Harry Sandler exhibit to benefit 1MattersWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Volunteer organization 1Matters announced plans May 16 for "1Walks — 1Rocks — 1Matters," a one-day spectacle on Oct. 9. The event includes a one-mile walk, a nine-hour concert (lineup TBA) and a photography exhibit from Harry Sandler that will run from Oct. 9-30.
"The thing that I think is so cool about 1Matters is it's just people who give a rip," founder and formerly unhoused man turned comedian Ken Leslie said. "We give people the opportunity to get involved. We are not trying to recruit or trying to save the world. What we are doing is changing lives one at a time."
Sandler, a 45-year veteran of the entertainment industry, will donate 30-45 pieces of art from his life on tour in rock 'n' roll and through landscapes he came across on his travels. All proceeds from "Harry Sandler: Childhood and Other Neighborhoods" will be donated to the 1Matters foundation, which works to change the perception of the homeless, or unhoused, to reflect reality.
"It's important from a personal standpoint," Sandler said. "I always felt like an inch this way or an inch that way and I could have been on the street. I also feel that there's not enough done in a global way to take care of people that lose everything and end up on the street — not always because of their own doing. There are a lot of factors that come into play on a lot of levels."
Sandler began his career as a photographer in the 1960s, hired by Rolling Stone, Circus and record companies to capture musicians in New York including the Rolling Stones, The Who, Harry Chapin and others.
He left photography in 1976 and served in roles including tour manager as well as film and video producer during the next 35 years for artists such as the Eagles, Van Halen, Jewel, Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Springsteen and Barbara Streisand.
While on tour, Sandler continued to pursue photography on the side, a hobby he began when he was just 8 years old after he received a Polaroid camera for his birthday.
"I was immediately intoxicated with image making," Sandler said.
"As time went on I spent many days learning the technical aspects of photography, but was always attracted to the alternative look at life through the lens of a camera."
Sandler has also been at the forefront for the artistic movement in iPhone photography. After getting his first iPhone three years ago, Sandler began to transfer those pictures onto canvas. He is also planning on instructing a class on "iPhoneology" in the future, with all proceeds going to 1Matters.
"This process is groundbreaking," Leslie said. "Putting pictures from the iPhone onto canvas, he's probably the first to do it and he's the only one with access to be able to produce these different images. Anyone who is a fan of rock 'n' roll can come down and find a beautiful new image of their favorites."
Leslie first met Sandler when he was in Canada to meet with John Mellencamp, who he worked with at the time. Mellencamp had interest in helping 1Matters with some public service announcements and that interest spread to Sandler.
"We got to talking and he had seen my photography and over the next few weeks went back and forth," Sandler said. "We decided we should do something here for the organization that involved the combination of my fine-art photography and the musical acts I captured over the last 30-40 years.
"The last few years on the road with John Mellencamp, I would get up early every morning at sunrise and look around for images to capture. The world is a very simple, yet complex neighborhood to capture in an image. This is the challenge, and this is the victory."
Leslie alluded that the interest from both Mellencamp and Sandler in 1Matters has already made its impact in the music community, which will soon bring others in to assist.
"They will be creating something that the entire music industry can rally behind," Leslie said. "We will be making more announcements in the next 30 days of other artists that are getting engaged on the campaign."

The New Jersey Nets, reportedly unhappy with Devin Harris' play, are shopping the point guard to the Portland Trail Blazers, according to the Bergen Record.
The Nets reportedly are looking at some combination of Andre Miller, Joel Przybilla and Rudy Fernandez. Miller's contract is not guaranteed for next season, Przybilla's deal is expiring and Fernandez has a bargain contract at $2.1 million next season and $3.1 the following season in the form of a qualifying offer.
The Blazers are interested in Anthony Morrow while the Nets would also like to jettison disappointing free agent signing Travis Outlaw, who started his NBA career in Portland.
One hurdle in dealing Harris could be the recent reports that talks between the Nets and Nuggets have been reignited. It is possible Harris would be needed to make a deal for Carmelo Anthony work.

Rebecca (Becky) L. Schaumberg joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations in September 2013. She teaches "Management and Organizational Analysis."
Professor Schaumberg's research focuses on the individual and intergroup characteristics that promote and impede people's leadership success. She asks the following types of questions in her research: (1) How might a tendency to feel guilt for everyday mistakes influence how hard people work and how effectively they lead? (2) How does a desire to feel moral affect the resource allocation decisions that leaders make? (3) How do women overcome negative gender stereotypes to obtain leadership positions?
Professor Schaumberg's research has been published in leading management and psychology journals including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the Journal of Applied Psychology. It has also been covered by a variety of media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, the BBC and Forbes.

Nagoya Grampus notched their first AFC Champions League win of the season with a thumping 4-0 home victory over ten-man Al Ain today.
Midfielder Mu Kanazaki scored twice to give the J-League champions a much-needed three points at the Mizuho Athletic Stadium, in a game rearranged from 15 March following Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
The home side started brightly, with midfielder Yoshizumi Ogawa hitting the bar in the third minute before Kanazaki opened the scoring in the 27th minute - only Nagoya's second goal in this year's competition.
Al Ain came close to an immediate reply a minute later when an unmarked Elias received the ball just outside the box, but his shot sailed wide.
A Kanazaki header doubled Nagoya's lead in first-half injury time before Al Ain midfielder Brahima Keita turned the ball into his own net on 61 minutes.
There was more misery to come for the United Arab Emirates side as defender Fares Al Saadi was sent off for bringing down Jungo Fujimoto just outside the area after 76 minutes. The midfielder picked himself up to curl the resulting free-kick left-footed into the net.
After losing 2-0 away to China PR's Hangzhou Greentown and drawing at home against FC Seoul, Nagoya coach Dragan Stojkovic said he was pleased with the improvement in his side's performance.
"It was important for the team to show our character and we proved that we have the quality with our good play," he said.
Next up for Nagoya is a testing trip to group leaders Seoul, unbeaten in three Champions League fixtures so far this season, while Al Ain play Hangzhou at home. Both matches are scheduled for 19 April.

Project financing with alternative capital takes different forms depending upon the project's industry, the maturity of the project and the client's preferences. This type of financing is for high quality projects with substantial assets that are short of capital and it can be arranged at a favorable price without the client being required to give up any ownership of their company.
What is Alternative Capital?
Alternative capital is capital obtained from funders other than banks and other traditional sources of financing. The alternative capital market was largely brought about by the cataclysmic events that hit the world financial markets beginning in 2008. Large depositors (institutional investors and large private wealth with idle cash) fled from banks and other traditional institutions. This money was replaced by central bank intervention quantitative easing) and the result is banks are now no longer good sources of financing for the average borrower. The banks have become financial casinos" more interested in their own proprietary trading, funding out-of-control government spending through the purchase of "safe" government securities, etc. than performing their traditional role of making loans to companies and individuals who have deserving projects.
The amount of alternative capital in the world is huge but it is very private and in many cases is virtually anonymous. However, its owners are looking for opportunities to employ their capital in ways that avoid the ever increasing risks of the ongoing sovereign and equity market concerns which keep bringing further destabilization in the world's capital markets. The world's funding landscape has changed forever and now the alternative capital era is a constantly evolving process of identifying where the owners of alternative capital are located and assisting the owners of that money in placing it into worthy projects.
Advantages of Alternative Capital
Uses for Alternative Capital
All projects must have equity invested in them and a sufficient amount of fixed assets that can be verified with reputable third party evaluation. In some cases, a large amount of excess assets will reduce the equity requirements. A high quality Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or Off-Take agreement may also reduce the equity requirements.
Due Diligence
A thorough due diligence process is required to determine which financing option best fits a particular project. Applicants need to have good quality information available such as a business plan, financial modeling, engineering information, etc.Time to Close
Minimum Project Size
The absolute minimum size project we accept for alternative capital financing is $50 Million. Please Contact Us and we will be glad to answer your questions.
Reminders for Submitting a Project
accountants, etc. They work for you; make sure they are not only doing a good job but are responsive to everyone's needs.

61. 30/30 (universal)
It's easy enough to ignore a to-do when it's lurking somewhere in the background on your Mac or PC, but on an iPad, 30/30's crystal-clear events (including optional repeating loops for work/break cycles) can't be so easily dismissed. Fortunately, it looks great and the tactile interface makes creating and removing items a joy.
62. Paper By FiftyThree
There's a certain train of thought that apps shouldn't ape real-world items, but we dismiss such talk. They just shouldn't ape real-world items badly! Paper by FiftyThree gets this right, with beautiful sketchbooks in which you can scribble, then share across the web. Books and the pen tool are free, and other tools are available via In-App Purchase.
63. Telegraph pictures for iPad
Rather like the Guardian Eyewitness app, Telegraph Pictures for iPad provides you with new imagery on a daily basis. In fact, The Telegraph's rather more generous than The Guardian, offering a dozen new photographs every 24 hours, and leaving a 14-day archive for you to explore at any time.
64. Sticky Notes for iPad
If you're a fan of sticky notes, but not the sticky nor the waste, Sticky Notes for iPad provides you with the means to bung colourful rectangular notes on your iPad's screen, even dictating the text should you wish. Just don't have someone think they can't get the note off and then attack your device with a scourer.
65. Architizer
There are two levels to this beautifully designed app directed at architects and anyone else with an interest in buildings. On entry, you can select projects from a grid that's updated in real-time. Photography can then be explored full-screen. However, you can also dig deeper, finding out more about each project and who designed it.
66. Pinterest (universal)
Social network Pinterest is one of the very few to challenge the big guns in the industry. It provides a means to find and share inspiration, working as a place to collect and organise the things you love. The iPad app has an elegant interface that pushes inspirational imagery to the fore, just as it should.
67. National Rail Enquiries for iPad
For anyone commuting by train, National Rail Enquiries is a handy app to have installed. There's journey planning, timetables and a location-aware 'next train home' option, along with progress tracking, so you can see when a train's likely to show up. Note that you'll need a 3G iPad or Wi-Fi to use the app.
68. Quark DesignPad
One for the graphic designers out there, desktop publishing giant Quark's DesignPad is an astonishingly useful app for figuring out layouts on the move, or knocking about ideas in meetings. Plenty of ready-made documents can give you a head-start, and your finished work can be exported as a PNG or emailed for use in a QuarkXPress document.
69. Gmail (universal)
Because of its single-app nature and big screen, the iPad's become a tool many people prefer to a PC or Mac for email. However, if you're reliant on Gmail, Apple's own Mail is insufficient, not providing access to your entire archive nor Gmail's features. Google's own app deals with such shortcomings and looks as good as Apple's client.
70. Solar Walk: Saturn (universal)
Really, this is a promotional app for Solar Walk, but what a piece of promotion it is! There's a ton of information and interactive components that concentrate on perhaps the most fascinating of planets in our solar system, and it looks particularly impressive on a Retina iPad.
71. Netbot for App.net
App.net is a bit like Twitter, only it eschews adverts, has a subscription fee, and is hugely keen to attract (rather than repel) developers. Netbot is one of the finest clients for the service (having been created by the team responsible for the excellent Tweetbot, which it mirrors), and it's free.
72. Cloze (universal)
If you ever have one of those conversations where a friend swears blind they did reply, you say you didn't get the email, and they sheepishly mutter "on Facebook", Cloze is for you. It bungs all your social communications (email, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) into a single inbox and also prioritises people who you most often deal with. It's a great time-saver.
73. Haiku Deck
If we're honest, we rather liked the original version of Haiku Deck, which stripped back presentations, only enabling you to add to each slide a single image, a heading and a sub-heading. The minimalism's gone (Haiku Deck now includes charts, graphs, bulleted lists and other 'improvements'), but it's still fun and easy to use, which is the main thing.
74. Tumblr (universal)
Tumblr has a perfectly serviceable mobile presence, but the Tumblr iPad app gives you a more tablet-oriented interface for using the site. It's therefore a cinch to manage your blogs, post new entries and reply to messages on your iPad. Additionally, there's also offline support, enabling you to queue posts, likes, replies and reblogs without a web connection.
75. Homestyler
In the professional world, Autodesk is best known for high-end 3D products: Maya, 3ds Max, AutoCAD. On the iPad, the company's been using its 3D smarts to churn out interesting consumer-focussed 3D tools. Homestyler enables you to photograph a room, then paint colours on the walls and add furniture, light fittings and accessories.
76. Podcasts (universal)
Podcasts was once one of those Apple apps that people looked at in disbelief, wondering whether anyone at the company had ever really used it. Now, it's a different beast: the interface is slick, and you can create custom stations that auto-update across iCloud, and on-the-go playlists with custom episode lists.
77. Calorie Counter HD
The iPhone version of Calorie Counter is a great way of ensuring you're not eating for several, but the HD iPad release takes things to a whole new level. The extra space enables the interface to breathe, providing plenty of room for charts, calorie breakdowns and interaction with fellow dieters.
78. Google Drive (universal)
It's curious to think how rapidly Microsoft made Office irrelevant to so many. Most people just want a simple app for documents and spreadsheets, and that (along with a storage repository) is precisely what Google Drive provides. Like Dropbox, it's also possible to store documents locally, for when you've no web connection.
79. Fotopedia Wild Friends (universal)
iPad displays have always been a fantastic way to explore photography (especially the newer Retina models). Fotopedia Wild Friends is one for nature lovers, packed with thousands of stunning images taken during hundreds of missions in dozens of countries. Being a conservation initiative, the photography's also backed with interactive maps, stories and information.
80. PlainText (universal)
The iPhone incarnation of PlainText is good for the odd bit of note-taking, but on the iPad PlainText is transformed into a minimal but highly usable writing tool with Dropbox sync. The lack of clutter provides a real sense of focus - even the single iAd is hidden from view once the on-screen keyboard appears.
81. Box (universal)
There's no traditional file system in iOS, but the likes of Box can act as a close equivalent, along with enabling cross-device/platform sync. Here, you get 10 GB of free storage, albeit less direct integration with iOS apps than rival Dropbox provides. Still, files are easily shared and opened, and there's a photo-upload option from the iOS Camera Roll, handy for getting snaps from your shiny new iPhone 7 (when it launches) to your iPad.
82. Groove (universal)
If you've a large music collection, it can sometimes be difficult to decide what to listen to next. Groove tries to figure out your listening habits and cross-references your collection with Last.fm data. The result is constantly evolving automatic personalised playlists that might just change your iPad music-listening habits for good.
83. Amazon Cloud Player (universal)
It seems every major player in media must have a cloud music service these days, and Amazon's no exception. The Amazon Cloud Player app is smartly designed, enabling you to easily switch between content stored on your Amazon account and music stored on your device. You can also download from the former to the latter.
84. Mailbox (universal)
If the Gmail app isn't doing it for you, Mailbox is a more than capable alternative. It's clean and efficient, and boasts plenty of time-saving tools. Messages can be swiped to archives and the trash, or snoozed until later, automatically returning to your inbox when asked. You can also attach files from a Dropbox account.
85. GarageBand (universal)
Apple's GarageBand turns your iPad into a recording studio. Previously a paid app, GarageBand now has a freemium model. For no charge, you get full access to its features, including a range of smart instruments, MIDI editing and song arrangement. The only limitation is that relatively few instruments are included, but more are available via IAP.
86. Amazon/LOVEFiLM Instant (universal)
Much like Netflix, LOVEFiLM enables you to subscribe and then stream TV shows and movies from the cloud. Quite a lot of them are bargain-bin fodder, but the range continues to grow. Pleasingly, Amazon also enables you to stream whatever you're watching to an Apple TV via AirPlay.
87. Sequential
We've elsewhere mentioned Comics, but Sequential has a slightly different take on the medium. It's an altogether more upmarket affair, aimed at graphic novels and collections of sequential art that are supposed to be taken seriously. Therefore, this isn't so much everything but the kitchen sink, but a repository for a carefully curated selection of some of the best comics ever created.
88. Snapseed (universal)
Apple's Photos app has editing capabilities, but they're not terribly exciting — especially when compared to Snapseed. Here, you select from a number of effect types and proceed to pinch and swipe your way to a transformed image. It's a fun tool, but there's plenty of control for anyone determined to get their photos just so.
89. Flayvr (universal)
Flayvr is pretty interesting, in that it claims to make sense of a huge collection of digital pictures. It tries to automatically organise your photos and videos into events and build albums from them. Perhaps surprisingly, it frequently succeeds. Albums can then be browsed, shared privately, or sent on to a social network.
90. GroupMe (universal)
Although it's technically an instant messaging app, GroupMe comes across more like a mini-Facebook, but just for your friends. It has feeds, the means to 'like' posts, and private messaging. It's media-savvy, too, enabling you to post videos and photos, the latter being automatically turned into galleries you can browse from a sidebar.

You can greatly increase the chance of Wells Fargo loan modification approval by understanding how to complete the monthly budget worksheet page of the application form. Most homeowners do not know how important this information is, and that it will usually make or break the chances of loan mod approval. Once you understand just how to prepare your own monthly budget, then you will greatly increase your chances of success.
Wells Fargo loan modifications are only given to the homeowners who can prove in black and white on their application that they fit right into the approval guidelines. These guidelines include your monthly budget worksheet information:
- Gross monthly income
- Monthly expenses & current cash flow
- Assets-bank accounts, etc.
Unfortunately, Wells Fargo will decline your loan modification if your monthly income is too low or even it is too high. Your monthly expenses must also fit into the guidelines and your assets must pass too. This is
confusing to try to figure out by yourself, so it's not surprising that most homeowners get it all wrong. You can avoid mistakes by running your own figures through the Loan Mod Quick APP calculator to see if you are passing, and where you may need to make adjustments to your budget.
Since every homeowner who applies for a Wells Fargo loan modification is asked to prepare the monthly budget worksheet, it makes sense to learn how to complete yours correctly so that it proves you are a good candidate. Your financial information will be put through this calculation by the bank, and if you pass all of the triggers then you have a very good chance of getting your loan mod approved.
Even if you have already been turned down for a Wells Fargo loan modification, you can resubmit an updated monthly budget worksheet and get a second chance at approval. Just be sure that this time you know ahead of time how to adjust your figures so that you have a good chance at approval. This is just a matter of math, so once you know and use the formula for approval you can feel confident and reapply the right way.
Get help to complete your Wells Fargo loan modification monthly budget worksheet-use the #1 resource for homeowners, The Complete Loan
Modification Guide kit and Loan Mod Quick APP software. This step by step guide provides forms and a sample monthly budget is automatically generated for you to follow. Visit MyLoanModificationCenter.com for more information today.

By Amy Loeffler
Lolcats aren't the first cat-based humor craze. (Never heard of the online phenomenon? Go here.) In the late '70s Steve Martin got big laughs recounting tales of his embezzling kitty-cat. In the act he recast these slinky, aloof creatures as scheming, material girls sick for cat toys. According to the comedy routine, Martin's cat-gone-wild racks up thousands of dollars worth of nonreturnable cat booty while posing as a feline version of Martin himself: "So now I'm stuck with $3,000 worth of cat toys," Martin laments in his monologue.
Cats may dream of being conspicuous consumers and indulging in kitty amusements like chasing dancing laser pointer dots, catching tickly feathers on a string, and inhaling herbaceous, heady catnip, but in tough economic times these extras may temporarily get stricken from the budget, embezzlement or not!
Luxuries large or small may take a back seat to basics like healthcare right now, but when it comes to keeping your cat healthy and purring like a champion, there are still ways to trim the fat. Specifically, you may be wondering what the best ways are to stretch your pet's healthcare dollars at the vet. RedPlum has a few suggestions for spreading around the wealth in lean times. Here are the items you may be able to cut out:
Amy Lewis, D.V.M. at Falls Village Animal Hospital knows that prioritizing family monies can be difficult when finances fall short of actual expenses. "My best recommendation is for any owner that is having financial constraints to have a frank and honest conversation with their veterinarian in discussing options and priorities of treatment for their pet. Only within the individual patient-client-doctor relationship can the best decisions be made for the pet."

Abe finds out that the jet hasn't made radio contact, the passengers slowly lose oxygen and John saves Steve's life!
Abe is at Salem PD and Lexi tells Abe about her call last night from Hope. She says Colleen passed on and she nervously wonders when the Bradys will return. She tried to call them but seems alarmed that nobody's picking up their cell phones. Abe shrugs that they probably can't get a signal but promises to check their flight plan and get an estimated arrival. He notes how concerned she is and he's glad they're on their way home. Lexi flashes back to the news regarding Bo's test results. Just before Chelsea and Stephanie walk in the door, Lexi says she hopes it's not too late. Chelsea asks, "Too late for what?" They too are there to find out when the family is getting in from Ireland, so Abe makes the call to find out. Chelsea notices Lexi's preoccupation and asks what's up but Lexi brushes her off with an uneasy smile. Abe has found out that the family will be there later this evening.
On the jet, the family shivers with cold as they try on their oxygen masks. Since most of them don't work, John dryly comments they're not all going to make it. They've less than two hours until they'll run out of oxygen. Shawn Sr. shares his mask with Hope and Bo and when Bo becomes dizzy, John tells them there is not enough oxygen to go around in the time they have left. Chloe asks how they're going to decide who gets the oxygen. Steve says the baby and women get masks but Marlena, Kayla and Hope refuse. They want to share the masks. Hope and Chloe become nauseated. John refuses to share his mask as he needs to fly the plane. Steve wonders if he can be some help since he used to be good at hotwiring cars, but he refuses help from Philip and Shawn. He tells them to take care of the ladies. Kayla flashes back to the day she and Steve may have conceived and the day she decided to wait to tell Steve she was pregnant. She says, "I should have told Steve." Marlena asks, "Told him what?" Kayla surprises Marlena by telling her she's pregnant. Marlena's advice is not to share her oxygen mask or she'll endanger the baby. Belle starts to worry that John doesn't know what he's doing but Marlena asks her to stay calm. John returns from his jaunt around the plane and calmly tells the family he has no idea what he's looking at! A clock on the lower right hand side of the screen shows 1:29:57 countdown!
Steve makes his way to the cockpit but soon finds out that the oxygen mask does not work. He tries to go to the passenger area of the plane but passes out before he can make it.
In the passenger area, Chloe wonders if planes have backup systems and Philip reassures her they do, but whoever sabotaged the plane knew what they were doing. Kayla becomes frustrated with John as he sits quietly, thinking of his next move. John tells her he needs for people to stop telling him what to do and how to do it but most of all; he's tired of hearing about the guy he used to be. With that, he goes to the cockpit to find a passed out Steve. He considers his options for long moments before he angrily fits his own mask on Steve's face and tells him, "Come on. Breathe or die." He shares the oxygen until he finds a toolbox and starts to fix the other mask.
Out in the passenger seating, Hope urges Shawn Sr. to take the oxygen mask but he refuses and tells her with one last person using it, there will be more oxygen to go around. "I'm the oldest person on this plane. I've lived a long life and made my peace with my sister Colleen. Maybe it's time for me to make peace with God," he tells her. Hope yells at him to take the mask and Bo again urges Pop to do so, so he agrees and takes a few breaths. Bo realizes now is the time to come clean and tells Shawn Sr. and Hope he's sick. Shawn Sr. and Hope are shocked and Bo tells them he may have cancer. He may be dying. Hope weeps and realizes this is the secret he had been keeping. Bo explains he wanted to tell her when he had a definite prognosis. He tells Shawn that he's the reason Kayla and Steve took him to Ireland. Hope sobs as Bo admits he should have told her. He wants them to use all the oxygen and let him go but Shawn refuses this and pushes the oxygen mask at Bo. He forces Hope to breathe as well and when she gives the mask to Shawn Sr., he doesn't take it. Chloe starts hyperventilating again and Philip comforts her. He wants to help Steve, but she doesn't want him to leave her. The passengers are down to 46 minutes of oxygen at this point (as seen in the lower right hand of the screen) when Kayla starts to worry about Steve and comments to Marlena, "What if John is programmed to kill himself?" Shawn D. knows they don't have much more oxygen left and wants to go to the cockpit, but Belle cries out for him not to leave her. Bo gets up to check on Steve and John and a sudden bout of turbulence causes the lights to go out and Bo to be thrown hard into a wall and knocked unconscious. After the turbulence stops, Shawn and Hope get Bo to a seat and Shawn Sr. gives up his oxygen for Bo. He refuses to take more. The passengers have 36 minutes left as the lights return.
In the cockpit, concerned that Steve is dead, John performs CPR him. They now 35 minutes left as John yells at Steve to wake up. Once he regains consciousness, Steve throws John off of him and struggles to breathe. John tells him he has good news and bad news. "Good news is you're breathing again. Bad news is, not for much longer."
In the cabin, Shawn tells Belle they've got to start preparing for the worst. Bo regains consciousness and tells Shawn Sr. to take the oxygen or he'll tie him down and force it on him! They argue and Bo forces the oxygen on him and gives it back to Hope. He says they'll make it through this. Belle starts flashing back to her and Shawn's discussion about starting their life anew. She professes her deep and abiding love for Shawn and says she's never loved anyone the way she loves him, with her heart and soul. Marlena urges Kayla to have faith and Kayla comments that her pregnancy proves that anything can happen. Marlena thinks someday she'll have an incredible story to tell her baby about this flight. Meanwhile, Shawn Sr., Hope and Bo continue to share their oxygen, but Bo asks Hope to let him go. Hope bawls and they've only 30 minutes to go when Hope hands the mask to Shawn Sr. who begs her to let him save his son.
Back at Salem PD, Chelsea says she has spoken with Billie, who says she's thrilled to be in London and has a nice little flat. Lexi is happy to hear and sends her best through Chelsea. Abe takes a call from Air Traffic Control and tells the ladies the jet hasn't made radio contact.
Next on Days Of Our Lives:
Hope asks Kayla to tell her what's wrong with Bo. "Is he going to die?"
Abe tells Caroline and Max, "The plane just went off radar." Caroline cries out, "Dear God!"
John yells, "This is it!" Steve cries out and we hear screams from all the passengers.

In the past decade, Brit icons like April Bloomfield and Fergus Henderso (of London's St. John), have transformed English food from punch line into powerhouse cuisine. Jason Hicks and Yves Jadot—the pair behind popular uptown gastropub Jones Wood Foundry—do their own enlightened version at two spots in midtown's William hotel. While their new haunts are no joke, they don't measure up to the high bar newly set for British fare.
Hicks and Jadot enlisted a chef with a CV that seemed to have a lot of English-food ambition. British chef Robert Aikens brushed up on classical cuisine at London's three-Michelin-starred French temple Le Gavroche, before exploring his homeland's food at the Dandelion, Stephen Starr's upmarket pub in Philadelphia.
At rathskeller the Shakespeare, Aikens's suds-soaking classics are neither fussy nor slapdash. Ye olde knickknacks on the walls match dishes that don't purport to be au courant, like Lincolnshire haslet ($13), a well-salted slab of pork terrine laced with liver and bacon. The low-ceilinged rooms of worn wood act as refuge for the after-work crowd, like a biz-cas Where's Waldo? spread, with pints of cask ale clinking at the humming bar and in the dining room across the hall.
Waits between courses make airport security look like the 100-meter dash. Steel yourself for the lull with ample pork fat, like a crackly, tender-yolked Scotch egg ($8), or peppery Cumberland bangers and creamy mash ($19) painted dark and sweet with onion gravy. As the stretch before your main expands, tilt back another pint. Patience is rewarded by flaky cod ($24) cocooned in beer batter as crunchy as fallen leaves; too bad the accompanying chips billed as "triple-cooked" are woefully soft—a far cry from the crisp, "thrice-cooked" beauties at the Breslin.
Like any English pub worth its salt, the Shakespeare is a place to stumble upon sober and hungry, and stumble out of drunk and full. But in a city where the gastropub fever peaked a few years back, it's more a boon to midtowners than destination dining.
Meal highlights: Lincolnshire haslet, Scotch egg, fish-and-chips, bangers and mash, sticky toffee pudding
Behind the bar: Thanks to a high-volume bar, the three cask ales are rotated frequently, complementing a roster of English drafts that features breweries like Greene King and Wells and Young's.
Vibe: Come for a beer-fueled adrenaline release after work or a mellower, late dinner.
Cocktail chatter: If you look worthy (or are a celebrity), the management might select you for the snug, a private room with a sliding hatch through which the bartenders pass your beers.
Soundcheck: "Werewolves of London" growls on the stereo, while wolves of Wall Street shout at the bar.

A West Ashley couple was arrested after police said they were spotted inhaling computer duster canisters at a downtown Charleston hotel Tuesday night.
Allan Riley Holmes Jr., 34, and Katharine Lyon Holmes, 30, both of Chadwick Drive were charged with use of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Police said they were spotted inhaling canisters in the foyer of the Mills House Inn on Meeting Street about 8 p.m. Tuesday. Guests walking on the sidewalk outside the hotel could see the couple through a window apparently huffing, and a police officer observed them inhaling canisters of Blow Off Computer Duster, according to the incident report. The two were hunched over a table breathing erratically and laughing when an officer arrived, and two canisters were confiscated from them, according to the report.
Allan Holmes had a bandage on his forehead and had been involved in a wreck before they were arrested, according to the report. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation before he was booked into the Charleston County jail.

Anyone out there who bought furniture from Bob's Furniture who is having a problem with it? I bought a livingroom set from them and it fell apart within 3 months and they refuse to exchange it or give me my money back. I heard a lot of bad things about them, but I was stupid enough to fall for their crappy ads. Anyone out there as stupid as me?

I'm not stupid enough to buy anything referred to as a "living room set," no. Sounds like something purchased in installments from Fingerhut. Of course it fell apart.
Oh, geesh!! Is that THE Bob's Furniture that they frequently advertise on the radio? If so(no doubt it could very well be), their advertising sounds too, too good to be true! A good outfit to keep away from, in my opinion.
O.K. YES, BOB'S FURNITURE IS EXTREMELY SHADY!! Stay away!! Stay away!! Stay away!! Stay away!!!!!!!! I bought furniture at Jordan's a few years ago and found out we overpayed through our teeth, so this time we decided to get what we thought was a "bargain." First of all, I think Bob's misrepresents their showroom furniture. In the store the stuff looks pretty good, and you think you are getting "quality". WRONG! Got it delivered...what a huge peice of crap!! NEVER EVER BUY NO NAME BRAND FURNITURE!!! Buy a reputable brand from a real furniture store. Again, not a store with fancy entertainment, like Jordan's. I don't need to overpay, so they can have a fancy store. Comparison shop please!!! Also, by the way, Bob's CRAP Furniture store employees are uneducated about furniture. Bob or whoever that guy is doing the commercials, is a moron and so are the people working there. Needless to say, our problems were never resolved and we ended up giving our furniture to a Women's shelter in Boston(but I'm sure it's fallen apart by now) Be educated! Family businesses are generally a good source for furniture. But don't overpay for fancy showrooms and rides and entertainment. I've been burned on both ends! Good Luck!!
Investigate local, family-owned stores. Let your fingers do the walking.
Thanks for the info, everybody!! My decision to stay the hell away from Shady Bob's Furniture has been re-inforced!!

I see those crappy, highly annoying adverts all the time whilst watching Red Sox games on MLB.TV over here in the UK. If that highly irritating peroxide tart who accompanies Bob into the TV studio to cut the adverts ever set foot in England I would hunt her down and finish her. 'No! No! No! Feel the leather! Have a seat!' she say's. 'No no no, feel the calbre, have a seat, get comfortable. Now I'm going to shoot you' I say.

HAHA sorry to hear that they have polluted the British airwaves with their crap, but retail furniture concerns here have a long history of bizarre, if not extremely irritating, commercials. I always thought that Bob's was a Greater Boston establishment until I saw one of their ads while staying with a friend in New York City last February.

I always thought Bob's was a Connecticut thing. Furniture retailers in New England are all messed up. We had Neal in Boston for a long time (whose catchphrase, "I DOUBT IT" has been picked up by Bob) only Neal went bankrupt after he got smacked with fraud charges for falsely advertising "Going Out Of Business" sales. Way to go, Neal!

Are you talking about "Form in Teak". That was a furniture store next to the Middlesex Mall in Burlington for years. I remember it when I was in elementary school and then noticing it after high school (well after the popularity of Scandinavian peaked) thinking "That place is still in business?". Apparently they're still in business. For some reason I associate Scandinavian furniture with unicorns and brown, yellow and orange rainbows (it was right next to Caldor, where my oldest sister worked in the early 1980s).

My daughter bought a dining room set from Bob's and has had nothing but praise for the way she was treated.the table they delivered got scratched in delivery,it was fixed,then there was a propblem with one of the legs it was replaced.then one of the chairs had a flaw.They came in and took the original set back and gave her another one to replace it.My son Fred bought a dining room set from them several years ago and hasn't had a problem with it.Their ads are almost as annoying as Bernie and Phyl's though. Trust in God and sin not.Don't blame me I'm like Sparky I voted for Sarah to.
It sounds like it's a matter of luck. Glad your son and daughter lucked out, Fred.
I have heard a lot of good things about Bernie and Phyls. I may try them next. What does everyone think about them??

While the dog grooming thread should be yanked ASAP imo, this thread starts out with a few ??????????, shares some experience, etc. I do disagree with it though because if you just watch the ads...............

I know the Tamiyasu family only by name, sight and community reputation. But even so Sheriff Joe Wampler's comment as quoted in the Hood River News of Feb. 2 concerning the Taimiyasu complaint about the destruction of private property and their request for reimbursement surprised me. The Sheriff's statement makes the family appear cheap and unappreciative. Perhaps. But exactly in what time frame was the complaint lodged -- before or after the suspicion of foul play?
I suspect that their "complaint" was really a questioning of procedures as they began to realize that Eric's murder investigation had been badly bungled. Then also, probably they, as I do, feel that the murder has been treated as a non-event by the general public and the Hood River News. I am thankful that the Oregonian newspaper brought Eric's murder back to Hood River, if only fleetingly.
In Hood River County, zoning, development and viewscapes arouse more passion and public clamor than murder. Is any of the above important if you are not secure?

As the heating element I used the carbon tape. It looks like a thin, soft cloth and not interfere in a bed.
The carbon tape can be sewed, but instead it can be simply glued. Because of this I did it in just 1 hour!
Step 1:
20 feet of carbon tape 15 mm from www.carbonheater.us, silver conductive wire glue paste, female plug 5.5 mm and iron-on no-sew hem tape. The desired temperature can be determined from the table.
Step 2:
Under the carbon tape to put iron-on hemming web tape.
Gently press the carbon tape with an iron that is stuck to the fabric.
Step 3:
Squeeze between two layers of carbon tape some silver from the syringe, insert the bare wire, squeeze glue place until the glue is completely dry.
Step 4:
Step 5:
Cover with second piece of cloth and gently press the iron over the whole area.
Step 6:
Blanket ready:)
Step 7:
Blanket is a comfortable shelter, but it can also be put on a mattress under a sheet.
Please look at my pictures. In the first photo you can see that the part of the plastic insulation of wires removed and bare wire sewn to the carbon tape. It also shows that in the wire and carbon tape is applied a silver glue. Due of using a silver glue the bare part of wire can be very short. This is the most reliable way to connect.
In the second photo a long bare wire simply sewn to the carbon tape. Silver paste is not used, so a bare part of the wire must be very long. This connection method is very easy to do, but its reliability is not high enough. Over time the copper wire will oxidized and the contact may become unstable.
Unfortunately, your photos does not show how long the bare parts of wire are and if you used a silver glue. Please cut the white threads, open the twisted parts of carbon tape and show us the bare wire.
Yes, I can.
The carbon tape just a heater. It always work when you connect it to
power. So the problems could depend on power supplay, connector and
connections only.
What is the carbon tape lenght?
What is voltage?
On your photo I cannot see connection points. Could you, please, make a macro photo of connections.
Please, vote for us in APOCALYPSE PREPAREDNESS CONTEST:
Just imaging and win $100 US dollars!
Based on this graph (see reference at bottom) and ohms law, the resistance of this carbon tape is 17 Ohms per meter, Because V=I*R 12/.7=17 and the table show .7 amps to flow through 1 meter of tape at 12 Volts.
The resistance of dry skin can as low as 1,000 ohms/Inch, wet-saltiy skin however can be as low as 100 Ohms/Inch. with around 40 inches in a meter the resistance of one meter of wet-salty skin is around 4000 Ohms.
Because the carbon tape has a resistance far lower than that of skin and electricity always takes the path of less resistance human skin could not short out carbon tape.
Also typically a voltage of 50 Volts or greater is needed to shock someone.
Table Reference (http://www.carbonheater.us/images/Current-Length-Temperature.jpg)
Skin Resistance Referance (https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=6793)
I can sometime sweat a lot at night.... wouldn't I get electrocuted one the wet path of my skin had a lower resistance than the carbon tape? With an electric blanket the heating wire is insulated in a liquid proof coating, but this seems to be insulated by just water absorbing cloth.... Thanks so much!
Yes, you should insulate it from your body but I recommend you to test what kind of insulation will be enough.
Yes, you can seal it with a silicone or some waterproof material. I use it even for diving with a dry suit.
If you were to put this inside a metal, titanium, or another type of metal, 3 foot long, 1 inch wide, cylinder would there be any type of complications of it getting extremely hot or melting the metal? Also is there any way of making it waterproof and without melting the metal?
Again and again, I repeat that the carbon tape is a common heating element. It works in exactly the same way as nichrome wire, or any other heating element. Heat transfer of carbon tape at temperatures of 30 - 300 degrees is only 5% higher than nichrome ( but at 500 degrees - 25 % higher).
The main advantage of the carbon tape is its resistance to repeated bending.
And yes, you can put the tape in any metal, but between the tape and a metal must be some insulating material.
To make the carbon tape waterproof you can cover it with any silicone sealant.
Very cool project!
Question: Could the carbon tape idea be made waterproof and used as a seed starter heat mat placed under seed trays?
Yes, you can glue the carbon tape into a PVC film or sealed with a silicone
sealant. But it is much better to use the tape in clothes and put under
the seeds some nichrome wire into a tube.
The carbon ribbon heating element is the same as any other heater. The main advantage of the carbon tape is that it can withstand repeated bending.
Okay, that makes sense. Of course, now I want to make a heated cloak for myself! This has also given me an idea to make a heated exterior battery case for doing winter night timelapses. Cool stuff.
Thank you. Very nice to meet likeminded person.
By the way, in the near future we hope to present you a new secret project: "... proof vest".
We are working on it:)
I love this carbon tape!
We made a very good carbon tape Taser proof jacket:
As far as it disipates heat, sure it's not efficient. I'm also concerned about safety... i'd place some current limiter circuit or so, i don't want to be the human torch :D
Besides this, i like the idea and the execution :D
Yes, on the IR-camera all
heating elements look like a light bulb:)
I showed how to make a base,
a central element of the design. Of course it can be improved.
From the viewpoint of energy
savings, the most effective positioning the heating element on the
mattress under the sheets. Then more heat remains under a blanket.
If you still need a blanket,
then to retain more heat you need to use a thicker outer fabric,
providing better insulation properties, for example, thick wool,
Thinsulate, and so on.
Using the AC adapter from the laptop
is convenient because there is already a short-circuit protection.
For added convenience, this blanket I connect via remote RF
dimmer. This allows you to adjust the temperature, turn on or off at
the right time. A little later I'll write about it and show pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
The carbon heater is the most energy effective heater. Just like any other heating element, it requires compliance with the rules of safe operation.
One of the main advantages of the carbon tape is its resistance to repeated bending, which greatly increases the safety of use.
Good to see your projects, promoting carbon heating. The idea to warm yourself instead of warming the room, is the biggest chance/challenge in reducing energy for mankind. Go on and make an overall, heated/powered by battery.
Dear IamWe,
Thank you very much for your support. We will certainly try to do something interesting again.

WEST PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth West High School Marching Band competed against the best bands in the state Saturday at The Ohio State University Buckeye Invitational Band Competition at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
Thirty-five schools from across the state were invited to compete.
"Basically we got on the radar by going to state finals last year. It triggered that we were one of the better bands in the state so they extended an invitation for us to come up and perform at the event," said West Band Director Mike Pierce.
Bands competing were divided into categories based on the size of their school, from Class AA (the biggest schools) to Class C (the smallest). With about 72 band members, West competed in Class B. In their class, West won top awards for Best Marching, Best General Effect, and Best Percussion.
"In fact, my percussion was fourth in all 35 bands," Pierce said.
West Color Guard also placed second in its class, and the entire band qualified to compete in the state competition, at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, on Nov. 4. West performs at 2 p.m. The band could submit to compete in the Grand Nationals competition, but the non-refundable entry fee and travel accommodations are too expensive, Pierce said.
"That is something that we might consider in the future if we continue to do good things," he said.
At the moment, he said, the band is still working on its fundraising drive to pay for new band uniforms.
Pierce was concerned that students would be intimidated performing at the Horseshoe — home of The Best Damn Band in the Land.
"I thought my kids would be in shock being in such a big venue. That stadium holds 110,000 people, and if there were 5,000 people watching you it looks empty. I thought my kids would just be scared and big-eyed about the thing. They came down the ramp and they said 'let's go do this, let's give our best performance and show them who West is.' That's exactly the attitude they took to the field, with confidence and ownership," Pierce said.
The West High School Band will perform locally at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 12, in Tracy Park, during the Veteran's Day Memorial Service. The West Junior High Band also performed in Tracy Park on Sept. 28, during the Special Olympics, and will perform in the Jaycee's Christmas Parade, in Portsmouth, on Nov. 15.
