AMBER J. DREA, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT/ CROSS-RESPONDENT,v.MARQUES T. BOWE, SHARON A. BOWE, INDIVIDUALLY, JOINTLY, SEVERALLY, AND/OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS/CROSS-APPELLANTS.AAA MID-ATLANTIC INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, DEFENDANT/INTERVENOR-APPELLANT/ CROSS-RESPONDENT.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Camden County, L-8421-04.
Argued September 29, 2008
Before Judges Winkelstein and Chambers.
In this verbal threshold case, defendants Marques T. Bowe and Sharon A. Bowe and defendant-intervenor AAA Mid-Atlantic Insurance Company of New Jersey appeal from the jury verdict in favor of plaintiff Amber Drea. Defendants and defendant-intervenor contend that the trial court erred in allowing plaintiff's treating chiropractor to testify to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) report he received in the course of treating plaintiff indicating that plaintiff had two bulging discs and in allowing him to testify on the issue of permanency. Defendants also maintain that the trial court erroneously entered a judgment that exceeded the limitation on damages in the "stip-cap" agreement reached by the parties before trial.
We hold that the trial court erred when it allowed the chiropractor to testify to the MRI, and to the extent the chiropractor's permanency opinion rested on the MRI, it was inadmissible. On remand, the chiropractor may testify to permanency provided a proper foundation is laid for that opinion. Further, we conclude that the "stip-cap" agreement should have been enforced. We reverse and remand for a new trial in accordance with this opinion.
This lawsuit arises out of a motor vehicle accident that took place on March 26, 2003, when plaintiff's vehicle was hit in the rear by a vehicle driven by defendant Marques T. Bowe. Defendant-intervenor, plaintiff's underinsured motorist carrier, intervened in the case pursuant to Zirger v. Gen. Accident Ins. Co., 144 N.J. 327 (1996).
Prior to trial, the parties reached a "stip-cap" agreement in which defendants conceded liability in exchange for a limitation on plaintiff's recovery in damages. Plaintiff agreed to a $100,000 cap on her damages. Under the agreement, defendants would not be responsible for more than $50,000 in damages, which was the limit of their liability insurance, and defendant-intervenor could not be liable for more than $50,000 in damages, which fell within its coverage limitations. Plaintiff's recovery could not exceed $100,000 in total. Notably, no party waived the right to appeal from a damages verdict as part of this agreement nor did the parties have any discussions regarding waiver of the right to appeal. The case then went to trial on the issue of damages only.
Plaintiff's claim was governed by the "limitation on lawsuit option," also known as the verbal threshold, set forth in the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act of 1998 ("AICRA"), N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a). A person injured in an automobile accident whose claim is governed by AICRA may not recover for non-economic loss unless the claim meets one of the six statutory categories. Ibid. One of those statutory categories is a "permanent injury," defined as an injury that occurs "when the body part or organ, or both, has not healed to function normally and will not heal to function normally with further medical treatment." Ibid. In addition, in order to pass the verbal threshold, the claim must be supported by a physician's certification that "shall be based on and refer to objective clinical evidence." Ibid. This statutory language has been interpreted as incorporating into the claim the requirement that a finding of a qualifying injury be supported by "objective credible evidence." DiProspero v. Penn, 183 N.J. 477, 495 (2005). Thus, to recover damages, plaintiff was required to prove with objective, credible evidence that she sustained a permanent injury.
At trial, plaintiff's treating chiropractor, Dr. Anthony Calzaretto, testified about plaintiff's injuries and treatment. Licensed as a chiropractor in New Jersey, Dr. Calzaretto was qualified by the court to testify as an expert in the field of chiropractic care. Over the objections of the defense, he was permitted to testify that he had reviewed plaintiff's MRI report showing bulging discs at C4-C5 and C5-C6. Plaintiff's counsel indicated that he was not asking the chiropractor to review the MRI films themselves but only to testify to the reports he relied upon. On cross-examination, when asked if he had personally reviewed the MRI films, Dr. Calzaretto could not say definitively whether or not he had reviewed the films themselves, as well as the report, although it was his policy to do so. He testified that plaintiff's loss of curvature in her lumbar and cervical spine and the two disc bulges at C4-C5 and C5-C6 constituted objective clinical findings indicating a permanent injury caused by the accident.
The jury found that plaintiff had sustained a permanent injury proximately caused by the accident and supported by objective credible medical evidence and awarded her $250,000 in damages. A judgment was entered in favor of plaintiff in that amount. Defendant-intervenor joined in defendants' motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, in the alternative, a new trial. That motion was denied by the trial court, and this appeal followed.
On appeal, defendants and defendant-intervenor maintain that the trial court erred in allowing the chiropractor to testify to the MRI results and to testify on the issue of permanency. Defendants also maintain that the trial court failed to mold the verdict in accordance with the pretrial "stip-cap" agreement they had reached with plaintiff in which they agreed to stipulate to liability in exchange for a $50,000 limitation on his liability for damages. Plaintiff contends that at trial the defense waived its right to challenge the chiropractor's testimony when it agreed to go forward with the case after the trial court indicated that the case would be mistried.
We first address whether defendants' objections to Dr. Calzaretto's testimony about the MRI were waived at trial.
During the testimony of Dr. Calzaretto, two issues were raised by the defense, namely, Dr. Calzaretto's testimony about the MRI studies*fn1 and the failure of plaintiff to provide in discovery all of plaintiff's treatment information. The trial court initially was going to declare a mistrial based on plaintiff's failure to provide the discovery. The defense then waived its objections on the discovery issue, but continued to press its objections to the chiropractor's testimony about the MRI. After further discussions on and off the record, the trial court ruled that Dr. Calzaretto could testify to the MRI report. As a result of this ruling, the issue of a mistrial in order to allow plaintiff to obtain a radiologist to read the reports became moot.
The record is clear that the defense's objections to the chiropractor's testimony were preserved. On May 23, 2007, before Dr. Calzaretto was allowed to provide the testimony on the MRI, the trial court and counsel had this colloquoy:
The Court: Now with respect to the other motion that the Court ruled upon yesterday, that is the motion with respect to challenging - the doctor, the chiropractor's testimony regarding the radiology reports, I believe that was it, of which the Court denied that motion, but the record is preserved that counsel maintains their objection to the doctor chiropractor who testified with respect to the radiology reports. Is that correct?
Ms. Tilghman [counsel for defendant Bowe]: That is correct, Your Honor.
Mr. Benedetti [counsel for defendant-intervenor]: That is correct.
The Court: Is that correct, Counsel?
Mr. Horiates [counsel for plaintiff]: That is correct.
Thus, the record indicates that the defense did not waive its objection to the chiropractor's testimony about the MRI studies.
We next address whether the trial court abused its discretion when it allowed Dr. Calzaretto to testify to the findings in the MRI report about plaintiff. Under New Jersey law, a chiropractor may not perform an MRI test. N.J.A.C. 13:44E-1.1(c)(4). Further, we find no proofs in the record that Dr. Calzaretto had any specialized training and experience qualifying him to read MRI films. On voire dire, he acknowledged that he did not have any specialty in reading MRI films nor was he an expert in radiology. Based on the record, Dr. Calzaretto did not have the qualifications to testify to his interpretation of the MRI films.
However, Dr. Calzaretto had the report from the radiologist who read the MRI films and found the two herniations. Dr. Calzaretto claimed that he relied on this report in formulating his opinion. The defense contends that the trial court erred when it allowed Dr. Calzaretto to testify about the findings in this report and to reply upon it when reaching his opinion that plaintiff sustained two disc bulges in the accident.
We agree. In Brun v. Cardoso, 390 N.J. Super. 409 (App. Div. 2006), a verbal threshold case, we upheld a trial court ruling prohibiting a chiropractor from testifying to an MRI report. The Brun court stated that "on objection, interpretation of an MRI may be made only by a physician qualified to read such films, and that the MRI report could not be bootstrapped into evidence through Dr. Corey's [the chiropractor's] testimony." Id. at 421. The Brun court found that the MRI report was inadmissible as a business record under N.J.R.E. 803(c)(6), due to the complexity of MRI interpretations, and it also rejected plaintiff's N.J.R.E. 703 argument. Id. at 421-24.
This ruling in Brun is consistent with the earlier case of Nowacki v. Cmty. Med. Ctr., 279 N.J. Super. 276 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 141 N.J. 95 (1995). In that case, we determined that material in otherwise admissible hospital records regarding the diagnosis of a pathological fracture and the cause of the fractures was properly redacted because it concerned "a complex diagnosis involving the critical issue in dispute as opposed to an uncontested diagnosis or insignificant issue." Id. at 284. We further explained that "medical opinions in hospital records should not be admitted under the business records exception where the opponent will be deprived of an opportunity to cross- examine the declarant on a critical issue such as the basis for the diagnosis or cause of the condition in question." Id. at 282-83. For similar reasons, the experts could not refer to the redacted material under N.J.R.E. 703. Id. at 284-85.
Since this error in the evidentiary ruling went to a critical issue in the case and was "clearly capable of producing an unjust result," R. 2:10-2, we reverse.
We note that the defense also contends that the trial court erred in allowing Dr. Calzaretto to testify to his opinion on permanency, on the basis that the certificate of permanency he submitted was a net opinion. Since this issue may be raised on retrial, we address it here. The certificate of permanency was provided in order to comply with the requirement of N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a). At trial, the certificate itself was not admitted into evidence. Rather, Dr. Calzaretto was permitted to testify that plaintiff sustained a permanent injury, and he provided a factual basis for that opinion, noting plaintiff's age in his discussion of permanency as well as the loss of curvature in plaintiff's lumbar and cervical spine and the two bulging discs in the cervical spine. See Rosenberg v. Tavorath, 352 N.J. Super. 385, 401 (App. Div. 2002) (stating that "[a]s construed by applicable case law, N.J.R.E. 703 requires that an expert's opinion be based on facts, data, or another expert's opinion, either perceived by or made known to the expert, at or before trial"). On retrial, Dr. Calzaretto may testify to permanency provided a proper foundation is laid for that opinion.
Finally, we address plaintiff's position that she is entitled to the full verdict despite the "stip-cap" agreement because defendant took this appeal. We find this position untenable. Plaintiff concedes that she agreed to limit her damages to $100,000. Plaintiff also acknowledges that no agreement was reached waiving the right to appeal and indeed, the question of appeal was not discussed. The "stip-cap" agreement thus did not provide that any party waived the right to appeal. Further, during the trial, when the dispute arose concerning the admissibility of the chiropractor's testimony about the MRI, defense counsel expressly stated that it was an appealable issue and plaintiff's counsel did not object which suggests that everyone understood the damage trial was subject to appeal.
Absent an agreement waiving the right to appeal, plaintiff provides no rationale for depriving defendants of the agreed limitation on damages because they appealed the verdict. She merely states that the appeal "went against the spirit of the 'stip-cap' agreement." Further, if the appeal somehow negates the agreement, plaintiff does not explain why only part of the agreement is negated, that is why the limitation on damages is negated and not also the stipulation on liability. Plaintiff seeks to keep her benefit in the bargain while depriving defendants of the agreement's protection. Thus, this appeal did not vitiate plaintiff's agreement to the "stip-cap."
Reversed and remanded for retrial in accordance with this opinion.

(Open, Lizzy) I had just gotten home from a long day of work. One of my co-workers had called in sick, so I had offered to take her shift as well. I leaned against the wall of my dorm and slid down it, feeling absolutely exhausted. Just then I heard someone knock on my door and I smiled. "Come on in!" I called weakly.

We enjoyed Sidney for WYD 2008 No. It was very comfortable.
Very good, spacious bathrooms with a separate shower. Overall, hotels in Sydney are quite expensive.
Clan/tidy room Reception staff not particularly friendly
room, the staff, and the location were all great nothing
location was great, the room was beautiful, friendly staff
Central location difficult for car unloading in market street and small street lobby
The location and the staff are about the only likeable characteristics of this hotel. I paid $249 for an Advantage room requsted 2 double beds only to be told on checkin that the room only had one double bed. I then had to pay $50 to upgrade to an Executive room (a better room apparently) I failed to see the value which also included free drinks at the bar from 5.30-7.30 and breakfast which was the worst I have experienced at any hotel.
Excellent central location, walkable to harbour and train station and monorail close by. 14 dollar by train to airport
perfect, with a first class concierge service
Spacious room Delivery charges for room services
Totally I evaluate this hotel better than Grace Hotel nearby. Hotel's dining, serving Indian dishes every night is bit tiresome for the guest staying 10 days like me.
The fantastic staff, who were very friendly and helpful. It was also great that I was allowed to check into my room really. I really appreciated it. The location of the hotel is also superb! I had trouble opening my door on several occasions. It often took several swipes of my card to access my room. I also was confused about the card required to access the fridge of food and drinks on my floor. The information I was given on check-in indicated that I had received one as a matter of course, but I did not get one and was worried about being charged $10 for losing something I never received.
It was great being so close to the centre of Sydney. The staff were very helpfull and nothing was a problem.
Beds were comfortable. Good selection at breakfast - although breakfast room very crowded on occasions. Bathroom was rather basic. Fairly long walk into the centre of town (although fairly convenient for China Town restaurants)
We found it was ideally suited being so close to the CBD and the many attractions in that part of the city. No
Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. I found the room expensive for the night, though understand it is likely the high season and also a Saturday night. However, I have stayed in many hotels much nicer for less in Sydney and internationally.....no real complaints though. I would stay here again for sure if the rate was more reasonable.
Great hotel , Very frendly staff
The bed plus the espresso machine
Super helpful staff and great central location. WiFi was only 30 minutes free a day per room.
Closeness to the public transport and to dining facilities No
Convenient location Bed uncomfortable
Location to Darling Harbour We didn't get the coffee machine as advertised ???? no big deal.
Good location No complementary bottle of water for guest
Excellent. Strongly recommended !
Location--close to Central Station. The bed was really uncomfortable. I hadn't slept in nearly 24 hours, and I could barely sleep on this bed. The rest of the room served its purpose moderately well, but was in desperate need of a bit of color/an upgrade.
Location The walls were very thin. I could hear other people's t.v.'s, talking on their phones etc. I even had the extraordinary experience of sitting up in bed watching tv and getting a massive bump in the head from the people in the next room hitting the wall. I was pushed forward like when you stop suddenly in traffic! Certainly a first for me!
Basically, the only good thing about it is that it's in the city centre. It's expensive, ugly, uncomfortable, low quality service and food.
Great location Tiles in shower need good scrub,carpet dirty. workmen started renovations at 7am in room next door and woke us up.upon mentioning this to reception at checkout,the person at checkout didn't seem to care
Fantastic location, 2 minute walk from Central Station, it was good value for money, in essence, the hotel did what it said on the tin. Room was smaller than I would have liked but for the price, I can't complain too much! N/A
Very convenient to central station and for the free bus to Circular Quay
The price was very reasonable and the facility was really good. The location was perfect. It was located in the main street, Gorge St, and it was really convenient. As it is located in the center of the city, there are so many shops around this hotel and I could go and have meals easily.
all roung good budget accomodation with neat clean facilities with helpful staff. Close to rail transport a nd walking distance to cbd
location, to shops/railway station, and efficient reception, courtesy from staff good value for money, for an overnight stay before flying out not to keen on having $50 frozen on our bankcard account
Location, not too expensive for a 5 star, good restaurant and breakfast buffet. The sheets were too heavy I found, I struggled to get comfortable.
Simply everything. The hotel is a stones throw away from Circular Quay, and is in walking distance to the iconic Sydney Opera House. There are lots of awesome shopping venues all around; with food galore and convenience stores to choose from. There are several tours that have starting points only steps away; including ferry tours and dinner tours. I highly recommend the harbour view rooms. The view is breathtakingly beautiful. You really can't go wrong with this hotel. Absolutely nothing not to like.
Very convince
Room very clean and comfortable My second reception experience - arrived early and room not ready. Very helpful chap checked me in, checking photo ID and giving me spa key so I could freshen up after long flight. Promised a text when room ready and promised this would be within 2 hours. Returned from run to see if room ready having not received text in spite of two and a half hours having elapsed. Female receptionist insisting in seeing ID again which seemed utterly superfluous to requirements. When asked why I hadn't received a text she said that the "room has just this moment become ready". Amazing coincidence. ended up being late for an appointment because she was so reluctant to relinquish the key without me having to go and find my photo ID even though it was obvious I had already checked in and knew all the details.
Ideal location for visiting Sydney sites and restaurants. Helpful staff.
Friendly and helpful staff. Great location, 10 minute walk to the opera house. You can see the harbour bridge from the hotel street. They have FREE money exchange (US dollar to AD dollar). Super convenient.
Beautiful room, comfortable bed, great fitness center. Location was exactly what I wanted and needed for a couple of days in Sydney...close to everything! Felt safe, and was treated wonderfully by all staff. I REALLY have an issue with the use of so many plastic water bottles. It is nice to have them in the room for many, I know...and to have them to carry around, as well. But...in the gym? C'mon. Use a filtered water system, or at least have one available so that when you run out of your own water, you can refill it without having to use yet another plastic water bottle. For the cost of the bottles and the disposal, reusable ones could probably be provided to every guest.
Location, service and ammenities were great. Staff was very welcoming Facade could use an update but the inside is very nice
Bellmen were good, pillows Received worst room imagined. Low floor, dirty windows, bad views, receptionist lied about restaurant open at 10PM, Burger cost $30 plus tip, water in room was $10, room was expensive at about $300/night, no loyalty program with airlines except Qantas, shower was open with no door, no microwave, no real conveniences, small room.
The front desk staff sent us a complimentary bottle of champagne to put room because we were celebrating our honeymoon. They even included a very nice personalive card, too!
The location of the hotel was great. The Mantra 2 is located on George St., which is the main street in downtown city. The hotel is located less than three blocks from the Opera house, ferry port, the rocks, and Coles supermarket. What a place, what a staff!
convenient location housekeeping staff knocking at 9am on the day of check out?!
Staff, rooms facilities were excellent and I would recommend this hotel to family and friends.
was pleasantly surprised at the amount of applicances we got for a studio room. perfect location. 24hr reception i believe.
Professionalism of staff. Twinings teabags. Good sound insulation from other rooms. Beeping noise from a nearby garage roller door or something similar. Our room smelt of cigarette smoke and there was an unemptied ashtray on the balcony so we asked to be moved, this was professionally handled by reception desk. Saw one staff member lighting up a cigarette within a metre of front door of hotel one evening, and it is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel.
Good location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was large and comfortable.
Central location, close to shopping, entertainment, food etc. Additional request included in booking request was not actioned - or even acknowledged. When requested, was acted upon poorly.
The staff were great the location was great. The oven and the dishwasher was covered in mould. We did not use the kitchen as it was very dirty, the bathrrom was not that clean neither.
ordered room service for myself and friends on my 2nd night. The food was so bad I did not eat or drink anything further during my 10 day stay.
Excellent location with very comfortable accomodations for a family.
The location is great. The hotel is close to everything from shops, supermarket, office, parks, restaurants. The room is spacious and the bed was very comfy. Two towels of 4 were badly washed. They still have some stain in them. Breakfast could use more variety for the price they are charging. Some staffs at the conscious were not friendly.
The hotel is a a great facility and in the middle of downtown Prices in all of Sydyn are extremely high. Parking was outrageous
I loved everything from the location of the hotel to the luxurious rooms and the beautiful architecture! The service was excellent! Nothing.
Gym and Executive floor accessorites Nothing
The courtesy of staff and its location The rooms are quite small and the drains in the showers don't work well
Good customer service. Slightly long check in time.
Outstanding and polite service; rooms were serviced as we indicated a desire with the appropriate "light" and excellent Executive lounge!
Hotel staff were very helpful and catered to all needs, the location is excellent for shopping & night clubs.... and the best was the Buffet Breakfast
Great location, some staffs were very nice and helpful During my last day I called for Bell to pick up my belongings but I waited 15mins and no one turn up so I end up carried them down myself.
Quality hotel. Valet parking was efficient, rooms were as advertised i.e. clean, modern with a relaxing feel air-conditioning noisy when actually trying to fall asleep
location nothing
Staff were helpful and friendly. The pool was well-maintained. It's a really convenient location to shopping and food. Nothing really
The spa was out of order for our last day
TV in the shower! Nothing
It was my wife's 60th birthday and the little extra touches they did made the stay all the better. Great Hotel.
Everything was clean and well kept. I didn't like that there was no complimentary wifi. I can understanding having caps to minimize streaming but it would be nice to have some basic browsing ability.
Close to the airport Friendly staff Clean Good price Exercise room No restaurants near by other than the two owned by the hotel.
It was comfortable and clean and for the purpose of convenience, it was right at the airport. Found the breakfast buffet a little short of staff. An omelet we ordered, never did come and there seemed to be no one to ask about it around.
Great facilities, good service, good location. Room smelt on cigaretes on ckeck in.
the hotel was great. No problems at all. the only issue is that the rooms were fairly small, but the hotel is in a big city, very close to the airport.
The restaurant food was actually pretty good. I know it's a USA type of complaint but there was no ice and my room service request for it didn't arrive for more than an hour until I then called back and bought a can of soda pop, which arrived thirty minutes later.
Comfortable Room, Friendly Concierge/Front Desk Staff Fish n Chip prices too steep....$26.00 for two bits of fish and semi warm chips!
Great staff. Clean well appointed room. Swimming pool andfitness room a bonus. Airport shuttle good. Restaurant food so so and over priced. Not many other food options.
close to the airport. rooms were clean and comfortable the temperature controls did not seem to work in the room. the restaurant staff were difficult to communicate with in English. food was ok but not great - overpriced for the quality
The location to Sydney Kingsford-Smith airport was very good. The lobby was well kept up and the bell service was quick to unload our bags and bring them to our room. The bathroom in our standard room was well designed, including stone/granite counter tops and new(er) showers and toilets. Room includes a mini-bar. The room was a bit dated (e.g. the lights and fixtures) and the carpet was a bit worn. The mini-bar is a bit expensive, but that's my own fault for using it! The only remaining gripe is that the airport shuttle is not free, it was $6 per person. Also the shuttle stops off at the domestic terminal first, before going to the international terminal, so factor that in when planning your arrival time to the airport.
Good facilities, good restaurant, nicecasual bar, good bed, quiet rooms for airport Pillows - feather werent soft went really hard - need a choice
Pleasant room, quiet, helpful staff
Free upgrade at check in to a room with a harbor view None
Staff very helpful No pool. No bath. Found an old shoe under the bed. Not so clean.
Centrally located, spectacular water view, balcony for fresh air which is so rare for hotels these days. The poor positioning of the shower head and shelf must be a mistake. You need to stand flush against the wall to have a shower.
Convenient location, clean, modern There was a significant construction project blocking the front entrance and the street in front of the hotel during our stay.
Great location We should have been warned that currently the hotel is being refurbished. Perhaps when done it will be alot better
I liked that breakfast was included, staff tried to meet our needs, the jelly beans, and every one was very friendly. The stairs!!!
Location, ideal for the Rock's and access to transport links of Circular Quay. Noisy, room described as cosy, meant tiny! Furniture as old as the hotel. No mirror in room (complaint from wife). Receptionist (Elizabeth) quite rude when dealing with complaints from many quests. Refurbishment work still underway
wonderful position for sightseeing,oldest hotel in the rocks,with the oldest pub two doors away. Next street our cruise ship was docked so we were able to walk on board our ship with our luggage. fantastic no
Good location; decoration; the building; nice and attentive staff. A more generous breakfast.
We chose the wrong time to visit the Russell Hotel, as renovations were going on. However I am sure that in a few weeks time, when they are finished, it will be a very comfortable place to stay. Excellent location.
The location was perfect, the staff were friendly and helpful and it was good value.
The location was good as it was near where our cruise ship left us and the Sydney Bridge as we did the tour. Also, handy to the Rocks weekend markets. The renovations had not been completed and we had not been notified that the lifts would be out and that there was no airconditioning. The ceiling fan was noisy and the bathroom fans from other rooms continually woke us during the night.
The location was good, walking distance to circular quay. The location was good, walking distance to circular quay. Small room, no chairs, expensive. We were brought breakfast to our room and expected to eat it there but there was nowhere to sit or put the tray, just the bed and the floor. No sign of the Acacia restaurant mentioned on the web site description. The hotel was effectively a building site and outside our room everywhere was coated in dust. No normal hotel facilities and we weren't told about the small guest lounge, in which we could have eaten our breakfast.
everything, loved the old world style, the staff are excellent, in fact we intend returning again soon,
close to shops and places of attractions
The room was not very clean
Poor hotel staff, poor service and rates not always as posted.
We were looking for somewhere close to public transport and also within walking distance of the shopping centre. Travelodge has both. We were very happy with our stay and the room was perfect. You must remember this is not luxury accomodation, it is convenient and affordable accomodation. The room was very clean and was serviced as well ( i did not expect that). For the price we paid I would give it 10/10. thank you for a wonderful easy time in a busy city. We chose this hotel for the rate and the location, its perfect.
Stayed the night here in order to get to the airport for a morning flight. The room was clean, staff was friendly. Overall a good place to stay. Would definitely stay again. Like others have said, free wifi is a joke. Was able to download my email and that was it. Also, the elevators were pretty slow in the morning.
the location is good. You can explore the centre of Sydney easily by foot. I think it was quite expensive for the equipment which is very basic.
Room was clean and well laid out - design of room made it easy to use. The bed was very hard
we did not have far to walk to area ie shops,sydney opera house etc some where to get a drink in the evening at the lodge
I loved that the hotel was such good value for Sydney city centre. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the room we stayed in was of a very high standard which was cleaned daily. Nothing
the location Our bed was tiny. I am 5 foot 9 and my husband is 6 foot 2 and both of us had feet hanging over the edge. Very uncomfortable. It was also located right next to the vending machines which were noisy.
Good Location The first room i got had a very very bad smell that didn't go away ... the hotel stuff tried to put some machine there to get the smell out and it didn't work so i had to get another room.
Separate tub and shower. Separate beds available and view. Ease and immediacy of taxis. Free wifi
Great hotel location affording some rooms great views. Excellent bathrooms, comfortable beds. Lots of people obviously love it - maybe it helps if you upgrade to the Horizons Club, though I don't see why you should have to, especially as these rates not always on offer. Reception shambolic: no welcome, no porter, no offer of help with bags, no offer to join loyalty programme, told me the Shangri-La in Singapore is tired and needs updating! No apology for not correctly processing reservation. Horrible view of motorway toll booths. Annoying things in the bedroom like unplugged lamps, missing glasses, grubby hotel directory. Food and beverage not good. Saturday night the locals all book up the top floor restaurant and fill up the adjacent bar. Reserve days in advance or you have no chance. For a drink this leaves the Lobby Bar. Neon-lit chilled food cabinet, no music, no atmosphere, bright lighting. Nasty. Only available food outlet The Cafe. Horrible buffet. Dreadful, expensive, over-rated.
The reception staff were very friendly and efficient coupled with the room service staff who were professional, courteous and friendly. With many people at breakfast it was obvious the staff had difficulty coping with large queues, tables not set properly, inattentive staff.
Breakfast buffet was sumptuous.
Good location Price -- they are "luxury" in price only Also they lie about the construction that goes on there -- they DO work early in the morning before stated repair hours
The staff were amazing, the best hotel staff I have come across in Australia
professional staff and attention to detail and cleanliness
Staff, beds Room, ambience
the staff were very helpful,the food was good , the location was perfect for our purpose . no problems
Close proximity to metro station and that is it. The facility is dirty, Hallways were vacuumed maybe a year or longer away. Large pieces of trash remain in hallway for days. The room service is mediorcre. Literally, they only change towels and straighten the upper most layer of the bed. They do not even tuck the sheets in. They never vacuum the room or wipe surfaces. It is disgusting at this hotel. Cups and glasses used are rinsed. My tea cup remains stained with tea residue that can be easily wiped when I ran my finger over it. When I complained to the front desk, I was told that room service is sourced-out and that is why it is lacking (this is not my problem, I need a clean room). I would never ever ever stay at a travelogue again, and more specifically this hotel at Waynyard. It is very shocking that a hotel which costs a good amount of money is lacking that much.
Location centralized to many must see places in Sydney
The location of the hotel in relation to the other venues to which I was required to visit. This is not a dislike, more of an unpleasant observation. The room and corridors had an air of mustiness about them. Maybe as simple as the carpets need cleaning/freshening.
Excellent location in Sydney. Good lunch special.
the fact that it was central to what we wanted to do We did not stay long enough to make an judgments
Location was great. No WiFi access in rooms. Seemed to be charged for every little thing. Example: Internet access in the lobby business PCs cost $2 for 15 minutes of internet use.
Great location but pretty basic accomodation. They would not allow early check in. No wi-fi in rooms.
The location!! It was only a short stroll to all the main attractions. We were not informed about a deposit prior to arriving and so that was an inconvenience for us. Other than that, it was perfect!
Convenience to city and rail network The TV was next to useless!
It had all the basics of a normal hotel, nothing special. I thought the staff were not very enthusiastic when I checked in. They just seem to be going through the motions.
This is a great hotel! We also stayed at the Intercontinental, but the The Grace is actually alot nicer. It has a unique ambience and feeling to it with the old building, mixed modern/classic interior and sublime staff.
Continuous hot water The pricing for 'room service' I find to be quite over priced and the service in the breakfast cafe area is very slow.
clean comfortable room good location to CBD..the very friendly and competent staff theywere all very efficient .They made you feel welcome and such pleasant manners great staff nothing
Location was fantastic Everything was very clean and worked in both the rooms and the rest of the hotel Wifi was somewhat spotty and slow. Would have liked the fitness center to include a larger variety of items instead of just a few treadmills and some light weights
The men at the concierge went above and beyond to help us. I truly appreciate everything they did to make our stay pleasurable.
Very comfortable bed, room quiet although located on a busy road. Unable to change the temperature of the A/C which for us was too cold.
An excellent centrally positioned hotel which is comfortable, friendly and the cafe on the ground floor is great. Would like some packets of biscuits to have with a cup of tea in the room!
the size of our room, the cleanness, the old fashion decor, easy to get to , in the middle of the city
Very good value for money - all was as expected. Rooftop pool a bonus. Grace cafe, staff and food fabulous.
The King Single bed was soooo comfortable, Bar 77 was excellent and breakky was great Not really
Most comfortable bed in comparison to others including Sheraton on the Park. Staff were friendly and helpful. Being invited for drinks by the hotel.
Staff were pleasant and very helpful especially when I relaised I had left something in my room, The room itself was medium in size but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location was central especially to shopping and close to Darling Harbour.
The hotel is ideally situated for visiting tourist attractions such as Circular Quay, the Rocks, the Bridge and the Opera House. Across the road from the hotel are the Botanical Gardens. This is a 5 star hotel and the interior and service reflects this, I did not eat at the hotel so am not sure whether meals are value for money, there are many restaurants and cafes close at hand to suit most budgets. The rooms are very spacious and well equipped, tea and coffee and fresh milk were replaced each day at no extra charge. Overall a very enjoyable stay. The only critisicism I had was that like most hotels the beds were rather hard.
Large, well appointed rooms and bathrooms. Excellent staff, very responsive to your needs. Beautiful facility that was a comfort to return to after spending the day seeing the sights around Sydney. This hotel is in a perfect location, close to the opera house and ferries yet far enough away to be in a tranquil setting, across the street from the park. If we ever return to Sydney we wouldn't consider staying any place else. There was nothing not to like!
Sumptous, extremely helpful and friendly staff, fabulous location, great food, relaxing bar, everyone so kind and genuine, comfortable bed Yes - did not like leaving!
The building is beautiful!!! Arranging a 12pm checkout to only be called at 1120am and asked what time we were leaving?!
the friendliness of the staff
We thought it was terrific, great location, loved The Bar and staff We had issues with the staff cleaning our room who missed things and cosnsistently forgot to leave thinks lioke breakfast menus
All the staff were very professional and helpful. I had overpacked so needed to send home some items. They found a suitable box for me straight away (within 15 mintues) and brought it up to my room. They were also efficient in organising transport.
Fabulous location
Excellent location, staff and facilities. None
I liked the spacious, comfortable room size, the cozy atmosphere, the location of the hotel which makes it easy to explore Sydney's most famous attractions and the helpful and fast service at the reception/concierge desk. The service during breakfast was a bit slow, e.g getting coffee, refilling the buffet took very long.
Wonderful room Nothing
Convenient location to city attractions. Breakfast prices were way too high. I paid $158 U.S. dollars and the breakfast prices were $18 to $26 US dollars. Overall I enjoyed my stay as the room was clean, quiet and comfortable.
Service was excellent,staff very pleasant and helpful. Food was first class and reasonably priced. Nothing
bed is old, sags in middle. Room is old, needs a refurb. "Atrium" means no view at all.
friendly and helpful staff, good location
The staff were fantastic - very friendly without being stuffy from frontline to cleaning staff. Great location - right between central shopping & circular quay.
We asked to hotel concierge for the morning call at 5:30am, but we did not get any phone call from the hotel concierge. Ii is indeed disaponted. I hardly miss the international fight.
the hotel is ideally located with shops, attractions and ferries all within easy walking distance. Staff were very helpful. The breakfasts were superb. Room was very clean tidy and well maintained. Sound proofing was good. All the staff from the room ladies, concierge, doorman, reception, cooks and anyone else we encountered were so helpful and friendly.
Stayed at the Radisson for one night on our way inbound from Canada to Melbourne. Lovely hotel, in the heart of the CBD. Close to the Harbour and ferries, the Opera House, slight trek to Darling Harbour but very central. Rooms were clean, modern and spacious. Also, took advantage of the breakfast buffet before or flight the next morning which was quite good but pricey $25per. The porters were exceptional, always attentive and helpful with the baggage. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Only a couple of hiccups, we arrived in the morning and even though check in was at 3pm they said we could check in at 1130am. When we went to pick up our room keys they kept putting us off with "ready in 5 minutes" until noon. Just tell us noon, we would have gone for a walk. While we were waiting in the lounge for our room there was some construction going on in the restaurant, didn't make for the best of atmospheres.
Lovely room and great location. Upgraded, but that cost $60 per night. Nothing really, although room service meal was fairly ordinary.
The staff were very courteous.
Proximity to Central Quay Bland decor
Required a bit of updating/modernisation. A little shabby. Pictures on Internet decieving.
we enjoyed the shopping....the hop on hop off bus was ok. your desk staff were helpfull and pleasant on everything was all fine
So central, could walk to a range of places. Easy to pick up a taxi. Can't think of any.
Very centrally located! Excellent value for money!
easy access to the shops trains darling harbor circular quay food outlets easy for our friends to find have mentioned this one before but shower is rather small even for average person and the taxi service across the road
I really really loved the hotels location. Great night life and close proximity to all the sights and hotspots in the Sydney area. It was easy to Get where we wanted to be by walking, or taxi. The only thing that I didn't like was when we checked into our hotel room, there was a McDonalds take out bag full of old eaten McDonalds food. It was gross
Room was clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to everything.
The shower was fantastic (really important) and the shampoo gel etc very easy to access.
The room No restaurant/breakfast in room
Friendly and professional staff, lovely clean rooms and great location, close to all attractions but not loud or noisy at night time. The pool in the hotel is not heated, and as it is on the roof even though it was warm wather it was too cold to use. Also, we may have braved it and dealt with it being a bit cold however it clearly hadn't been cleaned in months as it was full of bugs, which ruled out us using it whatsoever. As this was one of the reasons we booked here it was a little disappointing, however not a massive issue really as we still had a lovely time.
The location was excellent and the view from the pool area great. Would have liked some pool towels available.The car parking was hard to find and very tight for larger cars.
Staff were so nice and friendly and nothing was any trouble for them. Couldn't get shower to run hot; then shocked by the amount of water wasted in these showers.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Essay:
There's an understood supposition of opposing causal agency at work. No matter what pressures and factors came to bear, the addict could have done something else, but simply decided not to (Choice and Free Will: Beyond the Disease Model of Addiction, 2010).
A more behavioral approach to understanding addiction is the social learning model, which suggests that people learn how to behave by watching others in their environment and by duplicating actions that create affirmative consequences. One learns to take drugs or alcohol through ones connections with family, friends, or even popular media. And through personal experimentation with drugs or alcohol, one learns that they like the way drugs make them feel. Whether it is the elation of a high, the augmented confidence they feel while intoxicated, or a reduced sense of social nervousness, intoxication can be a positively reinforcing state of being.
As one discovers how much they like certain facets of drug or alcohol use, the positive reinforcement of that use leads to even greater use. By the time extreme drug or alcohol use creates considerably pessimistic consequences, one has yielded to a physical or psychological addiction to the substance (Understanding Addiction: The Disease Model vs. The Choice Model, 2009).
In essence, Social Learning Theory (SLT) explains the effect of cognitive processes on goal aimed behavior. It reflects on the human capability for learning inside a social environment by way of watching and communication. Supporters of SLT portray the role of maintenance, cognitive expectancies, modeling, coping and self-worth in influencing substance use and abuse. Reinforcement is a central idea of SLT. The learning element of SLT is the straightforward operant response, where a person will duplicate any behavior that leads to a reward. SLT also distinguishes that dissimilar kinds of drugs put forth different effects and the effects will differ between people and their wishes, depending on things like past history, personality and present life conditions. When a person takes a drug or drinks alcohol, they shape an expectancy of what they will feel like when they take the substance again (Social Learning and Coping Models of Addiction, 2011).
The moral model frames addiction as a consequence of human failing, an imperfection in character. It doesn't distinguish biological or genetic workings to addiction and proposes little understanding for those who exhibit addictive actions. The inference is that addiction is the consequence of poor decisions, which addicts make because of a lack of willpower or moral power. Predictably, looking at addiction as a moral failing led alcoholics and other addicts to be clustered with others who had demonstrated moral failings. "In the 19th and early 20th century, alcoholism was connected with other socially undesirable situations and behaviors such as crime, poverty, sin, domestic violence, and laziness. Rather than recommending treatment methods for alcoholism, the moral model viewed punishment as a more appropriate response. Alcoholics were unresponsive to publicly admit their problem, as society had little compassion for their struggle" (Moving beyond the Moral Model of Addiction, 2011).
"The temperance movement hit its stride in the United States during the mid-1800s, and alcohol became a thing to be feared. While the temperance movement placed the blame on alcohol rather than the user, it also spread the idea that alcohol should be associated with evil and sin. In the years leading up to Prohibition, a quantity of states began passing laws that mandated the sterilization of those they considered defectives, like the mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and alcoholics and addicts. During this time and throughout Prohibition, alcoholism was seen primarily from a social, rather than medical perspective. Alcoholics were put into drunk tanks in the city jail, asylums, and public hospitals, where they were not offered the help they needed" (Moving beyond the Moral Model of Addiction, 2011).
The nature vs. nurture debate is a major foundation of argument between the different advances to understanding human behavior, including addiction. Theories that found their understanding of human behavior on nature center on characteristics that people are born with, like their genetic make-up, established personality traits, and physical tendencies. In contrast, theories that found their understanding of human behavior on nurture, stress those experiences that shape and alter people throughout their lives, such as how peoples parents raised them, what they were taught at school, and their culture (Hartney, 2010).
While most professionals agree that addiction entails a multifaceted interaction between innate characteristics and life experiences, the focal point of research tends to highlight one or the other. For instance, a study looking at the effects of neurotransmitters on the development of addiction leans towards the nature end of the discussion, while a study looking at peer pressure distinguishes that nurture is also significant in people's potential for addiction. There are risks in depending too greatly on either nature or nurture when explaining addiction. If one believes that addiction is a merely physical process, they can lose the belief in people's freedom to make decisions, and to conquer tendencies that might put them at risk. Yet if one believes that addiction is completely reliant on life experiences, they can lose sight of a lot of individual differences that can persuade people's vulnerabilities to addictions including the possibility that medications, like antidepressants, can help deal with mental health problems that may add to addiction (Hartney, 2010).
The nature vs. nurture issue has been around for ages, and researchers have still not figured out which of the two has a bigger effect on a person. Nature, referring to genetics, and the nurture, referring to ones surroundings, are two very rational reasons to why people are who they are. This discussion over whether nature or nurture has a bigger effect on people has been contested and supported very well for both sides. Each side highlights significant details and good explanations for why nature, or nurture, controls how people behave. Experimentation and research has been carried out on these two sides, and each is supported with good theories as to why nature or nurture is the significant influence on people (Guirguis, 2004).
Nature is thought to be what establishes ones personality, looks, and other things because it's all hereditarily passed down. Any matter regarding traits relies upon the notion of innate biology. A lot of parents believe that any bad trait that their child has gotten is because of bad parenting, but it may be more an issue of biology, and genes that run in the family. It has been determined that a newborn doesn't have an empty slate of personality, but does have a set of innate traits. "Tests have been done at the University of Wisconsin to show that dispositions of an infant are influenced more by biology than interactions with their siblings. In a way, an individual's nature is their genetic gift, which gives him or her physical traits such as hair color, eye color, and form of the body. It does also conclude the kinds of emotions and motivations one will experience, which can be never-ending. Any new emotion is not probable to experience unless there is change to ones genetic material. So in a way, genes give people certain traits or behavior characteristics; but it's all a matter of whether or not they carry out their certain inherited qualities" (Guirguis, 2004).
The other side of the discussion claims that nurture is the cause to people's actions as well as characteristics. Even though genes are what give people a particular charm to their personality, the environment has the authority to change it and make one into the exact opposite. Even the way that certain kids are brought up can transform how they turn out. Supporters of the nurture theory believe they in the end don't matter, that people's behavioral facets initiate only from the environmental factors of ones background. Studies on infant and child disposition have exposed the most critical confirmation for nurture theories (Guirguis, 2004).
There is no clear and totally established model for making sense of addiction, but no matter how a person gets addicted to drugs or alcohol, once they are, they face a hard and oftentimes deadly illness. The dispute between supporters of the different theories persists, with no clear end in sight. The dispute is major, with the most established model of addiction pressuring a great deal of governmental policy and research. Of course, no one dealing with an addiction today can afford to wait for the result of a scientific debate before getting lifesaving treatment (Understanding Addiction: The Disease Model vs. The Choice Model, 2009).
Fortunately, there is an agreement that once a person has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, they have a sickness that needs immediate treatment and addiction treatment has a good successes rate. It doesn't really matter how a person got addicted since getting the kind of treatment that's going to help get better is far more vital. Wasting ones time speculating how or why they got addicted won't solve their problems, but…[continue]

Bioecological Theory Bioecological model differs from others in that it charts and describes the development of the human and the group over the spectrum of the life course, through successive generations both past and present. The model consists of four principal components and the prime dynamic, interactive element that guides them. The four processes are: the forms of interaction between organism and environment, usually called 'proximal processes that due to interaction between organism

Learning Theories and Models One of the earliest types of learning theory is that of behaviorist theory, made famous by theorists such as B.F. Skinner. Although Skinner formalized the principles of behaviorism down to a science, at its core behaviorism is based upon simple 'carrot and stick' theory learning, namely that students are punished when they are incorrect and rewarded when they produce the desired response -- or in the

Good news for any teachers producing their own lessons in iTunes U – Apple have now added new tools that make it possible to create courses directly on iPad, without the need for a Mac.
You'll now be able to add learning materials from a wide range of sources including iWork, iBooks Author or any other of the 75,000 educational apps for iPad, as well as photos and videos, and package them into a tailored lesson. Another addition is the new Discussions feature – this lets pupils hold debates and join in conversations (while teachers can keep an eye on discussions and remove any off-topic messages too).
'Really useful'
Many schools are now replacing teachers' laptops with iPad, so the ability to create iTunes U courses on iPad rather than requiring a computer is really useful. And with feedback and discussion being huge topics in education at the moment, adding the forum ability to iTunes U should get a lot of schools interested.
Fraser Speirs, head of computing and IT at Cedars School of Excellence in Scotland, has been a champion of iPad in education from the off, and thinks iTunes U is the most powerful tool for bringing education to life on iPad. "By freeing teachers to create and organise courses right on iPad, educators can be better focused on enabling student participation both with the content and one another," he said.
– iTunes U will be available to download for iPad from 8th July. Read more about why we love iTunes U here.

I like the Rally, just hated the bumper dragging on everything. At least the slash will handle off road terrain better than with that giant foam bumper on the Rally.
So I ended up changing the Rally to a slash.
Started out here.
Now looking like this....
I need to mess with it some more, had thought about trying a couple of things you suggested, but to much fun to run, that I hate to have it on the bench to long.
Since they used cap screws washers would not work on my issue because I have the sway bar kit installed. If I put washers under the cap screws it would then have interfered with the sway bar screws....
I ran all the tread off the stock tires already. Went and picked up a set of Slash tires. Lov'n the extra ground clearance, plus I love the look of the SC trucks. The **** bodies are pricey!!!
Yes, pictures would be good!!!
Yup, going to change the truck over to a slash. So I'll be losing the big Rally Bumper soon. Seems to have not gotten any worse.
I second the chassis brace!!!
VG Racing makes a great chassis brace. This will almost stop the front of the chassis from bending under stress and keep it from breaking, as well as stop bending drive shafts.
Found an issue with my new brace last night. Kind of feel stupid for not seeing this after I had installed it, but the supplied screws are all the same length. Which makes the install easy, but the...

Oliver is a 2 year old Golden Retriever and Dachshund mix. What?!?! How did that happen! Yes, a big little dog. So I think it's a Golden Weenie! Ollie is a sweet boy that was getting picked on in his prior home. He's timid and the other dogs knew this so they constantly picked on him. Sadly, one of the dogs caused a fight and Oliver was injured. Only minor cuts, but he is fine and all will heal. Sadly, his owners knew for his safety he needed to find a new home. Ollie is great with dogs and would be fine with older children. He is a bit shy and timid, but loves attention. He does follow the other dogs around in his home and I am sure he would enjoy a friendly doggie sibling. Ollie weighs about 35 pounds, but needs to gain some weight. He is like a big dog, whose legs didn't grow. Ollie has one partially blue eye, which adds to his unique character. He's a sweetheart and deserves a wonderful home.
Oliver's adoption fee: $250

filed: September 10, 1982.
JAMES CRUMLISH, JR., PETITIONER,v.WILLIAM R. DAVIS, SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH
No. 83 E.D. Misc. Docket 1982, Petition for Extraordinary Relief.
Robert E. J. Curran, Media, John C. Snyder, Paoli, for petitioner.
William R. Davis, Secretary of Com., Leroy S. Zimmerman, Atty. Gen., Harrisburg, for respondent.
O'Brien, C. J., and Roberts, Nix, Larsen, Flaherty, McDermott and Hutchinson, JJ. Nix, J., filed a concurring statement. McDermott, J., concurs in the result.
[ 498 Pa. Page 571]
Petitioner James Crumlish, Jr., President Judge of the Commonwealth Court, has filed this petition for extraordinary relief. He seeks a declaration and direction in mandamus to respondent Secretary of the Commonwealth that three seats on the Commonwealth Court, two of which are presently vacant and one of which will become vacant in June, 1983, are to be filled at the upcoming general election to be held on November 2, 1982. The petition was filed in the Commonwealth Court on July 12, 1982. Upon application
[ 498 Pa. Page 572]
of petitioner and agreement of respondent, this Court assumed plenary jurisdiction on August 16, 1982. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 726.*fn1
The two seats on the Commonwealth Court which are presently vacant are those previously held by Judge Roy Wilkinson, Jr., who resigned from office on March 18, 1981, to accept an appointment to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and by Judge Glenn E. Mencer, who resigned from office on April 15, 1982, to accept an appointment to the federal district court. The seat due to become vacant in June of 1983 is presently held by Judge Genevieve Blatt, who will reach the mandatory retirement age on June 13, 1983. See Pa. Const. art. V, § 16(b). Although nominations for appointment to the Commonwealth Court to fill the seats previously held by Judge Wilkinson and Judge Mencer have been submitted by the Governor to the Senate, confirmation has not yet occurred, and the seats remain unfilled.
In his capacity as President Judge of the Commonwealth Court, petitioner has the responsibility to "supervise the judicial business of the court, . . . [and] make all judicial assignments . . . ." 42 Pa. C.S. § 325(e)(1). Petitioner asserts that he thus has an interest in seeing that the seats on the Commonwealth Court which are vacant or due to become vacant in 1983 be filled at the upcoming November general election "so that the Commonwealth Court may promptly and properly dispose of matters before it."*fn2
In support of his position that an election should be held this year, petitioner relies upon Cavanaugh v. Davis, 497 Pa. 351, 440 A.2d 1380 (1982), in which this Court sustained a
[ 498 Pa. Page 573]
prospective candidate's claim that the successor to the seat on the Supreme Court presently held by Chief Justice O'Brien should be chosen at the 1982 general election to be held this November. The result in Cavanaugh was based on Pa. Const. art. VII, § 3, which provides: "All judges elected by the electors of the State at large may be elected at either a general or municipal election, as circumstances may require. * * *" See also Barbieri v. Shapp, 476 Pa. 513, 383 A.2d 218 (1978); Leedom v. Thomas, 473 Pa. 193, 373 A.2d 1329 (1977); Berardocco v. Colden, 469 Pa. 452, 366 A.2d 574 (1976).
Respondent does not challenge the constitutional premise of petitioner's argument. Rather, respondent argues that because this Court decided Cavanaugh before the deadline for the certification of offices for election, "'circumstances' clearly allowed for an orderly election process [and] a normal election in every respect. Here there is no opportunity for an orderly, let alone, a normal election process." Brief of respondent at 13. In respondent's view, petitioner's failure to file the present petition until July 12, 1982, after the May primary election and five months after the February 16, 1982, certification deadline, constitutes laches, which should bar consideration of petitioner's claim for relief.
We need not address respondent's defense of laches, for we conclude that petitioner has not established his entitlement to extraordinary relief. Pursuant to our constitutional authority to order the temporary assignment of judges,*fn3 this Court has adopted Pennsylvania Rule of Judicial Administration 701, which provides in pertinent part:
"(d) Request for the assignment of additional judges. Whenever the president judge of a court is of the opinion that the assignment of one or more judges to his court on
[ 498 Pa. Page 574]
temporary judicial service is necessary and proper for the prompt and proper disposition of the business of the court, he shall transmit a written request for judicial assistance to the Administrative Office.
(e) Recommendation by Administrative Office and Action by Chief Justice. The Court Administrator shall recommend to the Chief Justice, and the Chief Justice, when he deems it appropriate to do so may, by order, effectuate the assignment of any retired or former judge consenting thereto or any active judge to temporary judicial service on any court to fulfill a request made by the president judge thereof or when, by reason of case inventories or in the interest of justice, additional judicial assistance is required by any court."
As the language of Pa. R.J.A. 701 makes clear, the procedure for the temporary assignment of additional judges to any court when required "by reason of case inventories or in the interest of justice," is designed to effectuate the very relief petitioner seeks -- "the prompt and proper disposition of the business of the court" -- without consuming the time necessarily involved in the appointment and election processes. Indeed, it is a matter of routine for this Court to assign additional judges to courts throughout the Commonwealth when it has been demonstrated that additional judicial assistance is needed.
Notwithstanding his claim of the need for additional judges, petitioner has not pursued the remedy expressly available to him as President Judge of the Commonwealth Court. In the circumstances, petitioner's request for extraordinary relief must be denied.
Petition for extraordinary relief denied.
NIX, Justice, concurring.
Since I would reach the same result following the views expressed in Cavanaugh v. Davis, 497 Pa. 350, 440 A.2d 1380,
[ 498 Pa. Page 5751384]
(1982) (Nix, J. dissenting), I concur in the judgment denying extraordinary relief.

The Simpsons Get Legoized in 550th Episode
Legos have never been more popular. From video games to movies, Legos have reinvented themselves from being the meager children's toy of yesteryear. Nowadays, they are one of the cornerstones of witty entertainment. Of course, with Lego getting so much attention, it was only a matter of time before other properties would want to be in collusion with Lego. Probably one of the most surprising properties to join forces with Lego is the popular show "The Simpsons." Like Lego, "The Simpsons" are always about reinvention and what better way to reinvent the characters than to legoize them?

April 17, 1962
HUNSBERGERv.BENDER, APPELLANT.
Appeal, No. 19, Jan. T., 1962, from decree of Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, May T., 1957, No. 13, in case of Walter F. Hunsberger v. Frannie E. Bender. Decree affirmed.
Emanuel H. Klein, for appellant.
Marvin L. Portney, with him James C. Bowen, and Power, Bowen & Valimont, for appellee.
Before Bell, C.j., Musmanno, Jones, Cohen, Eagen and O'brien, JJ.
[ 407 Pa. Page 186]
In 1927, appellant and appellee, who were then wife and husband, acquired title as tenants by the entireties to certain real estate which they occupied as a home. They were divorced in 1947 and the wife-appellant continued living in the home. Ten years after the divorce, in 1957, the husband filed his complaint pursuant to the Act of May 13, 1925, P.L. 649, No. 350 (No Purdon citation), which provides a statutory procedure whereby divorced persons can compel the sale of property held by the entireties.
The wife does not challenge the right to have the property sold, but claims that she is entitled to a greater share of the proceeds than the husband since she had maintained and improved the home for the ten years after the divorce, at a cost to her of over $12,000. Appellant contends, therefore, that equal division of the proceeds would unjustly enrich the husband. The court below decreed that the property be sold and the proceeds divided equally. The wife has appealed.
To the extent here relevant, the Act of May 13, 1925 provides: "Section 3. The interest of each of the respective tenants by entireties shall be conclusively deemed to be one-half of the value of the property. The
[ 407 Pa. Page 187]
proceeds of any sale had under the provisions of this act after the payment of the expenses thereof shall be equally divided between the tenants by entireties. If the whereabouts of the defendant is unknown his or her share shall be paid into court, to be disposed of as the court shall direct."
Appellant argues that the first sentence of the section requires that the interest of each tenant be fixed at half the value of the property as of the date of the divorce decree. She contends further that one party is not precluded from acquiring an interest in the property greater than the other as a result of expenditures made after the divorce decree, particularly if unjust enrichment to the non-contributing party will result if there is an equal division of the proceeds of a sale.
This argument has some merit. The first sentences of section 3 does not by its terms set forth explicitly the time at which the interest of the tenants is to be fixed as equal. However, appellant fails to cope adequately with the second sentence of section 3. This requires an equal division of the sale proceeds after the payment of expenses of the sale, clearly indicating that the time of sale, not the time of divorce, is the crucial moment for determining the amount of proceeds which are to be divided equally by the parties. The statute makes no exception, moreover, for those cases where an equal division would unjustly enrich one tenant at the expense of the other because of expenditures made either before or after the divorce.
We hold, therefore, that in a proceeding brought under the Act of 1925, the proceeds of any sale held pursuant thereto must, after the payment of the expenses of sale, be equally divided between the tenants by the entireties, and that the time for determining the amount of the proceeds is the date of sale of the property.
We make no finding and do not purport by this opinion to adjudicate possible substantive legal rights,
[ 407 Pa. Page 188]
if any, existing between the parties - either in connection with appellant's claim for the value of the improvements and maintenance she contributed to the property, or in regard to an equitable claim that the appellee might make against the appellant for his share of the rental value of her ten year occupancy of the property. We hold only that in a proceeding brought under the Act of 1925 the proceeds of the sale must be divided equally between the tenants, irrespective of possible claims in restitution which the parties may have against each other arising out of ownership of the property.
In making our determination we are not unmindful of the statement in Blumner v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., 362 Pa. 7, 13, 66 A.2d 245 (1949) wherein we said: "She shall share equally with the plaintiff in the value of the property at the time of sale by the trustee subject to the lien of the insurance company for unpaid consideration and to adjustment of amounts paid by Blumner since the decree."
We agree with the defendant that the language indicates the possibility that an allowance was to be made for the amounts expended by one party after the divorce. The only question required to be decided in that case, however, was whether the Act of 1927, May 10, P.L. 884, 68 PS §§ 501-504, was applicable to the partitioning of an equitable estate since the husband and wife had signed only a purchase agreement. We there held that a tenancy by the entireties may exist in personal as well as real property and in an equitable as well as a legal estate, and, hence, the Act of 1927 could be resorted to in order to effect a partition. The statement relied upon by the wife clearly was not decisional, and, being dicta, is not binding upon us.
Decree affirmed. Each party to pay own costs.
[ 407 Pa. Page 189]
Although I consider the Act of 1925 to be so devoid of both equity and reality that it will often produce, as here, an inequitable and grossly unjust result, its language is so clear that it allows only one interpretation, namely, the proceeds of sale of property owned by the entireties must, after deducting the expenses of the sale, be equally divided between the tenants who hold by the entireties. For this reason I would regretfully affirm the decree.

Stunt jumper in Laguna Beach, Calif., completes breathtaking plummet into hotel pool
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Sept. 22 (UPI) — A stunt jumper in California completed a daring leap from a hotel balcony to an outdoor pool below.
Thomas Johnson shared GoPro footage of himself rushing through a Laguna Beach hotel to reach one of the upper floors in preparation for the breathtaking jump.
Johnson can be seen scaling a fence near a "No Trespassing" sign before sprinting along a hallway up a set of stairs before looking down at the pool several stories below.
He then sprinted down a set of stairs to a larger outdoor area overlooking the pool, climbed over the railing, and sprung off of a ledge into the water.
Upon emerging, Johnson continued his frantic pace while climbing a fence surrounding the pool to escape to a nearby beach.
