Home is where kids play, learn, eat, sleep, and everything in between. Even though both parents and kids often think of it as a safe haven, many dangers lurk in your home. That's why our family enacted these five safety rules to keep our little one safe.
1. Don't leave kids unattended near water even for a second. If the phone or doorbell rings when you're giving your child a bath, don't run and answer it (leaving her unattended in the water). Instead, pick her up and wrap her in a towel first.
2. Keep chemicals, cleaning products, medicine, and even makeup products locked up and out of reach. You probably already know that chemicals like fertilizer, bleach, and drain cleaner need to be stay far away from kids, but everyday products like deodorant, perfume, or hairspray can be just as dangerous. Even high-up cabinets need to be locked so your curious climber can't get inside.
3. Cover electrical outlets and keep electrical cords safely tucked away. As soon as your little one starts crawling, fit electrical outlets with child safety locks, and keep electrical cords out of reach. Keep him away from electrical appliances and teach him that touching them — and the cords — is a no-no.
4. Replace batteries on the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors every six months. You probably have both installed, but when was the last time you actually checked the batteries? If you need an easy way to remember, just replace them every time daylight savings time starts and ends.
5. Secure windows and keep them locked (especially on the second floor). Your cutie can squeeze through an opening as small as five inches, and screens won't keep her from falling out. In addition, don't place furniture — like a chair or small dresser — near a window she could climb.

Diversionary's Falling: rarely happy
Autistics lack internal brain map
Jeff Smith 12:30 p.m., Nov. 22
A deceptively amicable general assembly on Tuesday night preceded a stark division among the roughly 300 protesters who have been occupying the Civic Center concourse since Saturday.
The San Diego fire marshal capped the occupancy's tent count at 100 yesterday and police prevented demonstrators from bringing in additional generators, bookshelves, tables, or any other furniture. Some were even turned away with sleeping bags. An impromptu group came to a consensus with the police to cooperate with the regulation around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the 3rd and B entrance to the concourse.
Last night, differences in opinions on how to interact with the police came to a head after a dispute broke out over a lemonade stand manned by a 4-year-old.
The general assembly was dominated by debate over whether to comply with the growing $49,000+ police presence or resist.
"What we have is a bunch of outcast cliques right now" said a man interviewed on Occupy San Diego's livestream Wednesday evening.
More than three hours of deliberation among the general assembly ended with no semblance of consensus on the issue. Around the same time, Seattle's occupation was raided by police, resulting in 25 arrests.
Peaceful protesters at the Civic Center made signs reading "I [heart] SDPD," which were rebutted with signs reading "smash the police state" and "police are not your friends" held by antagonists (primarily supposed-members of the International Socialist Organization and some factions of anarchists), who marched around the concourse and nearby streets.
About 20 peaceful protesters moved to Children's Park last night.
"We weren't feeling safe there anymore," says Occupy San Diego media team member Anthony Muni. "There was a lot of police activity."
The media team itself was split down the middle by the relocation.
"We're going to need a mediator to come in to facilitate a discussion," says Muni.
Muni estimates the number of relocating protesters had grown to about thirty by this morning, and says the group has return to the Civic Center to inform others of their intention to relocate to Balboa Park at Sixth and Elm.
Occupiers have been notified by police to evacuate the concourse before midnight tonight in order to make way for the permitted "World of Dance Tour" on Saturday. According to the police order, all abandoned property will be impounded and remaining occupiers will be subject to arrest. Assistant Police Chief Boyd Long has said that while personal property must be removed, bodies will be allowed to stay.
Occupy San Diego's website calls the recent developments "expanding," an optimistic tone affirmed somewhat by the occupation reportedly forming in Mira Mesa and the sidewalk occupation in front of the Bank of America in North Park, which, according to Facebook, had six confirmed attendees on Tuesday.
Despite the apparent discord, the movement has found enough common ground to build a bustling community, largely on donated supplies, from the ground up in six days. The part educational fair, part gypsy village includes two libraries, a stocked kitchen, an arts and entertainment tent, an independent media center, a movie theatre, and musicians abounding.
Now, Occupy San Diego faces the challenge of reestablishing itself with much lesser numbers in a new location permitted by police.
The need for a common ethos has never been more pronounced. Perhaps it was said best by this man, who felt alienated and disillusioned with the movement's disparate intentions, and returned with a message of hope and a plea for humility from the fractured factions of Occupy San Diego's 99%.
This is what democracy looks like.
That's my dog. Actually, that's my dog and my daughter. On my birthday, no less.
i'm so glad ur stickin' with this Chad...good on ya ;-D

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is happy to face Barcelona
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says the Champions League draw with Barcelona is a 'beautiful game'.
Last Updated: 20/12/13 8:26am
City were first out of the hat when the draw was made and landed an eye-catching last-16 tie against Spanish giants Barcelona.
City look to have paid a high price for failing to top their group after finishing runners-up to Bayern Munich but Pellegrini is looking forward to facing Barca in the home leg on February 18th and away in Spain on March 12th.
He said: "It's a beautiful game with two very good teams and we will see in February which team arrives in the best moment.
"The 16 teams that play in the last 16 are the best teams in Europe so Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are for me exactly the same."
City needed to better Bayern's 3-1 win at the Etihad Stadium back in October in order to finish top of their group but Pellegrini's misreading of the maths led him to defend a 3-2 lead rather than chase a fourth goal.
However the Chilean claims he got his tactics right and it was the critics who got it wrong.
"There was no confusion. Maybe a mistake could be if I thought 3-2 was enough and we didn't try to score the fourth goal - but we tried to score the fourth and fifth goal but we couldn't do it.
"I respect the critics but I think they are absolutely confused against who we were playing."
Pellegrini believes City, who have qualified for the knockout phase for the first time, will take a lot from claiming such a notable scalp.
He said: "A lot of confidence. The most important thing, and we had already done it, was to qualify for the next round but to play against Bayern was a big test for what we can do in the future."
