"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself:" - Maya Angelou
Welcome to your home away from home. Relax, as you sit atop our handmade eucalyptus benches listening to the running waters of the Inkan aqueducts beneath you while you marvel at the stunning view of the ancient Inkan monuments. The location of our Casa is ideally situated on a cobblestone pedestrian street in the "old town" section of Ollantaytambo, just 5 minutes from the Plaza and all attractions. In the morning after checking your email for we have WiFi throughout the house, enjoy a tasty breakfast of eggs, fresh warm rolls and local organic jams. During the day, we'd be happy to help you organize unique excursions to amazing local sites that are off the beaten path. In the evening, enjoy a cup of warm tea from our kitchen, watch a DVD in our cozy living room or gaze at the stars from our rooftop nook. Finally retire to our beautiful and traditional Quechua (Inkan) handcrafted beds with high quality mattresses for a good night's sleep. Once you've stayed with us you will know why we are called Casa de Wow!!!
Kuka Room…. Kuka is quechua for coca. This room has high vaulted ceilings with sky lights for a bright airy feel and a window with a view of the Temple of the Condor. It has a wonderful "Wow made" tree frame bunk bed with top quality mattresses and wool blankets for warmth and natural comfort. . This room uses shared bath which has gas-fed 24 hour hot water shower.
Location Information:
Once considered an afternoon stop-over on the way to MachuPicchu, more and more visitors are deciding to make Ollantaytambo the primary destination from whence they can experience the Sacred Valley and all it has to offer. In contrast to Cuzco, the small village atmosphere, lower altitude and easy access to incredible hikes has prompted many of our guests to feel more comfortable here and thus extend their stay. Ollantaytambo is called "the last living Inka village" as it has been continuously inhabited since the 13th century. It was the town for the Inkan Nobility and High Priests and once you are here it is hard not to notice the magic. So come walk the streets of gigantic jigsaw stonework or try some chichi (Inka Beer- fermented corn) with the indigenous people who are the direct descendents of the Inkas. Let us introduce you to some of these wonderful local people who can guide you into their world, provide cultural connection within traditional communities where tourist seldom venture and lead you on stunning treks through the natural wonder.
House Rules….
Quiet Hours between 11pm and 8am. Ollantaytambo means "resting place" in quechua and Casa de Wow!!! honors this title with quiet hours to ensure a good night's sleep.
Reception hours are between 8am and 11pm. If you have a late train from MachuPicchu arriving at 11:30pm please let us know .
Breakfast hours are from 8 am to 9:30 am. If our guests have an early departure we are happy to make breakfast ToGo.
We have a fully equipped kitchen for use during the day (between 8am and 11pm) with a large selection of teas to enjoy and good filtered water. We request that after use guests tidy up. We request that guests store any open food in the kitchen and suggest labeling.
We have WiFi in every room and a desk top computer in the living room for communal use. There is no password.
Otherwise we just want all of our guests here at Casa de Wow!!! to make themselves at home.

I had a wonderful experience at Casa de Wow in Ollanta. When I first arrived it was dark and I was not sure where to go so I called and asked for directions but they insisted on meeting me in the plaza to escort me and help with my bags. Also, one morning I left early for Machu Picchu and they packed my breakfast which was so nice to have for the long trip. Overall, very friendly atmosphere and comfortable beds. Highly recommend staying here!
I have great time staying in Casa de Wow.
Short walk from the Plaza de Armas, it is typical old stone house with amazing decoration and ambience. Hand made wooden beds is the rooms, traditional rugs and blankets and bright colors give the house character and traditional charm.
Huge kitchen has everything you might need and breakfast is served with smile and great kindness.
I stayed in one of the twin rooms with great views over the Inka ruins; my room also had a roof window giving plenty of light.
It is a lovely, charming place, if you are looking for typical Peruvian experience; you should not look any further!
The name says it all
I loved this little old Inca town. It's charm, friendly and helpful people and of course this little gem of a b&b
The place was a little difficult to find but with the help of some locals I found the place. It was super eclectic and unique! Small quarters but very well managed. The pictures were spot on and my room even had a skylight that was great to listen to the rain as you fall asleep in the hand made beds. I was pleasantly surprised to see the ruins of the city right outside my rooms window. Breakfast was typical and delicious and the host was very willing to accommodate whatever you needed.
Just note that neither the manager nor any of the workers that spoke any English so make sure that won't be an issue.
El alojamiento no estuvo mal pero estaba algo lejos para cargar con una valija, el sr fue muy amable.
This is a lovely home in Ollantaytambo, kept by thoughtful and wonderful people. There is such a good feeling about entering this place, you instantly feel at home. They rooms are comfortable, and after running around like mad through Bolivia and Peru, we had the best sleep on these beautiful wooden-framed beds. The water in the shower runs as hot as you wish. The terrace gives incredible panoramic views of the Sacred Valley, and if you're lucky, you will hear a more insightful story about the surroundings from your host. Thanks so much for a great stay!

About the Host, Casa De Wow!!!
Casa de Wow!!! began as the creative venture of Winn and Wow.
Winn comes from Asheville, NC in the United States. She had a three month trip planned for Peru and upon arriving in Ollantaytambo was unable to stick to her return schedule. She found the traditional culture, natural beauty and ease of life in Ollanta irresistible. Winn is into permaculture, progressive consciousness, divine feminine and spiritual adventure.
Wow (aka Roberto Canal Luna) is a native quechua of Ollantaytambo. His family heritage traces back to the days of the Inkas and his family home here retains original Inkan stonework. Wow is an incredible creative artist. He works in many mediums, though fabric art is his first passion.
Winn and Wow now have an awesome team helping them manage the Casa. Mariko and Suenos are our new part-time administrators. Mariko is from Seattle, WA and a recent graduate from art school. Suenos is a local guide and from a small community in the mountains above Ollantaytambo. Sonia is our "mama" of the Casa and in charge of all domestics chores. She is from Ollantaytambo, married with three young adult children. Wider is the main Casa de Wow!!! tour guide and for the past three years has led many of our guests on wonderful local adventures. He is from Ollantaytambo.
All of our team who are from Ollantaytambo speak Quechua.... those of us from the states are learning... slowly ;-)

The hut where the song was filmed is part of Hotel Highland Park in Gulmarg, where Shahrukh Khan is staying presently.
A source told IANS, "SRK flew to Gulmarg in a helicopter from Pahalgam on Monday to complete the rest of his shooting schedule. He will be holding a half-hour interaction with the press in Srinagar on Sep 6 before taking a flight out of the Valley."
In the movie, Shahrukh Khan is playing the role of an army officer Samar. Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will play his leading ladies.

Ordered agitator repair kit ( PS334650). The images provided were very helpful as I was able to compare old assembly with new parts. Very simple repair. (Note: Please provide the grease in the kit!!) I searched the grease PN and was told that the grease was $14.00!! That was more than the replacement kit!Other than that, it was a good experience. It could have been perfect.

Big Fogg Misting Fans Commissioned for UFL Game Championship Game
TEMECULA, Calif., Nov. 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The United Football League has commissioned Big Fogg(TM) to provide Heating Benches & Radiant Heaters at its annual Championship Game in Omaha, Nebraska over Thanksgiving Day weekend. Big Fogg will supply equipment on both sidelines for the battle between the Florida Tuskers and Las Vegas Locomotives. The equipment will provide comfort and protection from the cold for the football players at the game on Saturday, November 27, 2010.
Brendan Rowe, VP of Football Administration for the UFL has been working with Big Fogg since his days as an executive with the Cleveland Browns in the early 2000′s. Rowe states "We always use Big Fogg to supply sideline heating and cooling. Big Fogg sideline cooling and heating systems are by far the best performing in the marketplace and their technicians are reliable, professional and easy to work with. Big Fogg keeps our players safe and protected from excessive heat or cold."
The weekend of Thanksgiving 2010 will be a busy one for Big Fogg.
Our heating benches and radiant heaters will be on the sidelines for Texas & Texas A&M, Iowa & Minnesota, Louisville & Rutgers, Cincinnati & Connecticut, Stanford & Oregon State and Michigan & Ohio State. Big Fogg's Misting Fans will also be working at games including UCLA & Arizona State, USC & Notre Dame. Big Fogg has been hired by Oregon for its interstate clash with Oregon State on December 4th.
Last week in Hawaii, Big Fogg set up Misting Fans at the San Jose State / Hawaii game. Christopher Miehl, President of Big Fogg joked "Working that game was so grueling. It must have been 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky."
Big Fogg design, builds and installs a variety of outdoor cooling and outdoor heating systems for almost any application. In 2010, Big Fogg's work included a large humidification misting installation for automating the release of misting, based upon temperature and humidity over one mile of high pressure stainless steel lines. During the year, Big Fogg designed, sold and installed dust suppression misting systems, odor control misting, air conditioning cooling, electrical transformer cooling and process and plant worker cooling in factories.
Big Fogg designs, installs, sells and rents custom-designed misting systems and heating systems for sporting venues, business locations, factories and homes. For more information call 888-853-1728 or visit its website at www.bigfogg.com.

Product description
In examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, second edition discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Gypsies, homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the handicapped, and other groups deemed undesirable. With clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocide-purification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living space-and discusses how these goals affected the course of World War II. Including firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, the book is immediate, human, and eminently readable.

Review quote
A book that will likely be required reading in college-level courses for years to come... A detailed overview of the Holocaust. History In Review A meticulous, sensitive account of the Nazi race wars that combines a powerful narrative and explanatory drive at the same time as it illuminates individual lives and fates with searing precision. While giving full weight to the antisemitic core of Nazi racism, Bergen also shows why it claimed so many other groups of victims, and pursues it to its appalling climax in the wars of imperialist conquest and exploitation launched in 1939. This is a distinctive and remarkable achievement, as assured as it is readable. -- Jane Caplan, University of Oxford This precise textbook accomplishes much: it provides a wide-angle view of what the Holocaust was and is in clear historiographical terms, challenges students to think through facts and interpretations surrounding the historical study of the Holocaust, and complements-and is short enough to allow the inclusion of-primary sources in a course. I will use it as long as I can. -- Jeanne Grant, Metropolitan State University

Lazio midfielder Cristian Brocchi retains hope of playing on after suffering a metatarsal injury.
Brocchi has just turned 37 and suffered a potentially career-ending injury after a tackle from Genoa man – and his former teammate – Francelino Matuzalem.
"The doctors gave me hope," Brocchi told Sky Sport Italia after undergoing surgery to reduce a fractured metatarsal bone in his right foot.
"We took a riskier approach to the injury, but one that could give me a chance of returning before the end of the season.
"It would be wonderful to win the Coppa Italia in front of our own fans, so I have set myself that objective of returning to lift the trophy."
Brocchi's agent was highly critical of Matuzalem's challenge and apparent lack of an apology.
"He called me afterwards to clear the air. I was disappointed with the fact he didn't apologise straight away and was frankly perplexed. There are no problems between us.
"I am sorry that the tension was created around this and particularly after my friend Roberto Baronio made a comment because he was upset at seeing me suffer."

A team of 43 persons belonging to 28 families who worked as bonded labourers in a sugarcane farm at Vadakadu near Alangudi, and who were rescued on Sunday, were sent home on Wednesday. The bonded labourers were working in sugarcane fields at Keezhathur village in the district. They are from Villupuram and Cuddalore districts, and Puducherry.
The labourers were rescued following a complaint received by Adivasi Thozhamai Kazhagam. The Kazhagam deputed its coordinator Kanniappan who, after a search in parts of the State, located them at Keezhathur.
Enquiries revealed that the workers had taken about Rs.3,000 and were working as agricultural labourers for harvesting sugarcane in the fields. Muthumari, Revenue Divisional Officer, conducted an enquiry and released the labourers. They were all lodged in a school under the custody of the district administration. C. Manoharan, Collector, made special arrangements for the return of the bonded labourers to their native villages .

Before Israelis vote, peace is not on agenda
This situation leaves many Israelis at a loss over what to do next.
Since most of the Palestinians are now living in autonomous zones inside the West Bank and prevented from entering Israel, and violence has largely subsided, the most attractive option to Israelis seems to be ignoring the issue.
That is what the main opposition party chose to do in this campaign. Labor Party leader Shelly Yachimovich has mostly focused on a populist social message in hopes of attracting working-class citizens who might otherwise vote for the hard-liners. In the past, Labor has been the leader of Israel's peace camp.
Another member of the moderate camp, former TV personality Yair Lapid, argues primarily for ending the costly government subsidies and draft exemptions granted to Israel's ultra-Orthodox minority.
Only one party with national leadership ambitions, the new "Movement" formed by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, has made Mideast peace the centerpiece of its campaign. Polls show the party gaining little traction.
Sarid dismissed current public opinion as a "weather vane" that can easily shift.
"Israel has gone to war seven, eight times. It never despaired of going to war," he said. "If after seven attempts at war you don't despair, and after the first attempt at peace you do, that seems strange, no?"
Whatever the results for individual parties, the operative question is whether all the right-wing parties together can secure at least 61 seats of the 120 in parliament, the minimum for a majority coalition. Although all polls predict they will, several major polls last Friday showed the right with only 63 seats, versus 57 for the parties of the center-left.
Though the trend has been constant, the gap falls close to the margin of error of the polls, and they have been wrong in the past.
Should the right wing and religious parties fail to muster a majority, there will be a mad scramble on the center-left to try to form a coalition on their own. Under such a shocking result, the prime minister could end up being Yachimovich, a former radio journalist who admitted once backing Israel's Communist party.
Netanyahu has maintained a lead with a message that the country needs a tough-minded and experienced leader to face down dangers including the Iranian nuclear program, potentially loose chemical weapons in Syria and the rise of fundamentalist Islam in Egypt and other countries in the Arab Spring.
By comparison, the Palestinian issue seems less important to many Israelis.
Netanyahu's Likud-Yisrael Beitenu alliance is dominated by lawmakers who say the conflict can be managed, but not resolved. The surging pro-settler Jewish Home party has gone even further. It advocates annexation of large chunks of the West Bank, the heartland of any future Palestinian state.
Critics warn that Israelis are ignoring the issue at their peril. First, there are increasing signs that the current lull in violence may be temporary - both because the Palestinian street is getting frustrated and because Abbas' Palestinian Authority may cease the security cooperation which even Israeli officials have credited with the halt in violence.

NRA says Congress will not pass weapons ban
"If they are cured, there ought to be a way out of it," Keene said.
Currently, a person is banned from buying a gun from a licensed dealer if the person is a fugitive, a felon, convicted of substance abuse, convicted of domestic violence, living in the U.S. illegally or someone who "has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution."
States, however, are inconsistent in providing information about mentally ill residents to the federal government for background checks. And, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said some 40 percent of gun sales happen with no background checks, often at gun shows or through private sellers over the Internet or in classified ads.

In Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, author and industry expert Deke McClelland teaches how to take advantage of the wide array of dynamic features in Illustrator CS5. This course demonstrates how to apply these features to paths, groups, and editable text to create professional-quality artwork. The course covers Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color, as well as symbols, gradients, exporting, and integration with Photoshop. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this exercise, I'm going to introduce you to a collection of dynamic effects that I call the path wigglers because what they do is they take a straight segment inside of a path and they wiggle it essentially in a variety of different ways. I've saved my progress as 3D flat fill.ai. I'm going to go ahead and click on this text once again to select it and now what I'd like you to do before we go up to the Effect menu and choose Distort & Transform which is where these commands live and here they are by the way Pucker & Bloat's one, Roughen is another one, then there is also Tweak and Zig Zag and you can play around with them as much as you want, but if you're going to experiment, don't want to be doing it in 3D because it doesn't always work out so well.
I've had problems with the program crashing. So the better idea if you're going to experiment once again with any dynamic effect is to pare down the effects that you've applied so far and all you have to do is just turn some of them off. So I'm going to turn off the 3D Rotate because that's the big one, that's the one that's really computationally intensive and then I'm going to turn off Transform. Now with those two guys off, I'll click on Type once again to make it active, go back up to the Effect menu, choose Distort & Transform and let's try for example, Zig Zag, just so you can get a sense of what these commands are about.
If you want to see it in action, then you can turn on the Preview check box and that is pretty zigzagging there. Now Ridges per segment is going to define how many back and forth zigzags we have per line segment and you don't really know where the line segments are in live type, but they are there because every single character of type is ultimately represented as a path outline, but we must have a lot more segments over on this side for example whatever letters these are over here, on the right side of the text than we do for example in the middle there on this U or whatever that is.
However, you can reduce the number of ridges if you want to by taking that Ridges per segment value down. You also have a Size value, so how much zigging and zagging back and forth is going on, you can either enter that value as an absolute number of points for example or if you select Relative, it's going to change to a percentage, and that is the percent as measured with respect to the size of the segment in the first place. Obviously, if you want less way going which I do then you would take that value down. Finally, you can define what kinds of points are being added virtually here whether they're corner points or whether you're creating smooth points, in which case we get this very blobby effect right here.
Anyway, I don't want that. I am just showing you what's going on. I am going to cancel out. You can experiment on your own with the other guys there that is the Roughen effect and Tweak. I'm going to switch over to Pucker & Bloat because that's the command that I find to be the most successful where this specific text is concerned. And the best way to understand Pucker & Bloat is to apply the command. So I am going to click on Preview to turn it on and by default you're not going to see anything because that value is set to zero. If you make it bigger or you drag this slider over to the right, you are going to bloat. If you make the value smaller that is negative or drag the slider over to left then you are going to pucker.
We're going to start things off by bloating here. I am just going to drag this guy over quite a bit and we end up making the letters entirely illegible at such a high value. However, if you just bloat a little bit, such as in my case 13% then you end up getting some pretty interesting forms going on there. Now the text is puffy, that's not really what I want. I want the opposite. So I would pucker instead. I'll take this value down to something like this. Now if you take it down too far obviously, you're going to get these completely ridiculous spikes and then your letters appear as these tiny letters down here on the inside.
Notice the H right there, is still barely visible, but there're so much other stuff going on that I think it's highly unlikely, anyone would be able to make it out. Anyway, I am going to take this value up to -6, ends up working out pretty well, so just a little bit of puckering and you can see that that moves those edges inward and adds an almost serif defect or otherwise san serif type and I'll go ahead and click OK in order to accept that modification and now that I've applied Pucker & Bloat, I'm going to add 3D Rotate back in and that way we just have a little bit of pain associated with reapplying the command.
We don't have to wait every single time for example I move that slider inside of Pucker & Bloat. That would have been pretty bad and then finally, I'll go ahead and turn on Transform as well to move the text over to the right and to expand its height. Now a note about what's going on here inside the Appearance panel; I was telling you that the attributes build up from the bottom. So we start with this 30 point black stroke, the 24 point brown stroke is on top of it, the 18 point white stroke is on top of that and so on all way up to the fills here.
The effects for some reason go in exactly the opposite order. So Offset Path is assigned first and then Pucker & Bloat and then 3D Rotate and then Transform. Now you may wonder why in the world first of all why in the world, Adobe chose to do it that way? I have no idea, but that is the way it works. But also why does Illustrator decide to slide effects in, in different locations? So why did it put Pucker & Bloat in between Offset Path and the other effects? I really don't know. Now if you want to, you can move it around.
You could grab Pucker & Bloat for example and you could move it to after Transform and we'd end up getting this amazing effect right there. That's actually really cool, this high degree of serration that's going on as if we cut these letters with a knife, however it's not what I want. Pretty interesting, but it's also cutting off the P and you have to watch yourself by the way. Different interactions of values will produce some pretty peculiar effects. So you just need to make sure that none of your letterforms are getting cut off and that don't have weird blob showing up in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, I'm going to grab that Pucker & Bloat and move it back to where it was. It's possible. Illustrator is just really smart about where it puts things, but I do want you to notice that you can move these effects up and down in stack and remember because sometimes it's for important. Remember that the top effects are applied before the bottom effects. In next exercise, we're going to finish off this type with a classic effect, the Drop Shadow, but we'll see that even the common drop shadow takes a very deliberate approach.

Waiting for the court's move after Jan. 1
All eyes are on the Court of Appeals in Manila when it resumes office on Jan. 2.
Suspended Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia and her supporters have placed their hopes in the court to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) and to eventually reverse the order of President Aquino striking her out for six months.
Garcia's petition was filed on Dec. 19, but Christmas and New Year's Eve have passed without relief issued by the court.
The process is not expected to be quick either.
Associate Justice Gabriel Ingles of the CA Cebu station said there should be an "extreme urgency" in order for a court to restrain individuals or groups from performing a specific action.
The case was received and raffled off to the CA 12th division.
Ingles said Garcia has to wait for the return of two of three justices of the 12th division since Associate Justices Vicente Veloso and Jane Lantion are on holiday leave.
Only Associate Justice Eduardo Peralta was around.
He said Peralta, a junior justice, would likely wait for the two other justices to return instead of acting alone.
As a general practice, said Ingles, the court will ask the opposing party to file a comment, in this case the Office of the Solicitor General representing the President, if they don't find merit in the petition for the issuance of a TRO.
A hearing may be called.
Garcia, who is spending her 13th day in the Capitol to protest what she calls an "illegal" suspension order and "power grab"
Garcia was ordered suspended based on an administrative complaint filed by the late Vice Gov. Greg Sanchez in 2010, accusing her of usurpation. After he died in April 2011, his daughter Gigi Sanchez Zaballero pursued the case. Several hearings were held in Cebu, with the governor represented by her daughter Christina Codilla Frasco leading the legal defense team.
On recommendation of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo in July, the Office of the President found Garcia guilty of "grave abuse of authority". /Reporter Ador Vincent S. Mayol

I feel bad for Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, and Anil Kumble. It is cruel that these gifted men should retire without winning a World Cup. And, these men have been denied the World Cup by us.
They have also been denied a normal life, an environment where they could showcase their skills without fear or pressure. They have been denied a professional cricket administration. Nothing in India will or can reach its potential if civil society continues to function the way it does.

'U.S. News' Rates Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services Health Centers in America's Best
Three Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services health care centers earn five-star ratings in "U.S. News & World Report's" Best Nursing Homes of 2014.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB) May 01, 2014
Three Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services health care centers earn five-star ratings in "U.S. News & World Report's" Best Nursing Homes of 2014.
Llanfair Retirement Community (The Living Center) Mount Pleasant Retirement Village (Health Care Center) and Swan Creek Retirement Village (Health Care Center) were recognized in the nation's finest based on health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of care.
Swan Creek Retirement Village's Health Care Center also earned the same five-star ranking in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Llanfair earned the same top ranking in 2013.
Part of Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services' (OPRS) continuing care retirement communities, the nursing centers provide short and long term care, rehabilitation and memory support.
"U.S. News" ranked more than 15,000 nursing homes for the study — only 21 percent of Ohio's homes received the same five-star rating as OPRS' centers.
"To have three OPRS nursing centers receive five stars — the federal government's top ranking — it's clear our team puts caring for residents first," says Connie Tostevin, vice president of nursing services and clinical operations.
"This report guides families toward the best options, but a visit will give you a real sense of and feel for our communities — our reputation for excellence, our loving staff, our innovation," says OPRS Communities President Daniel J. O'Connor.
Llanfair, in Cincinnati, has been helping older adults age successfully since 1957. Mount Pleasant, in Monroe, Ohio, has been offering southwest Ohio's older adults enhanced opportunities for health and life fulfillment since 1953. Swan Creek, in Toledo, has been offering Lucas County's seniors a variety of living options since 1989.

Q: Under the 2-year bring-forward of non-concessional contributions, if a person makes an after-tax contribution of $150,001 when age 64 during the 2013/2014 year, can he continue to contribute the balance of the $450,000 anytime during the next 2 years without having to satisfying the work test?
Answer: In this response, I explain how the bring-forward rule works when making non-concessional super contributions, how the special rules work that apply if you're aged 63 or 64, and an explanation of the work test for over-65s.
The short answer to your question is 'no': you cannot continue making super contributions beyond the age of 65, unless you satisfy a work test, although special contribution rules apply when an individual is aged 63 or 64.
In addition, anyone aged 65 or over can only make non-concessional contributions up to the annual cap each year, before penalties apply.
The special rules that apply when an individual is aged 63 or 64 mean that 'yes', an individual can bring-forward up to 2 years of non-concessional contributions in the year that they turn 63 or 64, but that doesn't mean they can make super contributions beyond age 65 without satisfying a work test. Further, the bring-forward rule operates only when a person is under the age of 65.
Note: I suggest you also read my articles Turning 65: Maxing out the after-tax contributions cap and Super contributions: Turning 65 part-way through the year, explaining a strange quirk in the work test rules where an individual is under the age of 65 at the start of a financial year, but makes a super contribution after they turn 65 in that same financial year.
For the benefit of other readers, I will now provide a fuller response and explain how the 'bring forward' rules work for all age groups under the age of 65. The response I provide is of a general nature and you will need to confirm your personal circumstances with the ATO, or an accountant/adviser.
Bring-forward rules – a quick summary
The annual non-concessional (after-tax) contributions cap is $150,000 (for the 2013/2014 year) and $180,000 (for the 2014/2015 year), but individuals under the age of 65 can 'bring forward' up to 2 years of non-concessional contributions. In other words, an individual can contribute up to $450,000 in one year (for the 2013/2014 year) and up to $540,000 in on year (from the 2014/2015 year) representing the contributions cap for three years.
If you're under the age of 65, as soon as an individual contributes more than $150,000 (for the 2013/2014 year) in a financial year, say, $160,000, or even $150,001, then such an amount automatically triggers the bring forward rules for the following two years. For example, if Bill makes a non-concessional contribution of $160,000 in the 2013/2014 year, then he can make up to $290,000 in non-concessional contributions in total over the following financial years (2014/2015 and 2015/2016), taking the amount over the 3 years to $450,000.
Note: The annual non-concessional cap for the 2014/2015 year is $180,000 which means by using a bring-forward you could make a super contribution of up to $540,000 during the 2014/2015 year. If you trigger the bring-forward during the 2013/2014 year, then the maximum amount you can contribute over the 3-year period (2013/2014, 2014/2015, and 2015/2016) is $450,000 due to triggering the bring-forward in the 2013/2014 year.
The following paragraph is an edited extract from SuperGuide's Your 2013/2014 guide to non-concessional (after-tax) contributions, where I provide three examples of how the 'bring forward' rules can work:
…Let's look at three examples:
- A $450,000 non-concessional contribution in one year: If you make a $450,000 non-concessional (after-tax) contribution to your super fund during the 2013/2014 year, say on 15 March 2014, you're bringing forward two years of contributions for the purposes of the non-concessional contributions cap. You then cannot make another non-concessional contribution until July 2016 (that is, the 2016/2017 year).
- A $300,000 non-concessional contribution in one year: If you make a $300,000 after-tax contribution during the 2013/2014 year, say on 15 March 2014, that only brings forward one year of contributions, but it means you trigger the bring-forward rules for the next two years. You then can only make another $150,000 in non-concessional contributions during the two-year period that ends on 30 June 2016.
- A $180,000 non-concessional contribution in one year: If you make a $180,000 after-tax contribution during the 2013/2014 year, say on 15 March 2014, the $30,000 above the annual $150,000 cap triggers the bring-forward rules, which means over the next two years, you can make only $270,000 in non-concessional contributions.
When you're aged 63 or 64
By making a non-concessional contribution that is greater than the annual cap, you automatically trigger the bring-forward rules when you're under the age of 65.
Special rules apply if you're aged 63 or 64 and you want to make a non-concessional contribution in a financial year that is greater than $150,000 (for the 2013/2014 year) or $180,000 (for the 2014/2015 year). The difficulty for an individual aged 63 or 64, who intends to contribute up to the maximum allowable in the following 2 years, is that they will reach the age of 65 after one year (if aged 64), and after two years (if aged 63). The super rules indicate that anyone aged 65 or over who wants to make a super contribution in a financial year, must satisfy a work test in the financial year in which they intend to contribute.
Note: For an individual who is aged 63 or 64, the bring-forward rules work in the following way: An individual can make up to $450,000 for the 2013/2014 year (or up to $540,000 for the 2014/2015 year) in a single year representing one or two years of contributions over a period when that person would have been 65, without having to satisfy a work test during those years (because the contribution was made when the individual was 63 or 64, under the bring-forward rules). This rule doesn't mean that the individual can actually make super contributions as part of the bring-forward rules in those later years. A bring-forward can only be triggered, and utilised, by someone under the age of 65 (or by someone who was 64 on the 1 July of a financial year and makes the super contribution after turning 65 in that financial year – for this exception see SuperGuide article Super contributions: Turning 65 part-way through the year).
Background: Anyone aged 65 or over must satisfy a work test, before contributing. If you're aged 65 or over (but under the age of 75), you can make super contributions, including non-concessional contributions of up to $150,000 for the 2013/2014 year (and up to $180,000 from the 2014/2015 year) annually, if you're at least gainfully employed on a part-time basis. In short, you must work for at least 40 hours in a period of not more than 30 consecutive days in the financial year in which you plan to make a super contribution. For more information on contributing to super after the age of 65 see article: For over-65s: Ten super tips when making contributions.
When you're aged 65 or over
The 'bring forward' rules are not available to Australians aged 65 or over. If you're over the age of 65, and you contribute more than $150,000 in non-concessional contributions for the 2013/2014 year, then expect to get hit with an excess contributions tax bill, or be prepared to withdraw the excess contributions and have the earnings on those excess super contributions added to your tax return.
If you're aged 65 years or over, what this means is that the most you can make in non-concessional (after-tax) contributions is $150,000 (for 2013/2014 year) or $180,000 (for the 2014/2015 year) in a single financial year, unless you're willing to cop penalty tax of 46.5% on the excess non-concessional contribution, or have the hassle of withdrawing some of those super contributions and paying income tax on the earnings. I explain the implications of exceeding the non-concessional contributions cap and penalty tax in the SuperGuide article Excess contributions: Happy ending to a horror story .

It may be too early to think about making it to the postseason in late October, but something different is happening with the 2012 Sweetwater volleyball team ŌĆö itŌĆÖs beating its opponents regularly and convincingly, no longer seemingly content to extend its matches by a game or two.
The latest example came Tuesday when the team finally came home from a three-week-long road swing to entertain Colorado City.
Wednesday's forecast is looking hot once again with a high near 101 and mostly sunny skies. South-southeast winds will be at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Tonight, we'll see a 20% chance of rain and thunderstorms and partly cloudy skies and a low around 74. Winds from the southeast will come in around 10 mph.
Stay tuned to your local weather by heading on over to weather.gov.
Sweetwater Animal Control currently has four dogs available for adoption.
Available for adoption is a Labrador mix and a Pomeranian mix. According to SweetwaterŌĆÖs animal control officer, Don Kite, animals that are picked up are kept for a minimum of three days, but he tries to keep them from a week to 10 days.
Dogs and cats are available for adoption for a $15 fee and the cost of getting the pet vaccinated for rabies.
The pets are required to have their vaccination before they leave to their new homes.
The Sweetwater Chamber of Commerce will hold its monthly Chamber Coffee at 10 a.m., Wednesday, September 5 at Hoyt House, located at 1700 Hoyt Avenue.
Hoyt House is owned by Assisted Living Concepts, with Whitney Ashford as the on-site manager.
Hoyt House is an assisted living facility that offers the comforts of home with the added safety and security loved ones need. They provide nutritious meals three times a day, housekeeping and laundry, and now have a full-time RN. They serve Nolan County and have 16 employees.
A Labor Day event, ŌĆ£Burgers Buy the Pool,ŌĆØ was held on Monday, Sept. 3. The event was held as a fundraiser, hosted by JavaJax in Sweetwater, for the Nolan County Girl Scouts to help with their efforts in restoring the swimming pool at Camp Boothe Oaks.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Friday, Aug. 31, 2012, for a new barbecue restaurant in Roscoe, the Blackland Smokehouse.┬Ā
The restaurant is located on the north side of Broadway in downtown Roscoe between The Wildflower Boutique and Memorial Park.
Long time Nolan County resident, Naurvelle Evans Rogers, at 96 years, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 2, 2012, in Sweetwater. Services are set for 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 6, at McCoy Chapel with Larry Fluitt officiating. Burial will follow in Sweetwater Cemetery. Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday at McCoy Funeral Home.
Pallbearers will be Patrick Gerald, Kendell Cleckler, Jerry Riggs, Bill Stroman, Ronnie Rainey, Dr. Robert Martin, Chad Cleckler and Lance Evans.
Marquees Jenkins has been named as Sweet-water High SchoolŌĆÖs Football Player of the Week.
Jenkins, a 165-pound junior running back and linebacker, ran for a team-high 101 yards in season-opening 23-13 win on Friday over Eastland on just nine carries. He also had four solo tackles, five assisted tackles and one pass hurry on defense.
BLACKWELL ŌĆö After failing to get a win on the field for nearly two years, Blackwell finally celebrated a victory ŌĆö and a lopsided one at that ŌĆö here Friday as the Hornets dominated Westbrook, 54-6, in their season opener.
Blackwell didnŌĆÖt waste a lot of time taking care of the Wildcats, either, as the game was ended at halftime by Six-ManŌĆÖs 45-point mer-cy rule.

Google Project Shield to Protect Sensitive Sites from DDoS Attacks
DDoS attacks have been a problem for nearly as long as the Internet has been a thing, but they're difficult to visualize and understand on a practical level. A whole bunch of traffic is going to a Web site. So what? Now, Google and Arbor Networks are collaborating on a project that shows exactly how large and damaging some of these attacks are, and who's attacking who at any given moment.
The Digital Attack Map, launched Monday at the Google Ideas Summit, gives users a clear picture of ongoing DDoS attacks on a world map, and also enables them to dig into the details of a given attack. Users can see the origin country and destination of each attack, the maximum volume of traffic, which ports are being attacked, how long the attack has been going on and what kind of attack it is. The data is coming from Arbor's ATLAS monitoring system, and is updated every day.

It's not just a problem for large, global organizations and service providers, but anyone with an Internet connection can be caught in the crossfire of an attack. The 'collateral damage' of an attack against a large organization or service provider are the people that rely on those networks every single day," Dan Holden of Arbor said.
