9 Best White Noise Baby ProductsMadelinePetersen
I had no idea how helpful white noise could be in helping my baby to sleep until we had our roof replaced, and the baby slept better. You read that correctly — the sounds of construction helped my baby sleep. Who would have guessed that adding noise to naptime would calm a restless baby?
Because I can't have roofers come over every time I need to put Tate down for a nap, I've been looking into more ways I can introduce a little noise into the room where he sleeps. White noise, specifically, is a little background noise — a fan whirring, or the rain outside, or a quiet, static-like tone — that is known to comfort babies as they fall asleep. White noise may mimic the familiar sounds of the womb (it wasn't all peace and quiet in there!) or cover up louder background noises that may distract baby.
On my first post, readers left comments telling me about their favorite products and tips for implementing white noise into baby's sleep routine. I have been amazed at the difference it has made for Tate's nap schedule.
We ended up going the old-fashioned route by keeping a fan on high in the corner of his room while he sleeps, but some parents may prefer to invest in a white noise machine. These machines generally work better at covering up disturbing background noises such as snoring or loud neighbors. Click through to read about 9 of the best white noise baby products:
Homedics Sound Spa Lullaby Relaxation Machine 1 of 9This baby sound machine was highly recommended by a reader. Not only does it feature three natural sounds and three lullabies, it also offers rotating picture projection, so your baby can watch a swirling image on the ceiling while drifting off to sleep.
Click here to buy from Target, $15.97
Honeywell Tabletop Air-Circulator Fan 2 of 9I think fans are both one of the most basic and most effective options for creating white noise. This compact tabletop version would do the job well, especially if space is a premium.
Click here to buy from Amazon, $15.99
White Noise Lite App 3 of 9
Tranquil Moments White Noise Sound Machine 4 of 9This is the highest-rated white noise machine being sold at Amazon. You can select from sounds such as Prenatal, Dolphins, Lullaby, Heartbeat, and more, then set a sleep timer for 30, 60, or 90 minutes as the sounds gently lull your baby to sleep.
Click here to buy from Amazon, $69.99
Oral-B CrossAction Power Max Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush 5 of 9An electric toothbrush may not be the first thing you think of when you think of white noise — but a very clever reader told me she keeps one in her diaper bag to use for white noise when she's on the go.
Click here to buy from Amazon, $12.00
White and Pink Noise Album 6 of 9When I think of relaxation CDs, I think of ocean crashes, thunderstorms, and waterfalls. But did you know you can buy white noise tracks? Download this to play in baby's nursery — or while on the road on your car stereo.
Click here to buy from Amazon, $3.96
5-inch Personal Fan 7 of 9If you are looking for another portable, easy-to-use option for those times you aren't at home for naps, try stowing this small fan in your diaper bag.
Click here to buy from Amazon, $10.99
12 Hours of White Noise Youtube Video 8 of 9Need a little more than the average amount of white noise? This 12-hour — yes, 12-hour — YouTube video provides a constant stream of white noise. Using this video ensures the white noise plays all the way through the night, and can be used anywhere you have an internet connection.

Rainymood.com 9 of 9If standard white noise doesn't do the trick, you might try the sound of falling rain. Rainymood.com is free and plays rain sounds on loop on the computer.

I liked the sound in the room as well, although for the price tag it wasn't a real 'value' room. Unfortunately, I was turned off by the person in the room who admonished me quite rudely for flicking the power switch on the integrated on the display table off to the side (it was not connected or anything)...I wanted to see how solid it was and tried the switch...He (pierre gabriel? not sure) came over and started angrily telling me not to touch the equipment, or the tubes!?!...I asked why, and he said they were not designed to be played with or something like that. I left quite stunned by his rudeness and wondered why, if someone does not want their equipment to be touched, would they have it on display with no 'do not touch' sign? Further, if touching the power switch would put adverse wear on the thing, it may not really be worth the asking price anyway...(and i have heard from a couple friends experiences that they do have reliability issues with blue smoke and the like)Oh well...gue
Pierre Gabriel
The Pierre Gabriel speakers usually demonstrated at the Montreal show are normally humongous affairs, and, with partnering equipment by Jadis, the system price may leave you with little change from a $500k bill. I was surprised, then, to see a relatively modest-lookingbut still very-good-soundingspeakers playing in the Pierre Gabriel/Jadis room.
The speaker was the 15th Anniversary "Presents" (if my notes are correct), priced at CN$7500/pair. Alas, if you want the accompanying Jadis electronics and digital front end, you have to be prepared to shell out $25,000 for the preamp, $25,000 for the amps, $20,000 for the CD transport...well, you get the idea.

Hundreds of happy local anglers lined the shores of Opossum Lake by the 8 a.m. Saturday opening of the 2013 trout season, the first day of fishing in four years at the popular lake near Carlisle, Cumberland County.
"We raised our kids here on first days," recalled Leann Carey, who lives about five minutes from the lake. "Before they had closed the lake, it was a family tradition. I had lunch and dinner packed the night before and we were here for the duration."
"I've been here for the first day since I was seven, until they closed it up," added her husband, Jeff, who opened his first trout season at the lake 43 years ago, with his father, the late Dale Carey. "Four a.m. every first day."
The 59-acre lake was drained in late 2008 by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, which was responding to cracks and leaks found in the dam's spillway during routine inspections.
In a $3.38 million project completed in February 2012, the spillway was rebuilt.
Funding came from the state's capital budget, Cumberland County, Lower Frankford Township, the Friends of Opossum Lake Conservancy, individuals and the commission.
The FOLC has raised about $100,000 locally from individuals, businesses and small foundations to help restore the lake and provide facilities, such as a picnic pavilion and restrooms, a handicapped accessible fishing pier, new docking facilities, and a handicap accessible trail.
Representatives of all those agencies and organizations joined anglers Saturday morning at the lake for the first cast into the restored water.
However, it was Krista Geyer, of Carlisle, fishing near the dignitaries, who caught one of the first trout – maybe the actual first tout - in Opossum Lake 2.0.
She reeled in the 11-inch rainbow, which had gulped down her Yellow Trout Nuggets bait, at about 8:30 a.m.
"That's awesome," she said the mildly historic fish from the water, where she was a regular first-day angler until four years ago.
"It's nice and close to home," she noted.
Nearby, Amada Rhoades, of Carlisle, pulled in another plump rainbow just a few minutes later, beating her boyfriend Joshua Geyer, also of Carlisle, to the catch.
"It feels pretty nice," she said. "I grew up coming here."
Geyer added, "We were waiting for this."
They agreed with Leann Carey, who commented, "It's been horrible to see it empty. We were afraid it wasn't going to open, but it did."
In addition to trout fishing, she explained, "this lake is a spot where you could do everything, picnic, hiking, the wildlife, the snapping turtles, the fishing, the hunting. Back in the day, we used to bring the dogs here and let them run.
"We raised foster kids here too, kids who never saw families doing anything like this, who were from the inner city and had never been fishing."
And, homeschooling the couple's five now-grown kids, she explained, "I taught lessons out here, about ecosystems and wildlife."
A few tenths of a mile from the lake, Rance Brownawell was happy about the impact the opening of Opossum Lake was having on his home business of 3.5 years, the Opossum Lake Hunting Shop, which also sells fishing gear, lures and bait.
"I like to see it have water in it. It brings business to me," he said, noting that the number of first-day customers was up substantially this year.
He added, "Soon as I opened (at 6:30 a.m.) someone pulled in."

5 a.m. show peaks at 854,000 viewers
LONDON — The much-hyped finale of "Lost" may not have pleased all the critics, but in the U.K. Sky One's decision to screen the skein's final bow at 5 a.m. — to coincide with the U.S. West Coast broadcast — paid dividends.
Despite the early hour, more than 750,000 Brits got up at dawn to watch the end of the "Lost" saga on the News Corp.-controlled pay TV web.
The broadcast peaked at 854,000 viewers and averaged 635,000 overall (a 28.25% share) in the 5 a.m. to 7.15 a.m. graveyard slot.
The audience was larger than the numbers watching "Lost" in its regular, 9 p.m. Friday slot on Sky One. Of late the show has pulled in between 500,000 to 575,000 viewers on Friday nights.
The U.K. pay web was among networks worldwide that broadcast the finale at the same time as the U.S.
Disney, which licenses "Lost," decided on the simultaneous window to minimize online piracy and to amplify buzz around the final episode.
As well as attracting big ratings for Sky One, the show was also an advertising bonanza reportedly generating £1 million ($1.43 million) in revenue as brands like Nike bought airtime.

But when we got home, the leaves had already fallen. Trees were stripped bare, and if by chance, they still clung to their colors — this year, a muted red and orange, a soft yellow, the last green — it was only a matter of time before they, too, were picked clean, scattered by the wind.
In just that long, we'd missed the peak.
We tried to assure each other: The fall colors are early. Or were we too late? We'd lost the rhythm of the land in just seven days.
We'd spent a week in Cape Cod in a glorious old cottage on a salt marsh in Chatham, where the sea meets the land every day during high tide, then recedes as gradually as it arrives, only to repeat the trip the next day.
It was supposed to be a working vacation, time to research Cape Cod's National Seashore while the weather was still good, and we could walk the miles of beaches and dunes saved 50 years ago from commercial development, miraculously left to the wild — and the people.
Nature interrupted us.
It rained four days out of the seven, hard enough to drive us indoors and onto a porch where we found ourselves slowing down, matching the rhythm of the tide.
Every morning, a Great Blue Heron flew from one end of the marsh to the other, making a great, swooping landing in the reeds. Hawks rode the wind, just outside our window. Waterfowl, gulls and terns — and crows, gangs of crows — moved in and out of the marsh, following that day's lunch.
The seashore had to wait.
A year ago, we were on a cranberry bog in West Yarmouth in another cottage straight out of Cape Cod's past with its cedar shake siding and enchanted view of the world. It rained every day on that trip, a nor'easter expected and adding to the vacation landscape.
This year, the rain was a surprise, unforecast and, at first, a disruption, keeping friends away and us secluded. But they had things to do at home, and we had a tidal marsh to monitor and keep us company. And it was no interruption.
We finally got to the sea.
The last full day we were there, the sun shined bright and led us to its shores. There were seals in the water at Coast Guard Beach, peeking at us like so many prairie dogs, alert and watchful. At Nauset beach, the seals were swimming, and people ran to their cars to get their binoculars and cameras, captivated by the sight of something so wild, so near.
That night, we went to sleep back at the cottage with its outdoor shower and broken seashells instead of stones in the driveway, remembering the sound of the surf crashing, waves pounding against sand and dune and rock.
As a child of Lake Michigan, a daughter of the dunes, it was at once a familiar and newfound lullaby.
We were up early the next morning, unwilling to miss the last sunrise over the marsh, even as we finished packing our bags and closed up the porch.
When we landed in Muskegon, far from the sea, we noticed: Just like that, the colors were gone. Soon we found ourselves on the country roads we always travel, and the fields were harvested: corn and wheat, oats and soybeans, and the acres of sunflowers we'd watched bloom before they hung their heads for the season.
We were back on land, and losing our sea legs. Lake Michigan and its dunes are never far, no matter where we are here, but it was the rhythm of the land that called me home.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Lou Holtz was "still in a state of shock" Monday.
His good friend, pilot Dewey "Sonny" Foster, died Sunday night when his plane crashed in a misty rain four miles short of a runway near Beaufort, where Holtz was waiting for him.
Holtz had flown from Moncks Corner, between Charleston and Columbia, to the Beaufort area on the King Air turboprop earlier Sunday. It crashed after refueling in Hilton Head Island, going down in a wooded, isolated part of Oak Island not far from the Lady's Island airport.
Foster died in the fiery wreck. Co-pilot Joe Baier was taken to Beaufort Medical Center for shoulder surgery.
"It was a very close call. It could have happened while we were landing," Holtz said, speaking barely above a whisper.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigator was on the scene Monday.
According to athletic director Mike McGee, the 77-year-old Baier said he and Foster were going through the landing checklist when "it happened suddenly, and he wasn't sure why."
It has been a difficult year for Holtz, personally and professionally, since he accepted South Carolina's football job.
His team finished 0-11, his worst record ever; his son and offensive coordinator, Skip, became severely ill with a virus doctors couldn't immediately diagnose; his wife, Beth, had surgery to remove glands thought to be cancerous; and his mother, Anne Marie, died in November, the day before South Carolina faced Florida.
"It has been a very long year," Holtz said. "The only thing you can do is go on."
Holtz said he flew with Foster about 30 times, and they had grown close.
The 65-year-old retired brigadier general from the South Carolina Air National Guard flew part time for the university for several months and was added to the full-time staff Dec. 1, McGee said.
Foster spent five years flying NASCAR star Cale Yarborough, now a car owner, to racetracks across the country. But Yarborough said Foster didn't want the weekly grind.
"I never met a finer man. I never saw a better pilot," Yarborough said.
Holtz said he realized the plane's manifest listed him as a passenger, so he called his wife and McGee to let them know he was fine.
The university has had the 1977 King Air turboprop since 1982. McGee said it was the university president's plane for several years before it became the athletic department's.

When ice and heavy snow bring down limbs and power lines
When ice and heavy snow bring down limbs and power lines, safety is a consideration indoors and outside. Make sure you know how to weather the storm.
As January 2011 makes way for February, most of the Midwest has endured more snow than normal over the last two months. But Mother Nature has at least one more big punch heading our way, and this storm may dwarf those that came before it.
Weather forecasters are using terms like 'crippling,' 'winter storm of the century,' and 'blizzard' to describe what could impact the eastern 2/3 of the country over the next 72 hours. While most of the area will see significant snowfall, the most dangerous conditions could come from ice accumulations that are expected to top the one inch mark.
Why is an inch of ice more of a problem for power lines than, say, a foot of snow? One inch of ice on a single span of power line weighs as much as 1,250 pounds. And that weight is more damaging than wind in terms of bringing down tree limbs and power lines.
The weight of ice on the lines can bring down utility poles as well. While Tipmont REMC will have crews working to restore power around the clock, some repairs simply take longer than others. And while the lines outside your home might be fine, the high-voltage transmission lines can also be affected by ice storms.
Do you wonder how your co-op decides where to start restoring power? The focus begins with fixing the biggest problems first, prioritizing repairs according to how quickly and safely they can get the most homes back into service.
Think of the flow of electricity as a river in reverse. It originates at a single ocean of power (a generation plant) and diverges from there into a series of transmission lines, substations, and smaller feeder lines until it reaches home and business at a trickle of its original strength.
Transmission lines, which carry power at high voltages from power plants, and local substations, where the voltage is lowered for safe travel to neighborhoods, must both be inspected for damage, then repairs must be made before any other efforts take place. After all, if the substation linked to your neighborhood's power supply has been damaged, it doesn't matter if lineworkers repair every problem near your home – the lights will stay dark.
After restoring the flow of power to local substations, Tipmont REMC will focus on getting power back to the greatest number of members. Distribution lines in highly populated cities and communities are checked for damage and repaired quickly, delivering electricity to most members.
What does this mean? You might live on a farm with neighbors a mile or two away, or you could live in a neighborhood surrounded by 10 or 20 homes. Folks in neighborhoods will likely see power return before members in remote areas. Line repairs are once again prioritized by the number of members who benefit.
After fixing damage blocking power from large groups of members, the co-op focuses on repairing tap lines (also called supply or service lines). These lines deliver power to transformers outside homes and businesses. This is the final stage of power restoration, requiring a bit more patience.
Individual households may receive special attention if loss of electricity affects life-support systems or poses another immediate danger. If you, or a family member, depend on special medical equipment, call Tipmont REMC before an emergency arises.
Please take steps now to prepare for the potential of an extended outage. Our crews will be doing their part to safely restore power as quickly as possible. Do your part to ensure your own safety and comfort, just in case the crippling storm of the century brings a blizzard to your back yard.

Cases of tetanus showing clinical features compatible with a syndrome of sympathetic hyperactivity have previously been observed,1,2 although it was only recently that Kerr et al3 provided some evidence that the source was the sympathetic nervous system. The presence of the syndrome has been considered to denote a relatively poor prognosis,4 and therapy has been aimed at suppressing the hyperactivity to decrease mortality.5 We treated a particularly severe form of this complication with successful therapy.
Patient Summary
A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the Johannesburg Hospital on July 8, 1970. Six weeks prior to admission, she developed an "influenza-like" illness for which she received a course of penicillin injections. Two days before being admitted to the hospital, she consulted her doctor about her complaints of severe backache and a sensation of stiffness in the mouth. She was given trifluoperazine hydrochloride and diazepam and was told to

Online retail is easy and convenient, but shopping is also a social experience and this is where 'bricks and mortar' retailing continues to excel. A visit to a physical store can mean time with family and friends. And there are many purchases that people like to make, where they are able to see, touch and even smell products before making a choice.

This year's American Film Market will take place November 4 – 11, 2009 in Santa Monica, California, US. During that time a total of 445 films will be screened, many of which world premieres. Among those is Marion's much awaited first leading role and her first French film since 'La Vie en Rose' in 'The Last Flight' ('Le dernier vol'). It will be screened at the AMC Loews Broadway #3 cinema on the following days:
Sunday, November 8th – 11:00 AM
The American Film Market (AFM) is a marketplace where producers and sales companies license films to distributors. The AFM is not a festival. As far as I was able to see from their website the event is not open to the general public. As Marion will likely be stationed in that part of the world at the time to film 'Inception' I'm wondering if she'll attend?
In any case, the info page for 'The Last Flight' tells us that the movie has a runtime of 98 minutes and provides us (finally) with an official English synopsis:
Marie, an obstinate, adventuresome, young pilot, sets out to track down her lover, who has vanished in the Sahara during a record flight attempt from London to Cape Town. Her unexpected arrival turns life upside down for a remote French Camel Corps troop that is already preoccupied with the stirrings of a Tuareg uprising.
Antoine, a captain in conflict with his superior officers, decides to help Marie with her desperate quest across a grandiose and hostile sea of sand.
In the oppressive heat, their desire to survive slowly binds them in a disturbing and unexpected love story.
Let's hope all goes well for 'The Last Flight' and some US distributor picks it up so that it will find its way to US theatres soon!
2 Responses to "'The Last Flight' World Premiere"
I wish I could go to this screening!! But the best we can do is hope it finds a US distributor.. and one that will distribute it SOON! =) A little shorter runtime than I expected, but that's fine.Oct 13, 09 at 4:14 pm
I noticed an interesting tibdit regarding this. The running time. According to Gaumont's website it's going to be 80 minutes yet the AFM press release states 98 minutes. Not sure which is the correct one, though being the type of film it is it'd probably need the additional 18 minutes for the story to run smoother.Oct 15, 09 at 2:39 pm

Charleston Animal Society was recently named a top-rated charity organization by Charity Navigator, the nations largest charity watchdog organization. Charity Navigators 4 Star designation is reserved for charities that exceed industry standards and outperforms most charities in its cause. This makes Charleston Animal Society the only animal organization in South Carolina to attain this distinction.
Charity Navigator is the largest charity evaluator in America and its website attracts more visitors than all other charity rating groups combined. The organization helps guide intelligent giving by evaluating the Financial Health and Accountability and Transparency of 6,000 charities. Charity Navigator accepts no advertising or donations from the organizations it evaluates, ensuring unbiased evaluations, nor does it charge the public for this trusted data.
Founded 138 years ago in the heart of downtown Charleston, the mission of the Charleston Animal Society is to prevent cruelty to animals by finding homes for homeless animals, containing outbreaks of rabies and other deadly diseases, reuniting lost pets with their families, fighting hunger when food is unaffordable, teaching children to be kind to animals and each other and saving the lives of abused, abandoned and unwanted animals.
As Charlestons largest animal rescue organization, Charleston Animal Society cares for 90 percent of the Charleston areas unwanted, abused and abandoned animals, yet continues to drive down the Charleston communitys euthanasia rate. In 2012, it spent more than $500,000 treating animals that are ill or injured, many times in dire health, and saved more than 70 percent of all the animals that came to the shelter, making it the leader among large animal shelters in South Carolina and a national model.
Charleston Animal Society is also the states largest spay/neuter provider. In 2011, its spay/neuter programs sterilized more than 12,000 animals, which made a significant dent in the communitys animal overpopulation problem.
Additionally, Charleston Animal Society is South Carolinas number one adoption provider, has the states most successful Community Cat Trap-Neuter-Return Program, a nationally recognized Veterinary Science Initiative with high school students, and the largest hands-on humane education program in schools reaching over 15,000 kids each year. By staying firmly focused on its mission, Charleston Animal Society saves more animals than all other animal organizations in Charleston County combined.

NEW YORK – At 7:37 p.m. on Friday, the next phase of this Yankees season commenced. Mark Teixeira stepped into the batter's box for the first time in 2013. A sizable ovation greeted him, the loudest cheers heard during this recent stand at Yankee Stadium.
Teixeira had missed the season's first 53 games, laid low by a strained tendon in his wrist in March. He returned to the club, along with infielder Kevin Youkilis, on Friday afternoon. Each played a part in the team's 4-1 victory over Boston, the American League East division leaders.
Teixeira squared off with Red Sox starter Jon Lester to begin the second inning. He repeated a basic mantra, the sort that makes manager Joe Girardi appreciate the grinding quality of his at-bats. "I wanted to make him work," Teixeira said.
Teixeira saw seven pitches, tossed his bat to the side and jogged to first base with a walk. He scored the team's first run later that frame. Youkilis added an RBI single three innings later. As the lineup reverted closer to full strength, so did starter CC Sabathia (5-4, 3.71 ERA). He dominated the Red Sox, racking up 10 strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings. Boston tagged him for a run on two doubles in the seventh.
It was a restorative evening for the Yankees. They snapped a five-game losing streak. Their ace resembled his former self. Their offense appeared to round into form, taking four walks after three games without a free pass. Closer Mariano Rivera rebounded from his first blown save of the season last week, picking up his 19th save.
"We needed it badly," Rivera said. "We needed to come back to the winning side."
They also needed Teixeira (0-for-3 after his walk) and Youkilis (1-for-4). The duo helps stabilize their lineup, an offense that appeared to collapse during a disconcerting four-game sweep against the Mets. Each man provides a modicum of patience and power.
"These guys grind out at-bats," Girardi said. "That's what they do. So I think their impact is big. We need to keep them healthy. It changes our lineup. It really does. Because it gives us a better balance."
Teixeira, the switch-hitter, is so critical to that mix. On March 5, as he prepared for an exhibition game before the World Baseball Classic, he felt soreness in his right wrist. Doctors diagnosed a partially-torn tendon sheath. They pegged season-ending surgery as a 30-percent possibility.
Even so, Teixeira exuded optimism. He projected a return by May 1. That never materialized. Teixeira became bogged down in the tedium of rehabilitation. He fortified strength in the wrist from rock bottom. He spent days merely swinging at air, gradually building strength.
Yet the threat of surgery still looms. Teixeira has pledged to be open and honest with the training staff. If he feels anything, he plans to tell them. For now, at least, he has no issues to report.
"There's no soreness," Teixeira said. "No stiffness. There's nothing to make anybody think there's something wrong with the wrist."
Youkilis preached a similar line about his balky lower back. Before Friday, he had played just once since April 20. A lower lumbar strain kept him away from the club for more than a month.
After Teixeira walked in the second, Vernon Wells doubled him to third. Jayson Nix and Ichiro Suzuki each contributed an RBI single. Youkilis came through in the fifth. The team added an insurance run in the seventh. Sabathia held the line from there, allowing his team to start anew after a desultory week.
"That's how you draw it up," Teixeira said. "Two aces on the mound. Give your ace a couple runs early. Just a great game."

Ulster Bank takes action to repossess home of elderly Dublin couple
This was one of 15 taken by the Ulster Bank out of a list of 20 repossession cases
Counsel for the couple claimed the bank had not complied with the code of conduct for dealing with people in mortgage arrears. Photograph: Reuters
Ulster Bank began legal action to repossess the home of a Dublin couple in their late 70s at the County Registrar's Court yesterday.
The case was one of 15 taken by the Ulster Bank out of a list of 20 repossession cases.
Counsel for the couple said his clients had been living in their home "for upwards of 41 years". They had financial difficulties and had come to an arrangement with the bank, which they continued to honour. The couple had appointed a solicitor, yet the bank had sent the paperwork to repossess their home directly to them.
He said the couple, who were not present in court, were "crying out for dialogue" with the bank, but the bank was refusing to talk to them. He claimed the bank had not complied with the code of conduct for dealing with people in mortgage arrears.
Code of conduct
County registrar Patricia Casey said the bank must comply with the code of conduct. And if a solicitor is acting for a client, all correspondence must go to the solicitor, she said, and not to the individual's home. She adjourned the case until January.
In a separate case, also taken by the Ulster Bank, a man attended court on behalf of his son and described his situation as "hopeless".
His son was psychotic and bi-polar, he said. At the time he took out his mortgage, he had been working in IT and was fully capable of repaying it, but now was "incapable of dealing with life".
Ms Casey adjourned the case to January and advised the man to talk to the bank's solicitors.

In this video, Fool contributor Andrew Tonner breaks down the move and how it could help drive Apple's next great innovation and blow the competition away.

I'm picking 3rd in a 12 man league with .5 ppr. Which one of these WR should I take in round 2?!
3 replies , Last at 29 Aug 2010, 8:54pm by socctty
I'm partial to Colston myself, but it may be due to a late-season trade I once made where I nabbed him for Favre and had a WR corps where he was the WR3.
I'd go Colston, Jennings, DeSean.
I'd put Jackson at a distant third among those three since there are still questions about Kolb. No need to take on risk you don't need among similar performers. Between Colston and Jennings I don't think you can go wrong. I'd prefer Jennings but it's really a toss-up.
Yea, I agree. I think DeSean Jackson is really fun to watch, but I think he has a lot of big-yardage TDs. I don't trust those guys (although I suspect I am being a bit irrational).

Instead Tennessee falls to 10-9, 3-3, and must now play its next two games on the road, beginning with a contest at Auburn on Saturday. Add the uncertain status of senior captain and low post player Brandon Crump to the equation and the extended road trip, which includes four of five games away from Thompson-Boling Arena, figures to continue it's current uphill course.
Uphill describes the Vols struggle against the Wildcats without Crump who sat out the game an ankle sprain. Kentucky (15-2, 6-0) seized advantage early and led for all but about 30 seconds of the first half. No. 6 UK built a 44-33 cushion at the half and never let UT closer than six points in the second half en route to its sixth straight win in the series. The Vols cut the gap to 40-43 on a three-pointer by Scooter McFadgon with 13:10 to go in the game, but Kentucky went on a 15-3 run to put the game out of reach.
The Wildcats overcame their own significant injury when team leader, top rebounder and second-leading scorer Chuck Hayes left the game early in the first half with what was diagnosed as a broken nose.
Even without their best board man, the Wildcats still out rebounded the Vols 41-29. On the offensive end junior guard Patrick Sparks scored a game-high 19 points, highlighted by 4-of-10 shooting from three point range. Junior small forward Kelenna Azubuike added 17 points for the Cats who shot 47.8 percent from the field (32 of 67).
Tennessee was led freshman Chris Lofton with 17 points, including 5-of-9 shooting from three-point range. The 2003-04 Mr. Kentucky Basketball also had three rebounds and three assists. His three-pointer midway through the first half put the Vols up 21-20 before Kentucky went on a 19-5 run to regain control of the game.
Sophomore Major Wingate saw his playing time increase with Crump's absence and he responded with a career high 14 points, one better than 13 he scored against Louisville. He added six rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals to a solid overall game. C.J. Watson scored 12 points and dished out a game high seven assists, while Andre Patterson grabbed a game high 10 rebounds for the Vols, who connected on 25 of 54 from the field (46.3).
UK had just nine turnovers for the game compared to UT's 17. The Wildcats had 17 assists vs. 15 for the Vols. Kentucky was called for just 10 personal fouls to Tennessee's 20 and outscored the Vols from the free throw line 13-of-23 to 6-of-9.
Kentucky's biggest advantage was a deep bench that provided 31 points and 19 rebounds to Tennessee's reserves contributions of eight points and two boards.

Campo Bahia Opens...But Only if You are on the German National Soccer Team
June 12, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
World Cup fever has hit worldwide! Brazil is playing host this time around, and one lucky team has gotten the VIP treatment at a brand-new luxury resort. The resort is currently the accommodation for the German Football Team during the World Cup 2014.
Situated in the village of Santo André in the state of Bahia, the sport and nature resort Campo Bahia covers 15,000 square metres and contains 14 two-story houses with a total of 65 residential units. Campo Bahia is very close to Santa Cruz Cabrália, where Portuguese seafarer Pedro Álvares Cabral landed when he first discovered Brazil in 1500. The resort has been built with careful attention to sustainability and the natural environment. The materials used in construction were sourced locally, while the trees which had to be removed were transplanted rather than chopped down.
Constructing these facilities has been a boost to lasting infrastructural development in the Santo André and Santa Cruz Cabrália area. The effects include the establishment of long-term skilled jobs – in the catering and hotel sectors, for example – and the integration of the local communities and the Pataxó Indian reserve. The whole project is based on the principles of responsible tourism, eco-friendliness and sustainability.
In addition to providing luxury accommodations to the soccer players, the hotel has asked seven Brazilian and seven German artists to create works of art for the buildings and the surrounding area. The artists selected for this task were chosen for their engagement with issues of cultural and social identity.
After the World Cup, the resort will open for booking for guests who don't happen to play professional football.

Featured Golf News
Golf is Stocked at Lake of the Ozarks
Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, located some 180 miles from St. Louis, 170 miles from Kansas City and 90 miles from Springfield, is not the easiest place to get to. But it is that remoteness, along with the lake's reputation as the Midwest's premier lake resort destination, that send vacationers - especially golfers, boaters and fishermen - scurrying here year-round.
A Waterfall and Fall Colors Enhance Old Kinderhook
Then there's the shopping, variety of lodgings, restaurants, state parks and sundry outdoor activities to suit any budget and taste. Lake of the Ozarks vacations are also defined by the lake and its many waterfront accommodations, eateries and entertainment venues.
Lake of the Ozarks has more than 1,100 miles of shoreline in four different Missouri counties. The massive water body is the largest manmade lake in the Midwest and has made it a popular vacation spot for visitors from all over the world.
A big part of the allure is that the region boasts 279 holes of golf, with many featuring water and elevation changes created by the area's endemic rolling hills. During a recent trip to the area, we played six courses over a three-day period. That's a lot of golf.
This is the first of three reports resulting from that excursion, which was enjoyable despite intermittent rains that kept us on cart paths for the majority of the trip and tested the drainage capabilities of the courses.
The 7th green at Old Kinderhook
Old Kinderhook Flaunts Weiskopf's Best Qualities
Set among the valleys surrounding the lake and offering spectacular vistas, the Club at Old Kinderhook in Camdenton was the best of the six-pack of courses we played in the area. Designed by Tom Weiskopf and opened in 1999, the track meanders through the Ozark Hills and optimizes undulating topography, rock waterfalls and flowering trees. Each hole seems to capture a special aspect of the terrain and create a delightful experience.
With few forced carries, reasonable width and no tricked-up design elements, Old Kinderhook is fair but demanding. The 6,855-yard, par-71 layout features zoysia tees and fairways, and large bentgrass greens. From the tips, it carries a 72.7 rating and 137 slope.
With a 430-yard start and back-to-back two-shotters at the 432-yard fourth and the 446-yard fifth, Old Kinderhook's front side is defined by its par-4s. Water is prevalent on Nos. 4, 5 and 8 (another testy par-4 that plays over a creek and involves a greenside pond), but not enough of a problem for low handicappers. Meanwhile, Nos. 4, 6 and 9, the later of which is the front's lone par-5 and - at 514-yards, can be reached by two long and accurate shots.
Though the par-4 10th is a force to be reckoned with, the back nine switches tack with two par-3s and pair of par-5s. At 202 yards, the 11th has a shallow green flanked by sand. The back side's other one-shotter is the 206-yard 16th, which can be a bear if the cup is cut back-right behind a bunker next to the oval-shaped putting surface.
The 559-yard 14th brings four huge bunkers and two smaller ones into play on the second shot and approach, and the closer, a 516-yard par-5, turns slightly right off the tee and is lined by lakes on both sides.
Golf Digest gave Old Kinderhook a 4½-star rating, while Golfweek ranks it as one of the top semiprivate tracks in Missouri. Though challenging for the serious golfer, Old Kinderhook has a player-friendly personality. The contours and elevation changes are subtle, and there are level landing areas, a rare characteristic in this part of the country.
The course serves as the centerpiece of the 700-plus-acre Old Kinderhook community. Along with the two practice greens, an 11-acre practice facility, short-game and bunker practice areas, the facility features a golf shop, member clubhouse with locker rooms, two restaurants and banquet space.

Sycamore Creek's 3d Hole & Adjoining Hatcheries
Sycamore Creek Tempts Swinging from the Heels
The short but challenging Sycamore Creek Golf Club in Osage Beach is a fine companion to Old Kinderhook. Designed by Pete Kahrs and build around fish hatchery ponds owned for more than 50 years by his family, the layout utilizes every inch of natural elevation to tempt big hitters off the tee.
Opened as a nine-hole facility in 1995 and expanded to 18 in 1999, the course features zoysia teeing areas, Bermuda fairways and Crenshaw bentgrass greens. Beautiful native trees engird most fairways, giving the layout a mature look. Water, provided by the hatchery's ponds and runoff from the Ozark Hills, adds appeal to the course, which has been voted one of the two most popular layouts in the area for the past eight years.
The plethora of water lends much charm to Sycamore Creek. Care has been taken to keep the hatchery and course in balance, with golf course chemicals carefully managed to keep irrigation and pond water habitat-safe. This is a tricky balancing act, but one the Kahrs family takes seriously.
In the spring, when the area experiences its share of sudden showers, some golfers may take shelter in the hatchery building, enabling them to observe fish at the height of their spawning season. The most talked-about fish in the hatchery is the paddlefish, or spoonbill. These large creatures, 4 to 5 feet in length, are held in tanks until it's time for them to spawn.
The par-72, 6,279-yard layout tempts players with a series of short par-4s that seemingly can be taken advantage of. Its longest two-shotter is the dogleg-left 418-yard 13th, the only par-4 in excess of 400 yards.
The hatchery ponds are most evident on the front side, and you will play over and around them on the 358-yard par-4 second and the 377-yard, par-4 third, making accurate drives on these holes a must. On the 320-yard, par-4 eighth, a creek enters play but can be avoided with a decent drive.
The back side starts with a downhill, 628-yard par-5 with a shallow green guarded by one of the few bunkers on the course. Your next tests come when approaching the shallow, two-tiered green at the 375-yard, par-4 11th; the tee shot at the 318-yard, par-4 15th (which runs downhill to a pond-fronted green); and the 331-yard 16th, which turns slightly right before rising to an elevated putting surface.
You can get a shot back on the closer, a 458-yard downhill-then-back-uphill par-5 that requires a lot more club than indicated by the yardage.
Sycamore Creek is one of the best "homegrown" courses you may play, yet, with a rating of 68.6 and 123 slope from the tips you should be able to score here. For more information or a tee time, visit www.sycamorecreekgolfclub.com.

William T. Wood & Co.
Arlington, Massachusetts
circa 1894
Tool Types
Ice Tools
Directory of American Toolmakers Information
DATM (Nelson 1999) lists William T. Wood & Co. in Arlington, MA, from 1845 - 1905. The text "Town of Arlington, Past and Present" by Charles Symme Parker (1907) notes that William T. Wood came there about 1841 and started working with Abner Wyman making and repairing ice tools. He purchased the business in 1845 and ran it by himself until partnering with his brother Cyrus in 1858. He died in 1871. His son, William E. Wood, took over, retaining the name of William T. Wood & Co. In 1905 the company was consolidated with Gifford Brothers of Hudson, NY, as Gifford-Wood Co.
Identifying Marks

General Information
A surviving undated price list seems consistent with 1894 printing techniques, but is apparently a condensed version of a larger catalog. It deals mainly in ice-related tools, elevators, picks, shavers, saws, tongs and so on.

Tax Breaks Need Scrutiny
Missing Provision in Senate Tax Bill Should Be Reinserted
SOURCE: AP/Ed Andrieski
A small but important item is missing from the tax framework bill negotiated by the Obama administration and congressional leaders and introduced in the Senate last night. The provision, which has already been passed by the House of Representatives in separate legislation, would require Congress to evaluate for effectiveness special business tax breaks that Congress renews on a year-to-year basis. The reviews would provide basic information to Congress about whether each of these tax breaks serves its intended purpose.
The provision was included in legislation introduced by Sen. Max Baucus last week and has already passed the House as part of a separate bill. It's unclear why it was not included in the latest version of tax legislation introduced last night. The Senate and House should make sure it is added back in before the legislation is finalized.
This study is long overdue. About 50 tax provisions are regularly scheduled to expire every year. Many of these breaks benefit targeted industries such as ethanol producers, filmmakers, and financial services companies operating abroad. Congress typically waits until the waning days of the legislative session to take up the tax breaks, then bundles them together in a "tax extenders" bill.
Problem is, there is no systematic process for reviewing the effectiveness of particular tax provisions, so members of Congress have little opportunity to learn about, weigh, or debate their merits. Some of the tax breaks are left out of the final "extenders" package and die off, but Congress usually extends most of them for another year. A tax break's survival is sometimes just a matter of which lobbyist got the last word in.
The provision in the House legislation, authored by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), would require the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation to review each of these so-called "tax extenders" in consultation with the Government Accountability Office and present its findings to Congress. These ongoing studies would evaluate tax extenders on the basis of 10 criteria, all intended to provide Congress with basic information: What purpose do they serve? Do they work? Should they be made permanent? Should they be scrapped?
Most of these tax extenders are part of a broader universe of "tax expenditures," those special exemptions, deductions, and credits in the tax code that amount to more than $1 trillion a year. Last week, President Barack Obama's deficit-reduction panel suggested eliminating all but a few tax expenditures. And the president recently said he is contemplating a broad overhaul of the tax code that would reduce tax expenditures.
As policymakers turn their attention to tax expenditures, it's critical they understand which ones work and which don't. That's why the Center for American Progress has emphasized the need for greater scrutiny and transparency of tax expenditures—and the tax extender study is an important step toward this end. As Carl Davis of Citizens for Tax Justice notes, putting the study back in the Senate bill "would signal Congress' interest in tax reform, deficit reduction, and general government efficiency."
Congress should halt its annual cycle of extending significant and costly tax provisions without reviewing their effectiveness. The tax extenders study has widespread support and should be noncontroversial. Lawmakers should add the missing provision back into the tax bill so that the next Congress can finally make well-informed decisions about which tax breaks are worth keeping.

Layout View makes it easy and intuitive to create and modify your forms. Double-click on the Sales Reps and Customers Form to open it, and drop down this button to change it to Layout View. When you click on the different words in the boxes, they get an orange box around them so that you can modify them. These words are called labels, or unbound controls. The boxes that contain the data are called bound controls, because they're bound, or attached, to the source data in the table.
Let's start by choosing a theme. Click on this button and go down to Foundry. Themes change the colors and the fonts in your object. We'll click on Foundry, and it turns our forms green. It makes the font more interesting. You can also come over to this Colors dropdown and modify the color scheme. If you want to create your own for use across your entire database, click down here on Create New Theme Colors. For example, let's change the Background from white to a very light green.
Change the Name down here to Two Trees, and click Save. Now we have a green background. If you don't like it, you can open up the Color dropdown again, and right-click on your Custom color scheme and edit it, and change the color to something else instead, and then click Save again. Click on this Plus sign in the corner of the form to select the whole thing at once. You can then change the font scheme for the entire form.
We're going to go ahead and leave it on Foundry. Now, Layout View is table-based, so, the controls are all organized into rows and columns. You can resize the fields as a group, by clicking on one of the cells, holding the cursor over the side you want to move, and dragging it. For example, HomePhone is cut off, so I'll click on it, get the double-headed arrow, and make it a little wider. I noticed that my State field is awfully big, because it's in the same row as my picture.
If I rearrange the form, I can also put CellPhone down here, below HomePhone. So, click on the Arrange tab, then click on HomePhone, and up here, insert a new row below the HomePhone. Click on the CellPhone label and hold your Shift key to click the phone number as well. Get a four-headed arrow, pick them up and drag them down into this cell, and drop, and they'll both move. Resize the bottom to make it a little bit taller.
Let's move these labels and controls up. Click on Email, hold the Shift key down, and click on the $11.00. Because I held the Shift key, it highlights all of those cells. Use this Move Up button to move them all up at once. Click on Flag and Shift+Click on the check box, use Move Up again, and it will jump above Photo into the blank space. Now, click on the photograph itself and hold the Shift key down, and click on the third row below the picture, so that all four of these cells are highlighted, and then click on Merge to turn them into one.
Also notice the Split Vertically and Horizontally buttons, if you want to align controls next to each other. Now, click on the State field, grab its bottom border and drag it up. There, much better! Now, if I want to see more of my Customer table, I have a few different options. I can drag my fields bigger and smaller, or double-click on them. I can also hide fields that I don't want to see. If I right-click on Address, I can come up here to Hide Fields, and I'll do the same for Address2.
I also have the Scroll Bar, so I can scroll over to the right-hand side. I can also make the sub-form longer by clicking on the right-hand edge and dragging it longer. If I want to change the alternating row colors, come up here to Form tools for the Datasheet, and it has its own specific set of colors. I'll click on Alternate Row Color, and I'll change it from blue to green so that it matches the above. Next, let's make our labels bold. I'll click on EmpID, the label right here, and go to the Arrange tab, and I'm going to select the column.
Then I'll go to the Format tab, and choose B, for Bold. Then I'll do the same thing for this row right here. I'll click on Email, click on Arrange, select the column, go back to Format and make it bold. If I don't like the appearance of the boxes, I can change those as well, using Shape Fill and Shape Outline. I'll click on the Plus sign to select the whole form. Click on Shape Fill, and I'll choose a slightly lighter green to fill the boxes.
If I want to change the outlines of the boxes, I can change the color of the outline here, and the thickness here. I could also make it dotted or dashed, if I'd like. Next, I'm going to do some conditional formatting to highlight some unusual values. For example, maybe I would like all of the salaries above $15 to turn red. I'll click up on Conditional Formatting and make a new rule. I am going to use the values in the current record, and I want the Field Value to be greater than or equal to 15.
I'll make those bold and red. Then I'll click OK. If I want to set Conditional Formatting Rules for more than one field, or if I want to make multiple rules for one field, I can do that right here in this window. I'll click OK. Now, nothing happened here for Jordan, but if I go to the next Sales Rep, Lilah, she makes $31 an hour, so hers are bold and red. Let's go back again to Jordan. Now, I can also control the distance between the words and the edges of the cells, and the distance between the cells themselves using, on the Arrange tab, Control Margins and Control Padding.
First, select the entire table using this plus right here. Control Margins, let's try the different options: Narrow, Medium, and Wide. Let's go back to Narrow. Then for the Padding, try Narrow, Medium, and Wide. We're going to go with Medium. Now that we've made so many changes to our form, let's go over to the Design tab, and then click on the Datasheet View to see how it looks.
As you can see, using the Layout View makes it easy to modify your forms so that they are both functional and attractive.
- Understanding database concepts and terminology
- Building tables with Application Parts
- Defining field properties
- Creating relationships between fields and tables
- Sorting and filtering
- Creating forms with the Form Wizard
- Analyzing data with the Query Designer

Because CAPSTONE has been NOMINATED for BOOK OF THE YEAR in the YATR 2013 AWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my work's first nomination and I am so excited to be on the list!!!
OH!!! And YOU CAN HELP!!
You can vote for it to win RIGHT HERE!!! Just scroll for the BOOK OF THE YEAR category, click on it and you'll see Capstone listed among the nominations!
And you guys know it's Tuesday, right? And you know what that means, right? It means I've got a FLY HOUSE teaser for you, right? Of course right!!
So, do you want to meet Maeve Aypotu, the badass black sheep of THE FLY HOUSE?
Here is a taste of what Maeve's all about on this teaser Tuesday:
Teaser #2
Once or twice, Maeve had been on the verge of giving in. Sometimes it seemed easier—settling for a world she hated, but knew how to navigate. Unfortunately, she sucked at holding the rigid pose required to fit into the airbrushed, fireplace-painted lives of the upper class. The pretentious gestures and fraudulent etiquette made her want to barf club soda. There was just no place in the cream of her society's crop for a girl who could knot a cherry stem with her tongue and dangle it from her navel piercing.
Maeve scared off the Metro Society Rats pretty easily by refusing to bite her tongue when her opinions surfaced. It terrified them when she called bullshit on their excuses. Panicked them when she demanded respect. It made her an outcast when she refused to offer them second chances.
The Rats had no idea what to do with her. They didn't view her tattoos and piercings and buckled shitkickers as a symbol of her strength. Instead, they regarded them as the diamond on a cobra's head. The Rats were scared witless at the prospect of tangling with something so much more powerful than themselves.

To me they seem a bit too plain
Here are two mocks of Wii Case Headers/Banners. I hope Nintendo uses a similar to style to the mocks, as it is simple and sleek, similar to the wii. Here are my mocks:
The second mock uses a similar theme to my redesigned banner, which you can see below with the diagonal lines:

To me they seem a bit too plain
they look really great, do u do em?
Name: Juan
No Asking For Rep
Thanks Arcadium , I made them using Macromedia Fireworks, and I also used the official Wii font. Eventhough they are plain, they are very similar to what PS2 and XBOX 360 case banners look like, simple, sleek and not to cluttered.Originally Posted by Arcadium
Also, I was wondering what version of the mock is better, number one, or number two?
Numnber 2 is better those lines add a little bit of depth but its still need something, maybe some curves
Yeah, number 2 seems the ideal choice.
Nothing more to say.
#2 is cool. I do agree that for a banner for something like the Wii it should be left simple, but still sleek and smooth. Maybe add some sort of gradient in the grey background and maybe some specular (shiny) lighting?
All in all...great concept!
I actually prefer #1. If you're gonna do plain, you may as well do it properly.
number 2 definately
yeah i think it needs some curves but very good work i could never make something that good
See I made it my own! RELIGION *whoosh* wow a 50 page thread bout how there beliefs are right and you are all wrong wow. Oh do want to be different rep! even if I don't help it seems to happen a lot here

At the February 2016 State Board of Education meeting, the Financial Literacy Model Curriculum was approved. Thank you to all who took time to submit ideas and suggestions for the model curriculum!
Financial Literacy Model Curriculum
The Financial Literacy Pearltree contains links and resources for educators teaching this content.
State law (3313.603 (C)(7) requires integration of economics and financial literacy within one or more social studies classes or another class.
Common questions about financial literacy are answered in the Financial Literacy FAQ.
Academic Content Standards
Draft financial literacy standards for primary and middle grades can be accessed here. Unlike other grade level standards, these have been created for primary grades and middle grades and are included under each of the 27 high school content statements. How and when that information is integrated into the classroom remains a local decision. Unlike the high school standards, teacher licensure in financial literacy is not a requirement at this time as, these are not intended to be stand-alone courses, but rather integrated content to be included within the scope of other content areas as appropriate in local courses of study.
