Hello. I have kind of a silly question.
I am 7 1/2 months pregnant with my first child. Today I was sorting individual baby outfits into baggies (strange nesting urge), and I realized I am not sure I know how to dress a baby. I mean I would think it's pretty much the same as dressing myself. Right?
One thing I have noticed is that most moms around here seem to ALWAYS put a onesie on underneath their baby's outfits. Is that normal in other areas? Do you do this? Why? I guess maybe if extra warmth is needed. Or if you have jammies with an itchy applique or zipper.
But I don't see why little pants and a shirt aren't fine on their own. I am just curious about the thought process here.
If it was cold out, yes I did use a onsie as an extra layer. Hoodies and sweaters seemed to get in baby's face too much. I'm not a fan of shirts or dresses for babies who can't sit up, because when they're constantly being picked up under their armpits, worn in packs and kicking around on their backs, the shirt/dress seems to ride up and expose their belly and get in their face. Shirts work better for me once kids can sit up, but I never liked dresses until my kids could walk. They get in the way of crawling.

Yeah, they really help keep the baby's clothes in place. Regular shirts and pants just get all rumpled up all the time on a floppy little baby. And they do also make a nice snug base layer that you can then add onto as needed. Then when baby gets older, they're nice for stopping the baby who has figured out how to undo their diaper...
I live in a warm climate where a onesie can be a complete outfit for most of the year. Maybe add socks and a hat. If I want baby to wear pants and shirt, I use a onesie as the shirt -- it won't come untucked or ride up. When it's cold enough that I want the baby to wear long sleeves, I don't put a onesie underneath. It just never gets *that* cold here. Footie PJs, hat, and blanket are plenty. But, if it did get that cold, I think a onesie would be a great idea. It would protect against scratchy zippers like you said, and it would stay in place, unlike a coat or sweater.
I agree that it's pretty useless to put a dress on a baby who isn't walking yet, but I will if it's a special occasion.
FWIW, it's true that shirts can ride up, but my 6-month-old baby has worn onesies maybe... 3 times in her entire life. We do EC.

My LO wears onesies as the full outfit (at least while it's warm!). It wasn't until recently that I found out they were meant to be underwear. ;)
Shirts are fine, too, but we've found/been given more onesies for this age. I find pants too cumbersome in this weather.
I am one for keeping babies fairly warm. Not overheated, but they don't seem to be able to keep their body heat in as well as adults or older kids do.
I always put my children in onesies or undershirts. I think the clothes look better and I think babies need an extra layer in all but the hottest weather, or even inside air conditioned homes in the summer. Before we had air conditioning our babies always wore onsies to bed in the summer. Once we got AC, they wore onesies plus pajamas or stretchy sleepers, plus socks.
When I'm working with a baby who isn't gaining I'm pretty fanatical about making sure the baby isn't wasting calories trying to stay warm. I've seen too many babies who aren't gaining properly with freezing hands and feet, nothing on their head, wearing nothing but a footless outfit. For young babies, and babies who aren't gaining well I always recommend: undershirt or onesie, sleeper or outfit to cover entire body, SOCKS (babies don't have great circulation and need to keep their feet warm) and a light blanket, plus a hat in newborns or a pilots cap in the winter for babies under 2. My kids always wore pilot caps in the house in the winter. I would tie it on the side, under their ear, so the bow wouldn't bother them.
Where I live it's pretty common for babies to only wear one piece suits. I don't know of anyone who thinks of them as underwear.
I personally *hate* shirts and pants or dresses on non-walking babies. They are constantly riding up or getting twisted and needing adjustment. My babies wear one piece suits 99% of the time. Short-sleeves in summer, long-sleeves with a pair of leggings and socks in winter. A jumper on top if needed. At night they wear footsie pyjammas and I do put another suit and socks underneath if it's cold as neither of my girls would tolerate bed clothes.
Simple, comfortable, easy (I've read some people complaining about the press studs making nappy changing difficult but I've never had a problem with them.)
Pretty much for the reasons mentioned above - warm and they stay in place. One extra tip, for very small babies (first few months), I found out that onsies that open in the front are much easier to put on than those that you have to put the baby's head through (they have the buttons on the crotch). Once they can lift their head properly and half way sit, I switched back to "normal" onsies.
My babies all had explosive poop so I loved onsies for saving the other clothes if possible. If they have a onsie on and they explode you can normally get the other clothes off or at least the shirt pulled up before the poop leaks through the onsie. I also don't like the shirts always riding up, It's easier to hold onto a onsie the a bare belly.
I only put a onesie on underneath if it is especially cold or if I want to put them in an impractical outfit that could ride up (dress or regular shirt) and even then I usually use a side snap shirt instead as I like those better since the diaper is still exposed. Normally, I only use onesie's as a full outfit (when it's hot) or with pants. I much prefer one-piece sleep-n-play type outfits for babies that can't crawl/walk. And I agree with the PP, the onesies that snap up the front are the way to go with really little babies, until babies have head control (3-4 months), I don't like putting clothes over their head.
I had always read you should always dress a baby as you would be comfortable plus one additional layer. I think the onesie serves that purpose for most people.
I also used a onesie as an "outfit" for the first few months of my baby's life. She was born in late May and it's pretty warm where I live until around October. Super easy. I'm not big on real "outfits" for little babies. Comfort is key, in my opinion :)
I love the onesies with the little skirts for girls. They are short enough so crawling babies won't have to do the "dress crawl" (y'know, with one knee up in the air with a foot on the ground to keep the legs from being caught on the dress) but they look so cute on crawling babies, walking babies and babies in arms. Add a pair of socks and a tiny hat and you have an outfit to go out, or just the onesie at home.
Because babies aren't standing or sitting but instead lying down their shirts tend to ride up. Having your shirt bunched up under your armpits seems like it would be uncomfortable, and when it's cold outside it would be rather chilly. So where I live you generally see babies either in only a diaper or in a onsie when it's warm, when it's cold a onsie is one of the layering pieces to keep their bellies covered.
Thank you, cynthiamoon. (That's not my baby, I grabbed it off Google. She's awfully cute, though) A lot of online places sell those pilot caps. I know, I started putting my babies in them because hats fell off. My youngest child was a pre term baby and (sadly) I had a planned C Section. She had a little round head like the size of an orange, and caps would just slide right off that little ball. We live in an old house, and it's very drafty, and I adhered to the adage "always keep the head warm" so I found these little pilot caps and my babies could stay warm and cute, too. I would even put their winter hats right over the pilot caps when we had to go out. With our youngest being so small, she really needed to be kept warm so she could use her calories for brain and body growth.
If you look around on the net, cynthiamoon, you will be able to find nice pilot caps for your little ones (my preterm baby wore them in the house until she was probably about 4 years old or so) they aren't expensive, and most places that have them sell them in a lot of colors.
I couldn't find a pic of a baby with the tie on the side, under the ear, though. This is what worked best for us. I had really "rooty" babies and they would try to root at the bow if it was under their chin.
I do onesies for the riding up reason, too. It's not such a big deal in warmer months but I really like onesies when it's colder.
Onesies are also good even in cooler weather if you swaddle. We swaddle our kids day and night as newborns so a long sleeve sleeper isn't always appropriate.
I like both long and short sleeve onsies for the reasons others mentioned. Mainly that they don't ride up and expose their belly. My go to outfit is a onesie and pants. My kids have short legs so sleepers with feet never fit correctly. If it fit in the torso then their feet didn't reach the bottom of the legs. I do like rompers (essentially a sleeper without feet), but many people dislike them because baby socks are notorious for coming off. The Carter brand stays on my kids just fine.
Love the pilot cap! I'm going to get one for my 5 week old.

This is the main reason mine stay in a onesie; . I have also found that the onesie snaps will help to hold the wraps w/ worn velcro in place for just one more baby...
I'm not a big fan of onesies. When it's warm enough to just wear a onesie or just a onesie and baby legs I like them, but if it's colder I prefer one piece outfits with footies, and if an extra layer is needed under that I prefer a t-shirt because I hate the extra snaps in the crotch. I'll second the recommendation to get snap front shirts for newborns! Absolutely hate pulling shirts over floppy newborn heads! We use wool diaper covers, and for infants I prefer wraps which you can put a onesie over, but the onesie has to be a little bigger to fit over the bulky cover. But for 9 months plus I prefer wool pants or shorts, and they look funny with onesies on the outside, so at that point I switch to exclusively using t-shirts.

Well, I am also for keeping babies warm, but my DD seems to have some strange thermo-regulation system. She gets sweaty and upset whenever I put a few layers on her or a hat (in the room temperature). She sleeps with pajamas only and seems warm enough (I check her often). thus, it depends on a child too...
My daughter seems to have inherited her dad's metabolism and never seemed particularly cold after the age of about 1 month or so (unlike me, I'm always cold!) I just liked onesies because they didn't ride up. I also think short dresses are cute on babies, but there were some longer ones we had to shelve until she was walking well, because she'd try to crawl and get her knees or feet caught on the hem.
Yeah, it's just because regular t-shirts ride up a lot so it's nice to have something that pins at the bottom.
I dressed my baby in old fashioned nightshirts when he was a newborn. They're like really long nightgowns that fasten at the back, sort of a half-swaddler. I had them in the hospital and all the old nurses said, "They never put babies in these anymore but the hospital used to have them like this until the 80's!" (The nightshirts were my grandmother's). Very good for little newborns since it's hard to get their feet into anything!
After that, it was cold, so we skipped onesies and just dressed him in those pajamas with feet. Get ones that snap, not ones that go over the head. Stuff that goes over the head = annoying.
Eventually, my kid grew up, and yes, wore shirts and pants like everyone.
I did onesies because my kids are obsessed with getting naked, and around seven months they start figuring out the Velcro and snaps on their diapers and removing them. Onsie snaps are out of their visual range so much harder to undo. Once they get to that point, I figure it is time for toilet training!
Personally, I always disliked onesies. It was extra work getting them dressed and extra work when changing diapers. I like them when it is warm and that is all they need under a blanket, but rarely ever used them as an extra layer. I really like the full body sleepers instead.
What PP said! Love them with leggings and even an additional t-shirt/cardigan or something on top that adds warmth but not diaper difficulty. With my first I cut and sewed all the onesies into t-shirts because we EC'd him and used cloth diapers mostly without a cover, so he would have t-shirt and diaper with snappi and wool pants when cold. Also socks and leather booties for older baby in cooler temps.
With DS2 I use onsies all the time. I'm using paper diapers this time, for various reasons, and love the simple, smooth, ease of a few snaps and off the dirty diaper. He is so cute with leggings! Now that fall is here I put pants over the onsies but I can see that this wont last and I'm already digging out my old wool pants. He will probably transition to pants and shirt, with onsies for warmth if I feel it is necessary.
With little babies and babies in sposies onsies are great. With bulkier cloth diapers they look a little weird and add an additional step to diapering.
Oh-by PP I actually meant post #20, Brambleberry from page one
Onesies always seemed to wick wetness from the cloth diapers, and the snaps were annoying. My newborns hardly ever wore outfits, rather they were in a gown with baby legs, a cotton sleeper or a tshirt with a fleece sleeper. I don't like fleece directly on my skin, so I put a cotton layer between for the baby too. I suggest the side snaps too
What I like about them is that the babys belly is free, so you don't have to worry about the healing belly button or pants being too tight.
There is some very strange advice out there about how freezing your baby should be, isn't there? Some people say that a room should be 16°, baby should be in a thin long-sleeved PJ, no hat and that is plenty.
My boy was FREEZING when I did that. Blue-lipped and cold-handed. That surely can't be the optimum?
He was born in September, so it was cold pretty quickly. We dressed him in a short-sleeved onesie, over that a long-sleeved onesie, plus socks and a warm sleeping bag. That way he was snug, happy, perfect temp and slept like a trooper.
I love onesies, because there is no cold bit on their belly and it stays in place. And it is CUTE!

WINTER: IT'S that time of the year when your hair starts to create chaos because you're going in and out of heated rooms, having super hot showers and then blasting your tresses with a hairdryer so you don't have to go to bed with it wet .
These five hair products have been released just in time for the big chill, and all claim to give your hair the TLC - and the glam - it needs. But are they worth the investment? We put them to the test:
Haze styling powder from Evo, RRP $29.95 for 50 ml
Evo's Haze styling powder is handy for me because I have such fine and straight hair. I'm forever trying to hold body in my hair but it's prone to going flat the minute I walk out the door, no matter how much hairspray I use. This haze powder is the perfect alternative to dry shampoo for fine hair, it gives the roots some texture and means I can rock the 'voluminous birds nest' with very little effort.
Treat this stuff like gold fairy dust: You only need a tiny sprinkle on your roots and you're good to go!

Bird of Paradise styler from GHD, RRP $279.00
The limited edition styler from GHD is being marketed as "the ultimate styler for fashion fabulous hair this season!" While I was a little unsure how this styler differed from other GHDs, it does, in subtle ways. Aside from the beautiful Lagoon colour, this GHD's barrel is rounder so you can make waves more easily in your hair, and the power cord is has more swivel power. The standard ceramic plates exist in the Bird of Paradise styler, and having really curly hair, the pure straightening power of a GHD is unrivalled. I straightened my hair on a Tuesday night, and by wash time on Thursday night it was still straight. If you already have a GHD hang on to it becuase the changes to this one are minimal, but if you're in the market for a new one, give the Bird of Paradise styler a shot.
Use with: Schwarzkopf Essence ULTÎME Omega Repair BB Beauty Balm. This stuff is literally BB Cream for your hair, and it is amazing. Lightweight, ultra moisturising and shine-inducing, I've been using this product every wash for a few weeks now and even though I've been straightening my hair more than usual, it hasn't suffered in the slightest.

2-in-1 styling + finishing spray from KMS, RRP $31.95
I've always been cautious about using a styling spray when straightening my hair. I hate that feeling of your locks being stiff and brittle, or in other cases oily and flat. I've got naturally straight long hair and I like to have a softness and volume to my 'do after blow-drying it, rather than have it look like it's locked in for life. I was pleasantly surprised by KMS' 2-in-1 styling and finishing spray. While the fine spray didn't weigh my tresses down (which is great) I found it didn't make a huge difference to the overall look or feel of my hair, which is probably the point. The hidden protection from styling tools at 200'C is the added bonus that you can't see.
While I didn't find a marked change on straightened hair, I'd definitely use this product again when curling my hair. I hate that brittle feeling of a curl after you're forced to blast it with hairspray afterwards to hold. But this product was great because it's applied BEFORE you form the curl. I needed less hairspray to hold the style afterwards which in itself is a little win. A light spray with the product once finished was all I needed to seal the deal. I'd definitely use it again for more serious styling rather than for everyday use, but the product does exactly what it says and is truly 2-in-1.

Densifique Density Activator from Kerastase Paris, RRP $150.00 for a one month pack
The Densifique Density Activator is an serum you have to apply daily for three months which is "designed to significantly improve hair density and to reveal up to 1700 new hairs in 3 months." Being a guy, I am always thinking about when I'm going to lose my hair so I was interested to try this. I used it for one month and my hair definitely became thicker, and it changed the texture of my hair which I really liked. I'd even say my hair grew faster. While I didn't notice any change in terms of my hair line or anything like that, I would still recommend this product because of the way it makes your hair look and feel.

Schwarzkopf 6 Miracles Oil Essence, RRP: $10.99
The 6 'Miracles' this new oil claims to be able to deliver are heat protection with blow-drying; Deep nourishment for total repair; Reduction of split ends for healthier hair; Softening and conditioning properties with weightless touch; Perfect control of frizzy hair and fly-always; Silky suppleness and brilliant shine.
But, this certainly isn't a "miracle" oil. It's good, but it definitely isn't mind-blowing. I've been dying my hair every 4 weeks for years now and I blow dry it after washing, so my hair is quite dry. You only need one or two pumps of this oil to work it through the ends of towel-dried hair. It's hydrating without being too oily and heavy and it's smooth and shiny. I also like that it contains heat protecting ingredients. But this oil certainly didn't work miracles. I normally use Moroccan Oil and found the results quite similar. It's cheaper, so I'd buy this again. But It's nothing to sing from the rooftops about.

Picture: Two die hard One Direction fans showed their loyal support of the X Factor finalists by waiting 16 hours in the freezing cold temperatures for...
Die Hard director John McTiernan has spoken out for the first time since he was ordered to spend a year in prison for lying to federal authorities - branding the sentence unfair and vowing to fight back in his appeal.
The moviemaker pleaded guilty to two counts of making false statements to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officers who were probing jailed Hollywood private detective Anthony Pellicano.
MCTiernan admitted hiring Pellicano to illegally record movie producer Charles Roven's phone conversations and lying to authorities about it, and a judge sentenced him to a year behind bars on Monday (04Oct10).
The director is free on bail as he appeals the sentence and in his first interview since the ruling, he insists he is not scared of jail but he's adamant he does not deserve the harsh punishment.
He tells the Hollywood Reporter, "We're already filing the papers. I've already paid the appeals lawyer. I didn't start this (appeal) because I was afraid to go to jail. It would have been much easier to go to jail. And less expensive. And some of the minimum-security prison camps are not bad, and there are actually interesting people there. And I have managed to live my life not being too afraid of new experiences, including going off to a federal prison for four months. That isn't why I started this fight. I started because these people have less respect for the law than they accuse me of having."
And MCTiernan is convinced the case has had a devastating effect on his Hollywood career.
He adds, "I had worked for two years on one (movie), and then all of this came up just as we were about to start it... This has destroyed three other films. Just on the insurance issue. For insurance on a movie, they need you to be able to guarantee 18 months."

JAKE BUGG is something of an oddity – a teenage lad with his soul lodged
firmly in the past.
Having grown up hungrily filling his ears with the songs of bygone greats, the
Nottingham-born singer-songwriter has crafted a modern spin on Fifties and
Sixties rock 'n' roll.
Several other ingredients are thrown into the mix on his eponymous debut album
— including nods to indie, folk and country.
Jake, 18, credits The Simpsons with igniting his passion for music after
watching an episode featuring Don McLean's Vincent.
He was instantly hooked on the song and, at the tender age of 12, set off on a
voyage of musical discovery — with a little help from YouTube.
Several spells in the aural company of legends such as Buddy Holly and Jimi
Hendrix later, Jake picked up a guitar, mastered it and never looked back.
Six years on, he's penned a 14-track collection of astounding maturity that
defies his young age and justifies the hype.
Here, Jake tells SFTW about his journey from a Nottingham council estate to
the London offices of Mercury Records and the life experiences that have
shaped his work.
WHY are you not wearing a baseball cap at a sideways slant and shuffling
pop hits on your iPod like most of your peers?
Because it mostly sounds like cr*p, to be honest. I just like a lot of the old
stuff. That's not to say some of the contemporary stuff that's in the charts
ain't good as well. If it's got a good tune then bang on. But a lot of it
doesn't sound good to me.
It's like you've time-travelled from a different era. Have you always been
someone to buck trends?
I think so. It's good to try to be different. I've always gone away and done
my own thing.
The production on the album has a very old-fashioned quality, especially on
songs like Trouble Town and Lightning Bolt. Was that vintage sound always
part of the plan?
It was recorded as a demo. I wanted to go back in to the studio and perfect
it. But the label were like, "This demo sounds great so let's put it out
like this." I trusted the label and I was really happy with it in the end.
Who are the musical influences you grew up listening to and how were you
introduced to them?
The first person was Don McLean, who I'd heard on an episode of The Simpsons.
It was the first song I actually liked because before I was 12 I didn't
really have any interest in music.
I started listening to people who influenced him, like Buddy Holly and bands
like The Weavers. Bands like Oasis, Arctic Monkeys and Stone Roses are also
great. YouTube is a good way to discover new music now because it comes up
with that thing at the side with other artists you might like.
When did you first start playing the guitar and how long was it before you
decided on a career in music?
I was about 12 when I first picked up a guitar. My uncle showed me the basic
chords and I took it from there. I started listening to guitarists like Jimi
Hendrix and Robert Johnson.
I started writing when I was about 14 and then I decided that's what I wanted
to do. The first gig I ever did was a school concert. No one said a bad word
and it was a really big incentive for me to keep going.
Are there any songs on the album that date back to when you were 14?
There are a couple from when I was about 15 or 16. Someplace, Country Song and
Someone Told Me are all older ones. The singles on there were all written
last year or early this year. I recorded Fire on my iPhone.
How did you make the move from strumming at home to becoming Mercury's new
star signing?
I was gigging around Nottingham from the age of 16. I met a guy who I did some
demos with. He had looked after a few bands successfully. He took me on then
suggested it to someone at Mercury. We were on the first train up and they
just offered me a deal and said: "Go away and do what you do."
There's a real longing and sadness in some of your lyrics. Have you drawn
on your own life experiences?
Some of them, yeah. Seen It All is true and Two Fingers is about growing up.
Then there's the more melancholy ones like Someone Told Me and Country Song.
As a songwriter, it's good to write about what you see but it's also nice to
use your imagination a bit.

Giga Wing 2
Review by Ghostlight
"Misunderstood quality shooter."
This game made an impression on me for mainly the reason that I got it, played it for ten minutes, then read the Gamefaqs reviews on it.
The strangest thing was, after ten minutes of play I got the distinct impression that the three people who ranked it low hadn't even bothered to explore the game nor let it impress them, instead they played through, abused the free continues and then threw it away complaining.
One complains the bullets were randomly strewn across and impossible to dodge without abusing the the Deflector Force, although the number of bullets being strewn across the screen is an incredible amount compared to most shooters, after some practice and a little attention I found the majority of them laughably easy to dodge even on the default difficulty let alone the easiest - Finding myself using the Deflector only two or three times in a level and always in the same place.
The planes do move at a different pace to each other, and it's actually quite obvious they do - However, on a whole they move slower than most other games. I've always played as the slower planes on most games so I wasn't terribly handicapped by this - People coming in from playing Judge Spear on Raiden Fighters however would be at a severe disadvantage, being used to using a lot more speed to dodge bullets.
Another complaint was that bullets passed through the plane at random - I noticed this only after reading the review, then wondered why it was. That was when I noticed the planes can barrel roll through bullets. It's not some 'poor programming' as NickEvil puts it, but an actual evasion move you can perform.
The gameplay is possibly hard to get into, as the range of reviews reflect - Some will, some won't. I found it hard to begin with but with a little patience I've grown to love this game, I've yet to complete it however since I have a habit of never continuing in a shooting game, the unlimited continues don't tempt me to 'cheap' my way through this experience.
The levels are absolutely gorgeous, boasting perfect dramatic music to suit their romantic industrialism setting - Although, unless you learn the levels well you'll be facing near instant death in a few places.
Although the engine does bog down, it tends to do it mostly when you are pulling off a Forcebomb after a Deflector or when you are Deflecting a large amount of bullets - I've seen it bog down a few times when large amounts of bullets are coming my way but it didn't really affect much except perhaps increase my chances of dodging the bullets.
I've come to expect engine bogs from 3d shooting games, so I didn't mind too much when it did, it's not something that I found seriously detracted from my enjoyment.
More of a relaxation time during a level.
I can't comment on the story, having only a Japanese copy and no knowledge of the language, however I didn't mind the anime stills, although I would have rather no storyline and an extra plane... Although, as CMoon pointed out, the storyline is completely skippable with the B button, and you can skip to the next 'frame' with the A button. It makes me wonder whether NickEvil even tried pushing buttons before complaining about not being able to skip the sequences.
All in all, I'd definitely recommend buying this game to complete a shooting collection, but wouldn't recommend it to the person that doesn't want to put some love into it. I feel that the low reviews on Gamefaqs reflect how different this game will be for different people and can quite clearly see that it isn't for everyone.
My only true complaint is that of the default ships, only Cherries gives you a proper spread of fire, with Ralugo proving to be very difficult to play because of his limited firing range.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

The cuts in Gov. Tom Corbett's recently passed $27.3 billion state budget were not as steep as initially feared, but many Jewish agencies say the reductions will still hamper their ability to serve vulnerable populations.
"This is the most severe budget we've seen in a long time," said Hank Butler, executive director of the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition, which lobbies on behalf of Jewish groups in the state. "There is an expectation and a hope that the economy will improve and we will not be talking about cuts of this magnitude for awhile."
Overall, the Pennsylvania state budget is down 3 percent from last year's $28 billion. Some areas, like higher education, received huge cuts -- about 20 percent or roughly $200 million. Others, like the Department of Public Welfare, which funds medical care for the poor and other social services, were cut by .5 percent, bringing the total allocations in these areas to $10.6 billion.
There's a palpable fear among Jewish groups that next year, agencies like the Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Aging might be in line for the level of cuts imposed on education this time around, according to Brian Gralnick, director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia's Center for Social Responsibility.
Gralnick said the governor's sign-off on the budget typically provides agencies with clues --but not necessarily the final answers -- to how their own budgets will be affected.
Such is the case for the Jewish Relief Agency and Federation's Mitzvah Food Project, groups that receive indirect funding from the State Food Purchase Program in order to buy and distribute food to the needy.
After several years of flat funding -- and increased demand due to the recession -- roughly $500,000 was slashed from the State Food Purchase Program's budget, bringing the total allocation to about $17.3 million.
According to Amy Krulik, director of JRA, the agency -- which delivers monthly food packages to just under 3,000 people -- last year received $19,000 a month from the program. Its total monthly food expenses average about $34,000 dollars.
Krulik said she doesn't yet know how much the monthly stipend will decrease because those state dollars are passed through a local non-profit, the SHARE Food Program, which disburses the dollars to Philadelphia-area pantrys.
"The demand for that program has outpaced the ability of the program to cover all of the needs," Krulik said, referring to the state food initiative. "Other safety-net service programs also received the ax. That is only going to put further pressure on people."
For its part, JEVS Human Services, an agency that relies heavily on government funding from all streams, had feared the impact of a proposal to slash $27 million in statewide funding for group homes. JEVS operates 32 group homes throughout the region for adults with intellectual disabilities and chronic mental illness.
"On balance, the cuts were not as bad as we thought they were going to be," Kristin Rantanen, JEVS' vice president for communications and public affairs, said, referring to the $5 million in final cuts for group homes, as well as other programs that will be affected.
At the same time, she said, cuts not directly related to JEVS programming -- such as a $44 million reduction in cash assistance to low-income families -- will affect her group's clients. Through a broad range of programs, the agency, formerly known as the Jewish Employment and Vocational Services, works to increase the employability and independence of individuals.
"How much harder is it going to be for our welfare-to-work clients to meet the needs of their own family?" she asked.
At least one program of Jewish concern got a boost in this year's budget. Total funding for the Education Improvement Tax Credit increased from $60 to $75 million -- the level it had been several years ago before the onset of the recession.
Among other provisions, the program allows businesses to receive state tax credits for giving to scholarship funds for private schools, including Jewish day schools.
A provision to raise the total EITC funding to $100 million is contained in a separate school voucher bill, which is still being debated in the state Legislature.
Howie Beigelman, the deputy director of public policy for the Orthodox Union who helped lobby to increase EITC funding, said he was "thrilled" that the program was actually bolstered by this year's budget.
That's in part because the family income requirement for students to be eligible for scholarships was raised, meaning more families are now eligible.
"Jewish day schools and Jewish families depend on the EITC," he said. "Fully funding it for the first time in years is a testament to Gov. Corbett and the Legislature's commitment to education and to our community."

" Brand: L'Oréal / Type: Lip Colour / Suitable for: Lip "
~~~~~~ L'Oreal Perfection Rouge Pulp ~~~~~~
I have two of these liquid lipcolours, shade 57 Moulin Rouge and shade 61 Extreme and though I don't use them all that often, I am glad to have them. Especially as I got them (a few years ago now) from my local Ethel Austin at the reduced price of just £1.50 each!
~~~ First Impressions ~~~
These come in a regular 5.5ml plastic tube with a screw on lid, to which the sponge applicator is attached. The tubes are coloured plastic, corresponding to the colour of the gloss. The tubes are quite a feminine shape I think, tapering in at the middle. They are also very plain and classy looking, having only gold accents and the product name on.
There is no 'use by' info on my tubes and as I said I did buy them some time ago. They are still fine though and I have no reason to think they are ready for the bin. If in doubt though, just chuck it out! What might be fine for me might not be for you, and as I don't wear make up daily these don't get exposed to the bacteria-laden air too much!
Moulin Rouge is a deep but vibrant berry red colour, and the outer tube matches this quite well; Extreme however, has a bright vivid purple outer tube but is in fact a browny-tinged with irridescent purple colour. Sounds strange, but it's hard to describe! The outer tube of this one does not match the actual colour very well at all.
They have a slight smell, which I can best describe as creamy-sweet. To me, it is a generic lipstick type of smell. I barely notice it on application and it doesn't stick around so nothing to offend I reckon. When you open the tube, you can see the lipcolour glistening and shimmering on the sponge, which bodes well since this claims to be a 'high shine' lip colour.
~~~ Using & results ~~~
My opinion actually differs between the 2 shades I own, so I'll take each in turn.
---- Applying it ----
Applying Moulin Rouge is a dream - it is thick and creamy and goes on evenly so one application leaves a nice, solid and non streaky colour. I can apply it to my whole mouth without having to refresh the applicator. Of course, you can have a thicker, more intense colour if you apply more, but I find one application leaves a brilliant shiny colour and you don't need more. Occasionally I will add a little extra in the middle of my lower lip, and doing so does not 'move' the colour already there around, resulting in streaks. It is completely non sticky and comfortable on my lips, straight from application and has no real taste to speak of. Major bonus!
Although Extreme is creamy n texture as well, I do find it to be a lot streakier and the colour less solid. When applying it I can clearly see the brush marks from the sponge, and the only way I can get rid of them is to apply a thicker layer. It's still non sticky and relatively comfortable, just not as much as Moulin Rouge. It also has more taste, and not a particularly pleasant one. For these reasons I would say Extreme is not as easy to apply or quite as nice to wear.
Neither of the shades has any real taste to complain or rave about.
---- Wearing it ----
Although both shades do transfer easily to glasses when drinking, the colour that stays on the lips is still strong, even and shiny. Since I have these in less than subtle colours, I do feel the need to reapply more often than the barely there colours I generally favour for my lips, as any fading is far more apparent. On a night out I would reapply this more often than every couple of hours. In fact, to keep it looking perfect I would usually dab a little more on each time I went to the loo (until of course I reached the point of inebriation where the state of my make up is of no consequence. Not that I do this any more, responsible adult that I am). I should say though that full application is not needed every time as this does have a tendency to stain, which is also noticeable when it comes time to remove it.
Overall, the colour does last pretty well, but you may find the stronger colours need more frequent reapplication to stay looking as striking and shiny. This doesn't put me up nor down though as I find all lip colour I have used to need reapplication, despite what they promise (though I don't pay silly money for makeup as I don't wear it daily, so maybe there are some out there that truly deliver!) This lip colour also lasts well in terms of quantity, as I rarely need more than one dip in the tube to do my lips.
---- Removing it ----
This wipes off easily enough with a facial wipe, but as mentioned, this does stain my lips a little, particularly around my lower lip line and in the creases where it leaves a slight colour behind. This is most apparent with Moulin Rouge. However, by the time I have my morning shower and do my usual skin care routine it is gone.
~~~ Recommend? ~~~
Yes and no. I would recommend Moulin Rouge without hesitation; it's a gorgeous, striking and even colour that applies easily and smoothly. I would not recommend Extreme, as despite it being a nice enough colour, it is not as good as Moulin Rouge and doesn't apply or wear quite as well. I would also say to have a look at the tester if possible, as the outer tube may not be particularly representative of what's inside. I am delighted with what I paid for mine, as even though I only love one of them, it was only £1.50!
3 stars for this since I think I have been lucky to pick up a good one and perhaps many more shades in the range are more akin to Extreme than Moulin Rouge; there seems to be a generally low rating on here and on Ciao, which indicates to me that I have been lucky. If both of my shades had performed equally well then my rating would be higher!
I first saw the advert for this when I was on holiday in France in 1995 or 96. This product caught my eye because the model wearing it was wearing the bright red shade and it had and intensity and shine that I haven't seen in any other lip colours at the time.
I think I was only about 13 at the time. I'd rushed to the shop and spent all my allowance on one of these. I think I got it for about 6 quid at the time. The first shade I got was a nude/beige shade. It looked gorgeous on and I was so pleased with my purchase, I wore it every weekend. (I couldn't wear it in the week as school was very strict and wouldn't let me LOL) The colour was very intense and glossy. It didn't have any pearl or frost in it, just a wonderful plastic looking sheen effect.
I then got another one of these rouge pulp lip colours with more of my saved up allowance. This time it was a cute, bubblegum pink with a frosty finish. I loved this one so much! It looked amazing on its own and over darker pink lipsticks. All my friends wanted to know what I was wearing as they hadn't seen anything like it.
Then, years later (in 2001 I think) I came across some rouge pulp shades in boots. I was actually very surprised that they were selling these as I believed they were discontinued years ago.
To my disappointment, the newer version is nothing like the ones I remembered and used to love so I ended up giving them away. They were dull looking and not shiny and exiting as I remembered. I don't think my memory is that bad and from the pictures I had of the old versions, they do look dramatically different.
Oh rouge pulp, you're nothing but a fond memory of my favourite first lippies. RIP.
I don't wear lipgloss very often because I don't like the feel of it, but when I saw the advert for this product it looked so much better than the others that I thought I would give it a try. Not totally convinced, I managed to get a sampler in a gift pack when I bought another L'Oreal product. Having tried it, i was right not to buy a full-sized one. I opened the tube and pulled out the wand. It was the usual sponge applicator on the end. I slicked it onto my lips. Yuck!!! It was just like the rest, wet, slippery and horrible. What's more, it tasted pretty unpleasant too. It looked pretty wet and shiney, which is all well and good if you just want to go around all day doing nothing, but try and eat or drink and your in trouble. Horrible slime marks on your coffee cup - just what many women have been trying to get away from all these years. This is just a very over-priced lipgloss. If you do like lipgloss there are plenty of better ones at half the price.
Ussually this is a bit expensive for the type of make-up I buy. But when this first came out I snapped it up straight away. The colour are great, the consistentsy is perfect. The staying power isn't brilliant but its a lipgloss no-one expects it to stay. If not eating or drinking It stays there for hours as flawless as when you first put it on. The only flaw this lipgloss really has is the packaging. You can not take this lipgloss anywhere, I've had 2 or 3 tubes of this stuff and within a week each one started to leak all over my make up bag. The packaging is the real thing that lets this product down. But if you're looking for a good lipgloss and your not planning on eating, drinking or generally having fun for the night this lipgloss is for you. Clare

2013 Scion FR-S road test: Lots of fun and reasonably priced
As I mentioned to a friend in the automobile business, it's highly unlikely they had this gray-haired man in mind as Toyota and Subaru developed the 2013 Scion FR-S sports car and the nearly identical Subaru BRZ.
These well balanced, rear-wheel-drive coupes practically shout YOUNG! MALE! ENTHUSIAST!
But, that is not to say that this gray-haired man did not find the brand-new FR-S appealing. Quite the contrary. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the car, one which I suspect will also appeal to anyone ( male or female, old or young) who still think of driving as a pleasure.
At first, I'll admit I found the suspension to be a bit jarring, the cabin to be a bit noisy and the space to be a bit confining. But all of that disappeared quickly.
All that was required was for me to reach deep into my psyche and bring back to life that long-ago young car nut, the guy who sped through his 20s behind the wheel of yesteryear's counterparts to the freshly-minted FR-S — a 1959 Triumph TR-3 and a 1963 MGB.
The quick steering; the right-now brakes; the manual transmission — they all reminded me of the most exciting motoring adventures of my life. But, recalling those relics also reminded me of just how much the steering, the brakes, the transmissions, the suspensions and everything else have improved over the years.
Yes, I did miss the special enjoyment offered by top-down motoring, but at least the gray hair did not have to endure the ravages of sun and wind. And, frankly, long-distance driving is much more relaxing in a car with a hard top.
So, let's find out what the 2013 Scion FR-S is all about.
First and foremost, it is a collaboration of Japanese manufacturers Toyota and Subaru. Which company contributed exactly what is a bit murky, but we do know for sure that the power is supplied by Subaru's 2-liter, four-cylinder, horizontally opposed (boxer) engine enhanced with Toyota's unique direct fuel injection system.
We also know that the FR-S design was inspired by the the Toyota 2000GT, a sports car sold in the late 1960s and coveted today by serious collectors who are willing to pay upwards of $500,000 to obtain one.
To avoid confusion, it should also be noted that Toyota is marketing the FR-S as the halo car for its youth-oriented Scion division. Elsewhere in the world, the coupe will be sold as a Toyota.
But, back to the engine . . .
The powerplant produces 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 pound-feet of torque between 6,400 and 6,600 rpm. That's enough to propel the 2,758-pound Scion from a stop to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds.
A glance at the numbers is enough to show that the coupe is not particularly fast by sports-car standards and that a driver needs to keep the engine spinning toward the 7,500 rpm red line to extract maximum power.

ST. PETERSBURG — Gov. Charlie Crist traversed Pinellas County on Monday, reassuring hoteliers, government leaders and boat captains that he would help them keep the Tampa Bay area's tourism economy strong.
Proclaiming Florida's seafood "oil-free," Crist dug into a $14.99 shrimp platter, hold the baked potato, at Leverock's Seafood House in southern St. Petersburg before a gaggle of TV cameras, potential voters and local politicians.
"Fresh Florida seafood," Crist said, reaching for a napkin to dab his mouth. "You can't beat it."
With the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatening Florida's beaches and, subsequently, the livelihoods of area business owners who depend on pristine shores, Crist arrived in his hometown county with an arsenal of firm handshakes, sympathetic looks and encouraging words designed to ease local fears.
At a meeting with roughly two dozen fishermen at Latitudes Restaurant in Madeira Beach, Crist patted charter boat captain Travis Palladeno on the arm as Palladeno shared his frustrations over the expanded fishing ban in the gulf.
"We just want to fish," Palladeno said.
Crist, dressed casually in athletic shoes and a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission shirt, pledged that someone would review the boundaries of the fishing ban to ensure they were warranted.
"I don't know how to plug a hole," Crist said. "But we can all work together to make sure the people are made whole."
It was phrase he echoed later in the day when he addressed a roomful of state elected officials, local mayors, hotel owners and restaurateurs during a roundtable discussion at the TradeWinds Island Grand resort in St. Pete Beach.
They complained of canceled room reservations, anxious tenants, hesitant customers and the growing perception that every Florida beach is awash in oil sludge.
Patricia Hubbard, owner of the Friendly Fisherman restaurant in Madeira Beach, bemoaned a 32 percent drop in sales this past weekend compared to the same time last year. She predicted that her business, family-run for four generations, might not survive the oil spill.
"We were making it, we were surviving, but we were surviving on a wing of prayer," she said. "And BP has clipped our wings."
Crist said he was committed to holding a special session to consider a constitutional ban on oil drilling in Florida waters. He said a session could occur as early as July.
"It is now abundantly clear what we do not need to do, and that's continuing poking holes in the bottom of that gulf, because we don't know how to handle it," Crist said.
Rep. Ron Saunders, the Key West Democrat who is set to be the next minority leader, was with the governor and said the holdup is incoming House Speaker Dean Cannon, who had previously pushed for drilling off Florida's shores. "People don't want to have to flip-flop on their previous vote," Saunders said.
Cannon and other House leaders have said a constitutional ban is not needed. Florida law already bans drilling in Florida waters.
But that's not good enough, Crist said.
"I grew up here, right here," Crist told the crowd at the TradeWinds. "And I love this beach as much as you do."

I have read many times that the number one complaint filed with the Florida Bar concerns attorneys not returning the phone calls of their clients. I assume if this is the number one complaint filed with the Bar, it means that it happens a lot and it happens with lawyers in all kinds of firms, large and small. Being an attorney myself, I felt I might be in a position to take a close look at this phenomenon and offer some advice to clients who find themselves in the frustrating position of needing to speak with their attorney and not being able to contact them for whatever reason. To do this properly, I must first differentiate the attorney who is busy and cannot return phone calls, from the attorney who is negligent and doesn't return phone calls but could.
An attorney's day can take many forms. It can be an office day, a court day, a deposition day, a mediation day, a combination of these days all in one, or about one hundred other variations on this theme. Being an attorney requires that one be able to multi-task and work a calendar with precision to ensure everything is getting done and is coordinated with the many other parties who are involved in each part of the process of managing the legal affairs of others. I don't know many attorneys who work less than 10 hours a day. Most carry PDAs (electronic calendar and email gadgets) and work on the road in between appointments and on weekends.
That being said, it is possible to return phone calls in a reasonable time. Admittedly, there is such a thing as over-scheduling an attorney's day and there is also such a thing as an attorney taking on more work than he or she can handle. Attorneys are human after all, and not all of them are the most efficient time managers.
So what is a "reasonable" time within which a client should expect a return phone call from his or her attorney? The short answer is, "It depends," because a reasonable time is different depending on what the attorney has on the agenda, i.e., if an attorney is in trial or preparing for a trial, in heavy discovery on a case, on vacation, or just working on her or his typical caseload at the office.
If an attorney is in trial, a client should expect that the attorney will return calls a day or two after the trial has concluded. Trials take up all of an attorney's and her or his staff's time. There are so many details and items of evidence and issues that must be managed and resolved before, during, and immediately after the trial, it's nearly impossible to manage anything else without damaging the case at hand; however, if it is a trial lasting longer than three or four days, or if the call is a true emergency, the client should expect that the attorney can return a quick phone call, send a short email to the client, or have a staff person call and act as intermediary between the client and attorney. If the client has one of these true emergencies, the attorney should be able to have a representative (another attorney or staff person) step in and handle the issue as best they can until the attorney is free to take over.
If an attorney is not in trial or other complicated preparation phase of a case, a client should be able to expect a return phone call within 48 hours of leaving a message. This is a general rule of thumb, and my personal opinion, not a formal rule of which I am aware. At Cowden Law, our rule is to return phone calls the same day, even if they occur in the evening or on weekends. If the attorney at Cowden Law is unable to return the phone call the same day, a staff member will return the call and do his or her best to take care of the client and coordinate with the attorney as needed and possible.
Some firms have a policy of screening all calls through staff to ensure the attorney is left alone to handle all the cases they have, without the interruptions caused by client phone calls. I have heard that a lot of clients don't like this policy because they want to speak directly with their attorneys when they have questions or problems. The firms who have these policies generally institute them because they work with a lot of contingency fee or fixed fee cases, and those clients tend to call much more frequently with non-critical issues than hourly fee clients do. For my explanation as to this phenomenon, check out my earlier article on this web site "The Difference Between Fees and Costs."
Of course, there are always bad apples out there, and the law field is no exception. There are lawyers who neglect their clients and their cases and who have no good reason for not returning phone calls in a reasonable time. I read about these attorneys in my Bar Journal newspaper, where they list all the attorneys who have been disciplined by the Florida Bar for not adequately managing their client's cases or their clients themselves.
Whether you are the client of a very busy attorney or an attorney who is being negligent, I can offer you some advice for getting return phone calls in a reasonable amount of time. The first step is to realize that your attorney may be involved in one of the situations that I mentioned earlier that makes it impossible for her or him to return your phone call in the same day. Feel free to ask the staff member who answers the phone if the attorney is in trial or in some other involved process that precludes the attorney from handling your issue. You may want to consider leaving a type of deadline for the attorney to call you back in a non-emergency situation, wording it for example as,
"This is [insert your name]. I'm calling you because [insert your reason]. This is not an emergency, so if you are busy, I won't expect a call back until [insert a day and date 4 days from today]. If you are not busy, of course I'd appreciate a call back as soon as possible. Thanks very much."
If you feel your situation is more urgent, a message might sound something more like,
"This is [insert your name]. I'm calling you because I have a very urgent situation that needs your immediate attention. It is [insert your reason]. This is what I consider an emergency situation, so I would appreciate a call back from either you or a staff person by [insert what you consider a reasonable time]. Thanks very much for your understanding. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you." [Note: This suggested phraseology is a nod to my personal credo: "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar". The apology shows you respect your attorney's and the staff's time.]
The key to using the "emergency situation call" is to never use it unless it's absolutely necessary. If a client calls with them all the time, he is going to be just like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, and will suffer the same consequences as the boy in that fable. It's only human nature to treat a person with the same respect that person has given others. Calling with frequent false emergencies is a sign to some attorneys that the client does not respect his or the staff's time. It will also have some bearing on what the "reasonable time" is within which a call must be returned to this client; the more a client Cries Wolf, the more an attorney feels he is justified in returning that client's calls within a longer period of time. While it may not be fair in the client's mind, it is human nature to react this way.
A last resort, for the client who has used the above techniques to no avail, is to send a letter. To make it have the most force, sending it via registered mail is certain to get the attorney's attention. Again, I must emphasize that this is a last resort method, and should only be used once. If it doesn't work, it's probably time to find a new lawyer who has more time or interest in handling your case. At Cowden Law, we have inherited many cases from attorneys who didn't return phone calls of their clients. We emphasize what we call "VIP Service" with our clients, and it's appealing to our clients that we focus so much of our attention on timely and convenient communications with them. Talk to your lawyer before you hire her or him to find out what their policies are with regard to client communications. Do they use email? If they do, you might have found an easier avenue to use to contact them. Do they use instant messaging? If you both do, and your attorney is comfortable with this platform, you have another means to use for communication. Just remember, you want to also talk to your attorney about maintaining confidentiality in your case, because not all of these avenues of communication may be appropriate for your situation.
The key to effective and timely communications between attorney and client is to have a dialog about the issue at the beginning of the relationship. Attorneys should set expectations for their clients in their first meeting together so the client knows what to expect. Clients need to be aware of and understanding of the attorney's responsibilities to all of their clients and firm itself, so they don't have unrealistic expectations of what an attorney can and can't do to communicate with them. Lastly, if clients find they are unhappy with how promptly their attorney is returning calls, they should take the bull by the horns and deal with it. Use the techniques outlined in this article, and as a last resort, send the registered letter mentioned. Sometimes, finding a new lawyer is the only option left, but it can turn out to be a very good option for many who find their new lawyer is a good communicator.

Lufkin game to be part of Great American Rivalry Series
Hayden Henry
Aug. 28, 2013 at 4:29 p.m.
Longview athletic director/head coach John King announced Wednesday that the Lobos' Sept. 20 meeting with rival Lufkin will be a part of the Great American Rivalry Series, one of 80 premiere rivalries across the nation.
Presented by iHigh, the game will feature offensive and defensive MVPs as well as a trophy for the winning team. The senior with the highest GPA on each team will receive a scholarship, and a player or coach from each team, past or present, will be inducted into the Great American Rivalry Series Hall of Fame.
"I think it's great for both programs to be a part of the series," King said. "We were in it in 2009 against Marshall and they do a great job, it's first class.
"The scholarship, the trophies and the opportunity to induct a player into the Hall of Fame are all great for our program. It was a great game in 2009 and it's great to be part of that series again – the kids loved it and if it benefits student-athletes, we're going to do it."
The game is also Longview's homecoming.

Montgomery Standard, Montgomery County, Missouri, 15 July 1948 Mrs. Joseph Tomek Jr Dies at 54 Years. Alice Jeanette Bishop Tomek, only daughter of the late Addison and Fannie Covington Bishop, was born September 11th, 1913, and departed this life on Thursday, July 8th, 1948, at the age of 34 years, 9 months and 20 days. Alice grew to young womanhood in Montgomery City, and on January 29th, 1933, was united in marriage to Joseph Tomek, of Hawk Point, where she resided at the time of her death. To this union were born 3 children: Joseph Addison, who died in infancy; Loretta Faye, age 11, and Glen Dale, age 6 months. At an early age Alice united with the Methodist Church and lived a true Christian life. She leaves to mourn her death her devoted husband, Joseph; the two children: Loretta Faye and Glen Dale; a half sister, Mrs. Delmont Lichtenberg, of Marthasville; a stepmother, Mrs. Addison Bishop, of New Florence, her mother-in-law; two sisters-in-law; 3 brothers-in-law; her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Covington, who reared her from infancy; devoted aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends. She was a loving mother and wife. This seemed to be her motto in life: "Then let me now relieve some pain. Remove some barrier from the road. Or lighten some one's heavy load. Then turn some other to befriend." Funeral services were conducted from the Christian Church of Hawk Point on Sunday, July 11th, 1948, at 2:00 o'clock P.M. She was laid to rest by the side of her infant son in the Hawk Point Cemetery.

A fight against plans for 125 houses and a care home at Marden Farm in Calne lasting more than a year has ended in frustration after the development was given the go-ahead on appeal.
The application by developer Gleeson was rejected by Wiltshire Council last August and was the subject of a two-day hearing in February.
People in south Calne were left to defend themselves at the appeal after Wiltshire planning officers received a letter criticising parts of the council's core strategy and pulled out.
It said the council should allocate provision for 42,000 houses across the county within five years – 5,000 more than planned.
The plan includes a 75-bed dementia care home, a ten-bed palliative care unit with parking and 125 homes, associated parking, gardens, amenity space and public open space, community orchard and allotments.
Residents raised concerns about access to the site, saying it would create a dangerous point in the road, as well as air quality issues.
But planning inspector John Braithwaite said the requirement for homes in Wiltshire could not be ignored as the council could not demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
In his ruling issued today, he said: "All relevant matters mentioned by all parties have been taken into account but do not, either individually or collectively, alter a conclusion that the proposed development would not cause any significant harm.
"In particular the development would not adversely affect highway safety on Stockley Lane. The neighbourhood plan has not even reached draft stage."
Calne Town Council clerk Linda Roberts said: "We did everything we could, but we're vulnerable until we get the neighbourhood plan done and even then who knows? You would think the powers that be would take into account the fact that the town is working on one, at least give us a chance."
Derek Warnett, Calne town councillor and vice chairman of the South Calne Residents' Association, said the decision undermined localism.
He said: "The decision basically says it doesn't affect anyone or anything. For people reading that whose houses will now be overlooked by a massive care home there is no consolation at all.
"This junction is an unsafe junction, we live here and we see it all the time. Highways officers who don't live here don't experience the screech of the brakes and the cars coming round the corner at 50 miles per hour."

Wagoner also noted that the iPad initiative has helped erase the disparity between the technology students and teachers use at home and what they use in the learning environment. In the CDW-G 2011 21 st -Century Classroom Report, CDW-G reported that 94 percent of high school students already use technology to study or work on homework assignments and the same high percentage believe that technology skills will improve both their educational and career opportunities. School districts like Waverly Shell Rock are recognizing the value of ensuring that these tech-savvy students have access to the same tools in the classroom that they do at home."K-12 districts understand the significant impact that mobile devices and instant access to learning resources and applications can have on their teachers, classrooms and most of all, students," said Gerard Festa, director of vertical solutions, Aruba Networks.
