Analysis of factors affecting the decision to purchase holiday packages by tourists through travel agencies.
The tour-operator travel agency trades in organizing and selling services packages or their components, directly or through its dealers.
Lately, the changes that have taken place on the tourist market have given birth to new ways of purchasing holiday packages. We can mention here the internet, on line booking services, the systems of global distribution and the electronic systems of distribution.The decision to buy tourist packages through a travel agency depends on a series of factors, such as: the price of the tourist product, if the agency is considered reliable or not, promotional offers, the quality of the product, facilities and free services (O.Eng. Law) such feudal services as were not unbecoming the character of a soldier or a freemen to perform; as, to serve under his lord in war, to pay a sum of money, etc.
See also: Free offered by the agency, recommendations from relatives and friends.
Taking into account all these elements, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that can influence the decision to purchase holiday packages. We would like to do this research because we have the belief that the identification of these factors and the measurement of their importance will help the travel agencies to understand their consumers better. Only through this approach the travel agency could maintain its position as a major distributor of the holiday packages.
The creation of the decision to purchase the tourist services is studied with a great deal of interest along the time. Thus, (Wearne, N. & Baker,K., 2002) sustains that people, according to according to
1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians.
2. In keeping with: according to instructions.
3. their personality, choose different tourist products. Furthermore, the pressure coming from their relatives and friends represents another factor which influences the process of purchasing in tourism (Holloway, Ch., 2004).
The research made in the field of motivation and decision to purchase in tourism revealed two factors, " the distance to the holiday destination" and " the price of the destination" ( Nicolau, J. & Mas, Fr., 2006) as being decisive for consumers in most of the cases. The research on decisions to purchase holiday packages made by parents and their adolescent children (Carr, N., 2006) shows that these choose holidays according to different factors. Thus, while parents want a safe holiday destination, teenagers do not want anything organised in advance or they have no exaggerated expectations. The relations between the purchasing behaviour of the tourists, the quality of the services and satisfaction coming after experimenting the tourist product were studied by (Bigne, J., 2001). He concluded that satisfaction is in strict connection with the offered quality, and the wish to purchase tourist services is related to satisfaction. Analysing the actual stage of knowledge in this field, it can be observed an evolution of the perspectives on consummer's behaviour, the motivation and the factors that influence the decision to purchase a tourist product. But, the factors must be understood and taken into account in the development of the tourist activities, according to (Marin-Pantelescu, A & Maniu, L, 2007).
The research on the factors affecting the decision to purchase the holiday package was made using the computerized program SPSS A statistical package from SPSS, Inc., Chicago (www.spss.com) that runs on PCs, most mainframes and minis and is used extensively in marketing research. It provides over 50 statistical processes, including regression analysis, correlation and analysis of variance. (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) wich reports the frequence fre·quence
[Middle English, multitude, from Old French, from Latin frequentia; see frequency.]
Noun 1. of responses, the valid percentages cumulated to each question in the questionnaire. Defining the decisional problem--The problem we made the moment we started this study was to identify the factors that affect the decision to purchase tourist products, if these differ as importance and what impact could have their identification on the activity of the travel agencies. The purpose of the research The general purpose to achieve through this research was to identify, measure and put them in a hierarchy according to their importance. The objectives of the research--to identify the decisional factors to purchase a tourist product and to measure and put each of them in a hierarchy according to their importance. Specific hypotesis were the price and the quality of the offered products are the most important factors that affect the decision to purchase tourist products and the recommendations from relatives and friends became more and more important in purchasing a holiday package.
The study was made at the stand of a travel agency from Bucharest participating at that moment to the International Tourist Fair at Romexpo, Bucharest, the 19th Edition, within the period of 27-30 March 2008, through a questionnaire of 27 questions, out of which 4 questions were open and 24 close. The sample of the survey was made appealing to an aleatory aleatory adj. uncertain; usually applied to insurance contracts in which payment is dependent on the occurrence of a contingent event, such as injury to the insured person in an accident or fire damage to his insured building. method of sampling--simple aleatory sampling method, whose implementation led to a number of 318 questionnaires.
3. CASE STUDY (PROJECT NO.182, CNCSIS CNCSIS Consiliul National al Cercetarii Stiintifice din Invatamantul Superior (Romania) , PNII-RU-TD-2008-3 'DIVERSIFYING AND PERSONALIZING TOURIST'S SERVICES IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION')
Regarding the profile of the responding people, it was observed the various regions the ressponding people come from, however, most of them being from Moldavia (23%) and Bucharest (20%). Regarding their repartition re·par·ti·tion
1. Distribution; apportionment.
2. A partitioning again or in a different way.
tr.v. re·par·ti·tioned, re·par·ti·tion·ing, re·par·ti·tions
To partition again; redivide. on gender, 49% of them are males and 51% are females. Their repartition on age is that approximately 46% of the responding people are under 35 years old, 59% are married, 43% have high education and only 7% have no school. Finally, regarding their standard of living, 25% have incomes within 751-950 Euro.
Given the socio-demographic coordination described above, it can be made the analysis of the results of the direct marketing research.
Thus, the decision to purchase tourist products was studied in connection with a series of features, such as: the reliability offered by the travel agency, the promotions offered, the facilities and gratuitousness given, the price of the tourist product, its originality o·rig·i·nal·i·ty
n. pl. o·rig·i·nal·i·ties
1. The quality of being original.
2. The capacity to act or think independently.
3. Something original.
Noun 1. and diversity, and its degree of individuality.
The final result for each factor was calculated using the semantic differential Semantic differential is a type of a rating scale designed to measure the connotative meaning of objects, events, and concepts. Nominalists and realists
Theoretical underpinnings of Charles E. in five stages (1 representing the fact that they appreciate that factor very little, and 5 that they appreciate it very much), and the results are presented in the graph below:
The values coming after this analysis, close to the maximum of 5, prove the importance of these factors in taking the decision to purchase the holiday package through a travel agency. The highest score was obtained by the price of the tourist product (4,8), this being the most important decisional factor.
The Romanian are very affected by the price and for this reason the travel agency has to take into account the contracts negotiated with the providers of tourist services and the amount of the commission applied to these services. On the second place there are the recommendations from relatives and friends (4,6) because the tourist services are immaterial Not essential or necessary; not important or pertinent; not decisive; of no substantial consequence; without weight; of no material significance.
immaterial adj. and thus, the important thing is to experience the product and share this with the others.
The most reliable persons in tourism are those who went to a specific destination and share this experience. If these are friends, relatives or colleagues they are even more reliable and their opinion matters.
On the third place there is the reliability offered by the agency (4,4). This thing happens because not in rare occasions the tourists faced problems at the holiday destination or the airport and they could not complain to anybody or could not take the money back, etc.
The facilities and gratuitousness are on the fourth place and obtain a good score of 4,1 owning to the Romanians incomes which are inferior to those in other countries, and this determine them to give a great importance to those elements.
The diversity of the products represents the fifth factor to affect the decision with a score of 3,9. It is normal for a tourist product rich with entertainment and tourist attractions to be more attractive than another one that offers only accommodation.
The promotions, which represent an important technique in sales are on the sixth place, with a score of 3,8. On the seventh place there is the factor related to the originality of the product, with a score of 3,6.
A new tourist product creates, at the beginning, a little reticence ret·i·cence
1. The state or quality of being reticent; reserve.
2. The state or quality of being reluctant; unwillingness.
3. An instance of being reticent.
Noun 1. from tourists because they do not know what expectations to have related to the holiday destination. After this psychological limit is surmounted sur·mount
tr.v. sur·mount·ed, sur·mount·ing, sur·mounts
1. To overcome (an obstacle, for example); conquer.
2. To ascend to the top of; climb.
a. To place something above; top. , they will experience it. In the end, on the last place there is the factor related to the individualisation Noun 1. individualisation - discriminating the individual from the generic group or species
individualization, individuation
discrimination, secernment - the cognitive process whereby two or more stimuli are distinguished of the product, with a score of only 3,2, which means that the tourists are indifferent to this factor.
The consumers do not take into account the individuality of the product when they take the decision to buy it. We believe that for taking into account this factor, consumers must have a certain standard of living , a certain tourist experience which are not determinant determinant, a polynomial expression that is inherent in the entries of a square matrix. The size n of the square matrix, as determined from the number of entries in any row or column, is called the order of the determinant. in our country at this moment.
The research on the modality modality /mo·dal·i·ty/ (mo-dal´i-te)
1. a method of application of, or the employment of, any therapeutic agent, especially a physical agent.
2. the consummers take the decision to buy the tourist product has evolved considerably in the recent years.
In the marketing study it could have been seen wich are the most important factors that affect the decision to purchase the holiday package through a travel agency.
We created a hierarchy according to the score obtained through the semantic differential and We commented each factor. Thus, as the research showed, the order of the factors that affect the decision to purchase the holiday package through a travel agency is the following: the price of the tourist product, recommendations from relatives and friends, the reliability offered by the agency, facilities and gratuitousness, the diversity of the services included in the holiday package, the promotions, the originality of the product and the level of individualisation.
We hope that this research will represent a starting point Noun 1. starting point - earliest limiting point

We hope that the travel agency will maintain its major role as a distributor of holidays, but for this, it needs to offer reliability, high quality services at attractive prices and new and various products.
Even if our research achieved its goal, future marketing studies must be done in order to observe the evolution of the factor referring to the individualisation of the tourist products. Maybe, in the future, the Romanian tourists will appreciate more this factor.

I know I have said this before it is just to much of a hassle and gets kind of scary having people on the roads in the winter so we have our yearly family thing in then summer at the park shelter house.....That is all our Holidays and that way we get a lot more people and no one is stuck having to either do it all or have 50+ people in their house.......
If we didn't do it that way there would be so many family members that we just wouldn't get to see....and it is a great photo op......lol
But people here in town always invite us because we will be "alone" on the holiday...which really don't bother us.....but now that our son has moved back to town his wife does the holiday thing and I can make something and go there for a good meal and get to talk to the grands......
Ok, I have to say yes, sometimes I think about having 20-25 people here for Thanksgiving and putting up the tree and decorating which was my thing for so many years....to get myself out of that warm fuzzy mood I think about getting the tree out that left all of it's needles in the carpet not to mention the sap that dripped on there as well...and the cleaning and ..........there it worked I am over it again.......lol
11/11/11 is our anni. it will be 50 years.......and we still like to be along with each other.....we are ok.......

Anyone here have personal experience with Autometer
electronic speedo's? Are they as easy as they claim to calibrate and reliable? Thanks
I have been researching gages for my street rod, and have settled on AutoMeter. One reason was their website. It has a wealth of technical information on it, including .pdf files you can download.
The calibration proceedure for their electronic speedometer is very simple. When installing it you mount a small switch in some out of the way place. Take the vehicle out to a measured two mile distance. Press the switch once, then start the two mile drive. As you approach the end of the two mile drve, and when you stop, press the switch again. The speedo is calibrated. This proceedure is explained on their website in a .pdf you can download. I suspect the proceedure is the same for VDO and other gages. AutoMeter has been around a real long time, and I have seen them in a lot of rods that I have been looking at. As mentioned above, their website is superior to all others in my opinion.
I use VDO gauges and have for a long time. The speedo is very easy to calibrate, the button is on the front of the speedo and you drive a measured mile and it is correct. The other thing I like is customer service. I once lost a votlmeter right before a trip to street rod nationals several years ago, put in an old gauge I had in the garage and took the gauage to VDO's booth, they gave me a new one no questions ask. I have heard autometer is very good also, but I have never dealt with them personnally. Just my 2 cents worth.
I hate electric gizmos..........
I am old school and I use Stewart Warner. The cable driven kind.
A speedometer is set to turn 1000 RPMs in a mile.
It is simple math to calibrate the driver/driven gears in the transmission/speedomter cable .
"I won't be wronged . I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. "
1000 RPM per Mile?????
What do you mean by this? The RPM must chang depending on your speed - so 1000 rpm per mile at what speed?
I didn't think I'd like an electonic speedometer, but my VDO is great! Another way to "tweak" it is to access a number, with that button that's been mentioned, which represents the pulses per mile and change it as a ratio to the speeds involved. Boy, does that sound confusing! What I'm trying to say is, if you're going 47 when the speedo says 45 and the number is 43725 (it's a number about that size, as I recall), then you want to change it to (45/47)43725 or 41864.
(No, that number sounds too high! That would mean about 35 pulses per revolution from the sending unit at the transmission. Well, whatever it is, that's how you'd adjust it.)
Last edited by BillyShope; 06-15-2005 at 04:37 PM.
The speed has NOTHING to do with the fact that a speedometer cable must turn 1000 times in a mile.
It will turn 1000 times in a mile at 20 mph and 1000 times at 75 mph. It just takes a lot less TIME for the cable to turn 1000 times.......

The Out-of-Touch-With-Reality Crowd
In "The Biggest Myth About the Fed," David Beckworth, an assistant professor of economics at Western Kentucky University, suggests that the pessimists are wrong to be concerned about what Mr. Bernanke and Co. are up to.
There many myths about Fed policy over the past few years, but the biggest one has to be that the Fed has been monetizing the national debt. This simply is not true, but it does not stop some folks from making this claim. For example, at last week's Cato Monetary Conference we find former Fed officials pounding the Fed-is-monetizing-the-debt drums:
Mr Warsh and Mr Poole (who was filling in for Allan Meltzer) made a sharp distinction between the "legitimate" efforts to fight the crisis and the subsequent easing actions that were, allegedly, unjustified by the economic fundamentals. According to them, the interventions of 2007-2009 were required to ensure that "the markets could clear", as Mr Warsh put it, while the second round of easing was done to satisfy "political masters" by monetising the debt. In fact, Mr Warsh said that the Fed was being actively unhelpful by "crowding in" Congress's supposedly poor policy choices.
My first response is how can they can say this with historically-low U.S. treasury yields and muted inflation expectations? Surely, if the Fed were truly monetizing the debt we would be seeing a 1970s-repeat in the bond market, but we are not. And this is happening, in part, because the Fed is not that big of a treasury purchaser. Consider the figure below. It shows the Fed's stock of treasuries by remaining maturity compared to the total stock of marketable treasuries as of the end of October, 2012. Though the Fed's share of treasuries increases by remaining maturity, at most it hits 32% of the total for 10-30 years category. That means that after many months of Operation Twist that roughly 68% of long-term treasuries are still held outside the Fed. Overall, the Fed holds about 15% of marketable treasuries as seen in the "All Years" category. It is hard to square these numbers with the allegations that the Fed is monetizing the debt.
Leaving aside the questions of whether:
- the Fed's share of the Treasury market will remain as low as it is now if other investors start heading for the hills;
- the central bank's intentions with respect to their securities holdings will remain the same if the economic, financial, political, or social landscape changes for the worse; or,
- we can really know for sure that the debt has been monetized until after the fact;
the notion that current benign market conditions are a reason for optimism sums up just how out of touch with reality most academic economists (and other alleged experts, including journalists-cum-forecasters who parrot this nonsense) are.
// ]]>
By this sort of logic:
- Mid-2005 was the right time to be optimistic on housing
- January-2007 was the right time to be optimistic on the banking sector
- The spring of 2007 was the right time to be optimistic on credit markets
- The fall of 2007 was the right time to be optimistic on global equity markets
- Mid-2008 was the right time to be optimistic on commodities
- This past September was the right time to be optimistic on technology stocks
Of course, we know how those all worked out (hint: not well).

Elevate St. Louis: The Trestle Great Rivers Greenway By Diane Anderson Great Rivers Greenway hosted a free street party meets happy hour event to raise awareness about the Trestle, an old 1.5-mile abandoned elevated rail alignment in North St. Louis City. Great Rivers Greenway is working with St. Louis City and various partners aiming to convert the area into a linear park and greenway. The project is putting St. Louis on pace to become the third city in the world to transform an abandoned historic elevated alignment into a vibrant park and recreation destination. The other two are New York and Paris. Those who attended enjoyed samples from local food trucks while listening to the music by Gene Dobbs Bradford's Blue Experience. Among those in the crowd were Mayor Francis Slay, Susan Trautman Executive Director of Great Rivers Greenway, Linda Goldstein Mayor of Clayton, Joshura Davis, Tammika Hubbard 5th ward alderwoman and Todd Antoine.

President Barack Obama's job approval rating has slipped three points in the past week, according to a new Gallup Poll finding.
The decline from 59 percent to 56 percent in one week is the sharpest drop thus far in Obama's presidency. The poll findings also highlight a drop from the president's 66 percent approval rating in May. Currently, 37 percent of Americans do not approve of Obama's work.
The Gallup poll comes on the heels of the president's national road trip to transform health care coverage, and his recent comments on the racially charged debate over Harvard professor Henry Gates' arrest.
Obama also saw a seven-point drop in support among Hispanics and a four-point drop among whites. But there has been no decline among black supporters.
According to Gallup, the poll shows that President Obama may have lost some political steam during July.

She's gone and done it again, guys. After changing her naturally dark tresses to blonde, then altering the hue to blue somewhere along the way, Demi Lovato's now showing off a fresh coat of dye for her mane reminiscent of her upcoming tour, and we are ob-SESSED.
With her Neon Lights tour kicking off next month, the "Heart Attack" singer's getting into the spirit with neon pink hair, and it is totally working for her. (She always did look fab with crayon-colored locks.) Catch her new weave here:
What do you think of D.Lo's newly-dyed 'do? Are you feeling the pink, or do you prefer one of her other shades? Tell us in the comments below, or on our Demi Lovato message board!
Demi Lovato totally has the best resolution for 2014…


text: What a delight - we have been trying to book for ages and so pleased we finally got there. We booked two more visits before we left for next year. A fabulous site- peaceful, dog friendly, near to some lovely pubs which serve delicious food so not having an evening dining facility is probably a good thing. You can go to dinner and come back and have a drink in the clubhouse. The bathroom facilities are wonderful, I dread going to a communal shower type site again!! This site spoils you for everything else. Well done Eye Kettleby - see you soon.

Countdown to the World Series
Welcome to October 9, the day they played the final game of the World Series in the following years: 1966 (Orioles 4, Dodgers 0), 1961 (Yankees 4, Reds 1), 1958 (Yankees 4, Braves 3), 1949 (Yankees 4, Dodgers 1), 1944 (Cardinals 4, Browns 2), 1938 (Yankees 4, Cubs 0), 1934 (Cardinals 4, Tigers 3), 1929 (Athletics 4, Cubs 1), and, most infamously, 1919 (Reds 5, White Sox 3).
By this day, 29 World Series had already ended. Some quick facts:
- Earliest final game of the World Series: Sept. 11, 1918, to accommodate World War I (Red Sox 4, Cubs 2).
- Earliest final game of the World Series in a non-war year: October 2, in 1932 (Babe Ruth's called shot) and 1954 (Willie Mays' catch).
- Earliest final game of the World Series after the 162-game schedule was instituted in 1961: October 6, 1963, when the Dodgers swept the Yankees in four games: Koufax, Podres, Drysdale, Koufax.
- Earliest final game fo the World Series after the best-of-five playoffs were instituted in 1969: October 14, 1984: Tigers 4, Padres 1.
- Earliest final game of the World Series after the best-of-seven playoffs were instituted in 1985: October 20, in 1988 (Dodgers 4, Athletics 1) and 1990 (Reds 4, Athletics 0).
- Earliest final game of the World Series after the wild-card round was added in 1995: October 21, 1998 (Yankees 4, Padres 0).
- Earliest final game of the World Series this decade: October 25, 2003 (Marlins 4, Yankees 2)
Countdown to the first game of the 2009 World Series? 19 days. The Series starts October 28, 2009. Only two World Series have lasted longer than this year's start date: Last year's, which ended on October 29, and the Sept. 11, 2001-interrupted season, which didn't end until November 4.
Nice planning.

Firon Roofing … Quality workmanship done right the first time.
Our MissionAt Firon Roofing, we are building our foundation with a solid reputation for quality work. Contact Us
Our Testimonials
The owner comes to your home, explains the product, leaves you samples. They follow through with the date and estimate they give you. They have a full crew that ensures your property is not damaged by laying tarps. The owner also comes personally afterwards, goes on the roof to ensure the work is done right. Great warrantee.Zarrar - Ottawa, ON
Roof job Nov 2013 – got in just under the wire before it got really cold. Very satisfied with the finished roof, and just as importantly how they addressed my questions and concerns before during and after the job. Full tidy-up required them to make a trip back, which they did do as promised. Their quote was more detailed than any other I received, and in terms of cost it was not the cheapest, nor was it the most expensive (GAF Lifetime shingles). Overall very pleased and would recommend their services.Charles B. - Ottawa, ON
Hard working, punctual, clean crew, skilled and friendly foreman. Owner was on site on multiple occasions, which is a plus in my books. Once done, they left the area very clean. Roof looks fabulous, I've received many compliments from neighbours. I had even planted new grass seed in the back and they used caution not to ruin it even though they had to go on it. Very satisfied.


text: I started out two weeks ago really strong. I had a very good week making good choices and eating smaller portions frequently throughout the day...and then I went to my boyfriends for the weekend! We are both in school and work all week and only get together on the weekends. He cooks sooo good but incredibly unhealthy and always fills the plate. He likes to treat me on the weekends and always cooks my favorite (very bad for me foods). He says he wants to spoil me and make sure I have a relaxing week off because I work so hard during the week but Its not good for me! This happened two weekends ago and then I couldn't get back on track on monday and totally lost my momentum. How do I find a happy medium between his food habits on the weekend and my doing well during the week??

HazMatIQ Above the Line Below the Line
The HazMatIQ Above the Line/Below the Line system is a patented program developed by experienced hazardous materials responders, taught in a straight forward, easy to understand methodology. By the use of simplified flow charts, personnel are able to safely and efficiently respond to any known or unknown chemical or mixture. Students will be trained to size-up (physical state, hazards, initial hot zone, correct meters and PPE) any chemical in virtually seconds. The system then coaches personnel through a streamlined chemical research method to verify their initial size-up, preparing them to immediately go to work when they arrive on a Hazardous Materials/WMD event.
Oil Spill Response Training
This training is designed to give responders a basic understanding of how to access and use the tactical response plan viewer, and to provide them with the knowledge and tools necessary to respond to routine incidents, protect critical shoreline areas and intakes with boom, and prevent the migration of oil from a spill site to the river using readily available materials that can be acquired at any ranch supply or home improvement outlet and response caches. The training will be primarily classroom discussion, along with a limited hands-on equipment discussion.
Pet Integration in Emergency Response
An update on the current capabilities in Wyoming for responding to a disaster where there is involvement of pet animals will be given. The roles and responsibilities of County Veterinarians, Regional Veterinary Coordinators, and members of the Veterinary Reserve Corp will be provided. Protocols for evacuation and sheltering of pets during disasters will be reviewed. Examples will be given of animal rescue/evacuation/sheltering activities that were carried out during recent disasters that have occurred across the United States.
School Preparedness: School Place Violence
The training will provide attendees specific techniques for identifying the potential Avenger or Active shooter along with countermeasures for disrupting the progression to a violent incident. The detection section will provide a behavioral coding system which will allow school environments to conduct dynamic risk assessment. The final portion of the training will focus on issues related to responding to, and recovering from an active shooter situation.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Safety for Firefighters & First Responders
A half-day seminar designed for firefighters, incident commanders, and code officials to provide the tools to safely operate around a Solar Electric (Photovoltaic, or PV) system. With voltages up to 1000 VDC, knowing what is safe to touch or not touch is KEY.
Students will walk away with an understanding of the individual components, fundamentals of operation, and where the hazards exist in a PV system. Several case studies of fires involving PV systems will be discussed, as well as developments in national safety codes & standards.
Strategies & Tactics for EMS & Hospitals after Radiological & Nuclear Terrorism
EMS and hospital professionals should be prepared to handle different types of disasters, including radiological and nuclear terrorism. They should understand specifics of radiological hazards that they are facing during mass care of victims after WMD radiological incident. This seminar provides training for EMS and hospital personnel in all aspects of pre-hospital and hospital level radiological triage and evaluation, as well as ER processing of potentially contaminated patients after a WMD radiological/nuclear terrorism.

DEVICES AND SERVICESOur devices and services sales were $76.3 million for the second quarter and demonstrate our increased diversification. Revenues from our device and services segment include $26.8 million from our recent acquisition of American Medical Systems, (AMS), which furthers Endo's evolution from a product-driven company to a healthcare solutions provider.

The acquisition of AMS is immediately accretive to earnings on an adjusted basis and along with HealthTronics, supports Endo's strategy to build scale in our devices and services segment. Additional details of net sales performance within Endo's devices and services segment are located in the attached tables at the end of this press release.
2011 Financial GuidanceEndo's estimates are based on actual results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and management's current belief about prescription trends, pricing levels, inventory levels and the anticipated timing of future product launches and events. Our guidance takes into account that we closed our acquisition of American Medical Systems on June 17, 2011. The company's guidance for reported (GAAP) earnings per share does not include any estimates for the potential future changes in the fair value of contingent consideration or for potential new corporate development transactions.

When To Stop Tyga Feat. Chris Brown From Well Done 4
Editor Rating: VERY HOTTTTT
User Rating:
Tyga and Chris Brown don't know when to stop.
"When To Stop" is another choice cut from Tyga's new Well Done IV mixtape, which you can cop in our mixtape section. Frequent collaborator Chris Brown holds down the hook on this "sexual ballad".
Can you dig it?
"I'm faded, sippin' and leanin' / I'mma fuck you like I'm in a bad mood."

This movie was alot funnier when I was younger and now that I'm older I get some of the jokes for older kids in it. I think that it's weird that Ottie(that's the dog's name right?) can't talk but Garfield can. Great actors!more

hey guys, i see alot of helihobby bashing going on in here, is it justified? i have made MANY purchases from heli hobby and have had no problems at all. they arnt the most knowledgeable people to deal with as far as compatibility or hybred questions, but they have always done there best to help. just wondering if it was a personal problem or actual service problem that is warrenting all the bashing
|Dec 18, 2005, 12:35 PM
I would hope people base their opinions on their own experiences. You seem to have had nothing but good experiences so I would personally run with that. The reason there are so many negatives posted about anybody or anything is because people tend to be more vocal about things that upset them. There's also the *jump on the bandwagon* effect.
I'm not saying the HH is a good thing or a bad thing but in the end it's your own experiences that matter.

I have ordered probably 10 times from them and had only good experiences. Same with DeeTee and Modefos.
|Dec 18, 2005, 12:45 PM
Anyway, that's not the appropriate forum to talk about it. Go to the vendor talk forum.
|Dec 18, 2005, 12:47 PM
ive ordered 3 times from them,all times were met with problems,mainly there were items missing from my orders,and there poor costomer service.but thats just my opinion allot of peoople have had good dealings with them.luck of the draw i guess.
|Dec 18, 2005, 12:51 PM
I've never had a bad experience with them also. All oders are shipped same day or next, and I got them in the mail with no problem. But all the negative feedbacks kind of push me back on ordering expensive stuff from them. Their site is one of the great sites with lots of info about helis. Whenever I hear about a heli that I don't know, I go there for checking out the spec, & the price, etc.
|Dec 18, 2005, 12:56 PM
True in the END its your experience that matters but in the beginning its others that could matter more.
|Dec 18, 2005, 01:02 PM
|Dec 18, 2005, 01:34 PM
I like to hear the bad reviews, honestly reading through countless posts of people's good experiences would be boring.
Plus its very easy to get a bad wrap just from a few bad interactions, doesnt mean that 99% of the time your doing a great job though. That really shows that some of the vendors really try hard to work everything out becuase you never hear *anything* bad about them.
But yes to the original post, its good you can judge some vendor on your own merrit not all just on what you read. Wonder how much hh has lost becuase of the bad stuff you hear about them though?

I too have been surprised with the number of negative comments I've seen about heli hobby. I've ordered no less than 25 times from them over the past year, with many large and complex orders, and with only positive results. Only once was something missing (one of the blades from a Blade CP carbon set had apparently fallen out of the bag). I called, and they sent a new set, no questions. I can heartily recommend Heli hobby to anyone. That being said, I agree with TheX, that no supplier is perfect, and some will have a negative experiences.
|Dec 18, 2005, 01:38 PM
For the record I've ordered one thing from HH and had no problems. But the only reason I ordered was because I couldnt find the part anywhere else. Normally I use ellerc becuase its 1 day away shipping and I've had 10+ good experiences with them.

For me the essence of a good hobby shop is how they deal with it when something goes wrong! . helihobby is for suckers, i know i,ve been there!, its all good till it goes bad and then you realise it wasnt worth it, keep buying from there but take a look at all the bad reports and then dont say you werent warned, been there done that.
Helihobby ! where dreams come true.
Any company that doesnt respond to the better business bureau when it has complaints about it doesnt deserve the credit of "telling my friends" no matter how lucky i got when i bought my stuff from there.
Ps walkera choppers are the best choppers in my opinion,i had one and it flew fine.
My advice if you break down and order from them is to get email comformation all your parts are in stock before you pay for them,not that it ever stopped them from screwing up after that but it may help someone.
I have has potentially bad experiences form fx and modefo,s but there were all handled proffesionally and promptly,how can i complain?.

Thats what i call 'trolling" the thread is about helihobby i am describing my experience as best and honest as i can.
Have you got a problem with that? or do you just want the glitter?.
|Dec 18, 2005, 02:20 PM
yareeebareeeba, *winks*, they have a total of 3 complaints that went unanswered in who knows how many transactions over the years. 3 is NOTHING!!!!!!!
There are valid complaints but that really isn't one to base an entire opinion on.

"Their titles are legitimate... their children are not!"
>From "Come Along with Me," from the 1953 Broadway Musical Production, "
Can-Can" Original version sung by Hans Conried
>From a friend in NY:
"A local physician was recently issued an appearance ticket by Sheriff's
Deputies in Wayne County, NY for stealing lawn signs opposing NY's "SAFE"
Can you imagine the degree of bias this MD has against people who only want
gun ownership to continue to be legal? So much bias that she is willing
to trespass and steal signs, just to suppress free expression on the part of
local citizens.
We are frequently led to believe, via the media, that the word of '
professionals,' particularly left-leaning ones, is automatically beyond debate, so
their dubious 'studies' must never be questioned. Think of the
unchallenged support such 'studies' receive from the media when they come from
publications like JAMA.
Many medical 'professionals' are all too anxious to 'fall in line' with
leftist socio-political agenda, such as abolishing personal freedoms, like
the freedom to express non-leftist views. Liberals piously profess to
support 'diversity,' in everything but opinion!
We are reminded of the plight of Soviet citizens in the former USSR. When
one dared question the ruling party, he would instantly become the target
of a coordinated government/medical program, where party 'doctors' would
invariably arrive at a psychiatric diagnosis of 'sluggish schizophrenia,' or
Leonid Brezhnev's personal favorite, 'philosophical intoxication.'
Either way, the 'dissident' gets indefinitely locked away in a so-called '
mental ward!'
For those few of us who still don't drink liberal Koolade, critical
thinking still entails questioning, sometimes ignoring, 'expert advice' from
sources that are agenda-compromised, and thus seldom have our best interests in
"Modern politicians, elected largely by the dependant, non-contributing,
and permanently non-productive class, predictably consist of flunkeys,
drunks, cowards, posers, fashion-mongers, time-servers, and part-time pimps.
Their audiences are not much better!"
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the
gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery
Winston Churchill
John S. Farnam
