Senior Notes due 2015, Senior Notes due 2017, Senior Notes due 2022, Senior Notes due 2032, and Senior Notes due 2042
On November 20, 2012, Turlock Corporation, an Ohio Corporation (the "Issuer"), an indirect subsidiary of the registrant, Eaton Corporation plc, an Irish public limited company (the "Company"), issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0.950% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "2015 Notes"), $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.500% Senior Notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes"), $1,600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.150% Senior Notes due 2042 (the "2042 Notes" and, together with the 2015 Notes, the 2017 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the "Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 20, 2012, among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Indenture"), governing the Notes.
Interest on the Notes is payable on May 2 and November 2 of each year, commencing on May 2, 2013. The 2015 Notes will mature on November 2, 2015, the 2017 Notes will mature on November 2, 2017, the 2022 Notes will mature on November 2, 2022, the 2032 Notes will mature on November 2, 2032 and the 2042 Notes will mature on November 2, 2042.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes to fund a portion of the consideration for the proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") by the Company and Eaton Corporation ("Eaton") of Cooper Industries plc ("Cooper"). In connection with the Acquisition, the Issuer will merge with and into Eaton, with Eaton surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (such transaction, the "Merger" and together with the Acquisition, the "Transaction"). Upon consummation of the Merger, Eaton will assume all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).
The net proceeds from this offering were deposited into an escrow account pending consummation of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to May 21, 2013 for any reason, the Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
The following is a brief description of the terms of the Notes and the Indenture.
Notes and the Indenture
Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the Notes will be secured by the net proceeds of this offering contained in an escrow account and will be unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer. Following the consummation of the Transaction, the Notes will be the unsecured unsubordinated obligations of Eaton and will rank equally with all of Eaton's other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured obligations of Eaton, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations and senior in right of payment to any obligations of Eaton that are by their terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes. They will be structurally subordinated to unsubordinated obligations of the subsidiaries of Eaton that do not guarantee the Notes.
Optional Redemption
We may redeem the Notes of any series, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time at the applicable make-whole premium redemption price.
Change of Control
If we experience certain kinds of changes of control and there is a downgrade in our ratings, we must offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, and a make-whole amount on the applicable Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture contains covenants, including:
• limitations on the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to sell or transfer any manufacturing plant with the intention of taking back a lease on such property;
• limitations on the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to create liens on certain assets to secure debt; and
• limitations on the activities of the Issuer and the Company prior to the consummation of the Acquisition.
Events of Default
The Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the affected series of Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.
The foregoing description of the Indenture is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
On November 20, 2012, the Issuer and the guarantors of the Notes entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Notes described above (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer and the guarantors of the Notes have agreed that they will (1) file one or more registration statements on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Notes and related guarantees for registered notes and guarantees of the applicable series, with
The Issuer and the guarantors have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange to be completed within 360 days after the issuance of the Notes.
If the Issuer fails to satisfy these obligations or if applicable, the shelf registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales or exchanges of Notes during the shelf registration period (subject to certain exceptions) (each such event referred to above, a "Registration Default"), then additional interest will accrue on the on the principal amount of the applicable Notes that are "registrable securities", from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to, but excluding, the date on which the Registration Default has been cured, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum).
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
(d) Exhibits.

The Highwayman
by Alfred Noyes
The Moon
Symbol Analysis
The moon, and (especially the moonlight) is almost like a character in this poem. In fact, the word moonlight shows up nineteen times! It's as if the moonlight has soaked into everything, even taken over the poem. This is definitely part of the spooky, dramatic beginning too. Moonlight tends to be eerie, to make you see strange things in the shadows. That fits in with the ghost-story side of this poem.
- Line 2: Here's a full out, prize-winning metaphor! The speaker compares the moon to a "ghostly galleon" (a big old ship) riding on a sea of clouds. Ever see a big orange moon coming up through the clouds? That's how we see this one, a huge moon lost in the ocean of the sky. Kind of cool, actually. Plus, it adds even more to the spooky, Halloweeny atmosphere of this first stanza.
- Line 30: We won't drag you through every mention of moonlight, but let's look at some key ones. This line is pretty dramatic. It's the spot where the highwayman promises to come back for Bess, no matter what. In a way, the highwayman and the moonlight get tied together. He's really a creature of the night in this poem, and the only time we see him in daylight (line 87) he's about to die. Maybe he's a vampire! Sorry, maybe we're a little Twilight-obsessed.
- Line 84: In a way, the moonlight is like punctuation in this poem. The image of the pale white moon lighting up the scene underlines key moments in the plot. This is a big line, full of the sadness of Bess' death. She waited in the moonlight, but she "died in the darkness." We should point out the alliteration there too ("died," "darkness"). All this sets us up for the ghost story about Bess and the highwayman. In a way they become prisoners of moonlight and darkness.

Trend is still intact, though not awe inspiring. The hedge is slowly coming off. Must be pretty frustrating for the funds at this pace. Look at the daily volume. Quite a challenge to cover a huge short position while keeping the PPS down at a desirable level at the current daily volumes. Days to cover has gotten ridiculous.
Settlement Date_____Short Interest_____Avg Daily Share Volume_____Days To Cover
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"The hedge is slowly coming off."
Based on the numbers you produced "slowly" doesn't do it justice. More like glacially. What levels had short interest achieved prior to January? Do you have a link to previous months so the trend you're pointing to can be examined by those of us who are relatively new to EXEL? I would love a nice short squeeze and this one certainly sets up as having the potential for being a doozie but based on the scanty evidence evinced in your table there isn't much sign of an imminent squeeze.I'll check NASDAQ and see if I can find it on my own and try to produce it but if you have it handy it would be much appreciated if you could provide it. Thanks.
Duck why are there so many days to cover this past round and what is the significance of it?
Another thought on the SI. Now that we see the declining SI trend is intact, but the confirmation is so small, I wonder what the magic timeline is for covering this short hedge position. In other words, if I'm a Master of the Universe for a fund, by what date do I believe I need to have this short position covered. My WAG is by ASCO (May31-June4). Which means they need to stir up a bit more volume on the retail sell side. Hence I fully expect a bunch more FUD over the next couple of months from such reliable sources as The Street, Motley Fool, FlyontheWall, etc.
I would target ESMO 2013 at the latest. Barring surprise interim results, partnering, etc...
We'll have more complete info as EXEL will likely annouce ASCO abstract submissions sometime in the next 60 days.At the last conference, I believe MMM mentioned he would announce when they were certain which abstracts had been accepted. I'm not expecting anything earth-shattering at ASCO, but the clinicaltrialsdot gov site has displayed a lot of recent recruiting activity in Comet 1 (avg 1 additional recruitng site/day between 2/7 & 2/25..!!)...with lots of Feb updates to NCI P2 signaling trials...and the Abi/Cabo P1 should have some preview of results by year's end. A synergystic partnering w/ JNJ in CRPC would conclusively knock the wind out of the short thesis...laying all argument to rest.
This is all about patience. Patience w/ EXEL...patience with trial results...
...and patience w/ all these knuckleheaded message board terrorists that obviously are beginning to recognize the need to cover...
They can't remain blind to the declining short interest...can they?
Could you tell me when there will be a PE? and I will tell you when the shorts are in trouble.

SIKESTON -- It's that time of year again. The time when cars line streets and bargain hounds roam all over towns, searching for the best deals.
Yep, it's the height of yard sale season. In Wednesday's edition of the Standard Democrat, 89 garage/yard sales were listed for this weekend -- and that's not counting those in Thursday's and today's paper.
Avid yard sale goer Rhonda Hardin of rural Bertrand said she loves hitting the yard sales.
"I usually go every Saturday, and if I'm not having them, then I'm going to one," Hardin said.
Hardin said she looks for collectibles when she goes, and has seen everything for sale -- from undergarments to pets and cars.
"You name it, they've got it. Sometimes it's better than Wal-Mart. A lot of them are brand new," Hardin said.
With nearly 100 sales to choose from, Hardin uses the process of elimination to determine her route. And then she makes a list.
"I go yard saling on both sides of town across Main Street east side and west side.
According to Shawn Crawford, classified advertising supervisor for the Standard Democrat, May and October are typically the busiest times for garage and yard sales. Over 100 yard sale listings marks the peak of the season.
"Wednesday is the best day to advertise because its the TMC -- total media coverage -- of four counties. And everybody in Sikeston gets a paper on Wednesdays," Crawford said.
But Crawford advised to check Thursday and Friday papers for garage/yard sales for people who miss the Monday deadline.
The best things to advertise are baby clothing, Home Interiors items and furniture, Crawford said.
"Now the big thing is everyone wants to put "name brand" clothing in their ads," Crawford noted.
Also popular is offering free coffee and donuts at sales or posting hours for when people get off work on Friday, Crawford said.
Liz Turley of Sikeston said it takes months to prepare for a garage/yard sale. "You get this thing, and it's 'I don't need this anymore, and I'm going to put in yard sale box,'" Turley explained.
And so a sale evolves.
"It's fun," Turley said. "Some of the same people come every time and you've gotten to know them. It's like a party."
When it comes to pricing items, Turley said she's found a lot of people tend to overprice.
"I've read a good rule of thumb is try to price it at a tenth of what you paid for it," Turley noted.
After all the idea of holding a sale is getting rid of the items a person doesn't want, Turley pointed out.
"If you have no need for it, why clutter your place up? And I have a rule: once it goes outside, it doesn't come back. Anything left is donated somewhere," Turley said.
The best way to sell items is to have them clean and offered at low prices. Haggling prices isn't out of the question, either.
"It's not rare. That's kind of part of it," Turley said.
Sometimes fellow yard sale goers get vicious Hardin said.
"If you want it, you better grab it up because the next person standing beside you will snatch it up.
Like Hardin, Turley prefers going to yard sales rather than hosting one. "I look for books, puzzles and whatever is in my mind right now. When I see it, I just know it -- and you can buy it at a fraction of the cost," Turley said.
Instead of paying $50, a person could get an item for $10, Turley said.
"You can buy books for 25 to 50 cents, and even $1 is still cheaper than other books," Turley said.
Of course early arrival at sales often means better selection, Hardin pointed out, adding she usually sets out around 6 or 7 a.m. for the sales.
"You can find some really good bargains and older items at yard sales simply because some people don't like them anymore," Hardin said. "You never know what you're gonna find -- and that's what I like about it."

This is for One Single Impression's "migration" prompt… I really should start thanking people for the prompts, so thanks to Gabrielle from Wild Goose Scoops Moon for this one! Decided to do something that was a take on the xenophobia and distrust inherent to im- or e- migration, and ended up with this terzanelle, whose point of view and message I'm not really sure of. We can tear down all the trappings that makes a wall a wall, but somehow it's still there, even when its purpose, ownership, and effectiveness all have changed. I tried to make it as un-specifically about one country/situation as possible.

WATERTOWN, Wis.—The Wisconsin Lutheran Warriors scored 27 points in the first half, cruising to a 48-0 thumping of the Crusaders on Saturday afternoon.
The Warriors scored on their first two possessions, and added a third at the end of the quarter, but scored just once in the second quarter.
Wisconsin Lutheran racked up 550 yards of offense, and intercepted freshman quarterback Brandon McCormick (Edwards, Ill.) three times as Maranatha finished with 57 yards of offense.
The Warriors controlled the ball at 35:06 to Maranatha's 19:48, and compiled 345 yards passing.
On defense, linebackers Ethan Kennon (Raleigh, N.C.), and Ethan Lane (Atlanta, Ga.) finished with 12 and 11 tackles respectively. Lane also had a sack and one and a half tackles for loss.
The team travels to Lisle, Ill. on Saturday, November 3 at 1:00 p.m. to play the Benedictine Eagles.

!WAR: ! Women Art
RevolutionAvailable soon on ZeitgeistFilms
wandering through an art gallery, ignoring the art and instead tallying the
number of female artists on display. It may seem strange, but that's exactly
what a group of women did in the late 1960s. Their findings—that women had been
almost completely excluded from the gallery system—were not entirely surprising.
group formed a coalition, Women Artists in Revolution, and the feminist art
movement was born. For the next 40 years, artist Lynn Hershman Leeson recorded
snippets of it, documenting art by women and interviewing any female artists,
curators and art historians she could find. Leeson accumulated over twelve
thousand minutes of video and archived nearly one thousand still images. !WAR is the condensed version of this
lively history.
documentary's main strength lies in putting feminist artwork into context. "You
have to ask yourself why it was necessary for [feminist artists] to do this in
the first place," says Leeson. Through archival footage and interviews, !WAR illustrates just how difficult it
was for women (who have since become the foundation for feminist art practice)
to get into galleries, much less art history books.
an undergraduate at Harvard
University [in the early
1980s]," says art historian Amelia Jones, "I don't think there was a single
woman artist whose work was discussed in any one of my classes." Thankfully,
things have changed. !WAR shows how women exposed and subverted the
system that decides what artwork gets recognized and remembered. In revealing this, the documentary becomes more engaging than any textbook chapter on the
feminist movement.
who lived this movement will enjoy !WAR,
but those that didn't are the ones who most need to watch it. We need to see
life breathed back into feminism, see its passion and creative problem-solving
made contagious. We need to be reminded that feminism was once cool and, though gains have been made,
the fight for equality is not over.

Schwarzmann Carries on Maryland Tradition with Tewaaraton Win
|Katie Schwarzmann became the
third Maryland player to win the women's Tewaaraton after Jen Adams
(2001, left) and Caitlyn McFadden (2010, right).

2012 Tewaaraton Awards
* Baum, Schwarzmann Win
* Beyond Dreams for Oregon Kid Baum
* Video Recap (Men): Baum, Costabile, Manny, Sawyer, Stanwick
* Video Recap (Women): Dashiell, Lynch, Schwarzmann, Thornton, Tumolo
* Pre-Event Poll: Who Should Win?
WASHINGTON -- As a kid, Katie Schwarzmann idolized Jen Adams, the first Tewaaraton winner.
"When I was little, I'd go to games, and get her autograph on my stick, so she's definitely someone I looked up to," said Schwarzmann.
Schwarzmann has followed in Adams' footsteps in many ways. She plays for Maryland. She is breathtakingly fast, with a nose for the goal. And now she is also a Tewaaraton Award winner. The junior midfielder won the 2012 prize for the nation's top player on Thursday night at a ceremony at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian. She is the third Terp to win the award after Adams (2001) and Caitlyn McFadden (2010).
Schwarzmann beat out finalists Brittany Dashiell (Florida), Becky Lynch (North Carolina), Michelle Tumolo (Syracuse) and Taylor Thornton (Northwestern).
"I just can't believe it. I was shaking up there. It's an awesome feeling, especially to be recognized amongst this group of girls. It's incredible," said Schwarzmann. "This was my dream, to come to Maryland, and everything's just finally coming together."
Schwarzmann and men's Tewaaraton winner Peter Baum were presented their awards by Hall of Fame Cornell coach Richie Moran, who was at the ceremony to accept the Tewaaraton Legends Award on behalf of the late Eamon McEneaney while also being honored as the recipient of the 2012 Spirit of Tewaaraton Award.
Two $5,000 Tewaaraton US Lacrosse Native American Scholarships were also handed out, to Marissa Haring of the Seneca Nation and Bradley Thomas of the Tuscarora Indian Nation. They will attend Lock Haven and Canisius, respectively, in the fall.
Schwarzmann, known for her speed in transition and powerful shots, won ACC Player of the Year honors and was named the ACC championship's Most Valuable Player for her record-setting 11-point performance in the conference championships.
She also was named an IWLCA first-team All-American for the second consecutive year. She had a career-high 52 draw controls and 72 goals. Her single-season goal total ranks fifth in Maryland history. And she scored in each of the Terps' 23 games, averaging 3.19 goals and 4.09 points per game. Maryland finished with a 19-4 record and a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA semifinals.
The junior team captain also took on an increased leadership role.
"Last year I really had great leaders, and I really looked up to them," said Schwarzmann, citing 2011 Tewaaraton finalist Sarah Mollison as a role model. "That was my main role, stepping up in that leadership position to help the newbies and freshmen."
The Terps, a perennial lacrosse powerhouse, had some midseason struggles, dropping regular season games to conference foes Duke and North Carolina. They rallied to defeat both teams in the ACC tournament, on the strength of Schwarzmann's record-setting 11-goal performance in three games, and won their fourth straight conference crown.
"The highlight of the season for me was rallying to win the ACC championship, to avenge those losses and really come together as a team," said Schwarzmann.
Schwarzmann thanked her coaches, her teammates and her family in her acceptance speech Thursday night, saying she couldn't have won the prestigious award without them. Her coaches were more confident that Schwarzmann was a force of nature on her own.
"She's an amazing player. She has been since her first year. I'd like to say it's because of our coaching, but she's just fast. The fastest girl on the team, probably the fastest girl in the country," said Terps assistant coach Quinn Carney. "She just plays with a very smooth style and she's very slippery. It's innate – you can't teach that."

Two-way radios first responders use them to communicate.
Except there are holes in radio coverage in Ford County.
"It involves the EMS, the Sheriff's Department ... and we're finding areas where we have no signals," said Dan Boatright of Ford County Roads and Brides. "... It's a very, very serious concern."
The problem started with a federal order to narrow the bandwidth the county uses.
"They cut our coverage by about a third," said Ford County administrator Edward Elam. "Our first responders aren't responding as quickly as we need them. so we have to go to our back up system. That ties up our dispatchers."
The problem could be getting worse. Elam is hearing the FCC wants to narrow band again.
"If we narrow band again, we'll lose two thirds of our existing coverage," Elam said.
Which is why the county is looking at some changes.
"Mainly because the state has a system that's in our area that we can tie onto," Elam said.
But the state has only one tower in Ford County, still leaving holds. So they're using a mobile tower to figure out the best place to locate a new, secondary tower in the county.
"So what we want to test is those areas, elevators, basements … that has that communication need," Elam said. "So the only way we can do that actually is to take a radio and see if it'll work."
From snow plows to fire trucks to squad cars, they all have these two way systems installed in them so they can communicate. But they're probably going to have to switch them out for handheld radios, at no small cost to the county. Elam estimates it would cost between $1.25 and $1.5 million.
But despite the heavy price tag, the county can't ignore the problem.
Weak radio coverage becomes big problem in Ford County

Lymphomas are classified based on the type of lymphocyte involved as well as several other factors, including cell size and how the cancer grows.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes all kinds of lymphomas except Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin's disease), which is marked by the presence of an abnormal lymphocyte called the Reed-Sternberg cell (or B lymphocyte).
There are more than 30 distinct types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which can be divided into aggressive (fast-growing or high grade) or indolent (slow-growing or low grade) types.
NHL is further divided according to the cell type involved. There are two main types of lymphocytes: B-lymphocytes (or B cells) and T-lymphocytes (or T cells). Most types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas develop from B cells.

Fed's Charles Plosser on 'risky' policy, watching wages
Fed's Plosser: Need to be responsive to data not calendar time
Charles Plosser, Philadelphia Federal Reserve president, discusses interest rates, with CNBC's Steve Liesman. Plosser is concerned with the lack of reaction to changing data.
The Federal Reserve's current policy on interest rates is too "risky" and could lead to "traumatic" consequences, one of the Fed's most outspoken hawks said on Thursday.
Oh, shut up, you racist.
We all know that free money isn't risky. It's Obamamagic!

You'll have to say one thing for Brett Ratner's production of Hercules: This movie has a sense of proportion. Running 98 minutes, the movie is often clunky, but at least it's fast and unpretentious.
Its likable star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, manages to murder legions without ever seeming sadistic. Less violent than 300, less compelling than Gladiator, this new addition to the sword-and-sandals genre seems likely to please the fanboy audience and stir up some impressive box-office numbers.
The film begins by recounting the legend of Hercules, with snippets of his famous 12 labors. But this is not the Steve Reeves version of the tale. Johnson's Hercules, as envisioned by comic book author Steve Moore, is a flawed hero. Bereft over the murders of his wife and children, Hercules has joined with a band of loyal comrades who will sell their services to the highest bidder.
The story has a few twists up its sleeve, as heroes turn out to be treacherous and villains are more complex than first appearances suggest. There's just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage. (The movie's PG-13 rating seems fairly lenient.) One problem with these battle scenes is the frenetic editing, an unfortunate staple of contemporary action pictures.
The classy sets and cast elevate the picture. Ian McShane gives a droll performance as a soothsayer who's always surviving predictions of his own death. John Hurt is working in the glorious tradition of Claude Rains in The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Johnson plays his role with good humor and more conviction than Reeves could ever muster. When he finally breaks free of his chains and bellows, "I am Hercules!" the audience responds with just the right degree of childish glee.
There are some neat 3-D effects, but as with so many recent 3-D offerings, the format doesn't seem absolutely essential. It might sound like a backhanded compliment to praise this sometimes cheesy movie for never taking itself too seriously, but in a summer of bloated spectacles, this modesty should not be underestimated.
Directed by Brett Ratner. PG-13 (epic battle sequences, violence, suggestive comments, brief strong language and partial nudity). 98 mins. In wide release.

Post subject: too worried to wee?
Little man has had one wee on his potty after 6 hours holding it in! We found if we put his pants on in place of his nappies he will just wee and not care for been wet. Without a nappy he holds it till he cant anymore and as has just happened he ends up spraying it all over the room !
He was sat on his potty but still wouldnt stop holding it in. He has a reward chart we made together and stickers we put on. Im confused why he would wee in it before and now he wont. He was so proud when he did it and ran straight upstairs to flush it away and put a sticker on his chart.
He started school this week and is the only one still in nappies
He isnt responding to our praise and will only sit on his potty if I say he can play his dads ds. Even then I have to sit next to him.
When he starts dancing around I ask if he needs to wee and he says no then cries when I tell him its okay to wee and try to reassure him about it.
He has shown interest for months now, watching us go wee and he tells us when he goes in his nappy.
Feeling stressed and lost! Weve given him nothing but praise and encouragment but he seems so worried and cant or wont tell me why.

Hi how old is your little boy? I'm not really able to offer any suggestions as my son is not in the least bit interested in potty training so we haven't even tried yet and he is still in nappies - he is 2 yrs 9 mth. Anyway I just wanted to say that my son will hold his wee for hours and hours, especially if we are out all day. He usually goes in the morning when he wakes up and then again after breakfast and then often not at all until bedtime. He drinks plenty of water and I worry too that surely he should be going more often. If we are at home most of the day he tends to go more often, maybe 3 or 4 times a day.
A couple of weeks ago he did a wee at bedtime and then didn't do another one until midday the following day! I kept asking him if he needed to do something but he said no. He is usually dry overnight too and will wake in the night to come and tell us when he has done a wee as he wants his nappy changed and has been like this for several months. So I think some of the signs are there but he is just not interested in sitting on a potty or the toilet.
I have no idea how of when to even start potty training with him! Have you had any luck with your little boy since your message? Mine is not interested in stickers or reward charts but maybe if your's is could he get some sort of reward after say 5 wees in the potty like a small toy car and then you could stretch it to 3 days of using the potty well for another reward and then a week and then he may have cracked it and you'd be done?! Would he be keen to sit on the toilet or even do standing up wees instead as sitting on the potty may be uncomfortable for him?
Sorry for my waffly reply, let me know how you are getting on! xxx

Thanks for the reply, Chris is just over 3 now. We sat down together and drew up a sticker chart for him and I drew his fav characters sonic and tails on it. I explained the way it works and since he already is willing to sit on his potty nappy free he gets a sticker for doing a wee in his potty. He did a wee in his potty once, we were just sat watching a movie and playing and his dad just suggested it and he went. We made a really big deal of it and he got alot of praise and he raced to his chart to put a sticker up. Since then we've had no luck. He just holds it until he can't any longer (he will even sit on his potty yet still hold it) and then plead for a nappy and cry when we suggest he just lets it out. He has never been scolded for any accidents he has had.
He watches me and his dad go wee but isnt ibterested in using the toilet or trying a stand up wee. He just says no and walks away.
He has quite a short attention span, it's difficult to get him to do something he doesnt care to do, it does seem that his new routine for nursery is helping though. Already his speech and such are improving after only 2 weeks.
he doesbt tell us when he wees in his nappy only when he has done a poo.
he isnt at all bothered about been wet or for going on thr floor (tho and uh oh does usually follow any accidents)
We keep his nappy off as soon as he has had his daily poo but it does seem to be a bit distressing for him so I am considering waiting a bit longer.
feel bad tho as he is the only one in his class that is still in nappies!

This men's heavyweight Irish Aran Sweater is a fine example of the sweater's appeal. Made to withstand the bracing cold of the harsh island winters, this strong, durable fabric is wrinkle resistant and machine washable. But the defining feature of any Aran sweater is the Irish knit patterns, with each distinctive pattern representing something unique. The honeycomb design featured on this sweater is often associated with the sweet rewards of an honest day's work. A practical blend of form and function, it's sure to appeal to the busy bee in your life.
Ladies Irish Aram Cardigan.
For something a little more fashionable there's this Ladies Irish Aran Cardigan. It wraps around the wearer and is fastened in place by a single hardwood button, which combined with the draped collar offers a casual feel. Despite its loose fit, like all Aran sweaters it is knitted from high quality wool that retains body heat while repelling moisture. Finally, the patchwork arrangement exhibits several traditional Irish knit patterns. With its laid-back look and warm, comfortable fit, it's no wonder that this sweater is a top seller.
Ladies Aran Cable Hooded Cardigan.
When looking to give an Irish Aran Sweater as a gift, both the men's heavyweight sweater and the ladies cardigan are timeless classics. However, because everyone has their own personal tastes, the sweaters are also available in a variety of styles and colors. For those who prefer something a little different, there's this Irish aran cable hooded cardigan. Much like Aran sweaters are based on clothing worn by fisherman in the British Isles for centuries, this apparel offers a new twist on an old favorite. It's longer than average and features a zipper instead of the usual buttons, as well as a hood and pockets. A bold charcoal color adds the finishing touch. Despite its somewhat unconventional appearance, the cable knit pattern and high quality wool material clearly indicate that it's still part of a proud Irish tradition.
As the items featured here have demonstrated, Ireland has served as inspiration for hundreds of terrific gift ideas. From the sister who enjoys winter hikes to the stylish niece to the cousin who spends his weekends cheering on his favorite team, an Irish gift brings joy and happiness to all. So this holiday season, when you're making a list and checking it twice, remember to think Ireland!

THE UNITED STATES Department of Transportation has given Bangalore-based EKO vehicle Pvt. Ltd. approval to export its electric scooter EV 60 to the US market, according to published reports.
EKO chairman Anil Ananthakrishna told The Hindu News Update Service the company will sell 10,000 units annually, mainly to food chains and smaller metros. He had finalized two U.S. distribution channels for EV 60, which will be priced between $1,500 and $1,800. EKO has also set up warehouse infrastructure in Atlanta, he said.
"Getting the Department of Transport's approval is like a green card [for the scooters]. We can now export the two-wheelers to the U.S. markets without any hurdle," Ananthakrishna said. Shipments should begin in January and the company is mulling the option of floating a subsidiary in the U.S.
The battery-operated EV 60, promoted as the most economically priced L2 category scooter, goes 35 mph. Ananthakrishna said the company sees good potential to sell them in smaller metros, for short-range use and as "off-road" two-wheelers.

Alibaba's Youku Buy: Trying to Find a Reason to Believe
Alibaba Group and founder Jack Ma's $1.22 billion purchase of a 18.5% stake in online video company Youku Tudou is the latest in the Chinese e-commerce leviathan's acquisition binge. The company and its founders have bought stakes in businesses from film production to online mapping in the run-up to Alibaba's hotly-anticipated New York IPO.
Each successive Alibaba buy leaves observers breathless trying to come up with rationales, because Alibaba itself doesn't give us much to go on. Youku Tudou's press release contained the following from Mr. Ma: "This is an important strategic initiative that will further extend the Alibaba ecosystem and bring new products and services to Alibaba's customers."
That quote would apply just as well if Alibaba were buying a taco stand.
Youku Tudou could well be a wise investment on the part of Alibaba. In a note Tuesday, Barclays analysts envisioned a few benefits for both companies: merchants on Alibaba could embed ads into Youku content; the two companies could develop a smart TV business; and shared user data could help sharpen services at both companies.
But here are a couple more notes to keep in mind:
- Youku Tudou has yet to turn a profit. The company's net losses have in fact increased over the past three years. The company lost roughly $96 million in 2013 "due to significant bandwidth and content costs, and capital expenditures required to ramp up our business and operations", according to its 2013 annual report.
- Alibaba is paying a lot for an unprofitable company. The price of $30.5 per share is 26% more than Youku's shares cost before the deal was announced. And because Youku will issue new shares in the deal, Alibaba will effectively pay a higher premium. The deal values Youku as a whole at $6.6 billion, 63% more than its market cap last Friday.
- Jack Ma's private equity firm Yunfeng Capital accounted for a chunk of the Youku investment, taking 2% of Youku alongside Alibaba's 16.5%. That is unusual, and highlights existing questions about what roles Alibaba founders' private investment vehicles play in the company's overall acquisitions spree. Earlier this month, a firm controlled by Alibaba co-founder Simon Xie—and in which Mr. Ma also holds a small stake–bought 20% of Internet-TV company Wasu Media Holding Co. The deal was financed by a loan from Alibaba.

Those parental-control filters? As few as 4% are signing up
ISPs report as few as 4% of new customers are signing up for government-mandated parental control filters
Broadband customers are overwhelmingly choosing not to use parental-control systems foisted on ISPs by the government - with take-up in the single digits for three of the four major broadband providers.
Last year, the government pushed ISPs to roll out network-level filters, forcing new customers to make an "active" decision about whether or not they want to use them.
An Ofcom report has revealed that the vast majority of new customers are not opting for the filters.
Only 5% of new BT customers signed up, 8% opted in for Sky and 4% for Virgin Media. TalkTalk rolled out a parental-control system two years before the government required it and has had much better take-up of its offering, with 36% of customers signing up for it.
Ofcom noted that the figures represented take-up only at the time of account activation, and said it's possible more customers turned on the filters afterwards.
Indeed, Sky said it had more take-up from existing customers, who aren't yet forced to make a decision on using the filters, than from new ones, who must make a choice. However, it didn't specify how many more signed up.
Ofcom said about 40% of British homes would likely have children in them, but noted that customer demographics varied by ISP. BT said about 20-25% of its customer base has children "of a relevant age".
Ofcom added that previous research showed about 42% of British homes with children already had parental controls of some sort before the rollout. Indeed, BT noted that about 9% of its customers - which it said works out to 40% of its customers with young children - use a device-based filter rather than the network-level filter.
BT added that the network-level filter was new, and believes that with further awareness take-up will increase from the current 5%.
Virgin Media pointed out filters are just one way it helps parents to keep children safe online, pointing out that its numbers may be low because the systems are so new. We've asked for comment from the other ISPs, but have yet to hear back.
We've also asked for comment from MP Claire Perry, who led the efforts to get ISPs to offer the filters, but her office said she had no response as she no longer acts as advisor to the PM on the issue.
Unavoidable choice
The low take-up is despite all new customers being forced to say whether they want the filters or not during account setup.
While BT, Sky and TalkTalk are showing all their new customers the "unavoidable choice" on setting up filters, Virgin Media managed to show the message to only 35%.
Virgin pinned the blame on its engineers. "The majority of new Virgin Media installations involve an engineer visit," the report said. "Virgin Media believes that, in many cases, the engineer runs the broadband activation process and bypasses or ignores the filtering choice. It has recognised that this is a failure in the process and indicated it is taking steps to address this gap."
The ISP said it would be "dramatically streamlining" the process so engineers stop avoiding it, and has shown additional prompts for the service to its customers, with the vast majority of users signing up for its Web Safe controls after activating their broadband.
But do they work?
Ofcom's report describes the systems used by the ISPs, but the regulator disappointingly didn't bother to test the effectiveness of the filters - something we at PC Pro have done on multiple occasions.
Ofcom admitted that filters are easily circumvented, but suggests it requires a "dedicated and technically competent user, supported by a range of advice available online". Our research suggests some of the filters can be dodged by using basic proxy services, including Google Images or Google Translate - and yes, PC Pro has been blamed by one ISP for spreading information about how to get around filters.
The report suggests the ISPs have "taken some steps to limit the extend of circumvention" but acknowledged that a VPN would bypass all the filters.
We've asked the Department for Media, Culture and Sport if it will test the filters efficacy, but have yet to hear back.

1. What is Automated Meter Reading?
Automated Meter Reading (AMR) is a computerized, radio-transmitted meter reading system. Once
installation is complete in your community, this technology will allow us to eliminate every-other-month
estimated meter readings and will provide us with actual monthly electronic meter readings.
2. Why is Columbia doing this? Columbia is upgrading its meter reading technology as part of its plan to do more for customers by
improving service and customer convenience. Installation of this new technology was authorized by the
Public Utilities Commission of Ohio as part Columbia's recently approved base rate case.
3. How will my meter be read by AMR? The AMR System uses radio technology to automatically read your gas meter from a vehicle. As the
specially equipped vehicle drives by, it sends a signal to the device on your meter, which in turn transmits
the meter reading data to a computer in the vehicle.
4. What is the installation schedule for the new AMR devices? The new AMR devices will be installed on most residential and commercial meters across the company's
service territory over approximately the next five years beginning in the spring of 2009. More information
about the installation schedule will be provided to customers prior to their scheduled installation date.
5. When will Columbia Gas of Ohio start to use this AMR system for billing? Columbia will begin to read your meter with this system after installation has been completed in a large
geographic area around your home or business. Until then, meter readers will continue to read your meter.
6. What if I read my own meter? How will I know when I no longer need to do that? You will be notified on your monthly bill when we start monthly meter readings and it is no longer
necessary for you to read your own meter.
7. What if my meter is indoors? How does that impact me short term and long term? Short term, we will need to gain access to your home to make the AMR installation. Long term, we will no
longer need to enter your home to read your meter following the installation.
8. How is the AMR device powered? The power for the AMR System is supplied by its own long-term battery. The battery will be replaced by
Columbia when necessary. The unit does not draw any current from your electrical system.
9. Will the AMR System interfere with my home electronic equipment? It is highly unlikely that you will have any interference from the AMR System. The AMR signal meets all applicable FCC regulations and operates on a frequency similar to other devices such as car toll transponders or portable telephones.
10. What is the expected length of time to convert my gas meter? The installation process is expected to take approximately 20 minutes.
11. Do I need to be present during the AMR device installation?
The vast majority of installations do not require the technician to enter the home or business and do not require the customer to be present during the work. Customers requiring additional upgrades to their gas meter assemblies will be contacted in order to set up an appointment, thus minimizing any service disruption.
12. Who will install the new AMR device? Columbia employees or employees of our subcontractors will install the new AMR devices.
13. Do the subcontractor employees and Columbia Gas of Ohio employees have identification?
Yes. All Columbia Gas employees and subcontractors have photo identification, uniforms and marked vehicles.
14. Will there be any charge for having an AMR device installed? There will be no separate charge for the installation of the AMR device.
15.Columbia has said for years that its estimated reads are extremely accurate and that any discrepancies with the actual reads are quickly reconciled. If that's true, why are you eliminating the estimated reads after all this time? Our estimated reads are extremely accurate. But new energy-efficient appliances are changing the traditional gas consumption patterns upon which these estimates are based. The AMR System will ensure that your gas consumption is always accurately recorded, without the need to estimate any of your bills. It will also help us manage costs and enhance customer convenience.
16.What else is Columbia doing for its customers? In addition to the Budget Payment Plan, which allows customers to spread winter heating costs evenly over the entire year, Columbia offers a variety of payment and assistance plan options for customers who need them. The company is upgrading its website and giving customers more options for managing their accounts online. Columbia is also launching new energy-efficiency programs designed to help customers save money by reducing their natural gas consumption.

Volunteers, please: the more, the merrier
Seren - Barley was told only where the Pirate Feed Station was and that's only because he made a point of asking. I guess, although they know the bike route, they don't know exactly where all feed stations will be and so don't want to confirm anything.
Barley is quite particular in the Feed Station he wants ie to see cyclists twice and be one of the first to pack up, so it may be easy for OSB to allocate the Pirate one on those criteria and let him know
*shrugs as I am only surmising*
I am not ahving a go at barley honest
just frustrated that they are still in the process of chop changing run routes and not notifying the feed station yet.........I want to get myself organised.( I should be training but any old excuse ).....
Seren - believe it should be this week according to the last tweet I saw. The info pack has certainly improved and changed since when I registered.
Seren - Even though you didn't mean to, please have a go at Barley. It would be fun to watch . And if you could invite Meldy along, so much the better.......
I shouldn't laugh but....
I thought Barley had quite thick skin!! Or is he just hard of hearing?!!
The type of abuse I give barley is very private and can not be mentioned on a public forum like this.....
I will have my car if people need lifts
I promise not to have a go at Barley... But I may upset the List fairy.
Sorry Schmunks, I'm leaving Garr at home so he will have to come off the list. Mouse and I are happy to get there early and help set up the feedstation and mix and shake stuff.
Hi do you need me to help with this? Nobody responded to my last post but I have not been through the whole thread. Let me know. I live in Nottingham.
Oh, I'm sure another pair of hands will be welcome
I have mailed the kit fairy to say I'm happy to be part of the early crew, and can offer lifts if need be - though we don;t want to be taking too many cars as parking may not be easy
Do I need to email schmunks? I can get early too
Prince Siegfried wrote (see)
I thought Barley had quite thick skin!! Or is he just hard of hearing?!!
I suspect his hearing has slowly diminished over the last couple of years .... Barlos, big yellow signs, do you want me to take them up for you or are you organised on that front for once? !!

Chris email Schmunkee at 'outlawsupport at Hotmail co uk' and she'll add you to the list
Cheers Rafiki will do.

Pop punk, with its catchy one-liners and realistic attitude, has been a genre that most people thought would die out with the breakup of pop-punk legends blink-182 in 2005. The band has been back together since 2009, and many smaller bands have been busy keeping the pop-punk scene alive.
The past year has seen a large progression for the genre, and the next month is full of new albums and shows.
Coming off of a long summer on the Vans Warped Tour, Set Your Goals and the Wonder Years are coming back to Buffalo on Oct. 25 for a show at the Town Ballroom, 681 Main St., with pop-punk heroes New Found Glory, Man Overboard and This Time Next Year. The show's name is the Pop Punk's Not Dead Tour. The title is a strong testament to how resilient the genre is and what it stands for. Set Your Goals and the Wonder Years both put out strong records in June, and New Found Glory has a record coming out Tuesday. Also, This Time Next Year and Man Overboard had new albums hit the shelves earlier this week.
Another show that is coming to Buffalo is the Polar Bear Club/Balance and Composure show on Oct. 15 at Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. The headliner, Polar Bear Club, and guests on the tour, Such Gold, both hail from our neighbor down the I-90, Rochester. Such Gold is coming back after playing Sugar City in late summer, and the band always puts on an amazing show. Polar Bear Club just came out with a new album Sept. 13.
"The best part of playing a show is watching people get into your music," said Andrew Stark, the drummer for local bands Malfunction and Better Times. "Or just the number of people who stay in the room to check out your band, even if they've never heard you before."
Megan Loira, a pop punk fanatic, says, "It's a lot more realistic and relatable than all the songs on the radio. It's so much more than that, it actually has meaning."
Pop punk is more than a genre. It's a statement and a state of mind. Whether a person is a concertgoer or a band member, the shows seem to mean the world to them. Pop punk's popularity continues to grow as there are more shows, new releases and even more bands embracing the genre.

Aegon calls for delay to FSA Sipp disclosure rules
Steven Cameron, head of regulatory strategy at Aegon, said while the insurer supports proposals to Sipp assets into the key features illustration disclosure regime, firms were already busy changing their systems for RDR.
Adding another layer of changes for implementation by the end of 2012, he claimed, would create major practical challenges and significant implementation risks for the industry.
He claimed that the FSA has underestimated the complexity and costs of its proposed Sipp changes.
Mr Cameron said: "Aegon supports the FSA's proposal to bring non-insured Sipp assets into the projection regime but we have big concerns over the proposed timeline.
"We think it would be highly risky, if at all feasible, to ask the industry to combine new Sipp disclosure changes with those already underway for the RDR.
"We are asking the FSA to prioritise RDR delivery and associated consumer benefits over improvements to Sipp disclosure, which will benefit far fewer customers.
"Changes to client specific disclosure material are notoriously complex and costly. The FSA's estimates look far too low to us."
He said the changes should be deferred until at least the end of 2013.

Last weekend I was happily riding around Summit County, Colorado in spectacular fall temperatures. (A few photos to come later.) The high temperatures in the mountains were in the low 60s (F) and the fall colors were amazing. Just one week later, it's snowing in the Colorado high country and temperatures are mid to high 20s. Some mountain locations are expecting six to 12 inches of snow by the time the storm rolls out of here.
Along the Front Range, where I live, it's been windy, wet and cold. Well, cold is a relative term I suppose. Our high today was in the mid 40s. It's a far cry from the low 90s we saw a week ago.
This time of year is always tough for me. I don't want to let go of summer and fall. I do love winter, but I'm not quite ready yet. Good thing the upcoming week will give me temperatures back into the 70s.
I don't really have a good transition for this topic, so I'll just make a hard right turn to granola. I've been meaning to tell you I found agreat tasting granola this summer. The name is as good as the granola – Super Human Granola. I found it by happy accident. Happy accidents are good…and sometimes yummy.

Lemon Verbena: The Perfect Dessert Tisane
This is the time of year when I cut back my lemon verbena plant so it can regroup and get ready to bust-out again after winter has passed. What better way to make use of those pruned sprigs than to simply throw a handful of then into a teapot and let them steep in hot water to create perfect dessert tisane? This light aromatic tea is perfect with anything chocolate, fruit tarts and pies, or splendid for dunking a cookie.
Lemon Verbena can be grown indoors or out, but it cannot be grown from seed, so get a cutting from a friend of buy a plant from the farmer's market. Luckily, it's a hearty drought resistant variety that has been known to grow up to six feet tall in its native South American environments. It's also a natural de-stressor that is used to settle upset stomachs – the perfect, delicious panacea for the holidays.

more"If I can save one woman from these thighs, I will not have lived in vain," #1 New York Times bestselling humorist Jill Conner Browne writes in American Thighs, her handbook and memoir for the Hot and Flashy. Whether young enough to look "hot" or of the age to only feel that way (in flashes with buckets of sweat), every woman has given, or will give, ample thought to preserving her best "assets" (thighs included), so that the dread transition from "cute girl" to "ma'am" won't be quite so unsettling.
Here are stories of growing up and learning about life -- usually the hard way! From disastrous haircuts and color jobs to fashion or verbal faux pas committed, from the kiss wished for but never gotten to the one that should have been skipped, these are the moments that mark each of our journeys from what we thought back then to what we now know. Since to say that Youth is wasted on the Young has got to be the understatement of all time, it falls upon Browne, as one older and wiser, to take a "Hit and Run" down Memory Lane for the sake of offering "Asset-Preserving Tips," with astonishing disclosures about:

A naked man who was reportedly running in traffic at 4am near Portsmouth Ave. in Portland, Ore., and had stopped in the middle of the road to do some pushups, was struck and killed by an oncoming vehicle. While police were being alerted of his running in traffic, a caller followed up to say he'd been hit.
The driver who hit the naked man was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and was cooperative with officers, the Portland Police say.
Don't do pushups.

A judge has scheduled a January trial for a Muldrow man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of his parents.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Kevin Statham, who is charged in the shotgun shooting deaths of Helen Ruth Statham and Paul Everette Statham.
The husband and wife were killed at their home in Bokoshe in July 2011.
Statham has pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Peter Astor, tells the Southwest Times Record that the trial is scheduled for Jan. 14.
Prosecutors allege that Statham bought a gun in North Dakota, disassembled it and brought it to Fort Smith, Ark., in a Hoover vacuum cleaner box. Prosecutors claim that Statham killed his parents then fled to North Dakota where he was arrested on July 7, 2011.
