XL2043/PK Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for XL2043. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. The XL2043 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Valmax collections 2016 and 2017.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. The semi-rim frame has an emphatic lightness which is perfectly suitable for different occasions and different outfits. The rectangular shape of the frame exudes self-confidence and power. Especially for round shaped faces, the rectangle is a perfect counterpoint. Frames made of titanium are particularly elegant. They lend the appearance a certain lightness, because they have up to 50% less weight than comparable eyewear made of other materials. They are also extremely stable, independent of the thickness of the frame. The colour pink is a real all-rounder. It can be ladylike, be chic in the right combination and can be worn with a twinkle in your eye. For men who have the courage, pink is still en vogue.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.

SCN-resistant soybean varieties listed in updated publication
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a serious and widespread pest of soybean throughout Iowa and the Midwest. Fortunately, SCN-resistant soybean varieties have been developed and are an effective management tool. To assist growers in choosing SCN-resistant varieties, Iowa State University Extension annually compiles and publishes a list of public and private SCN-resistant soybean varieties in maturity groups I, II, and III.
This year's list contains information on 586 varieties. Eighty-four percent of the varieties listed have SCN resistance derived solely from the soybean breeding line 'PI88788'. There are 35 varieties in the list that contain SCN resistance that traces back to 'Hartwig', nine that have resistance from 'Peking', and 10 that have two sources of resistance listed.
Approximately 83 percent of the varieties listed in the publication are resistant to glyphosate herbicide.
Soybean check-off funds provided by the Iowa Soybean Promotion Board supported the cost of printing the publication, and the publication was distributed as a special insert in the November 2004 issue of the Iowa Soybean Review magazine. Additional single copies of the list, Iowa State University Extension publication PM 1649, can be obtained from the Iowa State University Extension Distribution Center by calling 515-294-5247.
Alternatively, the publication can be viewed on the web (PDF).
Number of SCN-resistant soybean varieties available to Iowa growers and the proportion of varieties with resistance from 'PI88788' or some other source, 1991-2004.

Peruvian Restaurant in Tucson Planning to Open Second Location in Scottsdale Promenade
Bye-bye Rumbi, hello Inca's.
Rumbi Island Grill, part of a chain in Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Arizona, has said, "aloha" to its location in the Scottsdale Promenade (next to Subway and Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen), and will soon be a second home for Inca's Peruvian Cuisine.
The original location of Inca's, in Tucson's Foothills, opened in November of 2009 courtesy of owner Fatima Campos, according to the Arizona Daily Star. At that time, Campos brought in chef Walter Salazar who eventually left and, as of August of this year, opened up his own restaurant, Villa Peru, in Tempe.
Perfect timing given the growing popularity of Peruvian cuisine. Look for an eclectic variety of traditional dishes such as well as desserts, beverages, and cocktails.

Robert Tchenguiz challenges SFO raid
Robert Tchenguiz has launched a legal challenge against the Serious Fraud Office's decision to raid his home and workplace as part of its investigation into the collapsed Kaupthing Bank.
The tycoon said that he had "no option" but to seek a judicial review after being advised that the SFO's actions were illegal.
Mr Tchenguiz and his brother Vincent were arrested on March 9 as part of a British-Icelandic investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bank's failure. Both were released later without charge.
Robert Tchenguiz claims that the SFO refused to accept three offers of co-operation made before his arrest, and that its failure to inform the court of his overtures when it was seeking warrants to raid his premises was illegal.
He said: "The SFO…

James Cameron's sci-fi epic has broken another record as it is named the highest grossing movie in U.K. box office by pulling in $6.9 million in its eighth week of release.
James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" has broken another record - the blockbuster has become the highest grossing film in U.K. box office history. The Oscar-nominated movie pulled in $6.9 million in its eighth week of release, pushing it over the $115 million mark since it hit British cinemas in December 2009.
The massive ticket sales mean "Avatar" has now overtaken ABBA musical "Mamma Mia!" to become Britain's best-selling film ever. The news comes just a week after the movie broke U.S. box office records, putting it ahead of Cameron's 1997 hit "Titanic" as the best-selling North American release of all time.
In the U.K. chart, Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" was a new entry taking $3.5 million, followed by "Astro Boy", "Invictus" and "Sherlock Holmes".

Introduction to Ecological Economics
Term: Summer 2005, June 10-August 5
Class Hours: Fri, 9 AM – 12:00 PM
Office hours: Fri, 1-3 PM
Instructor: Gary Flomenhoft
Gund Institute for Ecological Economics
email: email@example.com
cv: http://www.uvm.edu/giee/cvs/Garyvita.htm
VLS office phone: 802-831-1278
Cell phone: 508-237-4012
Prerequisites: None required. Some basic economics is useful.
Course Description:
Conventional (neo-classical) economics assumes that the economy can continue to grow forever, that welfare is determined only by market goods, and that people always act selfishly. Ecological economics in contrast, starts from the understanding that the economy is a sub-system of the global environment, and subject to its bio-physical limits. In addition, human welfare is determined by many other factors besides market goods: friendship, love, status, rights, freedom, etc. Also human behavior is far more complex than simple self-interest. Ecological economics recognizes that the interactions between the human system and the global ecosystem cannot be understood from within the framework of any single discipline. Therefore ecological economics is a "transdiscipline" encompassing ecological, social, and economic perspectives.
Course Objectives:
• Train students in the theory of ecological economics as it applies to society and the environment;
• Clarify the distinction between ecological economics and conventional economics;
• Apply the theory to real-life as you might apply it in your future work;
• Give you the opportunity to apply the theory to a real life problem of your choice during the course, to help you decide whether or not the theory is sound;
• Foster group work and research skills;
• Stimulate students to think outside the box, and question the conventional wisdom.
Course Project and Assignments:
In groups or individually, you will be asked to carry out a course project that will explain how in future careers as environmental attorneys you would use the concepts learned in the course to solve a real problem affecting your issues. The projects must address the three main themes in ecological economics:
• Scale-- the physical size of the economic system relative to the ecosystem that sustains it;
• Distribution— how are resources divided among individuals;
• Allocation—how are resources apportioned among different uses.
These concepts will be explained in detail during the course.
Course project/Final paper 40%
3 Short Papers (scale, distribution, allocation): 20% each = 60%

Surname meaning for "Woodruff"
English: topographic name for someone who lived on a patch of land where woodruff grew, Old English wudurofe (a compound of wudu 'wood' with a second element of unknown origin). The leaves of the plant have a sweet smell and the surname may also have been a nickname for one who used it as a perfume, or perhaps an ironical nickname for a malodorous person.

Tokyo (AFP) Dec 8, 2012
A Japanese government minister has come under fire from the opposition for saying North Korea should "waste no time" in holding its planned rocket launch so he can campaign in earnest for the upcoming election.
Pyongyang announced last week that it would launch a rocket -- ostensibly aimed at placing a satellite in orbit -- between December 10 and 22, prompting neighbouring countries to guard against a suspected long-range missile flight.
On a visit to his constituency in Osaka on Friday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said government duties were limiting his time to campaign as a candidate for the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), ahead of the general election on December 16.
Asked by reporters when he would come home again to put his campaign in full swing, he replied: "Basically, it depends on when the North Korean missile goes up. It will be great if they waste no time and send it up on Monday."
Opposition parties have taken advantage of his apparent gaffe to step up their attack on the centre-left party, widely criticised for being incompetent during its three years in power.
They demanded Fujimura's resignation, saying his duty was to help stop North Korea from launching a rocket.
"We cannot defend Japan with such a chief cabinet secretary. We aim to regain power," former prime minister Shinzo Abe, head of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, said on Saturday in a campaign speech in northern Japan.
While Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has been touring the country to boost the DPJ's chances in the uphill election battle, Fujimura has stayed in the capital to perform his role as the premier's right-hand man and chief spokesman.
Fujimura was quick to try and control the damage by saying later on Friday: "I want to apologise if a lack of explanation gave a false impression."
He said he had wanted to emphasise his wish to talk with people in his constituency in person and as much as possible.
Japan has ordered its military to shoot down a North Korean rocket if it threatens the nation's territory, readying surface-to-air missiles in Tokyo and Okinawa, and deploying Aegis warships in neighbouring waters.

Mumbai banker campaigns in dusty Delhi villages for Kejriwal's party
Only a few months ago, Meera Sanyal was a highly successful career woman. Today, she is holding a door-to-door campaign, trying to garner support for AAP in dusty villages of Delhi. Darpan Singh reports.india Updated: Oct 23, 2013 12:19 IST
By its own admission, the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) support and cadre chiefly come from resettlement colonies, slum clusters and lower-middle class neighbourhoods. And yet, some of the country's highly successful professionals are flying to the Capital to "help it out".
Most of these people harbour dreams of "a citizens' group" succeeding in Delhi, which can help similar experiments to challenge the political leadership in their own backyards.
Only a few months ago, Meera Sanyal was a highly successful career woman. Based in Mumbai, she was heading the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in India. Today, she is holding a door-to-door campaign, trying to garner support for AAP in dusty villages of Delhi.
"I am meeting people in areas such as East of Kailash and Chirag Dilli. Some people identify with my ideas, some don't. But that's okay," she said.
Just last week, media entrepreneur and former CEO of Star TV, Sameer Nair, joined the party and shot several short films for the party's campaign. "For now, my role is limited to publicity. As we go along, the party will decide what more to do. I will definitely be spending more time in Delhi," he said.
Sanyal, who will be ending a 30-year career in banking by giving up all her RBS commitments by December, will contest the 2014 general elections from south Mumbai. "I hope all these people (whom I am supporting) will support me. But it's not conditional," she says.
But what's her takeaway? "I needed to know the realities of this country because wrong assumptions mean wrong interventions. And I didn't want that to happen in my case," she said.
"My support for AAP is irrespective of their performance in Delhi. We will take it forward to the 2014 general elections and beyond. We want to work together and make a difference in my city, too," says Nair, whose family and businesses are based in Mumbai.
But why AAP? "In the 2009 general elections, I fought as an independent candidate from south Mumbai. Though I lost, I polled more than 10,000 votes. I lot of people supported me. I realised the value of selfless volunteers. I promised to myself that I will return the favour," said Sanyal, who was accompanied by her husband who runs a consultancy firm in Mumbai.
For Nair, it's all about the simple things that AAP talks of. "What I like in Arvind is that he and his colleagues talk of clean candidates and zero-tolerance to corruption. Such commitments make a big difference. Thanks to our political class, such people have become rare," he said.
Nair said he had not joined the party in a political way. "It's more of an ideological association. Obviously, I am helping them with my 20 years of experience in media," he added.

The Theodore Roosevelt biopic reportedly will be based on Edmund Morris' Pulitzer prize winning biography.
Leonardo DiCaprio wants to develop a Theodore Roosevelt biopic, according to Radar Online. The Oscar nominee reportedly wants to play the former president in the movie, and eyes Martin Scorsese to sit behind the lens for the project.
"Leo is telling friends that after his latest movie proved to be a massive box office hit, he's pushing forward with his biopic of Roosevelt which will re-team him with 'The Wolf of Wall Street' director Martin Scorsese," a source claims.
The movie is allegedly based on Edmund Morris' Pulitzer prize winning biography "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt". It is expected to follow Roosevelt from childhood to the presidency.
The actor reportedly planned the biopic years ago, but the project never took off the ground. "He says it's 'now or never' as he's patiently waited almost a decade for the money to materialize," the source said.
DiCaprio and Scorsese are frequent collaborators. They have made at least five films together with the first one being "Gangs of New York" in 2002. Both are nominated for Oscars with their latest project "The Wolf of Wall Street".
In addition to the Roosevelt rumor, the actor is reported to portray President Woodrow Wilson in a movie based on A. Scott Berg's new biography. He is also attached to produce the pic titled "Wilson (2015)".
Throughout his career, the five-time Oscar nominee has shown fine instincts when it comes to choosing roles. In an interview with Variety, he recalled his risky decision to turn down a lucrative deal with Disney to play in "Hocus Pocus" in favor of indie film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".
"I don't know where the hell I got the nerve," he said. "You live in an environment where you're influenced by people telling you to make a lot of money and strike while the iron's hot. But if there's one thing I'm very proud of, it's being a young man who was sticking to my guns."
He also faced dilemma between choosing James Cameron's "Titanic" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights". He ultimately picked the former and reached a new level of stardom, although the latter which was eventually led by Mark Wahlberg was strongly lauded as well.

Palliative Care
Alice Hyde Medical Center (AHMC), along with other national, state and community organizations, are leading a massive effort to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making—an effort that has culminated in the formal designation of April 16 as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). As a participating organization, AHMC is providing information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare proxy and living will) in accordance with New York State laws. Click on the 'Advance Care Planning Forms' button below to learn more and fill out these forms.
What is the Palliative Care Program?
The Center to Advance Palliative Care defines Palliative Care as "interdisciplinary healthcare specializing in relief of suffering and achievement of best possible quality of life for patients with advanced illness, and their families. It is offered simultaneously with all other appropriate medical treatment."
Palliative Care can help at any stage of a serious illness and at the same time as curative treatment. It is different from Hospice care where you need to have a prognosis of 6 months or less and forego curative treatment.
How does it work?
The Palliative Care Team provides assistance with:
· Pain & symptom management (shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, etc.) for patients with advanced illness
· Emotional and spiritual support for patients and family members
· Advance Care Planning (DNR, Healthcare Proxy, Living Wills, etc.)
· End-of-Life decision making
Who is appropriate for a referral?
Hospitalized patients and Alice Hyde Nursing Home residents with:
Life threatening or life limiting illness—typically cancer, dementia, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke or, end-stage renal or liver disease.
Deteriorating medical conditions and in need of symptom management.
Unacceptable level of pain, uncontrolled symptoms (nausea, vomiting), or uncontrolled psychosocial or spiritual issues.
Anyone can request a consultation (patients, family members, or any healthcare professional). Once a request is made for a consultation, your primary care provider is contacted for his/her approval.
The Palliative Care Team evaluates patients and makes the appropriate recommendations to the referring physician and provides follow-up as needed. The Team does not take over the patient care.

Given the huge expansion of Rome's dominions, it is difficult to differentiate between what one might consider as Art in Ancient Rome and what might be considered as having been absorbed and modified by Rome, particularly when this process went on for over 1000 years.
Perhaps in order to regard something a being truly of ancient Rome we require a sufficient degree of innovation such as might be seen in architecture or frescoes as opposed to mere multiplication or mass production essentially aimed at decoration as might be seen in the Roman reproduction of essentially Greek sculpture. These are gross generalisations of course as even in the art of sculpture the Romans proved to be quite capable of putting Greek art to their own use and ends, superimposing their own Italic character and eventually discarding it in favour of the next most useful representational convention.
At any rate, the social and political environment generated by the dominion of Rome allowed for all types of foreign artistic influences to converge on Rome and for "the best" of them to proliferate across the empire. In this way Italic pottery with figurative reliefs of Greek inspiration has been found traded around the Mediterranean basin and as far afield as India.
At any rate, few would argue with the idea that art is an expression of the people who generate it. We can undoubtedly say that the ancient Romans of the early period (8th century BC) were very different to the ancient Romans of the empire (1st Century AD) and certainly different from the Romans of the late empire and of the Dark Ages (5th Century AD). The former were a relatively uneducated, austere people whose wealth was based on animal husbandry, farming, a degree of trade and war with neighboring tribes. These relatively uncultured warrior-farmers met high culture head-on when they took the Greek colony of Syracuse in southern Italy.
The Romans of the golden age of the empire were the peers of Maecenas, Virgil and Ovid. They were used to travelling far as part of their schooling. They welcomed the influence of other cultures and were used to warfare and commerce on an international scale. By this time Rome had begun to impress its own identity and character onto the strong vein of Greek art.
Should we wish to level a criticism at the art of this age it might be that it was primarily utilised for purposes of political propaganda. As such the elite predefined what was to be said through art rather than allowing the freedom of expression one might hope for, but this is compensated by the exquisite craftsmanship and harmony of the artifacts which seem to resonate the grandeur and peace of that epoch.
The Romans of the golden age were followed by the Romans of the decline of the empire who lived to experience the dread of insecurity through successive barbarian invasions. These Romans began to look to Christianity and other religions such as Mithraism as a route to (spiritual) salvation. During this last period the "high" art of the empire gave way to the underlying popular art of the Italic, plebeian, peoples.

Brian Rogers' T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund Q1 Commentary
Posted by: Holly LaFon (IP Logged)
Date: April 12, 2013 10:49AM
U.S. equities rose in the first quarter of 2013, lifting several major indexes to multiyear, if not all-time, highs. Share prices advanced as the economy continued to expand, the labor market improved somewhat, and the Federal Reserve persisted with its asset purchase plans to suppress interest rates and stimulate growth. Merger activity also raised investor sentiment, although sentiment was tempered by concerns that the European debt crisis would flare up again. Cyprus temporarily closed its banks to prevent a run on deposits but finally agreed to a controversial bailout plan from the European Union and International Monetary Fund involving losses to some depositors.
The Equity Income Fund returned 11.19% in the quarter compared with 10.61% for the S&P 500 Index and 10.59% for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the fund returned 17.20% versus 13.96% for the S&P 500 Index and 15.05% for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index. The fund's average annual total returns were 17.20%, 5.53%, and 9.04% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2013. The fund's expense ratio was 0.68% as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
At the end of the quarter, financials constituted the largest sector weighting in the portfolio, followed by industrials and business services and energy stocks. The portfolio's sector weightings are the result of bottom-up stock analysis in our search for attractive investments. The portfolio benefited from many solid investments in the first quarter of 2013 and struggled with a few others that were disappointing. On a positive note, stock selection in consumer staples contributed most to results, followed by our stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Conversely, holdings in energy and financials were a drag on performance.
Considering the strong run in stocks during the past few months, we would not be surprised to see a short-term correction. That said, the positives outweigh the negatives in our view. The U.S. economy should continue to expand at a moderate pace with contained inflation, propelled by housing and growing strength in the labor market. The U.S. is in a good position relative to other developed markets. The industrials sector is performing better, and Congress and the Obama administration appear less contentious than at the end of last year. The Federal Reserve is likely to keep its stimulus programs in place a while longer. Eurozone risks remain, but they could decline in the months ahead. We rarely make dramatic changes to our investment strategies based on macroeconomic concerns. Rather, we prefer to focus on individual companies whose price/earnings multiples and dividend yields look attractive.

Memorial Tribute
Margaret O'Gara
died: August 16, 2012
Margaret O'Gara, Professor of Theology at the University of St. Michael's College, entered the realm of eternal life on Thursday, August 16, at age 65, after suffering from cancer for two years.
The characteristic aim of Margaret's 37 years of work as a theologian was to foster dialogue among Christians for the sake of overcoming divisions between the churches. Besides her teaching, research, writing, and extensive public lecturing, she was a member of official ecumenical dialogues in Canada, the United States, and at the international level. She also served as president of the North American Academy of Ecumenists and the Catholic Theological Society of America.
Margaret's unusual effectiveness in these professional arenas came from a combination of her scholarly rigor, her exceptional ability to listen sympathetically, her uncommon energy, and her contagious delight at the growth of mutual understanding and friendship. The same traits marked her strong personal relationships with her students and colleagues, the members of her extended family, and her many longstanding friends. Beneath everything else, the fundamental driving force of her life was her deep and abiding Christian faith.
Visitation at Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home, 467 Sherbourne Street, on Wednesday, August 22, from 2:00 to 9:00pm, with a prayer service at 7:30pm. Funeral mass at St. Basil's Church on Thursday, August 23, at 10:30am. Burial in Breckenridge, Minnesota.

Neighbour complaining about my children's noise playing in the garden(207 Posts)
We just moved into a garden flat after not having a garden for most of my children's lives. We have had landscape gardener's in for two weeks and they are now mostly finished transforming the garden. The garden is over 100ft and we have divided it into areas. There is a bark chipped area near the back (though not right at the back) where we have put the trampoline. At the back of our garden is the garden to another house which is side on to ours (so you come out of our place, turn right and right again onto a side road and theirs is the first house so it runs perpendicular to our garden if that makes sense). Their garden is quite small and they have an extension that is not that far from the boundary between our gardens.
Today the man that lives there came to complain about the noise my children were making. He works from home in the extension and says they are too noisy on the trampoline and he can't hear to make phone calls.
My kids are aged almost 9, almost 6 and almost 2. They are all boys and we moved to this place specifically for the garden space. I home school my children so they are in the garden during the day on and off between about 9am and 5pm. The last three days we have had friends around so it has been noisier than usual. I did explain all this to the man. He said he thought we were running a nursery here! I assured him I was not!
So,he wants us to move the trampoline. He says that we only put it at the back of the garden to keep the noise away from our house (NOT TRUE!). I am unwilling to move it as we have specifically safety surfaced that area for it. I asked if there were specific times of day that he would prefer them not to be playing there - he said no as he works all day. He also mentioned his need to relax in his garden at the weekend.
So, what would you do? Would you move the trampoline? WOuld you ask your kids to be quiet when they are out there? Or would you ignore him?
Wow this thread is 2 years old?!?
I wonder what the op did with the trampoline......?
In response to the initial post and the first few which suggested ignoring the complianant was the best policy, why as parents is it impossible to comprehend the notion of bringing your children up to respect social etiquette and keep the noise levels to an acceptable volume?
When I was a kid in 1970s London my parents made sure noise levels were kept low and if a neighbour complained they, like most parents of the era, would be mortified and make sure we kept our noise down in the garden.
If somebody's livelihood or simply their peace of mind depends upon low noise levels, then why is it now considered so unreasonable to ask a parent to control their children's noise levels?
Surely parks and desginated play areas are designed to take children to let off steam and scream and shout (as indeed are schools!) where they have the security of a perimeter fence.
It seems to me that nowadays a lot of parents seem to think it is perfectly acceptable to allow their children to create noise and display unsociable behaviours simply because the parents don't seem willing to go to the trouble of taking their children to designated play areas and parks - thereby investing time in the children.
Too many paretns are happy, it would seem, to "dump" their children's noise and unsociable behaviour onto others living in the community. Responsibility comes with having children and too few parents nowadays seem to have that, the overuse of cars during the school run being a shining example.
Well said, Paul.
I'm living next door to 3 kids and their trampoline. They make a lot of noise, but the most when they've hurt themselves and are running to their mother (who frequently locks them out - they're 6 and 8 - and buggers off somewhere), who is usually nowhere to be seen.
Then, not happy with injuring themselves, they like playing on the street by throwing stones at each other - usually hitting neighbours' cars.
I'll be so relieved when this family moves as they really are the neighbours from hell.
Just to make another point to the OP, and others who simply don't think (benefit of doubt here); please spare a thought for neighbours who work shifts. On our street of 30 houses, 10 homes have shift workers living in them, including ours.
We moved here because of the street's rep as being quiet - and it was for the first 5 years. Then we had the arrival of families that, how can I put this, just don't want to keep the neighbourhood a nice one. We've had the lot here recently - a lady who advertises her services (and those of her female friends) on the internet, a family renting who get rid of their 5 dogs when the landlord has had complaints about barking constantly, only to bring them back a few days later, the couldn't-care-less-about-her-kids chav next door, the anti-social ex-army guy and his teenage boy-racer kids that enjoy nothing better than revving engines at midnight, oh, and the bloke who walks his dogs off the lead, allowing them to bite others' dogs!
The recent and inconsiderate neighbours have actually ALL made attempts to be even noisier when they know their shift-work neighbours are sleeping during the day. Something that I never thought I'd see - and I have a truly evil ex-husband who I thought had done the lot to me (and others) - people behave like this. Not just inconsiderate, but plain nasty.
Now I'm not saying that the OP was being nasty, but a bit of give and take along the lines we had here, where elderly and middle-aged people lived happily with young families. It just needs some common sense and a bit of respect.
BTW, DH works for the emergency services, as do many other shift workers. If Karma exists, maybe she'll find a way of biting these inconsiderates on the arse when they need help (without causing lasting harm, of course). Or, maybe the OP will end up having to take a shift job... There's a reason sleep-deprivation is used as a method of torture.
Children do play and if you had lived there for years and he had got used to it over years that would be different. You have come in and upset his peace - I understand his point of view (not saying it is completely right, but I understand it). I work from home in holiday times and next door's children playing in the garden is a big distraction, so much so that I have to stop working sometimes until they have gone inside. But we only moved here recently so they were here first, and I see it as my job to compromise because of that.
Maybe you could have a "break" and "lunch" time, like the kids would get if they were at school, and keep them the same time each day, and let him know when these times are - then he can structure his working day around those a little and he will know when to expect noise. The structured break times in the day would maybe be no bad thing for your boys as they will have to get used to this eventually at secondary school (if you send them) or at work.
You say "Since when did one person's rights hold so much weight?" but aren't you making this the case by holding the weight of your kids' right to play over your neighbour's right to work? You don't sound willing to compromise at all, but communities depend on compromise and give and take. You don't have to stop them playing but their play is causing a problem for someone and there are a couple of quite easy things you could do about it without putting yourself out too much, which I'm sure your neighbour would be grateful for.
Bollocks, didn't spot that this was 2 years old!
I think you should find a happy compromise. He considers your wishes 50% of the time, you consider his wishes the other 50%. Why should he give in if you're making no concessions to his wishes at all? Have to say that much noise would drive me nuts too. If you homeschool then your DCs will be at home far more than is usually the case, so making noise much more often.
Oh no, Zombie thread!
<rolls eyes>
U hv to show consideration to your neighbours!!
Especially as u home as kids around all day
I am sure that the kids dont need to be out all day
I agree with others hv times that they go out
So as not to disturb him all day
Also make sure they arent being too noisy like shouting and screaming
If u dont consider him he could make a phone call
I am in a same sort of situation, with my neighbor complaining that children are 'making noise' very early in the morning and that she works nights. They usually wake up at 6ish. While I agree that she needs her sleep, I also recognize that children singing and chatting is not unreasonable noise and that they too are allowed to sing and chat, after all it is in our house. I also recognize that sound insulation between the two properties is not optimal, but it is a two way thing so unless she is willing to pay for her share not much can be done.
I have found the following document over the intenet, that I found enlightening and states that children playing is hardly 'unreasonable noise'. I hope this may help you make a decision. www.reading.gov.uk/.../14450/General-noise-Mar-2011-v2.pdf
I wouldn't move the trampoline, you were reasonable enough to ask him what times of day he would prefer the children not to play outside and his reply is I work all day! And then to tell you the weekends are for relaxing in his garden. When would this man like your children to play in their own garden then?? I would tell the kids to try to keep the noise down while playing on the trampoline but would definitely not move it. Kids will be kids it's not safe for them to play outside anymore so why should they not enjoy themselves in their own back yard xx
I would go round there while they were playing, so you can experience for yourself what the guy is complaining about. How can you judge otherwise? Then you can decide what would be proportionate. I would stop the children from screaming out there on and off all day, because that's not on anyway though.
Where's Rick Grimes when you need him?!
I would move the trampoline and keep an ear out for the noise levels especially during the hours of 9-3 on weekdays. That should be sufficient and if he still has issues after that he would have to lump it.
I think it's a bit rude to do nothing to rectify the situation though. The noise levels were obviously bad enough for him to feel he had to complain about it and moving the trampoline really doesn't seem like a big deal. Ignoring him is just plain rude and inconsiderate IMO.
Oh no! That will teach me for not reading the whole thread.
Think I'm the only one who is conscious of this.....the kids should be at school during the day not running about making loads of noise.... What do you mean they could be in the garden between 9 and 5. They should get a break at 10 then 12 like normal kids do at school....... You need to teach your kids the difference between what's wrong and right... It's obvious you've got no consideration for others ( I wonder if you went to school) maybes there's a lesson to be learned here.
Ignore him. Be happy and enjoy your new garden.
If its not about this, it'll be about something else. He's just a child-hating selfish man.
But I'd not want my children to be screeching on it as it'd be inconsiderate knowing that Moany Pants may be trying to work.
I cannot believe the self centered attitude of you that say "tough let him get on with it". We have had our life made a misery by a neighbor who moved into a house backing onto mine. They insisted on shouting at their 3 small children from the top of her 200 yard garden at all ours of the day and night resulting in the children shouting back. This escalated to screaming and shrieking, crying, fighting to the extent that it was impossible to sit in the garden and read or even have a conversation. Giving them the benefit of the doubt we thought that they had no idea off the impact they where making. So several of us neighbors with adjoining properties approached them together to ask for the behavior to be modified and explaining that we also have small children and managed to keep a lid on the noise. We even played them recordings of the noise. At that point we where told to "F**K Off and mind our own business as they had no intention of changing their lifestyle". I would point out that the house was purchased for £850,000 and a further £100,000 was immediately spent on it. They have a nanny and the children are aged 10 months, 2 years and 4 years. Most of the noise starts when mummy and daddy get home.
The next stage is to inform Social Services that we think the children are at risk, that should stir things up a bit.
Tough luck, it's a residential area, if he chooses to have his office in a residential area he is going to have DCs playing during the day.
If he wants peace, he should rent an office or get a lap top and a cordless phone and work on the sofa in his house.
Clearly DSs shouldn't yell and scream, my DDs have to be reminded of that, but they most certainly should be allowed to play.
I think you are really being very tunnelled visioned about this. You have already made your mind up to be akward! I have 4 children, we live on a beautiful estate with other families... It's very important to respect other people and their life styles. He works from home, what a nightmare having screeching kids when your trying to concentrate ! I don't think it is unreasonable for him to expect rest bite from children during school hours... ! You complain about your other neighbours from hell, you are his neighbour from hell... Move the trampoline, you should be watching the children on that anyway, failing that, stop being a hippy... Send them to school & get a pressurised job and then you will understand where this poor chap is coming from. I feel very sorry for him.
I know this is a zombie thread, but I think that anyone in the OP's situation should restrict use of the trampoline during a substantial part of the day, maybe 9.00-12.00.
I appreciate that HE does not work to a particular pattern, but why is it trampolining in particular that the children need to do to relax or take a break? What about skipping? Drawing? Playing with toys? Why not all go for a brisk walk first thing in the morning to get some exercise before beginning the HE activities?
I live in an urban area and neighbours to the rear are currently relaxing by playing loud music. I have had my neighbour's 5 cats 'express themselves' so much in our garden that we had to completely re-design it. Their dogs (at times up to 5 of them) have barked morning, noon and night. Neighbours on the other side have invested in a piano that no one can actually play, not to mention the several months when they were renovating and the swathes of dust coming over meant that our own garden was unusable to our toddler.
I have not, by and large, complained about any of this, as i recognise that this is part and parcel of living in an area of high population density - BUT I think that anyone doing something that affects their neighbours has to recognise that they may be having a huge impact on someone else's life.
If he wanted peace and quiet he should have lived far away from any neighbours. He is being unreasonable, children play he needs to get over it.

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Tonisha Baker and Lauren Yesh combined for 22 of their 26 points in the second half to power Campbell past East Tennessee State 60-57 Thursday night inside the Pope Center.
The Lady Camels improve to 12-16 on the season and 11-8 in Atlantic Sun play, while ETSU falls to 18-11 overall and 15-5 in conference games, snapping a four-game win streak. The win was Campbell's first in 12 chances over the Buccaneers, dating back to 2006, when ETSU joined the A-Sun. The Lady Camels' 11 A-Sun wins is the most for the program since 2001-02.
Down 25-19 at the half after shooting 25 percent in the first frame, the Lady Camels closed the ETSU lead to three at 32-29 with 16:09 on the clock when Tonisha Baker drained a jumper. The Bucs answered with a 10-5 run, however, pushing the lead to eight at the 11:33 mark on a Jasmine McIntosh basket.
Over the next 4:34, the Lady Camels posted a 4-for-10 clip from the field that included a Roslyn Presley and-one, bringing CU within three again at 46-43.
After Gwen Washington put the Buccaneers back up seven at 54-47 with a pair of free throws, buckets from Presley and Baker brought the Lady Camels within three for the third time in the half with 4:37 to play.
With 1:44 remaining and down four, Baker picked off an ETSU pass and took it coast to coast for a lay-in. Baker then drove for another lay-in on the Lady Camels' next possession to knot the game at 57-all with 1:05 remaining.
With 36 seconds to go, Amanda O'Neill picked up a steal, forcing ETSU to foul. O'Neill connected on the second of two free throws, giving Campbell its first lead since 2-0 at 18:29 in the first half.
After another ETSU miss, Baker pulled down the rebound and was fouled. The High Point, N.C. native nailed both attempts, putting the Lady Camels up 60-57 with 10 seconds to play.
With five seconds to go, ETSU tried a three for the tie, but failed, as Jazmine Cooper pulled down the board, sealing the 60-57 win for the Lady Camels.
Campbell began the game shooting 2-24 in the first half, going over 10 minutes (15:37-5:20) without any points. The Lady Camels were down 19-4 at that point, when Jessica Moore buried a trey. That basket was the first of three straight for the Lady Camels, who pulled within four, but trailed 25-19 at the half.
Baker paced the Lady Camels with a game-high 16 points, adding nine rebounds and a career-high nine assists, narrowly missing a triple double. Cooper tacked on 12 points and 12 rebounds, her third double-double of the season. The Fayetteville, N.C. native has scored in double figures in each of her last eight games.
Yesh tallied 10 points and eight rebounds, while Presley posted six points and a pair of rebounds in five minutes of action off the bench.
Shawn Randall led four Buccaneers in double figures with 12 points, while Gwen Washington and Jasmine McIntosh registered 11 each. Tara Davis added 10 points and Natalie Pickwell posted seven in the loss for ETSU.
The Lady Camels will wrap up the regular season Saturday at home, hosting USC Upstate at 1 p.m.

LSU's scheduled baseball game Tuesday against Northwestern State has been postponed to Thursday after road closures for icy weather have made the trek to Natchitoches difficult.
The Tigers (9-2) and Demons (6-4) were scheduled to play at 3:30 p.m., a time moved up from the originally set time of 7 p.m.
They'll now meet at 3 p.m. Thursday in Natchitoches.
Several roads are closed in the middle portion of the state near Alexandria because of a wave of icy weather that has produced sleet and freezing rain throughout the state.
Game time temperature was expected to be in the mid to low 40s.
Freshman Jared Poché was expected to start for LSU in an outing that could have determined his future role this season. A solid showing would have won him a job in LSU's Southeastern Conference weekend starting rotation.
Poché will now start in Thursday's game, coach Paul Mainieri said.
LSU is set to host Sacred Heart (2-1) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and has a three-game weekend series against Purdue (1-7).
Brady Domangue will start against Sacred Heart. Ace Aaron Nola will start Friday, Kyle Bouman gets the nod Saturday and Cody Glenn will start Sunday.
Starting with Wednesday's game, LSU will play five straight games and seven in an eight-day span. That precedes the first three-game conference series at Vanderbilt, March 14-16.
"It's not the perfect situaiton," Mainieri said. "The weather dictated it. You just roll with the punches and deal with it and get ready to go.
"The biggest thing is it's going to force us to use all of our bullpen," he said. "I'm not talking about two or three batter outings. We've got a lot of innings to burn. We're going to find out what bullpen guys we're going to be able to rely on."
If Poché keeps his pitch count down against Northwestern State on Thursday, Mainieri plans to still use him for a couple of innings against Nicholls State next Tuesday. That's assuming Poché is a part of the rotation at Vanderbilt.
There was "a lot of thought given to" pitching Poché against Sacred Heart, the coach said. Mainieri wants the Lutcher native to pitch on the road before making a decision on his starting rotation.
Poché, Bouman and Glenn are battling for the two spots behind Nola.
Mainieri said he made several attempts to find Sacred Heart a new opponent Wednesday so LSU could travel to Northwestern State. All of them fell through.
A cold, wet winter in the Southeast has again affected the Tigers.
LSU missed multiple practices this preseason because of the chilly temperatures, sleet and even snow. The Tigers' 4-1 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette was halted in the sixth inning because of a thunderstorm.

Brunel is looking to improve on last season's fifth-placed finish, which was achieved with a 13-6 victory over Scotland in their last game.
Italy also won plenty of plaudits after almost shocking England, before eventually going down 15-9 defeat in Rome.
Those encouraging displays were followed up with promising outings against New Zealand and Australia and a win against Tonga in the autumn internationals.
Italy claimed their first ever RBS 6 Nations win over France at the Stadio Flaminio in 2011 with a 22-21 victory - and Brunel believes his side must show similar desire against the 2011 World Cup finalists this weekend.
"One of the biggest challenges that I have is convincing the players of their own ability and potential to challenge the best teams," said Brunel.
"We still have a lot of things that we need to improve.
"But a lot of it comes down to the ambition that you have, the spirit that you show and how you show it.
"We are looking more to impose our game on our opponents than to just simply oppose them.
"Even if you manage to oppose the rival team in determined fashion, at some point or another you start to suffer."

The Luther Burger
Much-loved and imitated, this hamburger is covered with cheese and bacon even before it starts to kill you. But what makes it infamous is the bun — a fried Krispy Kreme (NYSE:KKD) donut. The Gateway Grizzlies Frontier League baseball team in Sauget, Ill., serves this puppy at its stadium. The burger on a donut was apocryphally popularized by the late Luther Vandross, hence the name.

In an effort to break the stalemate and get Nikola Pekovic's John Hancock on a new contract, we are making him the feature of the latest Video of the Week (VOTW). If Nikola signs this week, please give us an ounce of credit. Thank you in advance.
Pekovic will play a pivotal role for the Timberwolves this coming season, as the team strives to return to the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade, while also celebrating the franchise's silver anniversary of existence. Hopefully, Nikola is playing on a long term deal and not the one year, qualifying contract. This team needs as few distractions as possible, and an impending unrestricted free agency for Nikola could become a disaster.
One of the most bizarre post moves I can remember is the start of this VOTW – with Pekovic putting the moves on Tim Duncan in the post. If I knew what a whirling dervish actually was, I would probably use it to describe that one. There are actually a lot of moments in this VOTW that are worth noting; Pek's hilarious role in the videos produced by the Wolves digital team (Carmen San Diego) and some grainy footage from Nikola's earlier days overseas.
The VOTW also covers off on some of the pun-tastic nicknames given to Nikola over the past few seasons. You can thank Tom Hanneman for several of these. I tend to lean towards "Pektactular". Which one would you side with?
Enjoy the VOTW! Again, let's hope that Nikola and his agent put pen to paper this week and we have the big guy locked up for the long term in the very near future.

Apple hits $500B in market value
Apple on Wednesday joined the most exclusive club in big business when its market value topped $500 billion — a feat that only Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, General Electric and ExxonMobil had previously accomplished.
In an industry in which a company is only as good as its next product, questions arise about how long the maker of iPhones and iPads can stay on its perch. Tech giants Microsoft, Intel and Cisco have all fallen well below $500 billion.
But Apple fans say this time it's different. "Apple has done a good job building this brand," says Michael Sansoterra of the RidgeWorth Large Cap Stock fund, which owns Apple stock. "They can be quite a bit larger." Most analysts certainly agree. Of the 39 who cover the stock, 37 rate it either a "buy" or "strong buy."
INTERACTIVE: Apple stock quote, company info
As the overlord of consumer technology, Apple has both competitors and start-ups targeting it. And it's an open question whether the company can hang onto its rich profit margins and growth rate — and build on its already enormous success.
The fate for other companies that have breached the $500 billion mark has been choppy at best in that it's a:
•Rare feat. Apple is just one of six companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 to top $500 billion. The record is held by Microsoft, which was worth $604 billion at the end of 1999. Even retailing giant Wal-Mart has never exceeded $350 billion in market value, S&P Capital IQ says.
•Hard level to maintain. So far, the $500 billion mark has served as a high-water mark for companies. Microsoft, GE, Intel and Cisco hit the wall after joining the club and are now worth $266 billion, $201 billion, $134 billion and $107 billion, respectively. Lofty energy prices have kept Exxon up at $408 billion.
•Open invitation for competition. The success that creates such massive market values attracts the attention of rivals who want a piece of the lucrative business.
"Everyone is gunning (for Apple). It's not just companies we know about, but new companies coming up with new ideas," says Kim Caughey Forrest of Fort Pitt Capital.
Yet the bulls say Apple is such a force that it's practically unstoppable in the areas of smartphones and tablets. Meanwhile, investors are hoping Apple will start paying a dividend to use up its nearly $100 billion pile of cash and investments.
"Every great technology company has been replaced, and it will happen to Apple," says Channing Smith, portfolio manager of the Capital Advisors Growth fund, which owns the shares. "But we're not even close to that point."

Efforts by state governments to balance their budgets – especially in Midwestern states such as Wisconsin – are generating considerable media attention. That coverage escalated when a liberal blogger – who fraudulently said he was David Koch – called Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and then broadcast a recording of their conversation.
There is considerable misinformation in media reports, but here are some essential facts:
- Koch companies, including Georgia-Pacific, Flint Hills Resources, C. Reiss Coal Company, and Koch Pipeline Company, employ about 3,000 people in Wisconsin and support a total of 11,000 Wisconsin jobs.
- Koch companies were not and are not involved in lobbying for any part of Governor Walker's budget repair bill, which makes changes to collective bargaining for public employees. Any suggestion that Koch Industries or a Koch company has some financial interest in the outcome of that legislation is false. We have taken no position on that state's debate over public sector unions and do not intend to do so.
- Koch Industries' Political Action Committee, KOCHPAC, contributed $43,000 to Gov. Scott Walker's 2010 gubernatorial campaign – less than one-half of one percent of the $9.195 million raised by the Walker campaign.
- Koch has always and will continue to support market-based policies that advance economic freedom, and we support candidates who do the same. This was the basis for Koch's support of Gov. Walker's candidacy.
- Rumors that Koch supported Gov. Walker in order to purchase state power plants without competing bids are patently false. Koch has absolutely no interest in purchasing those plants.
- Since the initial speculation, Koch has been on the record denying any interest in the plants. It is notable that this 2013 news article about the potential sale of the state property, including the power plants, does not contain any mention of Koch.
We do believe that sound fiscal policy is a worthy goal for legislators to pursue. A balanced budget will benefit our company and its employees no more and no less than the rest of the state's private-sector workers and employers.
Regarding unions in general:
- Koch companies support voluntary associations, and where they so choose, we recognize employees' rights to be represented and bargain collectively.
- Union employees represent a large part of our production employees. Nationwide, many Koch company sites operate under collective bargaining agreements.
- Where unions exist, we respect their status, work with them in good faith, and honor the terms of our collective bargaining agreements. This has been true for more than 50 years.
- We think the best workplace relationships are fostered when the employer works directly with its employees. It is a mischaracterization of our principles to say this means we oppose unions or want to dismantle all unions.

Offshore Australian Higher Education: A Case Study of Pedagogic Work in Indonesia
Singh, Parlo (2004) Offshore Australian Higher Education: A Case Study of Pedagogic Work in Indonesia. In Hickling-Hudson, A., Matthews, J., & Woods, A. (Eds.) Disrupting Preconceptions: Postcolonialism and Education. Post Pressed, Flaxton, pp. 211-233.
|PDF (111kB)
In this paper I examine pedagogic work of the education export industry through an analysis of interview accounts provided by Western women teachers working offshore in Indonesia. Specifically, I examine one component of pedagogic work, that is, the construction of classroom knowledge about cross-cultural issues. Specifically, my interest is in examining the ways in which historically constituted power relations between Western teacher and Indonesian student, and the current epoch of a global knowledge economy, impact on the selection and construction of cross-cultural classroom knowledge. I ask who inhabits the space of Australian offshore higher education in Jakarta, Indonesia; what is the content and form of pedagogic relations in these spaces, what is sayable and speakable to whom, and how, and consequently what types of pedagogic innovations are imaginable?
