Do you write posts in different languages that have different directions?
This plugin enables a feature in the post editor which allow writing texts in Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left directions in the same post (or page) so you can write in English (and any other LTR language) and also RTL languages like Arabic, Persian and Hebrew.
Simply look for the new buttons added to the post editor after installing the plugin. (See the screenshots for better understanding)
اضافة زرارين لشريط التحرير لتمكين تحويل النص للقراءة من اليمين لليسار مثل اللغة العربية والفارسية والعبرية
- Note: This plugin will not change the direction of the post title, since that is controlled by the theme.
Search for the plugin "wp-rtl" from the plugin page inside your WordPress dashboard, or to manually install it do the following:
- Upload the folder (wp-rtl) to the plugins directory (wp-content/plugins).
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Clear your browser cache (This is important otherwise you will see the cached TinyMCE).
Works Perfect
Thanks – Keep Up the Good Work
much needed for RTL
This plugin is a great tool for those needing RTL in tinyMCE.
I just hope the author can update the plugin every couple months or so to make sure it remains compatible with latest wordpress versions.
nice and simple
I did it for the title too by enclosing it in a <div> element like this:
<div style="direction: ltr !important;"> TITLE </div>
Thank you very much!
One of the most essential plugins for anyone who writes from right to left.
Very usefull
Thank you
Jazak Allah- Best Plugin for Arabic, Urdu, Persian bloggers
I've been searching for the problem where when we combine Urdu and English characters it all gets mixed up.
This plugin solved my problem very easily.

Jazak Allah brother for your effort.

rnhowe Review
I have purchase many sheet sets over the years from Overstock, and I refuse to purchase sheets from anywhere else. I have looked at stores and websites, and for 1000 count sheets, I can not find a better deal. I have purchased about 4 different sheet sets from Overstock and I have not been disappointed! I did make the mistake of purchasing an 800 count sheet set at one time, figuring the 200 thread count would not make that much of a difference, but it really did. I will never purchase anything less than 1000 count. I have purchased the sateen sheets, the Egyptian cotton ones, and now these wrinkle resistant ones, and I have enjoyed them all. These sheets are quite heavy, but I like that quality in sheets. I have always been satisfied by my bedding purchases at Overstock, and I think they are an excellent value!!

Although we saw it on Diana first (out here), turns out that this Label by Ritu Kumar outfit was first seen on Neha Dhupia back in Oct'09, when she took Jessica Simpson shopping for jewellery.
Quite a Freida situation we had at the Ritu Kumar event. Seeing two other people wear outfits you've worn before, that is. In Neha's case, it was Mandira and Diana here.
Thanks 'tinselgurus' for the spotting!
P.S. In case you are wondering what Jessica was doing in India, she was in the country to tape for her new show 'The Price Of Beauty'. Read more about it here.

May 4th, 2009, 04:40 PM #1Successful Low Bids Using Priceline?
I was planning on using Priceline to bid on 3+ star hotels in St. Pete Beach, FL or Clearwater, FL for our upcoming visit. I was checking out biddingfortravel dot com to get an idea on what bids were successful by other users.
Do you know of any other similar sites that list successful priceline bids?
May 4th, 2009, 05:06 PM #2
I've used both betterbidding . com and bidontravel . com.
May 4th, 2009, 05:42 PM #3
I have been reading that many of the FL hotels charge you $25 per night for a "Resort Amenity Fee" that is not included in your priceline bid.
May 4th, 2009, 06:38 PM #4
That's pretty steep if it's true. I don't remember that from my last trip to Orlando, but that was a few years ago. For the dozens of times I've used Priceline, I don't think I've ever had to pay any additional taxes or fees at the hotel upon checkout. But I haven't used them for Florida.
May 4th, 2009, 06:46 PM #5
I've fairly recently booked NYC hotels all through priceline. I stayed at Novotel, Sheraton Towers, and Sheraton Manhattan all 3 stars+ in great locations if you are a tourist or would like to pretend that you are
My rooms at Novotel & Sheraton Towers were huge -- I could have easily shared the rooms with a man but as fate would have it I had no one to share them with [That's what I would like to bid on: a handsome man to be my date in Manhattan ]
My room at Sheraton Manhattan was smaller than my other 2 experiences but I was paying $99/nt for a hotel with a very nice indoor swimming pool plus an excellent fitness center with televisions embedded into the treadmills/cardio equipment -- I was very happy and didn't have a man anyway so ...
The way I came up with numbers is I went to hotels.com to see the rates they were charging [I am familiar with some of the hotels anyway since I've stayed in some with friends etc...I noticed that Hotel Pennsylvania was charging $149/nt. I had stayed there twice prior to the bedbug years -- I don't know if they cleared that problem up ] and I just bid lower numbers; I had not heard of a forum called "biddingfortravel."
My priceline tip is start with a high star request and a lowball bid because if the bid is too low then priceline urges you to raise the bid.
In fact I was criticized for making my bids "too high" according to a family member. I was told that hotels jumped at my 2 previous bids because they couldn't wait to get the money [My previous stays were $135/nt for 3 nts and then $130/4nts -- I was having major renovations done to my apt. and had no bathroom to use at home -- I live commuting distance to NYC so I know it well]

I typed slowly the first time and the Priceline system messaged me as soon as I typed in $1 -- the system told me that I wouldn't be successful with a $1 bid and I was strongly encouraged to raise my bid -- so the moral of the story is: state your preferences for geographic location and the amount of stars then start with a low lowball -- you can't go wrong. The system will tell you to raise your bid, the system won't shoot
Each time I started a bid I wanted check-in within the same evening -- I'm a train ride away from NYC and can be in GCT in half an hour.
My bids for $135, $130, $99 were each accepted within 30 seconds to a minute -- so don't overbid -- I didn't have trouble checking a couple of hours later.
The way to play with the system is to bid for exclusive neighborhoods such as NYC's Upper East Side and to combine that with star ratings of the hotels but once there is a match there is no more playing around -- with priceline you've just been assigned to a hotel -- they have your credit card information up front, so make sure you are bidding on what you want because you might "win the bid."
Once you are assigned a hotel, Priceline will take your money via your credit info for the nights/package you bid on whether you show or not.
If you are supposed to check-in on a certain date and you don't, Priceline will penalize you by canceling the package but taking your money -- so you better be there!
I was lucky that I enjoyed each place I stayed

Zimmermman said he was in pursuit which is chasing.
Now where in the heck did he say that??????????
Jeez, the pitchforkers are embellishing more and more here.........
According to the transcripting the dispatcher asked him if he was FOLLOWING, to which he said yes. I didn't see anything about "pursuing."
That may seem like semantics but in a legal venue, if I turn on the lights and sirens of my police vehicle and go after a vehicle or person with the intent to capture or stop them, I am pursuing.
If I am just following them around the neighborhood because of suspicious activity, that is all that it is, following.
Not pursuing, not stalking.
Here is another people thing are forgetting to look at. Zimmerman said in his call that Martin was acting suspiciously, then started walking toward HIM with his hand in his waistband.
This is a common thug tactic to intimidate people into making people think they are armed. Or it could have been Martin playing with himself, something thugs do often in public.
Either way, it further aroused Zimmerman's suspicions and when Martin ran, Zimmerman followed. If he is guilty of anything, it's not being a coward.
Having said that, one of the first things you have to train new cops is don't be in too damn of a hurry to chase people off into the dark. Gang members have used this tactic to kill officers by separating them from their partners and laying up an ambush, sometimes even coordinated ones.
Zimmerman was no police officer, surely, but he is/was not going to let the usual suspects take over his neighborhoods like so many have in the past.
"Zimmermman said he was in pursuit which is chasing."
AND which Florida law does that violate? Please be specific!

With origins dating back to 1840, Australian Unity is one of Australia's oldest organisations.
Over the years we have grown in many ways however we have always promoted the wellbeing of everyday Australians. For instance, back in the 1890s one of our founding organisations campaigned for Australia to become a Federation. Australia's first two prime ministers, Sir Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin, were both members of our society and so was the first Australian-born Governor-General in 1930, Sir Isaac Isaacs.
Today, Australian Unity actively identifies and helps solve a diverse range of health, financial and lifestyle needs of our members, customers and the broader community so that they can thrive.
As a mutual company, Australian Unity is owned by its members rather than shareholders. This means that we do not pay any of our profits to shareholders but rather reinvest them back into further services to directly support our members and customers.
Through the acquisition of existing retirement communities our humble beginnings as a provider of retirement living commenced. Years later, we grew to become a developer of new communities and also extended our services into aged care. Since then, we've grown again to also provide a range of home and disability services throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
No matter your age or circumstance, we provide caring, quality support for all.
Australian Unity proudly provides services to almost 900,000 Australians, 300,000 of whom are members. Our areas of expertise include healthcare, financial services, retirement living, assisted living and insurance. All profits are directed to improving services for our members.

Dan Maurer has spent nearly two decades with a large mass on his groin that has now grown to weigh approximately 100 pounds.
The 39-year-old says it's physically and emotionally exhausting, since everywhere he goes, people stare.
"They don't know what it's like to live in my shoes," Maurer said. "I knew there was something else going on."
After living with his unusual condition for 10 years, Maurer is scheduled to have the mass removed this week.
Doctors say it's part of a condition called scrotal lymphedema, which Mauer helped identify after watching a TLC documentary about called, "The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum."
Maurer's loved ones then started a campaign in his Michigan hometown, hoping to raise money for surgery. More than 1,000 people donated, raising over $27,000.
While Maurer has health insurance, the funds will help pay for the trip to California, where he will go under the knife with the same surgeon who performed a successful procedure on Wesley Warren Jr., the man with the 132-pound scrotum. (The man died about a year later from diabetes complications.)
"With the surgery, my life is on the line and losing my penis is on the line," he said. "I guarantee almost all men would go for the best (doctor)," he said.
One thing he's excited to do once the procedure is all said and done: Have sex with his wife, Mindy, for the first time in seven years. He also looks forward to traveling and jet-skiing.

I've had several people ask me my feelings on "sponsored posts," which are blog posts that have been paid for by an advertiser. The short answer is yes, I accept sponsored posts. However, I turn down the majority of offers I receive because I'd rather not bore my readers to pieces. I don't think anyone coming to Someday I'll Learn really cares about "sexy nighttime costumes" or "the next big thing in MLM," so I won't write about it (although I suppose it's possible that I'm mis-judging my readers!).
What I will write about is anything I find interesting. And on the rare occasion that I do accept payment, I ALWAYS disclose it to my readers. Sometimes I'll even point out if something ISN'T a sponsored post (like when I recently wrote about Wall Pops), just for the sake of being clear about it all. The majority of sponsored post requests I see are advertisers wanting bloggers to recommend a product to their readers in order to drive sales. Recently, however, I've noticed an odd trend in sponsored posts, with advertisers requesting that bloggers post press releases on their blogs verbatim.
A specifically rampant example of this press release thing is PBM products, who have been paying bloggers left and right to publish this article about how PBM has recently won a lawsuit against Mead Johnson, maker of Enfamil. Here's the back story: Enfamil released an ad campaign claiming that Enfamil brand infant formula provides better nutrition than store brands. PBM, who manufactures store brand formulas, sued and won $13.5 million. And now they're touting this win on any blog that's willing to publish it.
I remember a similar advertising phenomenon developing when I briefly worked in the magazine industry. Companies would take out large ad spaces and publish promotional stories that soon became known as "advertorials" (advertising + editorial). There was a huge conflict over disclosure and reader deception and integrity. Having also worked in the advertising industry, I understand the reasoning behind it. PBM sees that their store brand has suffered and they want to take action. I can hardly blame them. But now as a blogger, the whole thing makes me feel kind of…unsettled.
Sponsored posts, if not handled properly, can be really irritating to the reader. Many of us bloggers are choosy about sponsored posts so we don't alienate and annoy people. Even bloggers who aren't choosy about their sponsorships usually at least insist on writing a thoughtful post in their own words. If we all just start publishing mindless corporate crap all the time, why would anyone keep reading blogs? I'm sure PBM would say they're just trying to inform the public about this newsworthy event. But if people really want news, current events, or business updates, they'll read a newspaper (and yes, I know that newspapers may "sell" stories as well…don't even get me started on that). I'm not saying that any of it is implicitly right or wrong, or that one model fits every publishing media. I'm just asserting my hope that with our sponsored posts, our ad sidebars and our pay-per-tweet, we don't all devolve into a "he said, she-said, this company paid me that much" promo fest and smear campaign. I'm confident that most of us have more backbone than that.

I promised, and here it is, The Katy Perry Collection by OPI! Katy scores her own four shades of nail polish, accompanied by OPI's hottest new top-coat product, Black Shatter. I'll tell you all about how that works in just a minute, but let's get to the shade breakdown (shade descriptions from OPI):
Teenage Dream
A dreamy pink glitter that you're sure to crush on!
Not Like the Movies
This sultry silver is the real deal.
Last Friday Night
T.G.I.F. = This Glittery-blue Is Fierce!
The One That Got Away
You always thought you'd marry this amazing deep berry.
I'm hoping this doesn't kill the review for you before you even read it or see the swatches…
But, I'm going to disclose right away that I don't have anything negative to say about the polishes themselves, or the new colors. (When it comes to me liking them on a personal level, I would have no problem buying them all.) I'll try to accurately explain what exactly it is that I like about every single one of these shades—as they're each very different! In the swatches, you'll see I used the Black Shatter top coat over one nail in each photo so you could see what that polish would look like with the shatter effect. All swatches were done with two coats of polish, with the exception of Last Friday Night, I really wanted to amp up that blue for photos.
So here we go, check out the swatches!
Somewhere within my inner-child, I have to believe that Teenage Dream would be the result of Hello Kitty leaving her cute little house near London, to become best friends with a pixie (who has more than her daily quota of pixie dust on her). Holding hands, they would skip down the Yellow Brick Road, and jump in Katy Perry's convertible somewhere along the way. After eating a vat of cotton candy, all three of the girls would sing California Gurls at the top of their lungs (okay, so Hello Kitty would be singing it from her heart). Then, they would pass out from the sugar-high. That would be after Katy pulled over, of course.
Honestly, that's what Teenage Dream reminds me of! It takes on a transparent, sweet candy pink base with tons of light pink micro-glitter and larger holographic glitter pieces. It's a real girlie-girl nail polish for sure.
I love ogling Last Friday Night, that blue just sets me in a trance. What kind of blue is that? I'm thinking a bright lapis/azure blue mix…but I'm curious to hear other descriptions! It has round iridescent particles, in various shades of blue and green suspended in it's transparent, dreamy blue base. Based on what you've seen so far, can you see why I've had a hard time finding anything I didn't like?
Not Like The Movies was the first shade I pulled out when I opened up the box, I can't even tell you how many gasps I let out. Every way you hold the bottle, a new shade reveals itself. The best way I can describe this color is to compare it to the inside of an abalone shell. This polish reflects silvery, light purple, green, and blue tones in a pearly base. There's also a little bit of silver micro-glitter thrown in, but not too much. It's just enough to poke out and say "I'm here!" This one can still be just a tad on the sheer side with two coats, so a thin third coat might be best for full coverage.
The One That Got Away was almost the one that got away from having it's photo taken! It's a gorgeous berry color with brighter flecks that make it seem more magenta in various settings. You might see some images online of this one that look a lot brighter, and then some that look like an ordinary dark berry color. I encourage you to take a look at this one in-person before loving it or leaving it! It's not a drab berry, it has a lot of bright shimmer-quality to it that gives it life. Even this photo doesn't do it any justice and it was the closest I could get! I like the versatility of this one so much, that I'm wearing it with Black Shatter on all of my nails.
Now, about Black Shatter…
I know crackling/shatter polishes aren't exactly new, but they are new to me! I have fallen for it—hook, line, and sinker! If you're curious how it works, it's super easy to apply. You want to allow your base color to dry for a few minutes, then apply a thin coat of Black Shatter on top. Don't worry about it being perfect or try to go back over and add another layer. Within seconds, it starts to shrivel up—revealing peek-a-boos of your nail polish color underneath. In the few days I've been tinkering around with it, I've had great luck with waiting about a minute for it to dry, and then applying my top coat. Don't forget, the OPI/Serena Williams Glam Slam Collection is also being promoted with the Black Shatter top coat, you'll find my review for it here!
So…share your thoughts with me here girls! Anything you want to pick up?
Availability: January 2011; professional salons, ULTA, Regis, Trade Secret for $8.50 each.

TheBlaze's Billy Hallowell contributed to this report.
Why do we exist? What is the purpose of life? Is there a God?
These existential and teleological curiosities are among life's most commonly asked questions — and they also serve as the central focus of "The Answer: Proof of God in Heaven," a new book by businessman Marius Forte and actress Sam Sorbo.
Forte and Sorbo recently came by TheBlaze newsroom to discuss "The Answer" and to detail their theories about the Almighty.
The unique backgrounds of the book's authors provide insight both into their worldviews and motivation for penning a text that they believe provides "proof" of God's existence.
Forte, a Catholic, observed that people of all nations and spiritual backgrounds tend to grapple with the same fundamental questions.
"We wake up in this world and we want to find out: What is it about? Is there something [or] is there nothing?" he said, noting that while people have asked these same questions "since the beginning of time," the answers vary greatly from culture to culture.
Forte, who grew up in Austria, spent the greater part of his life visiting and working everywhere from the Middle East, the far East, South America and throughout Europe.
And then there's Sorbo, a model, actress and mother of three with a background in biomedical engineering who is married to fellow actor Kevin Sorbo. Sorbo was raised in a Jewish home, but said she never felt connected to the faith because she and her family weren't "practicing Jews."
After living several years without a defined religion, she recounted going on a search for the truth. Sorbo examined tarot cards and researched astrology until finally, she reached a conclusion.
"I convinced myself that there's a God because there's too much order in the universe to deny that," she said.
After figuring out she could actually believe in God, Sorbo returned to synagogue, but was unable to find one that suited her. She eventually found a Christian church and after a few months she converted.
"It took a while. You have to do the work. It's a process," she explained of her spiritual journey into Christianity.
Eventually Forte and Sorbo crossed paths, talked theology and realized that they both wanted to write a book that would explain universal laws in a practical way — a text that would point readers to the existence of an all-knowing creator.
"This book actually proves God to you in an incredibly simplistic way — just like two and two is four," Forte explained.
"I think of this book as a very pragmatic approach to God," Sorbo added. "It doesn't ask for faith."
Sorbo said that in order to benefit from the book, readers need only an interest in faith — not faith itself.
One of the subjects covered in the book is order and how it is seemingly present in the universe, a claim that leads to their believe that something — or someone — "put order into the chaos." To illustrate this point, Forte gave an example.
"If you take a million pebbles and line them up in a straight line — a million, which is not a lot. And then the wind blows them all apart. What's the chance that somehow these pebbles find themselves in a straight line again — blown back into a perfectly straight line?" he rhetorically asked.
He added, "That would be the easiest thing compared to one of your blood cells. The blood cell witnesses the order."
Part of understanding God, Sorbo and Forte argued, is having an openness to understanding the heavenly realm. If people have this willingness, the two believe that it is entirely possible that "The Answer" will resonate.
"There isn't a possibility that if you read this book, and you are open to it, that you will not know God," Forte confidently said.
But there will of course be those who scoff at the book's claims. Non-believers in particular likely won't put much credence in a book that purports to prove God's existence. Still, Sorbo hopes to reach even those who lack a religious allegiance.
"Atheism requires a lot more faith than believing in God," she said. "[Atheists] won't like the book because it will challenge their preconceived notions. My hope is that people will be curious and that it will reach them."
The book offers a very specific view on how one connects with God.
Forte said that the only way he believes a person can enter the presence of this perfectly ordered God is through the grace of his son, Jesus Christ. Forte calls Jesus the "bridge" who bears the sins of fallen individuals.
During their interview with TheBlaze, Forte and Sorbo also covered other topics in the book, including purgatory.
Forte doesn't see this theological realm as being postmortem, but rather he sees it as the time during which human faith is tried and tested on earth.
"Purgatory is right here," he said.
Sorbo made her reasons for penning the book clear.
"We wrote this book to bring people hope, because there is hope," she said. "I am on a crusade to save the country."

Rochdale is located to the north east of the
city of Manchester and straddles the trans-Pennine M62. The borough
includes not only the town of Rochdale but also Middleton, Heywood,
Littleborough, Milnrow, Newhey and Wardle. Between and around
the towns and villages are large areas of open space.
The skyline to the north and east of the borough
offers views of open moorland along the Pennine edge while to
the south and west are pleasant river valleys, woodlands and meadows.
Although Rochdale is geographically the second
largest of the 10 metropolitan boroughs that make up Greater Manchester,
it has the lowest population density, with some 62 square miles
shared by a population of more than 200,000. Rochdale has a significant
ethnic minority population (about 11 per cent) mainly of Pakistani
and Bangladeshi origin.
As at 1 April 2001 the total housing stock in
the borough was 88,703. This figure was made up of the following:
In the Deprivation Indices 2000, for all six summary measures
Rochdale Borough ranks between 13 and 42 nationally (and between
two and six in Greater Manchester).
The Definition of "affordable"
The adopted Unitary Development Plan (UDP) for Rochdale defines
affordable housing as "that which is available to local people
whose incomes do not enable them to buy or rent housing appropriate
to their needs on terms generally available on the open market".
The wording of this definition has been changed slightly in the
draft replacement plan and simply reflects the definition given
in Circular 6/98. More local definitions of affordable housing
may be developed from local housing needs studies. These more
specific, local definitions can then be used in guiding the local
requirements for affordable housing eg the relationship between
available income and price of appropriate dwellings.
The scale and location of the demand for affordable housing
Rochdale MBC has used the findings of a boroughwide housing
needs survey, its housing waiting list and a recent housing market
study to assess the level of demand for additional affordable
housing and to identify the priority areas for new provision.
Whilst the Authority is clear about the priority areas for
affordable housing within the borough, development of new homes
in these areas is often extremely difficult due to lack of available
A boroughwide housing needs survey carried out in 1996 indicated
that 7,190 households were in housing need.
Within Rochdale there is a requirement to develop affordable
homes which meet the acute housing needs of Rochdale's Asian community.
However the limited amount of land in the areas where the majority
of the community currently lives means that sites in alternative
areas have had to be considered. When developing homes for Asian
families outside traditional areas the Local Authority has adopted
a multi agency approach to ensure that key services, eg Health,
Education, Social Services, etc are available to provide support.
The Quality of affordable housing
The majority of new affordable housing developed within the
Rochdale MBC area is provided by housing associations. As a result
the properties built have to meet scheme development standards
(SDS) laid down by the Housing Corporation. These standards help
to ensure that new properties developed by housing associations
are of a good quality.
The Local Authority currently requires all private developers
delivering affordable housing through the implementation of the
affordable housing policy to build homes to the Housing Corporation's
scheme development standards.
For a number of years the Council has required all new housing
association homes for rent to be developed to the Life Times Homes
(LTH) Standards introduced by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
These standards, which exceed the Housing Corporations SDS, ensure
that properties can easily be adapted to meet the needs of older
and disabled persons.
One of the original targets within Rochdale's Asian Housing
Strategy was the production of a design brief to meet the essential
and desirable housing requirements of the borough's Asian community.
The brief was drawn up by the Local Authority and Ashiana Housing
Association. The Authority requires housing associations to meet
the requirements laid down in the design brief when they develop
new homes for rent within Inner Rochdale, which is the area of
the borough where the majority of the Asian Community currently
The adequacy of the existing supply and the level of resources
Sixty per cent of current social housing stock within the
Rochdale MBC area does not meet the decency standard. Rochdale
MBC has ambitious, but achievable plans to ensure that 100 per
cent of its stock will meet the decent standard by 2006.
The 1996 Housing Needs Survey found that 31.6 per cent of
all households in the borough were in housing that wasn't suitable
for their needs, though not all were in need of affordable housing.
Our key concern is that changing demographics mean that much of
our affordable housing is no longer meeting need both in terms
of design and location.
The levels of available funding will need to be increased
significantly to undertake the level of clearance, refurbishment
and redevelopment required in both the public and private housing
The extent to which planning gain can fund the level of affordable
housing required
It is extremely unlikely that planning gain, ie securing
on site provision on private developments, on its own will be
able to fund the level of affordable housing required.
Virtually all new affordable housing developed in the borough
is on brown field sites. The development of such sites is often
expensive and it is therefore unlikely that residential schemes
would be viable if local authorities sought significant levels
of affordable housing from private developers.
It has been the experience of Rochdale Council that contributions
from developers towards on site provision have not been sufficient
to meet the full cost of the affordable housing required. Additional
funding from a housing association partner or from the Housing
Corporation is usually required.
How resources should be balanced between social housing and
options for owner occupation for those who cannot afford to buy
(including shared ownership) and whether any additional mechanisms
are required to bring forward shared ownership-type schemes
Our housing market study confirmed that in keeping with national
trends, the desire and aspiration for owner occupation is strong,
particularly amongst the younger generation. Arguably there is
an abundant supply of "low cost" terraced housing in
the borough which would meet this demand.
However, evidence from the same study and subsequent area
specific research has demonstrated a growing dissatisfaction with
the style and concentrations of terraced housing within Rochdale.
Our need is therefore to restructure areas of dense housing by
removal of some of the poorer quality stock and replacement with
lower density modern stock. In partnership with Oldham, Bolton
and Manchester we are currently developing detailed proposals
on how to ensure that home ownership is accessible to relatively
low income householders in our housing regeneration areas.
We are particularly interested in adopting the "Homebuy"
model along the lines suggested by the recent Joseph Rowntree
Foundation reportSwamps and Alligators. We are also looking
at "gap" funding and risk sharing with developers. Further
details of these initiatives are available on request.
Whether targets in Regional Planning Guidance (RPG) are appropriate
The draft RPG for the North West included an estimate that
around 30 per cent of all new homes built in the region between
1996 and 2021 may need to be affordable. A recommendation in the
Report of the Panel following the Examination in Public (EIP)
of the draft RPG, stated that even this indicative target should
be removed. This is in line with Government advice in Planning
Policy Guidance Note 11 "Regional Planning", which states
that "Regional targets [for affordable housing] are inappropriate
since assessments of housing need are matters for local authorities
to undertake in the light of their local circumstances."
We concur with this approach as regional variance may be
so great as to render such targets, however indicative, meaningless.
Such targets could also be restrictive or overbearing depending
upon local affordable housing requirements and the need to realise
other planning objectives which may be a priority in the area.
Whether targets on decent and affordable housing will be met
by central and local government
Rochdale MBC would not have been able to meet the Government's
target regarding decency standards for social housing if it had
not switched the management of its housing stock to an arms length
management organisation.
Switching the management of the housing stock to an ALMO
will provide the level of funding required to carry out the improvement
works necessary to ensure that all the Council properties meet
the decency standards set by the Government.
There is evidence to suggest that the number of affordable
housing units being secured on sites is less than the number required.
However, it does take some time for local policies to be developed
to a level where more significant results in terms of affordable
housing will start to come through. Another issue is that affordable
housing can only come forward on sites of a certain size. If the
housing supply for a local authority area is made up of predominately
smaller sites then the potential to secure affordable units is
Whether current policies and practices are leading to the creation
of mixed communities
One of the key areas of advice within revised PPG3 was the
need for local authorities to develop policies which promote mixed
and balanced communities. It is likely that, like ourselves, many
authorities are only now formulating policies to take account
of this advice and so it may be some time before we start to see
the results. In Rochdale recent housing development has seen schemes
which incorporate a high proportion of three and four bed detached
dwellings. Whilst this is necessary to some extent to increase
housing choice in the borough, (as with many authorities in the
North West there is a high number of smaller, terraced properties),
it has led to large areas of housing with similar characteristics.
Hopefully future policy and supplementary planning guidance will
help to create new estates which are more distinctive and incorporate
a range of housing in terms of type, size and tenure to reflect
local demand. A key challenge will be to incorporate affordable
housing within the scheme in a way which would make visitors to
the scheme unable to differentiate between the affordable and
standard housing units.
Segregation of communities along racial lines was highlighted
as a concern in a number of reports following the disturbances
in several northern towns last year.
The reports mentioned a number of communities that have been
segregated on racial grounds in Oldham, Burnley and Bradford and
this segregation was creating a barrier to promoting "community
cohesion and racial harmony".
The Cantle report specifies that the "principles of
a new citizenship" should be used to drive a more coherent
approach to housing services. Housing and planning practice would
feed into an essentially social agenda for mixed communities.
Cantle observes that the impact of housing policies on community
cohesion "seems to have escaped serious consideration to
date", in contrast to the substantial amount of work on equal
opportunities regarding access to social housing.
In Rochdale we have successfully developed a "mixed"
housing scheme working in partnership with Northern Counties Housing
Association, Ashiana Housing Association and the Surma Housing
It is our view that in towns and cities with significant
BME population social landlords should give priority to developing
mixed housing schemes to promote social cohesion.
We support the recommendation in the Cantle report (see below)
and urge the sub-committee to consider introducing a mechanism
to encourage and promote "mixed" housing schemes when
capital allocations for new social housing are made.
Recommendation in the Cantle Report regarding mixed housing
The impact of housing policies and programmes on school catchment
areas in particular, should be subject to review and a significant
part of each local Community Cohesion Strategy.
Whether more green field development is needed to meet housing
In the case of Rochdale Borough, the draft replacement UDP
does not envisage the need to release any new greenfield sites
over the period of the Plan. It is anticipated that the RPG requirement
for Rochdale can be met through current commitments, brown field
windfalls, conversions and a relatively small number of brown
field allocations. We believe that restricting green field development
is necessary to achieve urban regeneration objectives by making
more efficient use of previously developed land and buildings
within the urban area.
A large proportion of the new households forecasted to be
formed in Rochdale over the next 15 years will come from the growing
Asian community, which is located predominately within the inner
wards. The needs of these households are unlikely to be met by
green field extensions to the urban area. Instead we need to tackle
issues of inappropriate housing within the inner areas of the
towns within the borough, through clearance and renewal, in order
to develop a stock of housing which meets the needs of local people
and requirements for modern living.
The cost to individuals
The consequences of any shortfall in the provision of decent,
affordable housing can vary significantly depending on the circumstances
of individual households. In Rochdale we have a significant number
of households in the inner part of the borough living in grossly
overcrowded conditions. A typical example of an overcrowded household
would be a family of two adults and five children living in a
two up, two down terraced house.
In such circumstances there is evidence to show that children
from overcrowded families achieve low attainment in schools as
they often struggle to find any "quiet space" in their
home to do their homework.
There is also evidence that:
As a local authority we feel that adverse housing conditions
have a profound detrimental affect on the health, educational
attainment and social well-being of individuals. There is also
a potential negative affect on the economy where there is a shortfall
in the provision of decent affordable housing. We therefore urge
the sub-committee to do all it can to ensure that every effort
is made by the relevant agencies to address this issue.

Using Rose fertilizer is important.
If you want to see a lot of flowers and strong healthy rose plants, you need to give them some "rose food"! Yes, that's what fertilizer is! Good nutrition that gives the plants all they need to bloom.
That is one of the main important things to remember when start knowing how to grow a rose! When the roses bloom and show the best side of themselves they will give you many lovely moments in the garden!
Some fertilizing rules:
The first time in the year you give rose fertilizer is in the early spring. Then continue to give them once a month until the end of summer. Do not give fertilizer in the autumn or winter.
If you recently planted your rose, don't add fertilizer until after the first blooming.
Buy a fertilizer that includes nitrogen. The easiest way is to buy special rose fertilizer, but just make sure that there is nitrogen in it. (Nitrogen gives energy to the whole plant and will help the plant producing lots of flowers.)
Do not forget to water your roses heavily before fertilizing.
You might also add some compost to strengthen your soil. Do that not more than twice a year, spring and summer.
Do not jump this part! It is easy done and it goes fast, and the result is beautifully blooming roses! To give some is one of the most rewarding thing you can do growing roses in your garden!

HS2 project dealt blow as economic benefits of high speed rail line revised down
THE economic benefits of the controversial HS2 high speed rail project has been revised down today by the company responsible for developing the scheme.
A report by HS2 Ltd said the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of the project is estimated at 2.3 per cent compared to the 2.5 per cent given last August.
The figures from the scheme's promoters mean for every £1 spent HS2 will produce a £2.30 benefit compared with £2.50 for the wider British economy.
Opponents of the project said the lower figure was further proof that the project was a waste of money and should be scrapped.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said it was important the project was value for money but Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the scheme would have massive benefits for commuters.
We need a radical solution and HS2 is it. A patch-and-mend job will not do - the only option is a new north-south railway
Mr McLoughlin said: "We need a radical solution and HS2 is it. A patch-and-mend job will not do - the only option is a new north-south railway.
"HS2 brings massive benefits to the North, is great for commuters and the alternatives just don't stack up.
"Now is the time to be bold and deliver a world-class railway which Britain deserves and can truly be proud of. Future generations will not forgive us if we fail to take this opportunity."
The Conservative MP referred to a report from Network Rail that said if the HS2 project did not go ahead there would be 14 years of weekend engineering work.
The controversial project aims to create a high speed rail link between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
The cost of the HS2 scheme has risen by 17 per cent since initial projections from £33 billion to £42.6 along with a £7.5bn outlay for the high speed trains.
HS2 Ltd said the new BCR was partly based on a recalculation of the number of business travellers using the 225 mph trains.
Labour MP Mr Balls said his party had supported HS2 "in the past" but it was important the costs had to "stack up".
He said: "We have supported HS2 and there is a case for new investment in a new North-South rail link. But when you have got a project of this scale - £50 billion potentially - you have got to know that it is really value for money.
"In the last couple of years the Government has been all over the place and the costs have got out of control. So my message to David Cameron and George Osborne is 'Get a grip - you shouldn't be cheerleaders, you should be taking a hard-headed look at costs and benefits'."
The first phase of the HS2 project is due to be completed by 2026 with the second Y-shaped section of line finished around 2032/33.
Chief executive of the project Alison Murno recently said she envisages the scheme being on time and within budget.

Large areas of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) soils in South and Southeast Asia are calcareous. Field studies in the 1983 dry and wet seasons evaluated the effects of N source and application method on N loss and N utilization in a calcareous clay loam soil using the 15N-balance technique. In the 1983 wet season and the 1984 dry season, crop recovery of the residual 15N remaining after the first crop was determined. When urea supergranules (USG) were deep point-placed, the partial pressure of ammonia (pNH3) in the floodwater was negligible. High floodwater pNH3 was calculated with split application of fertilizer. Farmers' split of prilled urea (PU) gave the highest pNH3 (0.44 Pa in the wet season). pNH3 in the floodwater peaked on the third day and dropped to negligible thereafter. Deep placement (10 cm) of USG had the highest grain yield in the dry season. Ammonium sulfate produced a yield similar to that of urea. The highest 15N recovery by the crop (straw + grain) was 78% in the dry season and 64% in the wet season with deep point placement of USG. Nitrogen-15-balance data showed that with point placement of USG, 3% N was not accounted for after harvest in the dry season and 10% in the wet season. In contrast, when urea or ammonium sulfate was split-applied using improved timing and water management (researchers' split), 26 to 28% of applied N was not recovered at harvest in the dry season and 36 to 41% in the wet season. Soil N fractionation showed that 14 to 26% of 15N-labeled fertilizer was immobilized into the acid-hydrolyzable organic N fraction in the dry season and 9 to 18% in the wet season. With point placement of USG and band placement of urea, the decrease in the value of hydrolyzable organic N fraction at harvest indicated N release for plant use during the cropping season. Applied N immobilized into the nonhydrolyzable organic N and fixed in the nonexchangeable N was not significant.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

'It's Ruby Rosemount's twelfth birthday. It's also the first day of the school holidays, and Ruby has just read a new message on her mother's list of holiday instructions: Do not enter the attic alone. As Ruby is puzzling over this new rule, she receives a letter from her exotic and much-loved grandmother, and learns that she'll find a special gift in the attic. Ruby can't resist. She goes into the attic, and to her amazement she finds that Granny McQuirky's gift is a magic carpet.
'So begins a magical adventure which sees Ruby travelling to an oasis in a far-off desert land. Here genies, villains, sand sprites and magic spells will test all her powers - including some she still doesn't know she has.' (Publisher's blurb)

For a few weeks, I had been eye-balling a gold, rayon, sleeveless knit tunic. I couldn't wait for it to go on sale and once it did, I scooped in and made my purchase. It was like my new toy. I wore it with jeans, leggings and as a sexy little number on girls night out. When it was time to be cleaned, I checked out the tag for care directions and to my surprise, it said "Dry Clean Only." Three little words I've come to find a nuisance. So, I decided to take my chances and wash "with caution" (in cold water). Big mistake. My new, favorite frock was now a teensy tunic. So unfair. If only I had followed the care directions and spent the money to dry clean!
Come to find out, rayon is one of many fabrics that you just don't want to gamble with. It can look like cotton, silk, wool or linen but it's a manufactured fiber – which basically means it could shrink if it's not dry cleaned. For years, I've washed "Dry Clean Only" items and they lived to tell the story for many more wears. So, what's the difference this time? This time, I did not do my homework. Next time, I'll pay closer attention to the tag. If it says, "Dry Clean Only" I'll follow the directions. Lesson learned.

Many have started to talk about postmodernism. Is modernism really dead? Paul Celan is one person who struggled with this question. Others were the Situationists. What is home?
Apropos of exodus, I recently found the Alhambra decree by which the Spanish Jews were expelled from Spain, as well as Isaac Abravanel's brilliant reply. Many of the Sephardi Jews went to Turkey. They also made many contributions to Kabbalah.
Speaking of Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Prof. Brinner and I have put together a page on Jewish languages.
More recently, for post-modernism there is the on-line journal of theory and culture, as well as a journal on postmodern culture. With all the "good" thinking on the Left, it was time for some misbehaviour! So there is Bad Subjects, those folx who refuse to go along behamishly, but would rather resist, be bad subjects.
Here I will attempt to to give my thoughts on modernity, and to give some alternatives to the usual vision of what modernity can be.
Sometime in 1995,
Ken Goldberg and I had a dialogue regarding
Adam, Golem and Robots.
Check out Jenny Cool's take on modernity through her films and her work as well an essay on Haraway.
There are some obvious
to other interests I have, like the
I have given, as well as to my interests in
This arose out of my long-standing desire to make sense of this new culture
I came to. My analytical bend naturally tried to analyze things, so that
politix was a place I tried to go.
I have tried hard to understand this, so can give just a few thoughts: I was
raised with the idea of Progress - I could see it written with a
capital P. Only recently have I questioned the premise of this.
It felt at first uncomfortable to question Progress, since most questions so far had come from the right, and I did not feel that was my location, politically. Yet, the question would not go away. Indeed, our idea of ourselves as modernists is rather olde, heir to the thoughts of Des Cartes and Newton and then the Enlightenment. Rationality, then generalized as Reason, defined the main ( only?) method of understanding the World. It was a world with infinite resources, infinite in size, made up of people loosely linked to each other, with the European people the clear superior, (though this point was rarely made explicit, it was implied). Rationality would allow us to understand and then exploit this world, to the end of making life much easier for ourselves. Reason, by itself, would show us how to do this, and it would be the final arbiter on any course of action. Implied not so explicitly in this was the idea that feelings, emotions were part of the self to be controlled, minimized, repressed (destroyed ?).
Yet this has failed. We see now the return of the Repressed. It would be better to have the return to the Repressed. Perhaps then we can dissolve the cop culture we live in and begin to weave our Criminal (Quilting) Bee .

"great read"
I loved this book. The male hero was too good to be true but I enjoyed it anyway. What a great story about how we should treat each other. I can't wait to read her next novel.
"Virgin River series"
Love the Virgin River Series. You can visualise everything, and I have listened to each of them twice now, and really enjoyed them. Am continually going onto Audible to find out when the next one is coming out.
"Loved it!"
Just when you think it ends, a new story line starts -- it's really good and it's not slow but moves right along. I really like this author and will read all the rest of her books!
Loved the two main characters in this book. It was such a touching book and you could visualize the book as you read it.
"Welcome to Shangrila"
To be fair in my review, I stumbled upon this book without realizing that it was in the "Romance" category. I was looking for more of a drama, and the synopsis read like an interesting story about a young woman starting on a new journey with her life. What I got was something that must be similar to a Harlequin Romance novel. The entire book is set in an utopian small town, where the men are all sensitive, thoughtful, attentive to every woman's needs, doting, apologetic for the slightest transgressions, romantic to the core, never have any needs of their own, and the main character literally worships his newfound love in a way that would only happen in a woman's dreams. In addition to that, everyone in town in polite, warm, welcoming, understanding, thoughtful, never gossip,and are downright nauseating with their sugar-coated personalities. In fact, I was concerned that I was in danger of becoming diabetic from all the sweetness in this book. Even the town drunk was portrayed as endearing. The only reason I forced myself to continue listening to it was because I found the sequel, Shelter Mountain, (which is actually better) on a sale, bought it, and then bought this to read before it. The storylines for both really have potential for some depth. I kept hoping that the author might eventually add this to her writing, but to no avail. I think if I had to sit through one more gathering where everyone was so nauseatingly nice, I was going to be ill. Once I realized that this was a Romance novel, it made more sense, as I suppose there is a call for books that allow the reader to escape to a perfect world and live vicariously through the characters for a little vacation from real life. But if you are wanting a story with any semblance of true character development, and some depth and insight, I definitely do not recommend this book. As I wrote above, Shelter Mountain is better, and I don't think one has to read Virgin River first to enjoy it.
An excellent read. Light hearted, sweet, predictable. Nice plot development, medical facts were correct, well researched. I read this in one day, didn't want to put it down. This one is a keeper.
A credit well spent.
"Love the book, now listening to the entire series"
Not right away because I have so many others I want to listen to. Also got hooked on the series - so I am on book 6 right now.
I love the predictability of the character's, story plot, etc. Growing up in a dysfunctional family and never having a successful relationship that worked - I live vicariously through these characters. They have provided an idea to me what a somewhat "normal" life is like and what a somewhat "normal" relationships is like. I feel safe with the characters. I am not a person who likes scary thrillers, dark story lines. I like books that are uplifting, make me feel better - this book does and Robyn Carr's entire series does as well. I am definitely hooked and grateful I am.
I love the way Robyn Carr describes the love making sciences - in this book - and all of her series. They are so sweet, loving and yet delicious. Makes me envious that I never had that in my life. Robyn Carr is a gifted story teller.
Love Story and I do have to say I am sorry
Bought this book on fluke and fell in love with the entire series and Robyn Carr. I hope the series never dies. When certain characters die or move out of the series, I mourn their loss. Robyn Carr has a way of making you fall in love with them, make them become your friend, you care for them and when they are gone - your friend is gone too. I love the series. By the way, I do consider myself to very intellectual - this is the last type of book I ever thought I would fall in love with. I almost always enjoy biographies and psychology books, never romance. But Robyn Carr changed all of that for me. Like my dog who made me love again by force - continually nudging me with her nose and jumping in my lap until I could not refuse to love anymore - Robyn Carr has accomplished the same thing. Love you Robyn.
"Started good, turned out boring"
I thought it was a really good book in the first half. Unfortunately as soon as the two main characters got together about halfway through, it became quite boring. Too much time spent on long drawn-out sex scenes and boring dialog that really didn't contribute to the several interesting plot lines the author had begun in the beginning of the book. I'll listen through to see how it ends -- I'm getting through it by fast forwarding when it gets too boring, and putting my Ipod on 2x speed so it goes faster when I still want to hear what's going on but the dialog gets too slow. There have still been good parts that pop in here and there in the last half.
"Another excellent listen"
This book is excellent. Characters are fantastic I don't think I can say enough good things about it. Robin Carr is now one of my favorite authors. Narrator is one of the best too. Audible please add more Robin Carr books!!! I want to know what happens to to Mike (you'll learn more about him in Shelter Mountain also a must listen.)
"What a great series!"
I can't believe how many books Carr has gotten out of this series but she has. Each one as good as the last. After listening to them all, I still can't wait for more. Fun to see how the town keeps growing. I find myself wishing I could visit this little town and all the people in it. So fun. Easy to listen to. Keep 'em coming!!!

The heavy floods that swept through Chennai about a week ago led to a massive destruction of property. Auto insurance companies are gearing up to receive equally massive claims.Many claims have already been initiated with the ticket values for small vehicles ranging between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000.Tickets for vehicles that have an engine capacity of more than 1,500CC will be between Rs 8 Lakh to Rs 10 Lakh.
According to the insurance regulations and policies, the insured may forward a claim because the vehicle was subjected to natural calamities.
However, there are provisions that are designed to limit the number of claims. In this case, the insurance firms are only interested in paying for the damages that have strictly been caused by the flooding. For example, the client cannot claim a replacement of his/her vehicle's brakes.
In situations where the vehicle was completely washed away, the insurance firms will categorize it as a complete loss and the client will be paid back through the insured declared value (IDV). Here are some of the major points that the insurance will address.
The Engine
Most of the claims involve cases where the engines were damaged when they got submerged in the water.
Motor insurance does not usually involve such damages. Premiums will be influenced by age, engine capacity, make and model. This type pf cover can cost an extra Rs 1,500.
Consumables and Fittings
Consumables include essentials such as brake oil, oil filter, bearings, bolts, etc. They are not included in the policy.
Fittings such as the AC and the radio might be subjected to water damage especially if it was an aftermarket installment. These will not be replaced.
External damages caused by the impact
Insurance firms have been receiving so many claims on account of external damages. There were many cases reported where vehicles were washed away and damaged by the strong currents.

Creativity and Art Are Not Luxuries
Teaching children to be creative is a love of mine but creating creative adventures for children is an even greater Love. In this blog I'm hoping that the importance of creating an atmosphere of creativity for your child or any child comes across. As well, showing and guiding kids to creativity is even greater.
Just what is creativity? Is it the ability to do art? Well that would weed out a large percentage of people not being creative and I don't believe that to be true. Is it singing, dancing, acting? Well yes, each of these things have an element of creativity to them but creativity is much more than one's ability to disseminate the "Arts.". It is the quality of thinking....thinking in ways that are not always traditional... Seeing things in a unique way. Visit the link below to see what teaching your child creativity can do? http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/10/22/motivation.kids/
So now that you understand what creativity is, let's explain what it is not. It's not placing your child in front of Barney episodes all day long, it is not allowing them to be on the internet or cell phone non-stop---but it is reading to them, doing crafts and art with them, exposing them to new ideas and motivating them to learn.
"Exposure to creative pursuits early in life is key to helping children get motivated to do creative things themselves, said Shelley Carson, a psychologist at Harvard University and author of "Your Creative Brain: Seven Steps to Maximize Imagination, Productivity, and Innovation in Your Life."
I will be including a series of personal videos on a creative project to do with your child and my e-book "10 Simple but Creative Activities to Do With Your Child," as a free download. YouTube videos to watch as well as articles on the topic and toys that promote creativity instead of taking away from it.
Keep looking for my blog as I explore with you ideas to help you and your child to get more out of being creative and to show how important it is for this new century.
"Be always artistically focused and life beautiful"......smooches!!
