The ending of the show stated that they started having activity again after construction workers turned up an indian burial ground across from their house, but that they were learning to live with their ghosts. It would be great to know how they are doing.

I might be mistaken about location of this particular case...I know they showed the Derby Town Hall in the piece on A Haunting.
I checked out the warren's site: http://www.warrens.net/
This is the case...it's under Investigations >>> Recent Cases >>> Stamford
here is write-up and some pictures:
Date: January 9, 1999
Case: Stamford, CT
This report is a compilation of events, facts and evidence gathered since the date of the initial interview conducted by Ed and Lorraine Warren, Mike Roberge and an associate on the 2nd of December 1998.
Since December 2nd, investigators have visited and/or stayed overnight a total of 10 nights. Each night will be reported as any major events may have occurred.
Wednesday, December 2nd: Ed, Lorraine, Lee, and I arrived in the home of Bruce and Shelly. Immediately upon entering the house, most of us noticed the strong, oppressive atmosphere within the house. An associate began setting up his camcorder while the rest of us got acquainted with the family. Shelly, 37, is a small woman who appears very happy and energetic. She works as a nurse. Bruce, her husband, is 28 and works in the technical field. Their three children are Julie, 16; Jackie 14; and Michael, 9. The spirits present in the house appear to focus their activity on them. Although Julie and Jackie appear to deal with the situation quite well, Michael gets extremely frightened and upset when activity takes place.
The two level house was built in the early 1800s and has been renovated several times. Story has it that the house at one point in time was a tavern for the locals but no time frame is known and no real evidence to that fact has been uncovered (to my knowledge). Both the interior and the exterior of the house seemed to be cleaned regularly. Bruce and Shelly sleep in the bedroom on the first floor, just inside the front door. The children each have their own rooms located on the second floor. I did not notice any religious items in the house at any point until our visit on the 12th of December.
At approximately 9:45 PM Ed and Lorraine began their interview with the family. The following is all the main, pertinent information given by the family. They have only been living in the house since September 1998 and have had trouble since their arrival. Activity began with Michael complaining of being touched. Quickly, activity increased to Michaels hair being pulled, being poked, and his sheets being pulled off the bed while he was in it. Bruce and Shelly did not pay much mind to the complaints assuming it was due to the overactive imagination of a 9 year old.
Shortly after the initial events took place, Shellys mother came to the house for a visit and stated that during the night, she saw three human spirits standing just outside the family room on the first floor.
The following night, Jackie complained to Shelly that she felt she had been "punched" from under the bed, through the mattress. Following that, as she sat on the bed talking on the phone, the entire foot of the bed, frame and all, began to move side to side as if someone were standing there lifting it and shaking it. That is when Shelly realized that maybe there actually was some truth to what she had already been told.
Shelly claims that she had felt an "evil" presence in the house since the day they initially looked at the house before purchasing it. She explained away the uneasy feelings due to the fact that the house had recently caught fire and the fire damage was still visible on the outside walls. When her children began complaining of these supernatural events taken place, Shelly again began to realize the feelings she was having may, in fact, be legitimate. She then made the decision to call Ed and Lorraine.
While the family was giving their statements, Lorraine, Lee, and I did a walk-through of the house. Very little, if anything was felt on the first floor and the basement did have slight but nominal feeling of a presence. The second floor was an altogether different story. As we walked up the stairway to the second floor the feeling of multiple spirits was becoming more and more prominent with every step. At the top of the stairs is a small hallway and Jackies bedroom, the "green room". Upon entering, an immediate feeling of overpowering pressure could be felt. What was in that room at that time was not human.
Off the hallway were Julies bedroom and Michaels bedroom. Also there is a "plant room", used by Shelly to maintain a small forest of different types of plants and trees. The hallway itself had the feeling of presence but this appeared to be human. Julies room had a small amount of pressure, as did Michaels, to a slightly higher degree. The plant room was by far the clearest and most peaceful room in the entire house.
We completed our walk-through and re-joined Ed and the family in the kitchen; they were still giving their statements. Lee sat down at the kitchen table with Lorraine and within minutes began to shudder, swaying from side to side. She asked for a pad of paper and a pencil and immediately began scribble words. She had begun automatic writing; one of the human spirits wanted to communicate.
Ed and the spirit began conversing. Transcripts of full conversation are on record. Some of the pertinent information from the conversation are as follows: The three spirits there were Geoff Roberts, Mary Roberts (Geoffs wife) and Emma. We do not know who Emma is or where she fits into the scheme of events but Geoff owned and lived in this house in 1888. It was also found, on record, that Geoff Roberts did actually own and live in the house in 1888. It was also discovered that Mary was the name of his wife. It is unknown whether Mary was with him during this time frame but I believe she was. Geoff was very angry about the family living in the house. As far as he was concerned, it was still his house.
The conversation lasted, on and off, for about 15 minutes and after it ended Ed, Lorraine and Lee decided to leave. My associate and I were going to stay overnight. After Ed, Lorraine and Lee left, and I talked with the family until about midnight then retired to the green room. Within only a few minutes, we began to hear raps on the walls. We felt that the raps were no doubt coming from one of the three human spirits in the house. This continued on and off for approximately one hour. We also felt the psychic cold moving throughout the room and different points in time throughout the night. We both also felt a more powerful, hostile presence but it was certainly not making itself known.
Nothing major was continuing so at 3 AM we left the house, I had to be at work that morning.
Friday, December 4th: We returned back at the house at 9:30 PM. Once again, immediately upon entering the house we could feel the presence of evil waiting in the background. Bruce, Shelly and Jackie were in the kitchen where we all sat and talked, Julie was still at work and Michael was in bed in the family room, just off the kitchen. We talked until about 11:30, then we made our way back up to the green room.
My associate set up his video camera and I began playing Gregorian Chants. At about midnight, the raps began again. This time we attempted to communicate, stating one rap would mean "yes", two raps meant "no". We began asking questions.
Although the raps were very soft, a few were captured by the camcorder. We did manage to talk to Geoff. The short conversation with him revealed that he was keeping both Mary and Emma there against their will. We tried to talk him into letting them cross over but he refused. We both also got the impression, although it was never revealed to us, that Geoff was being coerced by the inhuman spirit to do what it wanted. Nothing further was revealed that night but the knocks and psychic colds continued on and off throughout the night, finally subsiding at about 4 AM.
This night, similar to the first night at the house, I personally felt very drained after spending any amount of time in the green room. Within an hour of first lying on the floor, I would find it impossible to stay awake or alert completely opposite from my normal. My associate, on the other hand, was awake most of the night and claimed that as I neared the sleep state, the rapping increased and died out for a short time when I fell into a deep sleep.
We awoke the following morning at about 8 AM and left the house with no other activity being noted.
Wednesday, December 9th: A group of us were in Carousel Gardens Restaurant but my associate was not around this night. At about 9:15 PM, both Lorraine and I (without each other knowing) each got feelings that something bad was happening in the house. I walked up to Lorraine and asked her if he was in the house, and told her that I had a bad feeling. She then told me that she also got that same feeling and that he was indeed in the house.
Later, I drove to Stamford and met my associate, who was already sitting at the kitchen table. I asked, in my non-verbal way, if any thing had happened and he replied with a "no". After about 30 minutes in the house, no activity had taken place and no presence could be felt. He, as far as I could tell, wanted to be in the house alone so I decided to leave, assuming he was wanting to try something that required solitude. I left at 11 PM.
Later, he and I talked about that night and we realized that he really wanted me there but I picked up wrong from him. We had that happen to us many times during the course of this investigation. During most investigations, we were very much in sync with each other but during this investigation, we were very out of sync, very confused, and almost opposites. We began realizing what was happening; we were purposefully being thrown out of tune with each other to make getting firm answers much more difficult. We were now truly realizing what the entity in this house was capable of doing.
By this point in time we were sure of what was present in the house and why. We knew that Emma and Mary were there. We believe that they were being held back by Geoff, who is very angry and controlling. Geoff, in turn, was there because he also was being held back by an inhuman spirit who was both controlling Geoff and directly affecting the family through its manipulations.
Thursday, December 10th: Ed, Lorraine, and Lee went to the house with the intent of communicating with Geoff. They got more than they bargained for. Also present that night was Bruce, Shelly, Jackie and Michael (who was already in bed). Later, Shellys cousin showed up. Her cousin is a police officer in a local community. He is a very large man who is terrified of the supernatural.
They all sat at the kitchen table while we set up the camcorder. Lee sat at the head of the table with Lorraine next to her and Ed next to Lorraine. Bruce was directly across the table from Lee with Shelly and Jackie next to him. Lee began automatic writing shortly after everyone was situated. "Father" came through first followed by Geoff. The automatic writing did not last long; she soon began channeling both "Father" and Geoff, switching back and forth at various points in time. Geoff began to get very violent, starting with verbal attacks on everyone in the room. The language used was obscene and threw everyone off guard.
Ed decided to have Lorraine recite the St. Michaels prayer and within seconds after starting, Geoff became extremely violent. The violence rose quickly from obscene language towards Lorraine to physically attacking Ed. Lee, now under complete possession from Geoff leapt from her chair landed on Ed and began punching him in the chest. It took everyone in the room to get her off Ed. Even with Shellys cousin helping, it was a struggle.
After the situation settled down, everyone decided to call it a night. Before leaving, Ed asked Shellys cousin if he would stay the night with them in the house, for fear of increased activity. He adamantly refused, stating there was no way he would stay. They left shortly thereafter. No more activity took place that night.
The following day, after realizing what Geoff and the inhuman spirit were capable of, Ed decided to contact Father Bishop to have an exorcism performed in the house. He agreed to conduct it and the date was set for Monday, December 14th.
Monday, December 14th: We arrived at the house at 12:45 PM. Two other investigators were already there and the rest of the crew had not arrived yet. We set up our video and audio equipment and waited for Father, Ed, Lorraine and Lee to arrive. Only Bruce and Shelly were in the house, the kids were all at family or friends houses. Shelly had, earlier that day, purchased a number of religious items such as Crucifixes, Crosses, Rosary Beads and cross necklaces for Father to bless while he was there.
The rest of the group arrived at about 1:30 PM. Fathers intent was to bless the house, proceed to the exorcism of the house and finalize any other requirements as necessary. It was also assumed that either Geoff or the inhuman spirit was going to possess Lee during the rites so we had all prepared for the exorcism rites to continue on to Lee.
After everyone had said their greetings and Father was introduced to the family, he began his blessing of the house. He walked through each and every room, blessing it and sprinkling Holy Water as he went along. He completed his blessing in a matter of 15 minutes and promptly started the exorcism. The entire ritual was spoken in Latin. Almost immediately, Lee came under possession and started half-yelling that it wasnt going to work. Her words sounded more as a promise than a prediction.
Father was only a few minutes into the exorcism when Lee, coming in and out of possession, began to get totally unruly. The ceremony quickly turned into the full exorcism of an individual Lee.
Using body restraints, the five men present during the ceremony restrained Lee to a sturdy wooden chair and took positions around her, serving three functions; to restrain her in case she broke loose from the body restraints, to protect her from injury and to protect Father from her. The exorcism continued, focused now on Lee.
During the course of the exorcism, Lee came, again, in and out of possession and at times, was extremely difficult to manage. Within the first few minutes, she broke free of the body restraints tearing apart one of the chair legs she was restrained to. She literally snapped the wooden leg as easily as if it were a toothpick, she did so with a very eerie grin on her face. We then had her stand up. I was positioned behind her, anchored with my back to the wall, one person was on each side of her and one or two people between her and Father.
At various times through the exorcism, Lee would go into a fit of rage so violent, the five men assigned to restrain her could not maintain control of her. She was tossing us around like we were rag dolls. Father continued for approximately 1 ½ hours before the exorcism was completed.
At about 3:30 PM, Father Bishop, Ed, Lorraine and Lee left, followed by the other two investigators. My associate and I stay behind for about 30 minutes to get a feel on whether or not the house had been cleared. My associate felt the house was at peace but I did not. The impression I got was that the exorcism had weakened the inhuman spirit but had not gotten rid of it. We decided we would leave the family alone, not "prompt" them to thinking it was still there, and see what transpired over the course of the next few days.
We left the house at about 4:15 PM, after saying our good-byes and waited to see what would happen next.
Friday, December 18th: My associate received a phone call from Shelly. She stated that activity had taken place the night of the 17th and she was now very concerned about the familys safety. We decided to once again conduct an overnighter in the house and see if we could determine the level of the spirits strength.
We stayed, as always, in the green room but this night no activity occurred. It was quiet and there were no feelings of any presence in the room or in the house. We left the house the following morning.
Saturday, December 19th: My associate again received a phone call from Shelly during the afternoon. She explained that activity was again taking place, now during the day. We arrived back in the house at about 10 PM.
We sat and talked with Bruce and Shelly in the kitchen until about 11:30 PM. Once again, we stayed in the green room and it was very active in the room. Raps were heard from many different locations throughout the room. Prior to this night, the raps that had been heard came mainly from the far wall, about midway up the wall. Now, things had changed. The feeling in the house was different but could not be pinpointed.
At about 1:30 AM I was beginning to get very drained and was having a hard time staying awake. Without warning I felt another presence in the room, it was not the inhuman spirit we were used to feeling. It was Emma and Mary. Although no real communication was done, I knew that they were there to tell us good-bye. From what I was able to decipher from what I picked up from them, the exorcism weakened the inhuman spirit enough that it was not able to maintain control over Geoff, who in turn, released control of Emma and Mary. We have not felt their presence since.
No other major activity took place the rest of the night but my associate stated that the rappings continued for about 30 minutes after I fell asleep. We left the house at about 9 AM the following morning.
Wednesday, December 23rd: After another phone call from Shelly, we again conducted an overnight investigation. It was now two days before Christmas and we were concerned of the fact that activity may increase due to the amount of time since the exorcism and that Christmas was at hand. Shellys mother, who was staying in the house through Christmas, was hospitalized for, as of time of this writing, an unknown reason.
We arrived later than normal, about 11 PM. We talked with Shelly for about 20 minutes then proceeded to the green room. Activity was at a very high level that night. Rappings were louder, more frequent and were moving throughout the room. We also heard a new sound, the sound of fluttering (as if the fluttering of wings). The unusual part about what we heard is I heard the sound up high, near the ceiling directly above where my associate was laying. He heard the same sounds at the same time but much lower, almost directly next to him. He associated the sound we heard to what he heard during the infamous Southington case.
Like normal in this particular case, I fell asleep early that night. He was awake most of the night and continued to hear rappings most of the night. We left about 8:30 AM.
Thursday, December 24th: No investigation was conducted but for the sake of documentation, Julie was involved in a severe car accident. She was hit in the right front side of the car, totaling it. She was only minimally injured.
Monday, December 28th: After reviewing the activity noted by my associate and I, Ed and Lorraine had contacted Father Bishop once again and the decision was made to conduct a Solemn Exorcism.
Father, Ed, Lorraine, my associate and the entire family were present in the house. From the reports given, the exorcism took approximately 1 ½ hours and was conducted with no outward difficulties.
As of January 9, 1999, there has been no known activity taking place in the house. We have been in contact with the family several times since then and by reprts from the family, all activity has stopped.
Photo immediately above, the ghost globule can be seen just above the doorknob of the far door.
Both photos above show the presence of one of the three human spirits in the home.
Notice the bright red spot on the door. Probably one of the most incredible photographs we have seen. Good evidence of the demonic entity that is present in the house.
Another uncommon photo: psychic mist accompanied by two ghost globules. This photo was taken shortly after the tree was discovered to have been knocked over while no one was home.

very interesting though
but i still have to put some doubt into the Warrens though i know that they have been around and have done many cases and books, e.t.c. i am rather partial to T.A.P.S. they follow through their investigations muh better than just going around and having feelings i am still a skeptic until someone or something can make me a believer.........

Promote Illegal Activity
Nick Russell on January 21st, 2010
Are you as sick as I am of the term undocumented immigrants? Political correctness be damned, what's wrong with calling an illegal alien exactly that? You can candy coat it all you want, but if they are in this country without going through the proper immigration channels, they are here illegally. If they are not […]

David Loiseau believes mixed martial arts is one of the most fan-accessible sports imaginable. Yet, at the end of the day, he knows MMA fans rarely get the full story.
So as the former UFC title challenger and the upcoming Tachi Palace Fights 8 headliner prepares for the debut of a documentary based on his career and teammate Georges St-Pierre's, he's excited to pull back the curtain.
And as Loiseau told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio), the answers to often-asked questions aren't always easy ones.
Loiseau (19-10), once one of the world's top 185-pound fighters, look to get back to the top when he meets middleweight champion Leopoldo Serao (17-7) in the main event of Friday's "Tachi Palace Fights 8: All or Nothing" event. MMAjunkie.com streams the show for free from the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif.
Then, next week is the world premiere of "The Striking Truth," a documentary directed by Stephen J. Wong and Bobby Razak that features Loiseau and fellow Canadian St-Pierre.
Loiseau said he first pitched the idea of the film years before anyone really knew who he and St-Pierre were. But Wong liked the idea, and they began filming in 2006 at UFC 58. Loiseau fought then-champ Rich Franklin in the headliner, and St-Pierre took on legend B.J. Penn in a featured bout.
It was a pivotal time in both fighters' careers.
"It's a documentary but more of a human story," Loiseau said. "It's for everyone, not just MMA fans. It's something that's going to inspire a lot of people. It's not just about fighting. It's a great movie."
With more than four years of footage, including backstage access before the duo's major fights, the film captures all the highs and lows of professional-fighting careers. It also captures two careers that veered into very different directions.
"It came out better than I thought it would," Loiseau said.
At 31 years old, Loiseau's story is far from over. He's won four of his past six fights, but both losses came in one-fight returns to the UFC, where he struggled to reclaim his once-dominant form on MMA's biggest stage. The film captures all that. But though filming is complete, Loiseau's career isn't.
As he hopes the documentary will show, Loiseau can't give an easy answer to what went wrong in those fights.
"The mental game is very important," he said. "It's 80 percent on fight night. So you have to put in the work and punch in the hours in the gym so that mentally everything flows."
And when things go wrong?
"There are always factors that people, fans, don't know about from the outside," he said. "It's not only, 'You lost this fight and didn't let your hands go.' There's strategies, personal issues. There's stuff you guys don't know about. So it's hard to say, 'It happened because of this or that.'
Loiseau tries to explain the point further but interrupts himself, careful not to pin the blame on anyone but himself.
"The fans think I'm not exciting, but," he said before regrouping. "Actually, it is my fault. It's up to me to make adjustments. I take full blame for these losses and performances. That's it. I just need to move forward. I took a good look at me and my career, (and) I just needed to put in the right work at the right places."
Training primary at Tristar Gym with trainer Firas Zahabi, he thinks he's done that for Friday's fight, which is a golden opportunity. While not one of the world's most prominent promotions, Tachi Palace Fights has a strong following and influence in this sport, and it's helped many up-and-comers and seasoned vets go on to big fights elsewhere.
If victorious, Loiseau will claim a belt and further prove to himself that he's meant to be an MMA fighter. After all, he has no plans to quit anytime soon.
"It's my 11th year as a professional, and honestly, as long as God wants me to fight, I'll keep fighting," he said. "I live a clean lifestyle. No drugs ever. No alcohol ever. No partying. I live a clean lifetstyle, and as long as God wants me to fight, I fight."

Travel Observation #20: Hotels, motels and casitas that proudly claim to offer their guests a high-speed wireless internet connection are quite often wholly unable to actually deliver on that promise.
While in New Mexico, 95% of my Red Sox news has come in the form of a final score only. So I know that they have pissed away any chance they might have once possessed to win the East. The Yankees now lead the division by nine fookin' games. Boston holds a 2.5-game lead over the Rangers for the Wild Card. Which, I suppose, is really all I need to know.
For now, MLBTV remains a possibility for tomorrow night's game against Baltimore. And we discovered tonight that the Albuquerque Isotopes -- the Marlins' AAA team -- begin the Pacific Coast League playoffs at home Wednesday night against the Memphis Redbirds. Albuquerque is the city from which we are leaving early Thursday morning, so we may see some minor league ball before heading home.

Sometimes in Chicago
The runs do not fall
And the media grouse
But if you hang on
Here's a meat ball
Right in your wheel house
Beat on us, when you're not strong
'Cause we're the O-Birds
We'll help you hit a dong
For, it's never too long long
Till Baltimore gives
Somebody to beat on

Paving begins on Chaffee Crossing stretch of I-49
Paving has started on a stretch of interstate that developers say will help bring more jobs and traffic into our area.
Construction crews along the Interstate 49 project at Chaffee Crossing are prepping the lanes for paving.
The $22.6 million paving contract will have crews out all summer long working to get the highway paved.
Highway officials said the stretch is being completed because of business at Chaffee Crossing.
"Projects that have been undertaken in the last few years to complete this section have been an effort by the (highway) commission to provide funding for it," said Joe Shipman, an engineer with the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Dept.
"...it's been the interest in the local community by the chambers of commerce, the cities, the counties to see this segment completed to help with the growth," said Shipman.
The highway dept. said the project won't be finished until late 2014 or early 2015.

World War II Through Polish Eyes: In the Nazi-Soviet Grip

Intertwining the fate of a country with the life of one Polish family, this book tells the story of a Polish girl who attempted to outwit the Nazis and the Soviets. The events are true and based on extensive oral accounts of the participants and documents released only in Polish and never before available in English, including original Auschwitz letters and Nazi exhumation documents.

Periodic Reporting 1st Cycle: Europe and North America
The First Cycle of the Periodic Reporting exercise was carried out from 2001 to 2006 for Europe and from 2001 to 2005 for North America. The exercise provided an opportunity for States Parties to highlight a number of challenges.
Europe Region
For the Periodic Report for Europe , the results of the exercise and the Action Plan were presented and adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its 30th session in Vilnius, 2006 (see Decision 30COM 11A.1).
The exercise has helped to increase interest in and awareness of the World Heritage Convention among governments and institutions and has brought to light a number of challenges and concerns expressed by Focal Points and Site Managers.
In response to these concerns, sub-regional recommendations and an overall Action Plan have been developed in collaboration with national Focal Points and the Advisory Bodies.
The Europe Periodic Reporting of the First Cycle was an important achievement for the whole region. It has resulted in the digital collection of all the data made available by States Parties and has set the pace for the increased cooperation between States Parties in the framework of the World Heritage Convention.
The exercise results for Europe is published in the World Heritage Papers, N°20 "Periodic Report and Action Plan 2005-2006" .
North America Region
The Periodic Report for North America assessed the implementation of the World Heritage Convention and the state of conservation of World Heritage properties in Canada and United States of America and was presented and adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its 29th session in Durban, 2005 (see Decision 29COM 11A).
The Report has been a pioneering exercise for the elaboration of statements of significance (approved in 2006, see Decision 30COM 11B ).
This process was conducted in close collaboration with the Advisory Bodies and resulted in a methodology which became a reference for World Heritage properties worldwide.
The subsequent activities of the Periodic Reporting exercise for North America have focused on strengthening planning and monitoring tools, developing guidelines for management plans and establishing principles for evaluating visual impacts of activities in or adjacent to World Heritage properties.
The national reports for North America are available on the following websites:Canada

If you've ever dreamed of a day when your home-loan is the only debt to pay, you'll know that that dream will never materialise without financial discipline. Constantly revolving on loans or using the minimum payment paid into the credit card keeps consumers in debt, spending a fortune on interest and consistently living beyond their means.
Analyse all of your debt, your monthly expenses, and your expected income. Without this full information, a proper monthly budget cannot be drawn up, and without an accurate monthly budget, financial planning isn't possible. Once the budget is in place, it is crucial to evaluate how finances will be allocated. At the beginning of the month, set the limits for spending in certain areas (such as entertainment) and then stick to those limits.
This is where the discipline comes in – the discipline not to use the portion you've just paid into your credit card, or to accept the invitation to dinner when you've already spent your entertainment funds. The question is; how can this discipline be achieved? The first step is to identify your goals. Secondly, identify the actions you must take, and then take them. Thirdly, nurture your style of discipline, and hone it into a skill. Lastly, apply the discipline and start the journey to financial freedom.

In the heavily regulated and legislated insurance industry, jargon can become confusing. It is essential that consumers remain aware of which cover covers which debt or event; particularly to avoid a nasty surprise when it comes to claiming.
Saving money shouldn't be a burden – and it isn't all that difficult to do. When we're tied up in our own finances it can become difficult to identify saving opportunities, but with a bit of perspective saving really can become simple.
The Credit Ombud defines credit life assurance as; "The cover a consumer takes out in the event of their death, disability, terminal illness, unemployment, or other insurable risk that is likely to impair the consumer's ability to earn an income or pay their monthly instalments under a credit agreement."
As the saying goes, two things are certain in this life; death and taxes. Unfortunately, death is not the end of the line for your credit – leaving loved ones with the responsibility of settling what they can out of your estate.
Credit life insurance is a mandatory requirement in terms of the National Credit Act (NCA). While it is a requirement to have the cover in place, there is no prerequisite as to which provider the cover should be taken through and it's a creditor's right to choose who to insure through. As such, while creditors are required to have credit life insurance in place, they may switch cover without any repercussions.
According to a study by Business Report, credit life insurance is by far the most common form of long-term insurance by number of policies sold globally (although it can be a short-term insurance product too).
Credit life insurance can be a grudge purchase, but it is nevertheless required by law. While debtors are required to take this cover, there is no set requirement regarding with which provider the cover must be held. The keys to managing credit life insurance are; knowing your rights, reviewing your loan agreement, and cross-checking the cost of the cover.
If you've ever dreamed of a day when your home-loan is the only debt to pay, you'll know that that dream will never materialise without financial discipline. Constantly revolving on loans or using the minimum payment paid into the credit card keeps consumers in debt, spending a fortune on interest and consistently living beyond their means.
South Africans collectively shook their heads in incredulous disbelief as the announcement was made that the country had been downgraded to junk status. While this will undoubtedly affect our pockets, the responsible approach is to implement contingency plans, learning to cope with the added pressures this downgrade entails.

While this will undoubtedly affect our pockets, the responsible approach is to implement contingency plans, learning to cope with the added pressures this downgrade entails.
The first step to financial planning is setting a budget. The second is sticking to it. In planning effectively for the future, a certain amount of savings should be built into the monthly budget. This money should be put aside – and if you have a propensity for transferring it back to use in the same month, put it in a limited-access account to ensure you make headway in protecting your future financial freedom.
At Switch2, we believe in following a TCF Policy; Treat Customers Fairly. Part of this is helping customers to claim, even when they aren't sure they can. The first step to achieving this is to help customers understand the claims process.
Whether you've got store accounts or a credit card, vehicle loans or credit life cover, Switch2 strives to save you money. But that's not enough. To create real nett worth, the key is to earn while you save.
Next month (August 2017), new credit life insurance regulations will come into effect. These regulations have been established to offer you, the consumer, greater protection. However, as is often the case when it comes to credit life insurance, if you aren't aware of your rights and the benefits they entitle you to, you can't claim these benefits.
Credit life insurance is often poorly understood; even by those that are most likely to purchase it. Generally, the first experience credit consumers have with insurance is credit life cover, yet many don't fully grasp what is included, how it works or what their rights are.
When purchasing a car, there are many difficult decisions to make. From fixed and linked interest rates, to the ideal deposit amount, new or used, balloon payments and the optimum contract period, buyers should ensure that they've done their research and understand the implications before signing on the dotted line.
The purpose of credit life insurance is to assist consumers in paying
their debts in the event of an insured event occurring. Whether due to death,
disability, illness, maternity leave or retrenchment, the urgency of having
claims paid timeously cannot be overstated. The key is to receive assistance
before creditors are forced to take legal action, making what could already be
a stressful time in the consumer's life even more strenuous.
management can be a tricky endeavour. Whether personally or professionally,
debt has a way of creeping ever higher, seemingly unnoticably. If you feel like
you're sinking into debt, do not fret - here are three tips to help you get
back on your feet.
It's silly season and
the holidays are (almost) in full swing. The festive season is often a time
when most throw caution to the wind and engage in enough retail therapy to last
well into the new year. The thrill of getting that item you covet is, however,
distinctly short term. The cost, on the other hand, will have a lasting and
often damaging impact.
Credit life insurance is essential. It protects the consumer against a bad credit rating when the unforeseen happens, while preventing bankruptcy in the event of disease, disability or retrenchment (among others). In the event of death, this insurance will ensure that your family is not put under additional financial strain. Yet, if you don't know how or when to claim, the cover is meaningless.
When the news arrives that the pitter patter of little feet will soon be heard, the excitement is often tangible. It is an exhilarating time in most people's lives. However, as preparations are made for the baby's arrival, the financial implications sometimes dampen the mood.
From injuring your hand to a speck of glass in the eye, these are examples of how fragile the human body actually is. Too often, lives are drastically changed in an instant. In just a few seconds of distraction, shattering accidents can happen. While some walk away unscathed, others face living the rest of their lives with a drastic, permanent disability.
Consumers often feel like they're drowning in the murky waters of credit life insurance. Insurance in general can become confusing. Finding the right cover for your unique requirements can present a challenge – and finding a provider that won't overcharge you may seem impossible.
"It's only one percent, how bad could it be?" This sentiment is one that should be avoided.
With yet another petrol price hike and the ever-rising cost of living, many feel as though they are drowning. From expensive debt repayments to living from hand to mouth, South Africans must act fast if they are to take back control of their finances.
The possibility of becoming a widow/widower is not something one ever really wants to think about. Modern households comprise of partners, working together to maintain their lifestyles. Whether that means making money or running the home, each partner contributes. Often, one partner takes control of the family finances, mostly managing payments and budgeting (or their portion thereof).
Many may consider insurance a grudge purchase, questioning whether it's really necessary. Can't we just take the chance? However, when accidents happen; when things don't go according to plan; when the business you work for restructures; or when the breadwinner unexpectedly passes away; the value of insurance becomes undeniable.
Are you tired of feeling out of control when you look at your bank account? Do you feel overwhelmed when you consider drawing up a budget, or planning for your financial future? Are you drowning in debt, and wondering which way is up? Then it's time to get organised!
Every time you swipe your card, you're making a decision about your finances. Have you considered how much that swipe (or tap) is costing you in bank charges, whether that expenditure is in line with your budget, and how it is going to affect your bottom line for the month?

SANDY, Utah – In 2011, Real Salt Lake kicked off the MLS Cup playoffs in style, posting a 3-0 win over the Seattle Sounders at Rio Tinto Stadium. Just days later, they found themselves at CenturyLink Field, holding on for dear life in what eventually became a 3-2 aggregate victory.
The roles are reversed this year, as RSL begin the series in Seattle on Friday evening (10 pm ET, NBCSN, live chat on MLSsoccer.com). So how would the team like to return to Utah after the first leg this time?
"Yeah, a 3-0 win, 5-0 even better," joked head coach Jason Kreis. "No, I think that you have a baseline objective that you go into these games with, what you'd like to come back home with. But again, for me, it is no time now – because it is playoffs – to start saying we are just going to focus on results, because we know we can't get the results if we don't focus on performance and all the details that go into performances."
Midfield stalwart Will Johnson echoed his coach's sentiments.
"I'm not sure there is a perfect scenario," he said. "These games change so much, a goal here or there changes every game. Just as long as we stay together, execute our tactics, that will be the perfect game."
Defender Nat Borchers opted to be a bit more specific in what would be an acceptable result for his team.
"For us, we'd like to come home with a win, that would be fantastic. If we get a draw, that'd be OK," said Borchers. "If we go down a goal, or go down two goals, all right, we're still going to be OK. We're coming back home, going to play in Rio Tinto, our home stadium. We always play well there. I don't think we're going to be very concerned either way."
Historically in the MLS Cup playoffs, the higher-seeded team, or the one opening on the road and closing at home, have advanced more often. But with RSL, that stat is reversed – the Claret-and-Cobalt have gone 5-1 in playoff series in which they have been the lower seed, included their run to the 2009 title as the No. 8 seed.
Borchers, however, isn't one to buy into that trend too much.
"I think when the mindset changes, when we go away first, it doesn't change much for us," the defender explained. "We are still going to play the same way. We are going to play aggressive, we are going to try to push the tempo, we're going to try to get a goal, and we are going to hope for the best result possible."

Obscure Disasters Can Pose Major RisksMonday, May 23rd, 2011
With the Japan earthquake, frequent hurricanes, and massive tornadoes, many are wondering if we should expect more and bigger disasters. Major disasters by their very nature are unpredictable, which further enforces the need to imagine worst-case scenarios when implementing or rehearsing disaster response efforts.
The effect of some disasters, such as floods and hurricanes, can be minimized by advanced planning. For instance, governments can build levees and coastal swamp areas can be left undeveloped to provide natural flood protection. If the origins of a disaster come from beyond our planet or miles under the surface, then prevention is impossible, and preparation and planning are the only possible means of recourse.
Solar Flares are a known sun phenomena that affect communications on earth. In the past, such interruptions were temporary and were limited to certain types of devices and services. However, scientists who study solar storm patterns now contend that the severity of storms is cyclical and we are now entering an intense phase.
- NASA officials have equated a large solar storm to a "bolt of lightning" that could damage electronics and communications' equipment around the globe.
- Solar flares dramatically change the earth's magnetic field, which could cause serious consequences for satellites, computers, handheld devices and myriad other items.
- If international power grids fail, potential losses are estimated to be in the trillions.
- Solar storms are monitored by the appropriately named Space Weather Prediction Center, which is run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Make sure you're prepared for each type. On the west coast, scientists are concerned about what they refer to as an ARKstorm, a massive storm that dumps rain on California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada for up to two weeks straight. The storms pull so much heat and moisture, that they develop "atmospheric rivers." Such rainfall amounts would produce massive flooding in the California central valley and in major metropolitan areas. It would simply be a case of too much water with nowhere to go.
- Such a storm is based upon historical precedent, with winter rains in 1861 and 1862 leaving some parts of central California completely impassable. In San Francisco, nearly 30 inches of rain was reported.
- The USGS offers a video titled "This is ARKstorm" that some might consider to be a little over the top. But it does clearly describe the possible effects.
- Projected damage estimates are pegged at several hundred billion dollars.
"Yellowstone Caldera" might sound like the latest trendy micro-brew. But it actually refers to a potential "super volcano" that could erupt in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone sits on a "hotspot," which is an area where molten mantle rock moves towards the surface over time. As it moves closer, it can become trapped, and needs release of pressure to prevent catastrophic explosions.
- The latest eruption occurred only 640,000 years ago, which is a very long time compared to a human lifetime, but a relatively recent event geologically speaking.
- Half of the United States could be covered in ash.
- Global cooling would result from atmospheric sun-blocking particles, restricting agriculture and leading to food shortages.
The existence of such mega-disasters underscores the broader point of knowing there are various risks and that it is necessary to do your best to plan ahead and prepare for unforeseen contingencies. While you certainly shouldn't live your life in a potential state of abject fear, it is important to take time to consider the unknown.

Connecticut man drives wrong way on Massachusetts Turnpike for 11 miles
GRAFTON, Mass. -- An 87-year-old Connecticut man who drove the wrong way on the Massachusetts Turnpike for about 11 miles was not cited but may lose his license.
Massachusetts State Police say they got several calls about a wrong-way driver on the highway at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
Authorities say Thaddeus Satkowski of Staffordville, Conn., got on the highway in Auburn and drove east in the westbound lanes, in the shoulder next to the high-speed lane, for about 11 miles, before he was stooped in Grafton.
The Telegram & Gazette reports that a trooper driving east parallel to the wrong-way driver until he was able to get his attention.
Police say Satkowski was not cited, but state police have contacted for the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles to have his license revoked.

What I saw of BKK was a vibrant WEALTHY city, especially compared to the capitals of any of its neighboring countries (with the possible exception of Kuala Lampur). I saw people driving nice cars, wearing nice clothes, few beggers. I know these schools can pay at least 400 BHT one hour easily, and I do not live there.

So catchy, it's almost scary
Starting at
Get the world's most popular domain

Find available domains with these new extensions.
So what all do you get?
Why choose GoDaddy?
With 80+ million domains under management, we have more experience than anyone. We'll make sure you find the right domain and that it's got a secure home online.
Keep your domain locked & in your name.
Let's say you forget to renew your domain. Or you change the email address on your GoDaddy account. This is all it takes for someone to step in and transfer your domain name away without your permission.
But put Business Protection to work on your most important domain names and they'll be safe for up to 12 months.
Business Protection:
Blocks both accidental and malicious domain transfers.
Keeps your personal details hidden from snoops and crooks.
Publishes an online business card so customers and partners can find you.
How do I search for a domain name?Simply enter the web address you want to register into the search box. If the name you entered has already been registered, we'll list any available alternatives. If the domain is available, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration process.
Can I get help to find a domain?Absolutely! GoDaddy's domain name search tool can assist you by offering suggestions and other alternatives to any domain you look for.
Is there a limit on how long or short my domain can be?Typically, there is a limit to a domain length, with the minimum being 1 character and the maximum being 63 characters. Ideally, you want your domain name to accurately reflect your brand, whether it's personal or business-oriented. We provide some guidelines for picking out a great domain name.
How do I check if a domain is available?
1. To check if a domain name is available, just type it in GoDaddy's search bar and we'll tell you immediately if it's already owned by someone else.
2. If it's taken, you can search for your domain name using our WHOIS Lookup.
3. Or try our Domain Broker Service, where we can negotiate acquiring the domain from its current owner.
We also offer a Domain Backorder service, where you purchase a backorder credit to give you a chance to get the domain you want when it goes to auction.
Can I purchase any domain extension?A handful of domains will have restrictions on them, which means you can only purchase them if you meet or exceed certain criteria or have authorization (some examples are .gov, .edu and .mil). But most extensions are available to everyone. In fact, most country code Top Level Domains ccTLDs are available for anyone to purchase, even if you don't reside in the country code in question.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"" - John Mayer
I stumbled upon this quote last night and really like it. I also like the color cerulean. It's pretty.
I wish I had a box of crayons and giant coloring book right now.

In a fortnight I'm off on my holidays to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. This came about after my mum died last year and I decided to do my family tree. As reported elsewhere on this forum, I got lots of help from Gizmo about my great uncles, one who was killed in Gallipoli in WW1 and his brother who was killed as a POW when building that bridge. After discovering all that I knew and recalled about my childhood knowledge and knowing the pain of my gran and great grandmother, I resolved to be the first in my family to visit my uncle's grave in Thailand.
Although we will be staying in Bangkok, we will be visiting the cemetery for a day, about 2 hours away, in Kanchanaburi. Has anyone been there? Did you find it easy to find the grave and did you organise it before you went?
Any information would be very gratefully received, thanks.

There are over 2,000 species of scorpion known to exist on every continent except Antarctica. Every species is venomous; however, within the continental United States, most are not seriously harmful to humans.
There is one significant exception to this rule — the Arizona bark scorpion, which is found throughout the Sonoran desert, can cause serious injury, including severe pain, convulsions and difficulty breathing. Thousands of people are stung by the bark scorpion each year, although since 1968 the state of Arizona has recorded only two fatalities.
While a scorpion bite isn't likely to be fatal, it can be painful enough that scorpion management is necessary, particularly in the Southwest where the insects are most prevalent. Luckily, there are a few steps homeowners can take to control scorpions in the home:
The Safer® Brand family of products contains a number of spider control products. If you're worried about the effects of traditional pesticides, you're not alone. Consumer awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals on your garden, pets or family has been growing in recent years, and many are-
seeking out ways to organically kill spiders and other common pests. In our online store you'll find a number of products that are OMRI® Listed and USDA approved for organic gardening. Our products are made of ingredients that are easily broken down by nature and can be used on fruits and vegetables, shrubs, flowers and houseplants.
Very few spiders are dangerous to humans, and many are actually beneficial to gardens as they like to feast on common pests such as beetles, wasps and mealworms. That being said, spiders have voracious appetites and can quickly colonize a garden if left unchecked, resulting in a dearth of other beneficial insects.
Of course, the most common reason for spider insect control is that most people just don't like them. Arachnophobia is one of the most common fears, affecting to some degree 55% of women and 18% of men. If fear of spiders is preventing you from spending time outside, the use of an organic spider deterrent can give you the peace of mind needed to reclaim your backyard, so you can get back to gardening, barbequing and other outdoor activities.
Diatomaceous earth, or DE, is one of our spider killers. Safer® Brand DE products for spider insect control contain a bait formula, luring insects in and allowing the DE to do its work. When spiders come in contact with DE, they are killed either by ingestion or dehydration within 48 hours.
Safer® Brand Diatomaceous Earth is a way to control spiders in your home and yard. OMRI Listed® and USDA approved for organic production, this product can be used indoors and out. Made from DE sourced exclusively from fresh water, it is also effective against several other common pests, including bedbugs, roaches and silverfish.
We offer a number of other spider control products, including spider spray. If you have a problem with spiders in your home or yard, Safer® Brand can help. Check out our full line of spider and insect killers today!

Potato Cigarette Borek
(Patatesli Sigara Böreği)
5 sheets Phyllo Pastry
4 medium-size yellow potatoes, boiled, mashed
1 medium sized onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp red pepper, ground
On Top:
1 egg yolk
1 tsp Nigella seeds
Saute the onion with butter. Add in the warm mashed potatoes and the rest of the filling ingredients, then mix.
Place two sheets on top of each other on the counter and position them vertically. Cut them in four strips from top to bottom. Put some filling on the bottom side of each sheet. Leave some space around all ends (picture). Then roll up each one, do not squeeze! Soak the open end in water and close it up. Fold the 5th pastry around. If you have more filling use a 6th sheet of pastry.
Place parchment paper on an oven tray and arrange the Borek with the folded side facing down. Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle some Nigella seeds all over.
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Bake for 15-18 minutes until the tops take a golden colour.
Serve as an appetizer or as a supper treat with Turkish Tea.

Judge Rules Interns Should Have Been Paid
A major pro-artist and pro-student legal decision was handed down yesterday, pertaining specifically to unpaid internships. This is a must-read for art galleries and private art institutions.
A Federal District Court judge in Manhattan ruled on Tuesday that Fox Searchlight Pictures had violated federal and New York minimum wage laws by not paying production interns.
According to the NY Times, "Judge William H. Pauley III forcefully called for following criteria that the Department of Labor has laid out for unpaid internships. Those rules say unpaid internships should not be to the immediate advantage of the employer, the work must be similar to vocational training given in an educational environment, the experience must be for the benefit of the intern and the intern's work must not displace that of regular employees."
Keep in mind that nonprofit organizations are not automatically exempt from internship regulations. Generally speaking, nonprofits may have volunteers so long as the volunteers do not replace or augment paid staff to do the work of paid staff. Additionally, nonprofits may have student interns so long as certain criteria are met. More info on nonprofit internships via a PDF, here.
The U.S. Department of Labor has a concise sheet on internship programs under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which I've made available via PDF format, here.
