and plenty of space. My son was 2 at the time and not great with directions but Kelsie was very patient and thankfully saw the funny side. She had some great ideas and the pictures turned out amazing!
I have a large canvas featuring my children laying amongst leaves, with the sun beaming down on them, and smiles on their faces- as a mum, what more could I want! Kelsie is a lovely lady, very professional, cares about the finished article and I would highly recommend her.
Sophie Ryleigh
Had a fun filled beach shoot today with Kelsie, was the best shoot I've been on in a long time, so relaxing, has so many ideas as in ways to pose also knows what she wants from the shoot. Highly recommend A*

Questions about LiveTrack AV?
LiveTrack AV for fMRI is an affordable video eye tracking system which provides real-time estimates of eye rotation, Direction of Gaze coordinates and pupil size. A live video stream from the eye tracking camera is available concurrently with the data so you can visually monitor and check your observer's behaviour throughout the experiment.
Note: the indicated Guide Price is for the monocular configuration and includes one opto-mechanical mount.
Guide Price: £16500
In the three examples shown below, the MR safe cameras, which have integrated infrared illumination sources, are positioned behind a large, MR safe cold mirror. Cold mirrors are special optical components that are coated with a dichroic filter. This reflects visible light while transmitting infrared wavelengths. Our optical arrangement allows the cameras to be optimally aligned in direct line of sight of the observer's eyes, but at the same time hidden behind the mirror outside the observer's field of view. The cameras can unobtrusively image each eye using infrared light through the mirror, while the observer views a visual stimulus behind their head using the same mirror.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 13, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas SA New Braunfels Herald-Ze/fi/ng Wednesday, July 13,1983 Opinions Hprald'Zeitung Dave Kraaaer, General Manager Robert Johnson, Editor James J. KilpatrickEPA hearings hunt prey like wild coyotes WASHINGTON - A story is developing on Capitol Hill that might be amusing if it didn't cone in so many disturbing elements. It involves skulduggery within the staff of one or more cubcommittees of the House, and if you haven't heard of the story you're not alone. Let me go over the story, and then let us talk about values in the news. This is what happened: On July 21 and 22,1962, five subcommittees from three different House committees got together for hearings on the Environmental Protection Agency. The hearings were known as "EPA Oversight: A One-Year Review." They were not friendly hearings. A principal witness for the administration was EPA Administrator Anne M. Gorsuch. Opposition witnesses included members of Congress, state officials and the leaders of major environmental groups who were dissatisfied, to put it mildly, with the agency's performance. In years past, at least a nominal spirit of bipartisanship had been in evidence at EPA hearings. This time, as Joseph A. Davis reported in Congressional Quarterly, Democrats came to the hearings smelling blood: They saw the EPA's record "as a choice target for campaign trail attacks" prior to the November elections. The Democrats chose their witnesses accordingly. The minority Republicans complained bitterly that the majority had scheduled the hearings as a "witch hunt." They said they were not given adequate notice, but such Democratic leaders as Toby Moffett of Connecticut and James H. Jack Anderson Conflict of interest overwhelms record of senator WASHINGTON - Not long after I reported on the legislative favors Sen. Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo., had done for oil companies that appeared in his personal stock portfolio, he resigned as chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee. Wallop says his departure from the Ethics Committee had nothing to do Witt) the apparent conflicts of interest Imported. He adamantly refused to concede that there had been any conflict at all. But now that he's no longer burdened with the chore of being the Senate's ethical watchdog, the lanky, Yale-educated rancher seems to have redoubled his efforts on behalf of Big Oil's interests — and, coincidentally, his own. Wallop's 1962 financial disclosure form shows he has between $35,000 and $115,000 invested in Exxon, Standard Oil of California and Standard of Indiana. He received $16,025 in oil royalties from a Getty subsididary, bringing his total income from that company since 1978 to nearly $100,000. Big Oil also contributed $115,000 to Wallop's successful re-election campaign last year. My associate Jock Hatfield checked the senator's recent legislative record and turned up some flagrant examples of Wallop's penchant for giving the oil industry a helping hand: — As chairman of a Finance subcommittee, Wallop introduced legislation that would give strip-mining companies an estimated $15 million tax break next year and $21 million more in 1965-1968. The bill would allow strip miners to write oft the future coat of land reclamation before the improvements are actually made. Getty, Exxon, Standard Oil of California and Standard of Indiana all have extensive strip-mining operations and stand to reap a windfall if their senatorial stockholder's bill passes Wallop's Wyoming Wilderness Bill, passed by the Senate in April and now pending in the House, would open up 300,000 acres of proposed wilderness — including the pristine Gros Ventre area near Jackson Hole — to oil and gas drilling. Getty has been battling in court for the right to develop an estimated $2 billion worth of gas and oil reserves in the Gros Ventre region. Wallop's bill would hand them the drilling rights on splatter. — As chairman of an Energy and Natural Resources subcommittee, Wallop introduced a bill that would have given the interior secretary blanket authority to sell off land administered by the Nstional Park Service — including coal and oil acreage coveted by the senator's preferred oil companies. Wallop denied having tried to slip one by; when the implications of a the bill were pointed out by other committee members. Wallop agreed to amend it. Wallop led the successful floor fight against a proposal to ban coal leasing on certain federal lands. The ban covered more than I billion tons of coal that Wallop's four favorite oil companies has shown an interest in leasing the rights to over the next two years. Their hopes are still alive, thanks to Wallop's efforts. Footnote: Wallop has refused to comment on these apparent conflicts of interest between his financial holdings and his legislative actions. A real bummer Amnesty International, the human rights organisation that tries to smooth over bitter political hatreds by asppealing to mankind's better nature, may have gone a bit too far in a recent issue of its newsletter, Matchbox. Included in a graphic collage of "the important things in Georgia's history" to mark Amnesty International's annual meeting in Atlanta was a picture of the most hated damyankee of them all: Gen. William Techumseh Sherman. more There was Uncle Billy's grizzled mug staring out in such distinguished company as King George ll, for whom Georgia was named, the state bird (brown thrasher), flower (Cherokee rose), fruit (Georgia peach) and, of course, a suggestion of the Confederate Stars and Bars. "We needed a graphic in a hurry, and the artist wanted a photo of someone who had had a hisotrical impact upon Georgia," a chagrined editor Marcia Schwen told my reporter Kathy McDonald. The artist tried to find a picture of civil rights leader and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, but for some reason couldn't. So they settled in haste on Gen. Sherman, whose impact on Georgia consisted of laying waste to the state "from Atlanta to the sea" — in the words of the old Union veterans' song. Scheuer of New York brushed the objection aside. The hearings went forward. In accordance with congressional practice, the testimony was taken down by shorthand reporters, who then typed up a transcript of what had been said. After editing, the transcript went to the printers, and in April 1963 the official hearing record was published. Last month Republican Judd Gregg of New Hampshire happened to thumb though the printed document. He was thunderstruck. At the hearing on July 21, his colleague Robert S. Walker of Pennsylvania had said, as the official reporter had transcribed it: "Many members of the other party know that I am willing to take part in reasonable hearings." The printed version read: "Many members of the other party know that I am not willing to take part in reasonable hearings." John HUer of Indiana had said: " .. . a great disservice to the witnesses.. . to have very, very few people on the majority who called this particular hearing." The printed, official record read: ". . . very, very few people on the minority side in attendance, even though they..." At some point between the typewritten transcript and the printers, a long and defensive paragraph by Moffet had been inserted — words that he had never spoken at all. During the hearings, Gregg had marveled at the number of "staff members on the majority side" who were present. The word "majority" had been changed to "minority." 1 Time after time, the printed record had been altered. Some of the changes might be explained in terms of mere editing, but when "majority"is changed to "minority," skulduggery is afoot. Webster's defines skulduggery as dishonest, underhanded, unfair and unscrupulous behavior or activity. It was all of that. The matter is important. Historians, teachers, judges and editors rely absolutely upon the printed records of congressional hearings. The EPA record was doctored. What else has been doctored.? Next question: Who cares about this criminal act? One might have supposed that the speaker of the House, having been apprised of criminal conduct on a subcommittee staff would have thundered for someone's scalp. The speaker has thundered not. Have we heard cries of outrage from the three subcommittee chairmen? They have been very muted. Hie TV networks and The New York Times, what of them? They are silent as King Tut'sTomb. The House voted unanimously on June 30 to authorize closed hearings on the matter in what is laughingly known as the Ethics Committee. Republicans had no choice; their plea for a select committee was rejected by the Democratic leadership. If the Ethics Committee identifies the dirty hands behind this business, and makes a definitive report by the end of the year, it will amaze everyone — and ft particularly will amaze the Ethics Committee.

A secret CIA study cited Soviet efforts in Tunisia and Jordan as "symptomatic of a worldwide phenomenon." The Soviets "doubled the number of Tunisian students receiving training in the USSR during 1978-1978 and again more than doubled that figure in 1979-1960."

One Soviet-Jordanian exchange agreement provided for an increase of 171 scholarships offered to Jordanian students during the last two years. A populsr songwriter nsmed Jsckson Browne once wrote of the strange feelings one gets when trying to deal with death. Written after the death of a friend, "For A Dancer" explains life in a musical context. We all hear different melodies, Browne says, and we create patterns or "dances" to fit life's music. These patterns are as unique to the individual as his fingerprints, since no two people hear the same tune. They're also difficult for anyone other than the individual to comprehend. When tragedy strikes, the only person who could have explained — or tried to explain — his pattern is gone. The survivors are left with fleeting memories of the melody, but they have no idea how that person interpreted it. Browne explains his confusion as he tries to understand his friend's life and death: I don't know what happens when people die. Can't seem to grasp it, as hard as I try. It's like a song I can hear Playing right in my ear And I can't sing. But I can't help listening. Re st the Hwotd-Zottung have had to deal with these complex, confusing emotions since the death of staff writer Jacqueline Smith Monday night. Jackie had her own complex patterns she followed, and those who knew her were all the richer because of them. Jackie was a private person, so even her co-workers rarely got a peek at her music sheet. But we sew the patterns she followed, and we liked what we saw. We don't know why she was almost always cheerful, even when she had to crank out three complicated stories before deadline or cram too many interviews and phone calls into too-few hours. We don't know where she got her sense of humor, but our offices were a little more pleasant as a result. We don't know what made her such a patient person, but she was, and it was a good thing. Jackie carried a heavy workload for us, and when you mix that with our computer system, which sometimes plays hide 'n seek with your stories, your patience is stretched thin on an almost daily There are Iou of other adjectives which spply to her- dedicated, hardworking and professional, to name a few. We'U manage to All the void in our news coverage that her death has left us, but that's the least of our concerns right now. We have lost a special person. Her melody cannot be replaced. We will try to hang onto it as best we can. -ROBERT JOHNSON • Journalists are drilled often about objectivity in college. Some grasp the concept, others don't. But the best writers are those who learn to set personal feelings aside, report the facts, and let the readers form their own opinions. Jacqueline Smith, "Jackie" to her friends, learned her lessons well. In her three years as a HoraktZmturg staff writer, she was fair, honest, and hard-working on and off the job. Jackie was killed in a car-train collision Monday night on her way toe Garden Ridge City Council meeting. She was 24 years old. As an editorial staff, we work in such close quarters that we get to know each other, even if we don't want to. It was impassible to dislike Jackie. She was too special. She always had a smile on her face, and a giggle tucked inside somewhere. If she couldn't say anything nice, she just didn't speak, and when she got upset or mad about something — if she ever did — she'd just get quiet. It sounds almost saintly, but I doubt she ever uttered a negative word about anyone. I know I never heard one about her. The professional contacts she had admired her, trusted her, and she never let them down. Her private life she kept private. She didn't Ulk much about personal things, but she made others feel close to her without it. She touched many people with her written word. Her face brightened the Comal County Commissioners Court meetings, and NBISD board of trustees meetings. In fact, the day Supt. Pete Hendricks retired, she felt like she was losing a friend. She loved politics, and would always jump at those assignments The last story she wrote was published Sunday, July IO, about Rep Edmund Kuempel and a sketch of his first year in the Texas Legislature. She wrote about how his colleagues accepted him through their teasing, how he accepted criticism as part if the job, and about how he wanted to keep his position as long as he felt he could do the best possible job for District*.

Kidnapping, robbery victim pleads for help, faces eviction
by: Tenikka Smith Updated:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A man kidnapped and robbed on the job three months ago is still working to put his life back together.
He spoke exclusively to Channel 9 about the impact the attack has had on his life and his ability to take care of his family.
He did not want Channel 9 to use his name, but says he has flashbacks almost daily from the day in July when he said he was kidnapped at knifepoint while working on Welling Avenue in northwest Charlotte.
He didn't want to show his face or use his name, but told us about the terrifying 20 minutes he spent with Robert Rhinehart, the man charged in the attack.
Police said Rhinehart forced him inside his work vehicle and drove him to an ATM and robbed him.
"He had done this before because we never stopped rolling. When we pulled up to the teller he pulled up with my side to the window so I couldn't open the door," the victim said.
The man said Rhinehart drove him back to the neighborhood, slashed his tire and ran off. The man escaped with a knife cut on his back.
A week later police said Rhinehart kidnapped and robbed a vet worker at a west Charlotte animal hospital before he was finally arrested.
Trying to put it behind him the father of four went back to work but things were different.
"Every little sound you hear, every motion you see --- you stop and you look. You're constantly listening," he said.
He has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder but insurance denied his workman's comp claim, so he can't afford to pay for counseling.
He said some days his anxiety is so overwhelming that he can't bring himself to go to work at all.
It has put a huge strain on his family's finances. Bills are behind, there's little money for food, and his family will be evicted in two days.
Desperate, he is now reaching out for help. He never imagined he would be the victim of a crime that has in turn hurt his family too.
"My wife has been a rock. My kids are everything to me," he said. "The Lord can throw at me whatever he wants and I will handle it, I just don't want them to have to handle it."
The family has spent days reaching out to agencies hoping to get help soon. Rhinehart will be in court for the crimes in December.

Toxic council procedure kills proposed pesticide bylaw
Rossland's proposed pesticide ban died another procedural death this week, in the rather (ahem) toxic environment of the city's first council meeting of the year, with the mayor roaring about "criminals" and councillor Jill Spearn so disgusted by proceedings that she briefly lost the ability to speak.
In our part of the world,
In our part of the world, control is achieved through the subtle means of media rather than the brute force of a police state (though that appears to be changing in Stephen Harper's Canada). Why? Because we can afford to sedate our population instead of brutalizing it. One of my favourite phrases is 'Big Brother is You, Watching' (Mark Crispin Miller). Empty entertainments and pointless news create a population that serves the interests of the wealthy (and dooms the planet), full stop. It's self-monitoring in its passivity. The elites of poor countries, unable to afford to placate their people, are forced to resort to the cheaper techniques of random arrests and violence. And, of course, as our economy starts to tank, we're seeing more of that in Canada.
While every country that has ever called itself 'communist' has certainly been a nightmare, I always think it's worth remembering that coercion can take many forms.
Thanks for putting up with my nitpicking!
Congratulations to the mayor
Symbolic of what?
Hey, let's not gang up on
Hey, let's not gang up on communism! I'd agree totally with you, Karen, if you used the word 'totalitarian state' (or 'nanny state'), but communism is just a theory and there's never been a valid example of it in the world.
I suppose there is some value to symbolic acts like the one recently contemplated. Perhaps, too, there's some poor soul out there looking to Rossland city council to help them orient themselves in this large and confusing world of ours...but I sort of hope not.
Anyway, if you want a good example of totalitarianism in action, leave the commies alone and check out Walmart USA:
"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced an expansion of the "If You See Something, Say Something" program with DHS video messages in 27 states inside 588 Walmart stores equipped with checkout video screens. "This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities," said Secretary Napolitano."
Stupid? Yes. Scary? Yes, also. Remember: they laughed at Hitler (who executed communists, for what that's worth...)

Your Audi dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted replacement parts for your 200 Quattro. When your Audi 200 Quattro left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values European styling in their automobile. You purchased your 200 Quattro because its sporty handling and German engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Audi car, truck, or SUV drivers have become used to a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their 200 Quattro around town.
Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and it creates a slight excess of water as it travels through all the HVAC components on your Audi 200 Quattro. Between your A/C condenser and the expansion valve is the receiver drier, and it absorbs the water in the line and stores it in a desiccant so the refrigerant can cool your interior. Whenever you disconnect any of the A/C hoses on your car or truck, you must change your Audi 200 Quattro A/C receiver drier or accumulator.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Audi 200 Quattro part for your project or repair. When your Audi needs the best replacement A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. If your car or truck was built in 1991, 1990, 1989, then you will find the correct Audi 200 Quattro A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator parts right here.

Current Research
My PhD project investigates the potential of, and contributing factors to, a stronger involvement of citizens in the governance of urban climate risk. Key questions to be answered, using both quantitative and qualitative methods, are: What are the alignments and mismatches between municipalities' and citizens' responsibility for climate change adaptation? How have concrete interactions between the two parties played out in the context of adaptation? What kind of institutional efforts mobilize city dwellers' adaptive capacity and action, and what are the conditions for collaborative arrangements?
The geographical focus is primarily on municipalities in Sweden. I conduct my PhD research in the context of two larger projects: "Increasing societies' adaptive capacities to climate change: Distributed urban risk governance for achieving sustainable transformation and resilience of cities" and "Implementing the Ecosystem Services Approach at the Municipal level" (ECOSIMP) (see under "Research Projects" below).
With a Master's degree in Engineering Mathematics from Lund University, my academic background is in mathematical analysis, mathematical modelling and the application of mathematics in different engineering disciplines (mechanics, signals and communication, computer science, etc.).
During the course of my undergraduate studies, I became increasingly interested in interdisciplinary subjects and as a part of my specialisation in Risk Management, I conducted my Master's thesis based on a case study of an informal settlement (favela) in Brazil. There, I examined both quantitatively and qualitatively the linkages between climate-related risk, social vulnerability, the (informally built) urban environment, and formal education.
In the context of my PhD, I have strengthened my skills in e.g. qualitative methods, systems thinking and theories concerning risk, adaptation, sustainable urban planning and citizen participation, in order to conduct interdisciplinary research.

LPGA Needs Viewers
By Kickntrue on 4/28/09
The LPGA had one of its most exciting finishes in a long time with its top two players going head-to-head, not that anyone saw it. Lorena Ochoa held on to defeat Suzann Pettersen by 1 stroke at the Corona Championship. If I'm mistaken, the event wasn't even available on tv (am I wrong and just missed it?).
Is there anything the LPGA can do to get you to watch or is it a lost cause?

You are correct, it was not available on TV. I thought TGC was supposed to carry the LPGA events, but apparently they were scared of the flu and didn't bother this week.
My gripe is that the telecasts of the LPGA are such low rent that it's no fun to watch...it has nothing to do w/ the talent. Half the time the cameras aren't HD, or are very low quality HD, and the announcers are boring. I'd gladly switch between the LPGA and the PGA on a Sunday afternoon if the telecast quality was comparable.

Advertise if it is on TV might help, I knew it was close and would have watched it just like I did the Men's tourney, I love close tournaments, doesn't matter to me if it is Men or Women just give me golf and let me see one player just one four putt like I did yesterday twice and I am happy.

If your network switches can be managed/scanned by using SNMP, then Spiceworks will pick up the switch port that a device is connected to.
I recently had problems with my Linksys switches not being scanned completely and realized the view (on the device) for the 'public' community string was only able to access very basic info.
Once I went into the web admin console of the switch and enabled a view with more access AND enabled SNMP v2 scanning from Spiceworks (instead of the v1 default), it started picking up my switch ports and what's connected to them.
Now, when I go into the switch on spiceworks, there's a VLAN tab that shows all connected devices/ports.
Hope this helps...

Key Health Care IT Trends
The good news is that primary focus now seems to be squarely on improving the overall quality of health care and the reduction of human errors.
This week the only state to have turned down federal incentive money for electronic health records systems reversed its position. Senators in Montana voted 45-5 to allow the Department of Public Health and Human Services to accept the $35 million set aside for the state's hospitals and community health centers, according to InformationWeek.
Why the turnaround? After legislators voted four times to reject the incentive funds, Gov. Brian Schweitzer joined health care lobbyists in their efforts to convince the lawmakers that not accepting the incentives would actually increase the cost of health care in the state, and lower its quality, too. In a statement, he said:
If Montana rejects the money, it will be distributed to other states, and Montana providers would be left holding the bag, requiring them to use their own funds for the technology or be left behind.
What's more, by rejecting the funds, the legislators were denying the state approximately 500 jobs that are tied to the funds.
Unfortunately, because the legislators delayed approval for so long, it's uncertain whether all of the $35 million intended for Montana will still be available, the story says.
Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, Congress set aside nearly $22 billion in economic stimulus money specifically to "advance the use of health information technology." Part of those funds are to be distributed to health care organizations that implement, and can demonstrate meaningful use of, certified electronic medical records systems.

Messi more determined than ever to win with Argentina
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Argentina's Lionel Messi has unfinished business going into the Centenary Copa America that is being staged in the United States with the Barcelona star keen to help his nation capture a first major title in 23 years.
After finishing runners-up at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and at last year's Copa America in Chile, Argentina are favorites to lift the Copa America for the 15th time in their history and first since 1993.
"This Copa America is a very special tournament for me and more so after losing last year's final. That is why I want to win it for Argentina," Messi, whose 37 goals in 45 appearances were key to Barca's La Liga and King's Cup double winning campaign in 2015-16, said to El Mundo Deportivo.
The Argentina captain hurt his back in an international friendly against Honduras on May 27 and is unlikely to start on Monday in his country's opener against Chile at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
He has reassured his fans, however, that the injury is not serious.
"I feel better," he said.
Coach Gerardo Martino was not at the helm of Argentina at the World Cup but did hold the reins last year when they lost 4-1 on penalties to Chile.
That result led La Nacion newspaper to write at the time: "It seems a nightmare without end, a curse that never ends. The national team continues without winning a title and it's already 22 years."
Argentina also take on Panama and Bolivia in Group D. Continued...

Flashing lights are making pictures on the wall.
I know you wouldn't answer even if I tried to call
It's 3am, you're in your bed.
I'm just trying to get you out of my head.
Down another, the memories smother.
Dialing your number, knowing that you hate the sound
That my lonliness creates, you just wanted a way out.
It's too late, I've gone this far.
Who knew forgetting would be this hard?
I think it's time to leave, try and get back on my feet.
I stumble through a maze to get to you.
I fumble to the ground, it's nothing new.
You weren't the first, but my memory's hazy.
You can't take back the love that you gave me.
Now I'm stuck.

KS, Hertfordshire
You'll have to be patient. The Government is still consulting. No date has yet been set for a final announcement, let alone for when the new rules will apply. It looks as though the Government will allow people with AVC funds to convert them into an annuity income at any age between 50 and 75. That's what people with personal pensions can already do. But there are complications. There is no limit to the annuity income you are allowed to buy with the proceeds of a personal pension; there is a limit on the combined income of employer's pension plus AVC income you can have.
Broadly, the limit is two thirds of your pre-retirement income, although you can go above this level to take account of inflation since you retired. Ideally, the two-thirds rule will be abolished. Otherwise too much time and expense may be involved in monitoring AVC plans cashed in at various times.
At the same time, the Government should re-examine the rules that require you to use many pension funds (including most AVC schemes) to buy an annuity. Annuity rates have fallen to levels that are proving disastrous for many people now retiring. You are contemplating cashing in your AVCs early. The younger you are when you buy an annuity, the lower the in-come you'll get. For many, the possibility of delaying the purchase of an annuity will be the attraction of the AVC flexibility proposed by the Government.
Higher or lower?
I have heard that the difference between the buy and sell price for dealing in unit trusts is to be abolished. If so, would the single price go to the higher buying price or the lower selling price?
AS, Devon
You have misunderstood. Most unit trusts have two prices. There is the higher price at which you buy units, also called the "offer" price. There is the lower price you receive when you sell your units back to the management company and cash in your investment. This is called the "bid" price. You'll see only one price for units in the listings in the financial pages. This is midway between the offer and the bid prices based on the previous day's value. Investors buying into the fund would have paid slightly more, sellers would have received slightly less.
However, single pricing is already in use for open-ended investment companies. Oeics are essentially unit trusts under a new name, though they are governed by different rules. Company law rather than trust law applies and investors own shares rather than units.
Oeics are similar to unit trusts in practice but the most visible difference is the single price. On top of the single price for the shares, there could be separate charges to pay. For example, someone buying into an oeic may have to pay an initial charge to the fund managers.
Hopefully, investors will find the single pricing system easier to understand in comparison with unit trusts. Charges will be more transparent.
A number of management companies have already converted their unit trusts into oeics. If you're an existing unit trust investor, you may at some stage be asked to vote on a proposal to convert to the oeic structure. It is also possible some managers of investment trusts may want to convert to oeic status. But while they remain as investment trusts, they will keep their "closed-ended" fund structure. This makes investment trusts rather different from unit trusts and oeics. There are different risks and other considerations for investors.
The single price of an oeic is based on a valuation of all the investments held by the fund. Stock market investments held by a fund are valued at the mid-market price (half way between the buying and selling prices). When you place an order to buy or sell oeic shares, you may be given an indicative price only. The actual price at which you deal will depend on the next valuation of the fund's assets, with valuations normally taking place at a set time each day.

Location: Plant, Soil and Nutrition Research2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
1) Identify genes and associated physiological mechanisms for aluminum tolerance in the important cereal crop species, maize and sorghum, with the long-term goal of improving crop production on acid soils. 2) Describe molecular and physiological mechanisms of heavy metal/micronutrient tolerance and transport in the metal hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens, and evaluate how these gene systems can be used for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soils and for enhancing micronutrient nutrition of food crops.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
1) Sorghum represents plant species where Al tolerance is a simple trait. We have recently cloned the major sorghum Al tolerance gene, AltSB, and found it is a novel solute transporter. The function of AltSB will be studied using a multifaceted approach including the effect of increased/decreased AltSB expression on the physiology of Al tolerance, association analysis correlating sequence and phenotypic variation of multiple AltSB alleles, and analysis of AltSB transporter properties when expressed in heterologous systems. 2) Maize represents a plant species where Al tolerance is a complex, quantitative trait. We have identified a number of Al tolerance QTL in maize, and will work towards cloning these QTL via a combination of gene and protein expression analysis, high resolution mapping, and analysis of candidate tolerance genes based on homology to Al tolerance genes recently cloned in sorghum and wheat. 3) An investigation of the role of hyperexpression of a suite of micronutrient and heavy metal-related genes in heavy metal hyperaccumulation in Thlaspi caerulescens will involve investigation of cis and trans factors that control micronutrient (Zn) homeostasis in the related non-accumulator, Arabidopsis thaliana, and how these elements are altered in T. caerulescens to contribute to the enhanced metal accumulation and tolerance. 4) We have recently identified several genes that play important roles in the hyperaccumulation phenotype in T. caerulescens, including a heavy metal ATPase and a protein kinase, and the functioning of these genes in heavy metal hyperaccumulation, as well as in micronutrient nutrition will be studied.
3. Progress Report
Progress was made on research objectives, which fall under National Program 301. Under sub-objective 1A, ARS researchers at the Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture & Health in Ithaca, NY, identified novel Al tolerance genes which are being exploited to increase sorghum yields on the acidic, Al toxic soils that limit agriculture on up to 50% of the world's lands, including many developing countries. In collaboration with researchers from Embrapa Maize and Sorghum in Brazil, the first sorghum Al tolerance gene, SbMATE, was identified. SbMATE encodes a transport protein that pumps the organic acid citric acid into the soil, where the citric acid binds and detoxifies Al ions. A second protein that binds very strongly to the SbMATE protein and regulates how it functions has been found. In the absence of Al ions, this protein prevents the release of citric acid from the root. Then, when the root encounters toxic Al ions in the acid soil, this second protein binds Al ions, which causes the protein to change its structure, allowing citric acid to be transported out of the root. This regulation of SbMATE ensures that unnecessary carbon loss from the root does not occur under non-Al toxic conditions. We are taking advantage of these findings to improve productivity of sorghum grown as a major food crop in sub-Saharan Africa and investigating the possibility to increase the productivity of biofuel sorghum grown on acid soils prevalent in the southeastern U.S. Under sub-objective 1B, the first maize Al tolerance gene, ZmMATE1, was identified which is closely related to sorghum SbMATE and also is a root citric acid transporter. We have found that differential Al tolerance in maize is based on differences in expression of the ZmMATE1 gene. We have found that high ZmMATE1 expression in Al tolerant maize is due to the fact that there are 3 copies of this gene in Al tolerant lines while only 1 copy of the ZmMATE1 gene exists in Al sensitive maize. These findings may open up new avenues for improving the acid soil tolerance of maize via molecular breeding. Under sub-objective 1C, it was found that rice uses novel Al tolerance mechanisms not based on the root transport of organic acids into the soil. We are very interested in this as rice is the most important food crop in the world and very Al tolerant, yet little is known about its high Al tolerance. We have conducted "association genetics" analysis of rice Al tolerance which involves determining the level of Al tolerance in a group of 400 very diverse rice lines. We also "genotyped" (determined differences in the genetic make-up of each rice line by examining their DNA sequence using molecular markers which identify differences in DNA sequence between the rice lines) for all 400 of these lines. The association involves using a novel statistical program to identify differences in each plants DNA sequence that correlate with differences in the level of Al tolerance measured in each line. This has allowed us to identify regions of the rice genome where novel genes are involved in rice Al tolerance and we are in the process of cloning and evaluating candidate Al tolerance genes.
4. Accomplishments
1. Over 20% of the US land area and up to 50% of the world's arable lands are highly acidic. On these acid soils, aluminum (Al) ions are dissolved into the soil solution which are toxic to and damage plant roots, thus greatly reducing crop vigor and yields. Because of the importance of this problem to agriculture worldwide, there is considerable interest in identifying genes that provide tolerance to Al toxicity in order to improve crop Al tolerance via molecular breeding and biotechnology. Rice is the most Al tolerant of all cereals and thus may be a unique genetic research for novel tolerance genes and mechanisms. However, very little is known about the genetics of rice Al tolerance. ARS researchers at the Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture & Health at Ithaca, NY, used novel statistical genetic approaches in a large rice diversity panel to identify new regions of the rice genome involved in Al tolerance. This approach then allowed the researchers to identify novel Al tolerance genes in rice. The importance of these findings is that they open up new avenues and new candidate genes for rapidly improving the Al tolerance of rice and other cereals via molecular breeding approaches.
2. Verification that a novel protein regulates sorghum aluminum (Al) tolerance. Acid soils make up as much as 50% of the world's soils, particularly in the tropics and subtropics where many developing countries are located. On acid soils, aluminum (Al) ions are dissolved into the soil solution and are toxic to and damage plant roots, thus greatly reducing crop vigor and yields. ARS researchers at the Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture & Health at Ithaca, NY, had previously discovered the primary Al tolerance protein in sorghum that was shown to function by pumping the organic acid, citric acid, out of the root tip into the soil where it binds to and detoxifies the Al ion. These researchers have now discovered a second protein that binds to the citric acid pump and regulates its function. It does this by preventing citric acid to be pumped out of the root unless toxic Al ions can bind to this second protein. This ensures that unnecessary carbon loss from the root does not occur under non-Al toxic conditions. These findings are significant as they provide us with another molecular target to improve sorghum Al tolerance via molecular breeding, thus improving yields of this important staple food crop on acid soils prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa.
3. Developed novel digital imaging and computational tools to obtain 2D and 3D images of whole root systems. There is a growing realization by agricultural researchers about the importance of the architecture of plant root systems to crop traits such as nutrient and water acquisition. Researchers are discovering that the way the plant determines where in the soil profile its roots grow makes a difference; for example, in acquiring essential nutrients like phosphorous which often are in short supply to crop plants. Very little is known about the genetic regulation of root system architecture as it has been difficult to study whole root systems. Therefore, ARS researchers at the Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture & Health at Ithaca, NY, developed a system to grow root systems of cereal roots in transparent gellan gum tubes that allow them to digitally image the root system in great detail. The researchers then use a novel software system to reconstruct the multiple images of the roots into a three dimensional model of the whole root system. This system is now being used to genetically characterize differences in root system architecture that play a role in water and nutrient uptake under limiting conditions. Subsequently, this information will be used to identify genes that control root system architecture and will provide the information plant breeders can use to carry out "root-based breeding" that should generate higher yielding cereal varieties based on superior root traits.

LAW Lords are expected to stage a rebellion against conditional fees next week, but the introduction of the "no win, no fee" system will not be delayed, it is claimed.
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Taylor, is backing opposition to the plans, which he says will be disastrous for litigants. He is among those supporting a challenge to the regulations by Lord Ackner on 17 October.
A spokesman for Taylor says there is "a ground swell of opposition among legal peers" due to fears that lawyers' extra fees would wipe out damages.
The country's most senior judge will not oppose the principle of conditional fees, which is now enshrined in law, but he is calling for the fees uplift to be reduced.
Ackner's unstarred question will be debated but not put to the vote and so it is unlikely the conditional fee proposals will be held up. The Lord Chancellor's Department expects to lay the regulations by the end of the year.
Law Society officials reject claims that pay-outs to the plaintiff will be eaten up by costs.
Russell Wallman, the society's head of professional policy, says changes are to be made to Order 62, allowing taxing masters to reduce the uplift where it is disproportionate to the risk of losing a case.
David Marshall, co-ordinator of the Association of Personal Injury's special interest group on costs, says the market will also have an impact.
"I don't think it is going to be a disaster for litigants. The market should reflect the difficulty of taking a case," he says.
Marshall says it is better to have a regulated system instead of the current trend for unqualified claims assessors working on a contingency fee basis.
LCD officials say there is no truth in reports that conditional fees for insolvency cases have been scrapped. The proposals are still under consideration.
