Here are some more information for White Off:
One of the drawbacks of renting is that you are fairly limited as to what you can do to enhance your decor. Most landlords do not allow you to change any of the wall or floor coverings so you kind of have to live with what you have. To make matters worse, most apartments are bland with off white walls and beige rugs.
So what's a renter that wants snazzy digs to do?
First of all, you can talk to your landlord and see if he or she is receptive to you giving the apartment a makeover. If you present them with a good overall plan, including colors and materials you might be surprised at what they will say. You may even be able to take some money off your rent in exchange for sprucing the place up! Having said that, most landlords probably won't want anything too funky so you'll have to stick to something that will be easily rentable once you move out. That custom made zebra print wallpaper might not work, but you can paint the walls an earthtone color and put some zebra print pillow around the room as a comprimise.
Another thing to consider is that since it is only a rental, you might want to really give some thought as to how much time and money you want to spend. Of course, you want the place to look nice while you are living there, but if you will be moving in another 6 months it's probably not worth spending thousands of dollars and 8 weeks to fix it up. If, however, you are committed to living there for the next several years then it might be a good investment to spend some time and money.
If your landlord gives you the OK to paint and replace flooring, it's best to go with neutrals and earthtones and let your accessories jazz up the place, but even if your landlord won't allow you to paint, there's still quite a few things you can do to give your apartment some pizzaz.
Walls
Your apartment probably has boring white or off white painted walls. You can jazz these up in a couple of ways. First of all, you can hang lots of pictures or artwork. If you put enough up you can basically hide the boring paint and transform your walls into a gallery of sorts. In order for this to be effective, however you need to group the pieces appropriately. First off, it's best to pick a theme like black and white photography, floral oil paintings or watercolors with animals. Then you need to lay out the paintings in geometric patterns - try this on the floor first to see how it looks. It usually looks better if you group them in odd numbers. You don't have to use paintings either, you can hang fancy plates, wooden masks or just about anything else that will stick on the walls.
Another way to mask those white walls is to hang rugs on the wall. A large rug can add softness and color to the room and hide most of that plain ugly wall. If a rug is too much, you might try using room divider but instead of plunking them in the middle of the room set them flat against the wall.
If you really have a lot of time and energy you can build a faux wall that fits in front of the actual wall - then you can cover that in whatever you want!
Floors
You're probably going to be stuck with the flooring that your apartment came with if it is in good condition. If it is in bad repair, you will have more leverage to talk the landlord into replacing it - make a deal with him where you do the work and he pays for materials as this is a win-win for everyone.
If you can't get a new floor, however, you can try to hide yours by using area rugs. Don't be afraid to put rugs on top of rugs but you'll have to be careful around the furniture if the rug underneath is plush as this can cause the area rug to bunch up.
When using area rugs, be sure to "anchor" them with a piece of furniture. A rug will look better if the sofa or chair is sitting on at least part of the rug.
Finally, you can make your apartment look great by adding shelves filled with mementos and collectibles. Think about making one whole wall a big shelving unit and fill it up with decorative accessories. Even if you can't do anything else to give your apartment decorative appeal, you can add lots of interesting accessories to add unique drama to your place.

White Noise Creates Happy Haven For Crying Babies
If you were a baby, you'd cry too. After being thrust into a world full of strange people, strange sights and strange sounds, you'd want to return to the womb; a happy haven where it was warm, cozy, and the sound that lulled you to sleep was a pleasant kind of whooshing. So how do you show you are unsatisfied with your current living arrangement? You cry. And you drive your parents bonkers. What is a parent to do?
Experts believe that you can significantly decrease crying associated with colic and recreate this whooshing noise by playing white noise for your crying baby.
What is White Noise?
White noise is all around us. The humming of a fan, the road noise in the car, these are all forms of white noise. And in your baby's case, the whooshing in the womb was white noise. Quite simply, white noise is all the sound frequencies a human ear can hear all being heard at once. Almost like a crowded room of people all talking at once. That roar you hear is white noise.
Why Would My Baby Want to Hear White Noise?
Your baby needs something to soothe her and remind her of her happy haven in the womb. Playing white noise will accomplish this goal and more.
First, you can play white noise to help drown out, or mask other noises. Several people sleep with a fan running to not be disturbed by other sounds in the house. Likewise, by playing white noise while baby sleeps, most sounds will be masked. So, if the dog barks, or the phone rings, you don't have to worry about your baby being disturbed. She will sleep more soundly and be much happier.
Second, the white noise will mimic the sound your baby heard for 40 weeks or so while in the womb. That rush, whoosh, or roaring sound is easy to recreate with simple things you might have around the house. The sound that most resembles the sound baby heard is a vacuum cleaner running, but there are a few more options you could try.
How do I Recreate White Noise?
You can recreate white noise by using everyday items around the house. Below are some ideas.
- A radio set to static
- A vacuum cleaner running
- A fan running
- A dishwasher running
- A hair dryer running
The goal is to create a soothing atmosphere which reminds baby of her environment in the womb. You can take other actions to achieve this atmosphere by turning down the lights, turning on some white noise, and keep baby gently swaying (swings work great for this). Another idea for creating the womb environment is to swaddle your baby. Swaddling helps your baby feel safe and secure.
But I Don't Want to Burn Up My Appliances!
If you try running your vacuum cleaner during a crying spell and your baby calms down quickly, you might want to invest in a white noise cd, or white noise generator. You can find these readily available for purchase online.
A white noise cd is more portable. You can just throw it in your diaper bag and go. If you prefer, you can opt to download a white noise mp3 and have them on your computer to burn several disks for your baby's other caretakers. The other plus about having a white noise cd is you can control the volume. You can also put the cd on repeat and let it go for hours.
So, if your baby has colic, and you are looking for a fast, easy solution to try to soothe her crying, pull out your vacuum and plug it in. Recreate that happy haven she experienced in the womb by making your own white noise. Baby will get some peace, and mommy and daddy will get some quiet.

How to get white off a picture on power point?
I am trying to put a gunstock that i got off paint on a gun on powerpoint but when i have it on powerpoint i stick it on the gun i made and it has the white outline covering alot of the gun that i made. how do i get rid of that white?
PowerPoint 2007: select the picture, go to the Format tab, pull down on Recolor all the way at the left, choose Set Transparent Color, then use the tool to click on the white to make it disappear.
PowerPoint XP/2003: select the picture, a picture toolbar should show up (if it doesn't go to the View pulldown menu --> Toolbars --> Picture), look for the icon that looks like a pen with a triangular point (when you hover over it, it says set transparent color) click on it then on the white in your picture.
WHITE BRIGHT BUT IRELAND OFF COLOUR
Andrew White's 75 proved in vain as Ireland suffered a 50-run defeat to West Indies A in today's tour match in Belfast. Andre Russell was the tourists' match-winner with a counter-attacking half-century and six wickets.
