Family Law
Ask a Family Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Clare
We have lived together for 8 ears in total but were renting a different property before moving into this property in February 2014.
Our daughter is 22 months old.
The house was bought for £178,000 in February this year with a 20% deposit so this is around £150,000 remaining on the mortgage.
There are no other assets. I earn £20,000 a year, part-time and my husband earns a basic of £35,000 but also earns commission taking him up to about £45,000+ a year.
The house is solely in his name as we could get a larger mortgage with just his earnings.
The deposit came as a gift from my parents.
It would cost about the same if not more as we got the property for quite cheap. The average cost of a 2 bedroom in £200,000
Hi, I do not think I would be able to afford the mortgage repayments as well as the insurances and bills.
No I don't think so as I only clear around £1000pcm and the mortgage alone is £870pcm.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – A series of brush fires sparked along the CSX track from the east side to Black Rock in Buffalo, Thursday afternoon.
Flames broke out miles apart from one another, but the cause of the fires remain a mystery.
Firefighters tackled blazes near Delaware and Linden Avenues, on Northland Avenue just east of Fillmore Avenue, and at a third scene off Hertel Avenue, between Military Road and Elmwood Avenue.
Fire officials suspect sparks from a passing train might have ignited the dry vegetation next to the tracks, or some piece of equipment might have malfunctioned, but CSX officials don't believe any of the trains passing down this particular corridor could be to blame.
The cause of the fires remains under investigation.

We are Incomplete'
Carter Boyd | Tuesday, March 5, 2013
I had the opportunity to go on the February Freshmen Retreat. At the onset of the first wave of tests for this semester, I was reluctant about taking 24 hours out of my weekend to attend a retreat with about fifty other fellow freshmen.
The theme of the retreat was "We are Incomplete." The retreat came at just the right time for me and served as a great reminder that it is in God's design for us that here on earth we are incomplete, desperately yearning for something greater than this world has to offer. Either consciously or subconsciously, we realize that we are incomplete in nature; we look to the world around us to fill ourselves, to complete us, to fill the void in our hearts, souls and minds. It would not be a problem if this desire for completeness was only transitory or fleeting, but our masterful creator in heaven designed us with a desire for Him. God designed us with a desire for Him, an eternal and magnificent being, where we remain restless, apprehensive and uneasy without His fulfillment.
Unfortunately, throughout the world and especially in America, we turn to the temptations of the world to satisfy our desire for our missing half. We turn to violence, to drugs, to alcohol, to sex, to food, to money, to excessiveness, to shopping, to coffee, to popularity, to fame, to gossip, to knowledge, to videogames, attempting to fill ourselves. The problem that we realize is that what we are using to complete our voids is insufficient, so we move on to the next thing in a never ending cycle. Some people, however, have grown tired of the search for security and happiness in worldly things and they have put their trust, their faith and their unconditional love in the God who created them. I find it amazing, brilliant and intriguing that God has instilled a desire in us for Him at our deepest core. In our pursuits, while falling to the temptations of the world, we are simply looking for Him, for His peace and grace to fill our hearts and for the great refuge we can enjoy in His presence.
On any given day at Notre Dame, we can see God's enduring love. The Grotto burns 24/7 and is open for anyone to say a prayer, the rosary or just stand in awe of the beauty. Christ is present in the Eucharist in classrooms and dorms. Many flock to the Grotto or a chapel to find that flicker of hope that they need to get through the day. Yes, the struggles we face seem overwhelming. We often start out thinking, "I have my day all planned" and then gradually our plans become just a memory. Everything is going great but then there is a pop quiz, a disagreement with a roommate, a phone that breaks, a stressful amount of work, a rejection from an internship, a rainy day, a breakup, a loved one who grows ill at home.
We go in to disarray over whatever it may be. Our spirits become deflated, our thoughts downtrodden. We are broken. We don't have control. Yet in these moments of loneliness, depression, anger, hurt or pain, we get a call from a friend, a smile from a stranger, a moment of sunshine, a class gets canceled or we get a job offer. Here we see that someone does have control. God has a plan, a purpose, a love for us. Why is it that we want to be the ones in charge and dictate to God when we need Him? Why is it so hard for us to remember that we cannot do it without God's guidance, love and wisdom? We need to accept that we are incomplete and surrender our lives to God so one day we can be complete in His love.
There are so many opportunities fr all of us in the Notre Dame family. In this time of lent, let us remember our charge for prayer, fasting and alms giving. As we pray during Lent, it is important to examine our consciences. Attending a penance service and going to confession is an important step in preparing ourselves as a steward in our faith. Being immersed in prayer leads us to fasting for our Lord. It is in fasting that we know that our mind is making a conscious decision of discipline to control our body. This is very important as we show our love, honor and respect for God. There are many opportunities for us to do good for others. We can help someone with their studies, talk with a discouraged roommate, encourage our friends in their everyday lives or volunteer. Giving back is vital in realizing that we are incomplete.
Filling our voids with positive acts will lead us to completeness with God. Isn't that what we are all striving for? During Lent, we are given the great reminder that on our own we are insufficient and that we are dependent on God for true happiness and joy in this world. Let our hearts turn to God to quench our persistent hunger for wholeness.

Now hiring: School consultant for unaccompanied immigrant students
A California school district is hiring an unaccompanied minors consultant to work with the unprecedented number of immigrant children arriving from Central America in the past year.
Oakland Unified School District posted a job opening this month for a "support services consultant" to help unaccompanied immigrant students find legal help, as well as counseling, health and educational services.
These students need extra assistance finding services because they don't have refugee status that would give them access to a social worker, food stamps or Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, said Carmelita Reyes, principal at Oakland International High School.
"In the same way there are school specialists who deal with foster youth or refugees, we need a specialist who tracks these kids," Reyes said.
San Francisco is also "exploring" a similar position to serve unaccompanied immigrant children, said Christina Wong, special assistant to the superintendent at San Francisco Unified School District.
Since last fall, as many as 50,000 unaccompanied children from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have come to the USA, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The number of unaccompanied minors represents a small fraction of the overall U.S. student population — about one-tenth of 1% of the 50.1 million public school students, according to 2013 Department of Education figures.
But in districts like Oakland, the effects can be felt more deeply, especially at certain schools where unaccompanied minor students are concentrated.
Oakland's school district, which has 37,000 K-12 students, enrolled 150 unaccompanied students since June 2013. Fifty are enrolled at Oakland International High School, representing one-eighth of the population at that school, said Nate Dunstan, a specialist with the school district's Refugee and Asylum Program.
The first step for the consultant would be to help unaccompanied immigrant students find legal help. A number of organizations in the Bay Area offer services for free or on a sliding scale, but oftentimes the students and their sponsors don't know about these services, Dunstan said.
"We found a lot of students with an older sibling that can barely take care of themselves, let alone a couple of younger siblings," Dunstan said.
In the meantime, school administrators and teachers have taken on this consulting role.
"We are trying to help, but honestly, that's not our job," Reyes said.
Oakland International High School is part of the International Network for Public Schools, 17 high schools in California, New York and Virginia that serve immigrant newcomers.
The organization's executive director, Claire Sylvan, said schools are a natural place to connect immigrant students with services in the broader community.
"Handing a kid a piece of paper may not result in them going somewhere," Sylvan said.
Oakland's school district aims to hire someone by mid-September. The consultant will have to first prioritize the students who will age out of the school system or face upcoming court dates.
The position, funded through foundation grants, is for one year, but many of the upcoming hearings are not scheduled until 2015, Dunstan said.
"It's hard to imagine, with the number of kids arriving now, that the need (for this position) will go away within one year," Dunstan said.

Training With The Pros: Orlando Scandrick
Travelle Gaines runs his own performance facility, Athletic Gaines, in Los Angeles. Athletic Gaines is one of the top NFL combine training programs in the country, and one of the most notable NFL offseason training programs as well. Gaines has worked with hundreds of athletes and celebrities including Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, rapper Sean Combs and TV star Kendra Wilkinson.
In this video, the elite trainer brings in Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick to show you how to target your chest and core with a simple exercise you can do at home. All you need is a medicine ball — and a willingness to sweat.
To be a fast player, you have to have great core strength.
With Orlando, we did some med-ball push-ups, where he placed one hand on the med ball and one hand on the ground. It is a great exercise for core strength — and upper body strength too.
Specifically, this movement confuses your muscle memory by changing up your standard push-up, and helps to improve strength as well as stability.
If you do a bunch of push-ups in your workout, this is a great new challenge. If you do the same push-ups repeatedly, it can become easy. Try med-ball push-ups as a way to promote muscle confusion.
Make sure you follow the correct form: Toes straight, bottom down, and elbows back. Do 5-10 reps for each arm, for five sets. Happy sweating.

Fantasy basketball
While flipping between Celtics-Raptors and Eagles-Giants last Sunday, I saw Celtics guard Ray Allen drain eight three-pointers in Toronto. Allens shooting ability is no secret, but his performance left me curious. I began wondering about the fantasy value of Allen and his teammates this season.
I havent had any Celtics on my squad for the past two seasons, so I havent been intimately aware of their fantasy value. Sure, I follow the Celtics closely, but its different when a player is on your team. Take Washingtons Caron Butler, for example. I had Butler last season and was determined to get him again this year (I did). I loved him in 2007-08, and Im on bended knee once again. The guy is a force, and I might not have realized how good he was if I didnt have him on my roster.
So how are the Celtics top players treating their fantasy owners? Lets take a look:
Kevin Garnett, F: Garnett remains a solid fantasy contributor, but he is no longer a statistical force. Celtics coach Doc Rivers is extremely careful when it comes to Garnetts playing time, and this season Garnett is averaging just under 33 minutes per game. Aside from his rookie season, thats a career low, as is this years scoring average (16 points per game). In category leagues, Garnett has always been terrific for rebounds, but even that is slipping compared to his career average (9.1 rebounds per game this season, 11.1 for his career). Would I want Garnett next season? Yes, but not until the third round. Add up his points-rebounds-assists-blocks-steals totals and hes 14th among NBA forwards.
Paul Pierce, F: Pierces scoring went down with the acquisitions of Garnett and Ray Allen, but his all-around game cant be denied: He averages 19 ppg, 5.6 rpg, and 3.7 assists per game. Though not superlative in any one category, Pierce ranks just behind Garnett in fantasy value among NBA forwards. Would I want Pierce next season? Yes, but not until the third round (sound familiar?). Pierce will be 32 at the beginning of next season. Hes still capable of putting up huge scoring numbers, but the days of him carrying your squad are probably over.
Ray Allen, G: Allen (below) is still valuable in category leagues because he remains an accurate three-point shooter (39 percent this season, just below his career average) and can still score (18 ppg). But Allens scoring like Pierces slipped when he was partnered with other perennial All-Stars, and hes unlikely to ever again average 24.4 ppg, as he did between 2002 and 2007. Allens toughness, though, cannot be questioned: Hes in his 13th season and is averaging 36.5 minutes per game, just about one minute less than his career average. Would I want Allen next season? No, unless Im in a category league and need his three-point shooting percentage.
Rajon Rondo, G: Rondos scoring (10.8 ppg) will likely force you to start him only in emergencies if youre playing in a regular format, but in a category league, Rondo will help you with assists (7.7 apg), steals (2.2 spg), and even rebounding (4.7 rpg). Would I want Rondo next season? Yes. At the moment, hes the perfect third guard, and if his scoring average and shooting percentages continue to creep north, Rondo is a potential fantasy star.

Lungs enlist immune cells to fight infections in capillaries
Neutrophils are quick in combatting bloodstream pathogens, study in mice finds
B.G. Yipp et al/Science Immunology 2017
Immune cells in the lungs provide a rapid counterattack to bloodstream infections, a new study in mice finds. This surprising discovery pegs the lungs as a major pillar in the body's defense during these dangerous infections, the researchers say.
"No one would have guessed the lung would provide such an immediate and strong host defense system," says Bryan Yipp, an immunologist at the University of Calgary in Canada. Yipp and his colleagues report their findings online April 28 in Science Immunology.
The work may offer ways to target and adjust our own immune defense system for infections, says Yipp. "Currently, we only try to kill the bacteria, but we are running out of antibiotics because of resistance."
The research uncovers some of the mechanisms that drive the rapid activation of neutrophils, says immunologist Andrew Gelman of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "This is critical in removing bacteria from sequestered spaces in the lung," he says.
Generally, clearing bacteria out of the bloodstream falls to macrophages that reside in the liver and the spleen. But macrophages aren't found in vessels of the lungs. So the lungs' blood vessel network gives pathogens a place to hide and escape the body's usual removal efforts.
In mammals, neutrophils hang out in the lungs' bloodstream more than in blood vessels that wind through other tissue. Past research has indicated that a dearth of neutrophils puts an individual at risk for a bloodstream infection. It wasn't clear, though, how they were providing a defensive role in the blood, says Yipp.
One of the proteins needed for neutrophil crawling, CD11b, allows the immune cells to move along as though on a tank tread, says Yipp. After LPS was added, the neutrophils in a mouse lung deficient in CD11b crawled about a third of the distance as the neutrophils in a normal mouse lung.
In another experiment, the researchers injected fluorescent E. coli into a mouse. Within 10 minutes of the bacteria reaching the lungs, the neutrophils started to crawl toward the bacteria and gobble them up, a process called phagocytosis. The neutrophils captured the majority of the bacteria within an hour of injection, says Yipp.
Gelman says it's now clear that neutrophils are good at removing bacteria from the lungs' capillaries. The next step is to "show the actual biological impact" — how this system controls a bacterial infection and improves survival, he says.
For patients with depressed immune systems, the finding may eventually provide a way to battle bloodstream infections, Yipp says. But, he notes, "with all infections, part of the concern is that the inflammatory response can become too exuberant, which leads to tissue damage, as in septic shock," and lung failure. In those cases, learning how to dampen the lungs' immune response could help, Yipp says.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by JCBRAVE, Feb 1, 2013.
Well Jake sucks and CJ doesn't. Therefore Jake can't afford to speak the truth while CJ can..
How can you even blame him after this offseason?
Munch's decision making would make most players want out.
Nothing we ain't already thinking. True is true. Dude being real. Can't hate that. Not "professional" but least he knows what's going on.
Now honestly I don't think we are light years away. I think we are two to three more SOLID drafts away. And that's if locker works out.
every team can turn it around. How many worst too first stories are there in the NFL?
Problem is featuring a scatback as the basis of your O is a formula for losing
see Sanders and Simpson
RBs cannot lead NFL teams, and most especially scatbacks
and yes arguable Simpson was not a scatback, but he was not Campbell either. The point is Sanders and Simpson could not make their teams good no matter how much talent they had and neither can
Titans need too limit the little guys role in the O and get a big boy too take the ugly work that is incapable of
The scatback stuff is mad true.
Jake still has a small chance of becoming the leader of this team, CJ has proven he never will be.
When a FA comes in to interview with a team, the coaches and staff have to sell that FA on the direction the team is going. Yes, money talks but good players want to win too. When the star player tells the media we are far away... no wait.... that we are very very very far away, players will take notice and good FA's will likely sign with a team that dosnet have their star player saying they are so far away its not funny. Therefor, it hurts the team in the long run.
I am not a fan of a player, and I dont let my dislike for a player or coach give me excuses to bash the team and support a player that is intentionally hurting the team. Granted, CJ is probably too stupid to realize he is hurting the team by saying this. Sadly, some of our fans are in the same boat.
I know our line sucked, but you take away CJ's long run and the past 5 games he averaged 2.5 YPC, which is a joke for a 10 million dollar a year man, regardless of the circumstances. I Have defended and said most of it was on the line the past 2 years and I still think that, but CJ, its time to just shut up or get out. No other team is going to give CJ 10 million a year. Its up to the front office, not CJ, where he plays next year.
If we could get a 2nd and get rid of his salary, we would be fools not to do it. CJ isnt going to help us win games, especially in the condition we are in, so that money can be spent on another one of many needed positions in the off season.At this point, I would not be too mad if they just cut him to save the money, and spent it elsewhere.
Then the FO can always say "CJ felt like we were too far away, we think we are close, we want people who can believe in what we are trying to build here"
Meanwhile, CJ works somewhere else and may even do well, but at half the price he is making now.
Cjs comments could easily be him sabotaging his future here on purpose.

Why do I need an instructor?
We live in a day and age where there is an abundance of freely available information. All you have to do is hit up Google and you can find thousands of videos and articles on how to do anything, including how to play the guitar. "Why do I need to fork out money then for an instructor?" you might ask yourself.Read more
How to Get Your Child To Practice Their Musical Instrument
There is only one thing more magical than watching an expert musician who is lost in their own craft; that is, being that musician. Become one with an instrument produces a sense of flow, enjoyment, confidence and pure bliss. A musician can lose themselves to something greater than them alone. Which is why you are doing your child a massive favour if you know how to make practice both fun and rewarding. Here's how to best get your child to practice, without the tears.Read more

Campaigning groups unite to call for climate action
Leading environmental and development organisations have joined forces to demand action on climate change.
The groups say that unless action is taken, the UN millennium development goals — which aim to half global poverty by 2015 — will be impossible to achieve, and that human development achievements could even be reversed.
The alliance — which includes Oxfam, Christian Aid, ActionAid, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and 15 other organisations — launched a report today (20 October) in London outlining the steps it says must be taken.
"It's too late now just to wish climate change away," says Christian Aid's director Daleep Mukarji. "We must do all we can to prevent it getting worse and we must help developing countries and poor people, who are already the most affected, to prepare themselves for what's coming."
The report, Up in Smoke, demands a global risk assessment of the costs that adaptation to climate change will have in poor nations.
It also calls for greenhouse gas emissions in rich countries to be cut to 60-80 per cent of 1990 levels by 2050. This goes far beyond goals set by the Kyoto Protocol, which calls for industrialised nations to reduce their emissions by an average five per cent below 1990 levels, by 2012.
Some of the costs that poor countries will have to bear in order to adapt to climate change should be borne by rich countries, says the report, stating that wealthy nations subsidised their domestic fuel industries to the tune of US$73 billion each year in the late 1990s.
Among other recommendations, the report calls for small-scale renewable energy projects to be scaled up and reproduced, and for seed banks to be established for use by communities threatened by climate change.
Implementing the report's recommendations will require new models of development and nature conservation, considerably increased funding and political commitment, say its authors.
The World Bank, they say, will have to significantly shift its priorities. In 2003, fossil fuel projects represented 83 per cent of the World Bank's spending on energy, while renewable energy projects received just 14 per cent.
"Every policy decision at every level must pass the test of whether it will increase or decrease vulnerability to the effects of climate change," says the report.
Also at the launch, participating organisations stressed the greater impact that climate change will have on poorer countries, citing communities being displaced, interrupted education, and the suicide of farmers in India due to failed monsoons.
R. K. Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says science will have to play an important innovating role in stopping and reversing the effects of climate change.
"We will have to spend a lot more time developing solutions for those who rely on rain," he says. "We will need more drought-resistant crops, and more salt-resistant crops."
Pachauri, author of the report's foreword, adds that it is "critically important" that the knowledge gap between North and South is bridged.
Endorsing the report, Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu said "Those working in the field of science and technology can provide governments with vital information as to how global warming might be reduced and to limit its potentially devastating effects".

Below is a running diary of L.A.'s Saturday night contest at Dallas, with some comments drawn from our @LakersReporter Twitter account, and a few more details in case you missed any of the action:
Lakers: Morris, Bryant, World Peace, Gasol and Howard
Mavs: D. Collison, O.J. Mayo, S. Marion, E. Brand, B. Wright
7:55 L.A. got off to a great start behind an on-fire Metta World Peace, who drained two three-pointers and bulled his way past O.J. Mayo twice for layups, scoring L.A.'s first 10 points. Dwight Howard then hammered home an alley-oop from Bryant to make it 12-6. With Shawn Marion defending Bryant, Dallas had to leave Mayo on Metta, certainly a mismatch.
3:56 I had a chance to speak with Pau Gasol before the game, the Spaniard suggesting that he can't continue to wait for offense to come to him, promising activity and aggression. And he certainly delivered in the opening minutes, twice going hard to the hoop first for a finger roll and then hitting two free throws, to reach six points, four boards and two assists with his team up 26-15. They'd keep up a terrific first quarter to emerge with a 36-23 lead, capped by the third MWP triple of the session.
10:13 The positivity continued into the second quarter, D'Antoni using Bryant, Meeks, MWP, Hill and Howard, with Bryant setting up the offense. They opened on a 7-0 run to push the lead all the way to 20, with Meeks draining two triples to provide a spark.
0:00 It's hard to find much of anything wrong with what was really a terrific first half for the Lakers, as Bryant's pull-up 3-pointer put emphasis on a story the scoreline told: 65-38. Perhaps most impressive individually was Jamison, who posted an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double in his nearly 16 minutes on the court. Howard dominated the defensive paint, and L.A. got at least eight points from four players in a balanced offensive attack.
6:07 I asked assistant coach Darvin Ham if the coaches could poke any holes in that first half: no. They were just pleased with the energy and effort, and that sustained into the third quarter, as two Bryant and one Chris Duhon free throw pushed the lead up to 78-46.
0:00 Even with the Mavs hitting five triples in the final three minutes of the third – three from Vince Carter – L.A. took a 24-points lead into the fourth quarter. The Lakers led by as many as 37 points, getting scoring from everywhere, the Mavs managing only 65.
4:52 Two free throws from Jamison pushed his impressive total to 19 points with a game high 15 boards, though some of those should be credited to Howard for influencing several Mavs misses. Moments later, with the bench emptied, Devin Ebanks drained a corner three to make it 107-77. Kobe, Gasol and Co. watched with smiles from the bench.
0:00 The final: 115-89. L.A. scored at least 24 points in all four quarters, highlighted by the 36-point first period that put the Mavs in a deep hole. The Mavs never got within 20 points in the second half, and finished the game at 37 percent from the field. L.A. hit 48.8 percent, and drained 12 of 22 three-pointers, including 5 of 7 from World Peace and 3 of 5 from Meeks. After the game, the unified message from Jamison, Bryant, Howard and D'Antoni was simple: consistent effort and energy from a group this talented is going to do put them in great position to win. Up next is a Tuesday tilt against Indiana, giving the Lakers a few extra days to rest. We'll see you there.

Teri - posted on 02/28/2010 ( 2 moms have responded )
Not only does my son have challenges with sensory issues / aspergers, he also must deal with getting frequent colds. So far, 3 new colds since he started preschool in mid-November. Does he have a weak immune system? Teachers will say all kids get sick when they first start school, which makes sense, but my son has now been enrolled in 3 schools! The first time I had to take him out after a couple of months because he spent more time out than in school because of illness. The second time he stayed in for four months but then got such a severe ear infection that I had to take him to the emergency room - thus, took him out of school again! Now, here we are again. Is three different colds in 3 1/2 months too much? I am wondering what to do?

Traders give cautious welcome to rate rebate scheme
LOCAL traders have given a cautious welcome to plans to encourage new shops in town centres by offering rate rebates, but have warned that there must not be an unfair advantage against established businesses.
A pilot scheme is being rolled out in Newcastle West, Rathkeale and Kilmallock that would provide up to 50% rent rebates to people who open new businesses in vacant units in designated areas.
The scheme, which is being trialled by Limerick County Council, has received a guarded welcome from local politicians. However concerns have also been raised that the scheme may favour new businesses over existing ones, which are already struggling to cover costs and pay rates.
A spokesperson for the Newcastle West Business Association, which represents small traders in the county town, said that the scheme would have to be fair.
"We would welcome any scheme that would be an incentive for new businesses in the town, so long as it's done on a fair and competitive basis. But if they can afford to bring in this kind of scheme, why not give us all a break?"
The retail incentive scheme, which was first trialled in Limerick city and has now been widened out to three county towns, allows new businesses to claim a rebate of up to 50% of rates in their first year, and up to 25% in their second year. The rebate must go towards covering fit-out costs. The scheme is scheduled to run until December 31, 2014, and the council has said that if it is successful it could be rolled out to other towns.
The plan was brought before a full meeting of Limerick County Council last week, during which the council's director of planning and economic development, Tom Enright, said that he is "quite satisfied" that the scheme is not anti-competitive, and will not unfairly favour new businesses over old.
While the scheme was welcomed by councillors, some were more cagey about its potential implications than others. Cllr Michael Collins said that while the scheme was positive, "in the tough climate, we need to be mindful of existing businesses, that are struggling to pay their rates".
Cllr Damien Riedy similarly gave the scheme a cautious welcome, but requested that the scheme also be extended to new manufacturing businesses.
Cllr John Sheahan said that he supported the scheme, as it is important to back "anything that will encourage business in our county". He said that the programme should be extended into other towns and villages, provided that the new businesses do not provide too great a threat to existing traders.

The generosity of those who attended Mobilisation at Kendrew Barracks in Cottesmore last month has resulted in donations to various charities.
The event was to commemorate the First World War so it was poignant that one of the first beneficiaries was the Royal British Legion.
Peter Lawson, chairman of Arts for Rutland which organised the event, said: "It is particularly appropriate that the Royal British Legion, who cared so much for the hundreds of thousands who returned as broken men from that awful conflict should be at the heart of our centenary commemorations in the county."
Legion president Nigel Sudborough said: "I'm delighted that local people recognise the contribution that the British Legion makes, and continues to make to the lives of servicemen and servicewomen, and their families."

Style Invitational Week 977 results: Twisting the tongues of Google Translate
By Pat Myers,
You can't lose this week! That's because there's not a new contest this week. Three and a half weeks from now, the Empress will be lounging on an exotic (okay, Delaware) beach, blissfully disconnected from this newspaper's "content management system," Methode, better known within the newsroom as "that piece of [not 'blueberry pie'] Methode." And so on the weekend of Aug. 18-19, the Invite will feature some of the many worthy entries from recent contests that we didn't have room to run. So you might as well get to work instead on Week 980, which is still going on — deadline is Monday at midnight (whenever your midnight is): It's to come up with a definition for any of 30-some words that the Losers coined for the Week 976 contest — words like "twithy" and "butthoven" — neologisms for which we're certain that there are funnier, more clever definitions out there than the ones the entrants came up with themselves. See the list and the contest rules at wapo.st/inv980.
The subhead for this week's honorable mentions was submitted separately by Tom Witte, Chris Doyle and Kevin Dopart; the alternative headline in the "next week's results" line is by Kathy El-Assal. Join the very lively Facebook page Style Invitational Devotees on.fb.me/invdev for a discussion about the contests and results, along with Loserly repartee ranging from links to important news developments ("Talking urinal cakes deployed to curb drunk driving") to impromptu limericks about that night's ballgame.
Report from Week 977
in which we repeated a contest from 2004 to see how much Google's translation tool had improved: As we did then, we asked you to have Google translate some English passage of your choice into another language (there are more than 60 choices now), then have Google translate that result back into English, then guffaw over how wrong the final result was.
In techno-time, of course, eight years is past "era" and into "eon." But we were still astonished how Google Translate had become almost creepily adept at this task — almost all the passages that were so comically mistranslated the first time around came out virtually identical to the originals. On top of that, it turned out that sometimes the translations of the Week 977 passages would improve a few days later. (In these cases, we honored the earlier versions.) Fortunately, we allowed an extra step this time: You could keep translating Google's translation into yet another language, and another, before returning it to English. Some of the more determined Losers telephone-gamed their passages through as may as 27 tongues. But we still found lots of gems in the plain old two-step process.
All that Loserly digging turned up at least one "Easter egg," a little prank left in the coding by some wag at Google. Judy Blanchard of Novi, Mich., randomly tried out the passage "Nadal is the best player," translating it into Azerbaijani. Translated back to English, it read: "Federer is best player."
So many First Offenders this week that we'll just note them with asterisks.

Re: OPPO BDP-83 Bluray player
The price difference isn't huge at $210 but it isn't small either. The primary difference is the better standard DVD upscaling and de-interlacing in the 83 which has the ABT video chip rather than the Mediatek basic upscaling. The difference would probably not be noticeable on a screen below 50".
The 83 also has better analog audio performance with its separate stereo analog out system (the 83SE is better for analog still and not by a little bit). Again if you do not need analog audio (for stereo SACDs and CDs), then this feature is not something you would need. If you are going to send all audio over HDMI, the improved analog audio performance would again be irrelevant.
Finally, with the latest firmware, the 83 can work with a DLNA server to allow streaming media (this is NOT streaming video downloads from Netflix or some other service) which allows you to send video from a media server or your computer through the 83 (taking advantage of its upscaling abilities where appropriate). The 80 so far does not have this last DLNA ability but it may possibly at some time.
The other differences that are in the 83's favor are build quality and extra features ones, such as the aluminum rather than plastic faceplate, heavier chassis, support for IR repeaters and the availability of an option RS-232 input for use with sophisticated control systems.

The beautiful piano sitting in the corner of Jill King's apartment begs to be played. For over a year, it has sat untouched, ever since a terrible accident shattered Jill's ambition of becoming a concert pianist. The ragged scar on her left hand is a cruel and constant reminder of the death of her dream.
But another dream is about to come to life - an unexpected, horrifying dream that will present Jill with a responsibility she never wanted. And choices she never wanted to make. Hundreds of lives depend on Jill's willingness to warn her small, oceanside town in Nova Scotia of a nameless, looming disaster. But doing so could cost Jill her reputation, jeopardize the political career of the man she loves, and ruin their plans for a future together.
The fate of an entire community hangs in the balance as Jill wrestles with the cost of heeding one still, small voice.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Interesting, heart felt and enjoyed."
How real it was and how I could easily I could identify with the main character.
It is hard to just list one, I enjoyed the entire book. The build up, and the end.
No I have not, but I will in the future
The male and the female were equally valuable to the story. I guess I enjoyed the woman's part, since I am a woman and could identify with her.
A wonderful book to read or listen to. I will be giving gifts of this to my sister, aunts and friends for one occassion or another all year.
"Very enjoyable thanks so much"
I love to read but don't always have the time, so enjoy listening as I work, it makes the work go easier and faster.
Yes , she did a great job and her expressions were good.
"Christian romance with a story twist."
It is a slow start. I actually was not going to continue listening but I received a request for a review. It is an interesting concept but a slow story to unfold. All in all I enjoyed the story.
"Boring, Simplistic, Empty"
Eight hours of emptiness and repetition. Like chewing all day on a piece of used up gum. Utterly obtuse, and simple minded. One and a half under-developed ideas are dragged through the reader's mind for the duration (in an attempt at keeping up suspense, but actually devolving into bored frustration) until this pathetic writing effort finally ends.
"Excellent Story"
Yes. It kept my interest until the very end.
The pianist learned she could pass her gift on by teaching.
Made me laugh and cry.
"Didn't meet expectations"
No. It seemed disjointed and unbelievable. I kept waiting to find out if this experience was supposed to be real or some dream she had while being unconscious. Was it serious or supposed to be humorous? I almost broke my own rule to finish every book I start (because I can usually learn something). I hate to give a less-than-good review, but I personally didn't enjoy the book at all. This was surprising, because I'm pretty sure I have read this author's books before.
I really don't know.
I don't know if it was her voice, or just because she was reading a book I wasn't enjoying, but personally, I didn't care for her narration.
Definitely not.
This story goes on and on and on, maddeningly leaving the answers to the very end. There are too many words and too many trite expressions, too many steaming mugs. Some of the characters are painted in an almost comical fashion. The energetic redheaded 79-year-old grandmother, the irritating orderly at the convalescent hospital, the sexually overt cafe owner and the counselor are a few. So there are glimpses of decent writing in between constant reminders that the Accident was almost a year ago. If my sister-in-law asked me to evaluate this manuscript, I would advise her to keep her day job -- or write a cookbook instead!
I went to amazon to learn that this author churns out dozens of Christian romances. I wish audible.com had not marketed this one to me so strongly! It is simple-minded and quite sappy. I don't mind a little religion. I often comment that God knows what She is doing. And I often say, "Thank you, God!" But all these ins and outs and wonderings and on and on and on is exhausting! Did God send this? What is God telling me to do? One minute this heroine is steely. The next minute she's a wet noodle. One minute her boyfriend is Cary Grant. The next minute he is an unknown quantity. And the religious touches at the end are simply irritating.
My belief broke completely when Jill got stuck in the snow. Really! Nobody drives an SUV in snow country without studded tires! As for playing the piano, I play and I am positive no concert pianist would get hurt and go through physical therapy without finding out exactly what the injured hand can do! In fact pianists often practice in trains or airplanes, their hands on the drop-down tables, imagining and remembering the music. It makes no sense to wait an entire year.
The narrator has a sweet little voice and sometimes gets a Canadian accent. Probably she did her best with what she had to read. I guess some people think this is a grown-up chapter book and would give it five stars. To me, the words aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Anyone who wants gutsy romance with a strong moral character, albeit Catholic, read Diana Gabaldon, and re-read and re-read and enjoy hugely!

Carey a criminal, not a victim
Published 5:13 pm, Monday, October 14, 2013
I was appalled and baffled by the headline "Victim's sister denied custody" on Saturday's front page. When did this criminal become the "victim?" After ramming a White House fence, knocking down and injuring a Secret Service agent, making an illegal U-turn, leading police on a chase down Pennsylvania Avenue (endangering pedestrians and other drivers), entering the one-way Garfield Circle from the wrong direction and slamming the car into reverse when officers gave her the chance to surrender peacefully, Miriam Carey was shot by officers who are now being criticized for protecting the public from someone who, at the time, could have had an arsenal of guns, a bomb, or other terrorist weapons. How would they know?
It's unfortunate that she suffered from mental illness. But all they knew in that volatile scenario was that this woman didn't comply with any of their orders and was a threat to the president and national security. And now her sister asks, "Why is she dead?" Why? Because she was a criminal, not the victim.

Just the ticket in honour
of Donna
Garth Brooks' concerts will significant events for his huge fansbase in Ireland but for one Dundalk family, the Friday concert will be a very special night indeed.
Laura Alana Byrne and her family will attend the Brooks concert in memory of her younger sister, Donna Blair, who passed away following a tragic accident, when she was just seven-years-old.
"Donna always loved Garth," said Laura.
"She had all his albums and would put his concert video on every single day.
"I can still see her sitting on the rug singing her heart out. By the age of seven she was obsessed."
In and out of hospital with asthma, Donna was the life and soul of the hospital wards.
"She had asthma that caused her to be in and out of hospital a lot," said Laura.
"She always brought her Garth Brooks video with her and the nurses used to joke with mum that she had them brainwashed."
In June 1998, Donna had just been released from hospital when she was knocked off her bike in Muirhevnamor and rushed to Beaumont hospital.
On 13 June 1998, Donna's machine was turned off and she passed away, aged just seven.
Donna's organs were donated, which helped to save the lives of five other children.
When it was announced that Garth would be coming to Ireland, the family decided to arrange a night in memory of Donna.
"Donna just loved Garth," said Laura.
"Mum would play Garth in the house and she loved him.
"Take That, and Spice Girls, would have been big at the time, but Donna was obsessed with Garth.
"Her favourite song was "Friends in low places" and she would go crazy when Garth smashed his guitar on stage."
Laura and her family queued outside News and Deli, Park Street Dundalk, for twenty-eight hours in the freezing cold to make sure they all got tickets.
On Friday 25 July, Laura, mum Eileen, sisters Amanda, Tracey, Shiree, Ciara and aunties Brenda, Bernie, cousins, and husbands, will sing their hearts out at Croke Park in memory of Donna.
"It will be a great concert and it will be worth every penny.
"Donna will be singing with us as well," Laura added.

Dani Ceballos scored his first Real Madrid goals on his full debut as the LaLiga champions responded to their shock midweek defeat with a much-needed 2-1 win at Deportivo Alaves.
Madrid's stuttering start to their domestic title defence continued with a 1-0 reverse against Real Betis at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, but Zinedine Zidane's side have so far performed better away from home this term and that again proved to be the case in the Basque Country.
Cristiano Ronaldo started his second game of the week – despite a looming Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund – but Madrid's hero was Ceballos, who netted the opener and then provided a quick response to Manu Garcia's 40th-minute equaliser.
That was Alaves' first goal of the campaign and the second could well have arrived here as they twice hit the woodwork in the second half, contributing to a nervy finish for Zidane's men.
Ronaldo and his team-mates were similarly profligate at the other end – also twice striking the post – but their failings ultimately mattered little as Madrid moved back to within four points of rivals and league leaders Barcelona, who play at Girona later on Saturday.

Capacity crowds for Grace Kelly exhibition
An exhibition focussing on the life and times of Grace Kelly has smashed attendance records at the Bendigo Art Gallery in central Victoria.
Princess Charlene of Monaco opened Grace Kelly: Style Icon in March.
Now at the halfway point of the exhibition's run, more than 85,000 tickets have been sold, breaking the previous attendance record of 76,000 for 2010's Golden Age of Couture exhibition.
It has also topped last year's White Wedding dress exhibition, which attracted 75,000 visitors.
The gallery expects the final attendance figure will reach 100,000.
Gallery director Karen Quinlan says staff are struggling to cope with the number of visitors.
She says staff were particularly under the pump last weekend when the gallery was pushed to full capacity.
"It's a very demanding environment. Because so many people [came] last Saturday for example, we had over 2,000 people," she said.
"This exhibition has been very unpredictable in that ever since it opened it's been busy."
The exhibition is averaging about 1,000 visitors a day.
The display of dresses and jewellery is due to finish next month and staff are preparing for a last-minute rush over the coming weeks.
The gallery will then undergo redevelopment works before launching its next major display in 2013.

London's Furtive Nut, Donmar Trio, Gay Don Giovanni
Sometimes interesting ideas and good performances combine into a big theatrical yawn. It's a mystery that London's theater seems happy to be exploring.
Enda Walsh's one-man play "Misterman" at the National Theatre deals with a day in the life of small-town religious obsessive Thomas Magill (Cillian Murphy).
He lives in a decrepit warehouse surrounded by tape machines which play the voices of his mother and his neighbors. He speaks to an angel called Edel.
Eventually he reveals the terrible secret which has unhinged his mind.
Isn't it nice that madmen of this literary type always seem to have a terrible secret which neatly explains their behavior? And they're always lucid enough to reveal it?
Murphy's 90-minute performance is a tour de force. He's funny one minute and savage the next. It's not enough to rescue a plodding, repetitive piece.
Rating: **.
'Making Noise Quietly'
Robert Holman, 60, is sometimes called a writers' writer. That usually means "his plays don't sell any tickets".
I'm not sure his cause will be helped by this 1987 triptych "Making Noise Quietly" at the Donmar Warehouse.
His three short plays examine the effects of war. In the first, a young homosexual meets a conscientious objector over a picnic in 1944.
In the second, a naval officer tells a mother that her estranged son has died in the Falklands War. In the final play, set in 1986, a holocaust survivor befriends a violent British soldier stationed in Germany.
Nothing much happens in any of them. People chat in question-and-answer format, like therapist and patient.
In the final play, the thuggish soldier has improbable flashes of insight. "How do I stop myself from enjoying hurting people?" he wails to Helene, the all-wise survivor. "I hurt myself to prove I'm not a coward, maybe."
The acting is all good, Peter Gill's direction unforced and straightforward.
Rating: **.
'Don Giovanni'
A gay "Don Giovanni," staged in Heaven nightclub, is providing provocative insights and laughs.
In Dominic Gray's promenade opera production, set in 1987, Giovanni's conquests are closeted Alan, businessman Eddie and recently-engaged Zac (two tenors and a baritone).
In Duncan Rock's warmly-sung performance, Giovanni's character represents all the fun, danger and selfish hedonism of the Thatcher boom years.
Giovanni accidentally murders Alan's mother Petra (a mezzo). She comes back as a ghost and drags him to hell, which turns out to be a lonely old age in an underfunded hospital.
The translation by Ranjit Bolt and David Collier is whip- smart, and gets plenty of laughs.
It's musically witty too. The singers perform their character's arias up or down an octave. Then in the ensembles, they revert to singing the line originally suited to soprano, or tenor, and so on, so that Mozart's textures are preserved.
The score is cut down to two hours, and it all feels seamless.
It's not flawless. Once or twice the direction is too static, and not all the singing is top drawer. If you can put up with that, then there are plenty of other pleasures in this thoughtful, funny, and oddly engaging production.
Rating: **.
ENO Season
English National Opera has just announced its new season, and there are some intriguing curiosities there too.
Philip Glass's new opera "The Perfect American" about Walt Disney has its U.K. premiere. Two rarities will be seen: Vaughan Williams's "The Pilgrim's Progress" and Charpentier's "Medea." The world premiere of Michel van der Aa's "The Sunken Garden" promises to be the first opera ever to employ 3D film.
Star directors Richard Jones and David McVicar both get productions. The bizarre German director Peter Konwitschny tackles "La Traviata."
If a gay "Don Giovanni" can work, maybe this will too.
