Ripoff Report
Answer Community Association265 S. Randolph Ave, Suite 150 Brea, California USA
Answer Community Association excessive and exorbitant $1500.00 special assessment with construction defect scenario Brea California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
It all started about a year and a half ago when the homeowners at Club Acacia in Fullerton,CA were told in a very brief one page flyer that testing for asbestos was needed because of some "anonymous" complaint. What prompted the complaint was not explained nor was there any proof given that such an inspection was justified.
Upon inspection, however, apparently some minute traces were found. As a result, there was supposed to be some major asbestos removal procedure done on all four tenement buildings here though I am not sure what was done to safeguard us from such a lethal threat except for changing the carpets. By the way, this asbestos threat removal procedure was limited to common areas only and not inside any units which makes no sense at all. I don't have exact figures but the bill for such actions was many thousands.
Shortly thereafter, a fire inspection was conducted and repairs were deemed necessary to bring the property up to code but I am unclear about exactly what the code violations were because it was never explained in detail. Incidentally, somehow during this process, homeowner's incurred an additional $40,000+ bill for drywall repairs.
I'm still confused about the circumstances surrounding the drywall repairs. From what I heard at a recent association meeting, the holes were supposed to have been fixed by the inspectors or original contractor hired to bring the property up to code but were not so we had to hire another contractor to patch them. Even so, I still don't know why we were charged so much when, in my estimation, the totality of holes amounted to only about 10% of the ceiling in the hallways. Another bothersome fact is that during an association meeting it was found out that the second contractor hired is acquainted with one of the board members.
A month ago, Answer Community Association, handed homeowner's a very strongly worded letter stating that a "special" assessment was necessary over and above the monthly assessment in the amount of $1500.00 per unit and needed to be paid immediately as we are devoid of reserve funds!?! There are 114 units here, so the total of the "special" assessment is $171,000.00. HELP!! This is not an upper eschalon place at all and most of us here are on fixed incomes. Regardless, the real question is, FOR WHAT?! The HOA receives $48,000 per month which is all conveniently used up with nothing saved and little to show for it in terms of actual work done. How is that possible? I really suspect something rotten is going on here based on some vague explanations and very questionable expenditures.
The HOA makes $35,000 per year for management services. Additionally, we are charged $40,000+ for a maintenance guy who is not even here half the time. He probably makes about $10 an hour. Where is the rest of it going?
There are many more questionable expenses which lead me to believe we are being ripped off by our HOA. Homeowners feel helpless and some outside intervention is greatly needed to investigate possible fraud and/or mismanagement. Please help us stop this runaway train!!

Amended Report
SUBMITTED: Monday, March 10, 2014POSTED: Monday, March 10, 2014
Upon further investigation, I, the filer of the original report, am rescinding it based on satisfactory evidence that the issues and expenses in question were warranted and handled properly by Answer. In addition, I learned some new information about the extent of work done of which I was previously unaware.
In the final analysis, I believe Answer is doing a very fair and reasonable job under some very difficult circumstances. I appreciate the opportunity to voice my concerns but find them to be largely without merit and so would like to make a full retraction of the original report.

CBS Sports: Heyman: Yankees have faith they can keep Mo, Kuroda and Pettitte
The Yankees have faith they can make deals with pitchers Mariano Rivera, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte—surely more faith than they can do a deal with Rafael Soriano at the moment.
The Yankees expect to try to work something out with Rivera in the coming week, especially now that Soriano has rejected the $13.3-million qualifying offer. The club's hope is to get Rivera done at a bit of a pay cut from his $15-million 2012 salary, as he is 43 and coming back from a knee injury.
The Yankees seem to have a fair amount of hope, too, that Kuroda will stay with them on a one-year deal, especially if he desides to stay in the states. The team sees Japan as its major competition, not the Red Sox or even nouveau riche Dodgers, who are among the interested teams in the majors. The Yankees would enhance the $13.3-million offer Kuroda rejected a bit if it meant keeping Kuroda, who is said to have enjoyed his year with the Yankees and is very willing to do a one-year deal.
I can't imagine the Yankees would even be considering re-signing Soriano but I suppose Boras's mouthpiece needs to leave the possibility open. To me, Kuroda is the key to the offseason. They don't have to commit to him past 2013 and CAIRO thinks he's the best available free agent starting pitcher for 2013, even better than Zack Greinke. There's pretty much no other way the Yankees can add four wins without either trading something of value or going beyond 2013 for a contract.
Just give Kuroda, BattleCat, and Mo whatever it takes to get them signed. What does that add about 8 to 10 wins right there? All on one year deals that don't affect 2014 at all. That already has them projecting as a playoff team and that's without addressing RF.
[1] Agree. But in the case that Kuroda and Pettitte don't come back they should trade Cano and Tex to try to rebuild.
The Dodgers took 2 horrible contracts just to have Adrian Gonzalez. I think the Yankees could trade Tex easily if they really want to.
Brien Tayler got the cell two down from me. Still don't understand how Polonia managed to avoid this place.
[2] AGon was under a good, long term contract. Cano is under contract for 1 more year and is going to hit FA. THere is very little chance that you would be able to move Cano and a bad contract.
[4] - I think the O's would take that deal but…
[5] What deal? I don't think I would give the O's Cano+Tex if I were Cashman, but Cano+Arod, I'd think carefully about that deal.
That's what the "but…" was for. I wouldn't want to do that deal, especially to a team within the division.
And A-Rod is still a good player. I wouldn't do Cano, A-Rod, AND Teix to the O's. That's at least a 20 win shift. Money can only buy so much especially if more teams now have more money to spend. I think we might be seeing a trend of teams starting to lock up players for longer before they hit free agency and you will have a weaker crop to spend on.
[8] I think that trade is mroe about forcing a team to take on a significant portion of ARod's contract which hurts the Yankees for the next year or two, but is probably better for them in the long run.
It will never happen.
I can't imagine the Yankees would even be considering re-signing Soriano but I suppose Boras's mouthpiece needs to leave the possibility open.
This is *literally* the same thing we said before they signed Soriano two years ago (except for the "re" part.)
Heyman knew we were going to get Rafa even when Cashman was vehemently denying it to the press. I am fairly certain that his source is someone at the very top, perhaps even randy Levine himself.
[9] - But given Teix's age and contract and C.C's age and contract, and the fact that most of the rest of the contributors on the team are guys like Jeter, Pettitte, Karoda, and Mo that won't be around at all in a few years, sacrificing 2 or 3 years for year 3 or 4 makes no sense. They would need to just completely blow it up and start from scratch.
The hardest part is that Kuroda's agent is asking for runs instead of dollars…
Last night I caught an assignment for this Reggie Jackson charity event in Vegas, and Clemens was there wearing a WS ring. I asked him which year it was from and he gives me an answer like "Oh man, who even knows." Oh come on, Rocket. Like you don't know which ring you're pulling out of the drawer? (Incidentally, I'm pretty sure it was 2000.)
He was also wearing dress cargo pants and had his shirt cuff embroidered with "21-22."
How many WS rings does Clemens have - two? (1999 and 2000)
dress cargo pants
[1] Trying to build off what you're thinking…
If we can assume that Pettitte, Kuroda, and Mo will come back on one-year deals, that would bring the Yankees up to about 88 projected wins for 2013.
So we know they've got $131MM committed for 2013.
Plus arbitration awards for Hughes, Gardner, Logan, Joba, Robertson, and possibly Nix and Cervelli = X.
Plus one year deals for Pettitte, Kuroda, Mo = Y.
Plus money to fill holes at C, RF, and DH/4thOF = Z.
If we assume they're willing to go to $209MM again for 2013, that leaves us with:
We also know that $Z needs to buy about 5 wins to get to a projected 93 wins.
So if a win costs $5M, Z needs to be about $25M.
So that leaves about $53MM for X + Y, if the Yankees want to field a team that projects to win 93 games.
I have a feeling Mike K. has worked this out in an earlier comment, but does this sound right? Anyone want to tweak my assumptions?
[17] That is pretty much the math I was looking at last week.
[18] Okay. Thanks.
I think $131 is for the 25 man, not the 40 man. I think you need to factor in another $7.5M, but I'm not 100% about that.
[19] I actually think it's a little less than that because you have to account for players on the 40 man who are not arbitration eligible.
I think I was looking at something around 45-50MM available.
[16] I know. It was fucking disorienting. But they were dress pants that had cargo pockets.
[22] My mind is actually blown at the idea of this.
a) what could anyone have possibly been thinking when designing those things?
b) what could anyone have possibly been thinking when purchasing those things?
c) why?
d) why?
e) Cargo… dress pants…
[23] I'm not positive, but I have to think "Texas" factors into at least one of those questions.
Well, the worst case scenario is Mo + BattleCat + Kuroda costs them $45M and that's the absolute worst case. Plus, they can fill catcher for free if they want to gamble and we know the DH will be by committee/taker a flyer on an older player who can also be the 4th OFer. So, it really comes down to how can they get some wins from RF? Platoon with Ichiro and Hairston is my vote.
Hey Cronin—your Comic Book Legends book got a shout-out in Cracked (meaning: they ripped you off). Imitation is the sincerest form, etc.
Being a general has its perks.

Hehe, I actually made them add in the shout out after they shamelessly ripped me off for the entire article. Bad enough they ripped me off, but to not even credit me was pretty annoying. Always good to see someone get a million hits just ripping off your material.

'Yes, Yes' is their battle cry
With the Brainerd School District levy referendum vote less than six weeks away, a volunteer committee has been formed to help grow community support for the vote.
Randy Klinger, chief executive officer for the Brainerd Family YMCA, said Thursday he has agreed to serve as co-chair of the Vote Yes Yes Citizens' Committee. Miranda Anderson, Essentia Health marketing director, is serving as committee co-chair, he said.
Klinger said the group is in the early planning stages of developing a plan to inform voters about the upcoming levy. He said the core group of volunteers represents all segments of the community.
"We researched other school districts that have experienced successful levies and we're formulating best practices on a communication plan for voters in our district, so they can make an informed decision with the upcoming levy," Klinger said.
The district is asking voters in the Nov. 8 general election to support two levy referendum questions. The first question asks for a renewal of the district's expiring $199.24 per pupil operating levy. The second question asks for an additional $200 per pupil.
The Vote Yes Yes committee is a separate entity from the school district.
The district itself is also planning ways to get the word out. Superintendent Steve Razidlo said at Thursday's school board meeting that the input he and other administrators are getting from staff and community members is that more information needs to be provided to the public about the referendum.
As a result, the district will host three informational sessions. The sessions are tentatively planned for 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at Forestview Middle School in Baxter, Oct. 27 at Brainerd High School and Nov. 1 at Nisswa Elementary School.
Razidlo said the district is also in the process of developing an informational website about the levy, which will include a question and answer section. In addition, school staffers are developing information to be released soon on what passage and failure of both levy questions could mean for the future of the district.
Razidlo told board members that he was asked by the League of Women Voters Brainerd Lakes Area if the school district would participate in a forum about the upcoming levy vote. Razidlo said he wanted board members' thoughts on participating in a forum. Typically, forums are for candidate debates.
Board member Chris Robinson said he was concerned that a forum format would appear to turn into a debate with advocacy made by the district. This could cross some legal boundaries. Robinson said he could support more of an informational session, but not a debate-style format. Razidlo said he would find out more information about the intent of the League of Women Voters request.

Day 13: Absolutely no results (FLANK & AB LIPOSUCTION). Pictures included. Is there hope? (photos)
Im incredibly sceptical if I will see the results getting better. Maybe im a pessimist, but at day 13 shouldnt I have seen some change? Also the reason im worried is that the skin feels "fatty" when pinched. It doesnt feel hard. It still feels very "jelly belly". If it were swelling would this still be the case.
Doctor Answers 2
It is normal to see swelling at 2 weeks out.
At 13 days post-op, you will see swelling. Usually swelling does not subside until 1-2 months post-op. Watch your sodium intake (I advise less than 1800mg/day), and make sure you are wearing your compression garment 24 hours/day for the first month.
Web reference: http://www.PremDerm.com
Yes it is to early
You should be in compression 24 hours 7days a week for the first two weeks if you are my patient. the only reason to be out of compression is to shower. The skin swells and stretches more when there is no compression. When you ]icnh skin and fat the are swollen it will definitely fell uneven.

Unfortunately, tennessee has very few planted tank lovers, or at least they havent found this website
Exactly why I am trying to get more folks to join that do the planted tanks.... I have a few that I know there that I met here, they aren't daily active members, but the more we have the better the knowledge base is for the handful that are starting their first planted tanks. It can't hurt, since it is free, and I could use all the help I can get with the plant information, as my experience has only been a year in. As an active daily member, I seem to be the only one talking about them. I hope you decide to give it a chance and offer any guidance to others in our club....
I just went and joined:) Seems like a really nice site, although, I didn't really get to look much cuz it's so late and I'm getting ready to go to bed. I will be spending some time in there, though, thanks.
Super glad to have you! Feel free to make any suggestions and share your knowledge with us. We have a small group of planted tank enthusiasts within our club and I happy that we are still growing. We have only been a club/group/forum since May, and I think we are doing fairly well so far! Look forward to seeing you there, T
ETnAC is also free, and would love to have you there as well, and anyone else from the area.

I have had a few people asking for recommendations for toys/materials and where to get them. You can see my previous toy recommendations for a 9-12 month old here. If you have a specific item you want to know more about, let me know 🙂
Lucy is almost 15 months old (in a week) and her everyday toys and materials are:
Clockwise from top left:
Clogging Track by GoGo Toys (purchased this second hand)
Peg and Stack Board by Fun Factory (from Entropy)
Stacking Bowls by Q Toys (from Kidsmile)
The last 3 are all from Classic Baby:
Colour Stacker
Increasing Circle Puzzle
Lock Activity Box by Mamagenius
Aside from these toys, she really enjoys drawing (with her Lyra Ferby pencils), playing with musical instruments and with play silks.
Cameron is almost 3.5 years old. It's harder to single out his favourite toys as he spends a lot of time playing outdoors and more free, imaginative play. So he spends less time with toys and materials and more with 'untoys' and loose parts (i.e. rocks/dirt/sticks, binoculars, a piece of hose, safety glasses). The toys he does use frequently are blocks, duplo, diecast vehicles, his fireman toys, and Schleich animals. Of course, art materials are a daily thing too, particularly collage, fine tip markers, and plasticine.
Half of the toys I have are 2nd hand, the other half are gifts from others or Christmas/birthday gifts. Aside from the stores above, I shop online at Ebay, Fishpond, and Etsy.
I have my current wishlists for Cam and Lulu, as well as the toys I have purchased in advance for Christmas/birthdays on pinterest. Do you buy in advance? Do you have suggestions or questions?
What are your children's favourites?

Trying to track water, not sure if vapor barrier
Hi Team,
I've got a couple of questions about the rear door/vapor barrier seals and I'm not sure they've been answered based on a search of this forum and others.
Most people know that the vapor barrier is broken/compromised when they arrive at the car after heavy rain to find that there is a small pond in the back floor. I don't have this symptom.
Knowing there was a thunderstorm approaching and being sure that I had a vapor barrier issue I taped up my rear windows with some electrical insulation tape (it's what I had on hand). See below. I'm pretty sure I sealed the window fairly well and even after the storm the tape is still holding well. I did not tape up the rest of the door.
Anyway when I open the door after the storm I get a small splash of water from off the doorsill - and then some drains out of the door, looks to be from the drain hole. None of this is making its way into the cabin of the car. (Pictures below). It looks to my untrained eye that water may be getting caught between the inner seals (the ones on the door and car body which join) and the weather stripping/seal which is on the outer side of the door.
I thought the vapor barrier issue allows water to enter the car not simply hold it in the doorsill. Any ideas? The front doors have no water on the sills at all and don't drip water after a storm.
Image one: Tape - I thought this is where water enters/breaches the vapor barrier, is my water coming from somewhere else?
Image 2: wet doorsill - both the body of the car and the sill-plate are wet, but not further inside.
Image 3: underside of door - water between the two seals.

Carbonation may have grounded Mars' atmosphere
Process could have forced Red Planet's atmospheric carbon dioxide into the dirt
By Ashley Yeager, 12:38 PM October 22, 2013
Mars' atmosphere — once rich in carbon dioxide — may have moved underground through carbonation.
The process happens on Earth when water, CO2 and silicate minerals such as olivine interact to form carbonate, which is then stored in the planet's crust.
In a new study, Tim Tomkinson of the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre and colleagues analyzed the minerals in the Lafayette meteorite, which scientists think formed on the Red Planet 1.3 billion years ago and came crashing into...

Heres the link to Mrs. Jan Brewers email. I already let her know how I felt about this bill. Lets all send some respectful encouragement to Mrs. Jan Brewer.
I think you still need a permit to carry into a business that sell alcohol for consumption and carry on school property.
And it you must be 21 to carry concealed in a vehicle.
Makes it easier to get the permit..no mandatory 8hr class, no qualification..NRA basic handgun class, LEO course or DD form 214 will get you a permit. might need the permit to carry else where until every other state does the right thing.
doesn't hurt to save the money on a background check when purchasing the firearm also.

16 years and I never paid for a background check when purchasing a firearm
She has typically waited until the fifth day to take action on all billsSB 1108, the Constitutional Carry bill, was transmitted to Governor
Brewer today, April 12, 2010. SB 1108 eliminates the prohibition and
penalties for law-abiding adults who carry a concealed weapon without a
permit. A letter to the Governor, urging her to sign SB 1108, has been
prepared and is waiting for you at AzCDL's Action Center:
The Governor has 5 days (not counting Sunday) to make a determination on
the fate of any bill sent to her desk. That means she must decide the
fate of SB 1108 by Saturday, April 17 at Midnight. She can sign it, let
it pass without her signature, or veto it. Any bill she does not veto
will become law 90 days after "Sine Die," the official adjournment of
the Legislature. We encourage you to contact her and request that she
sign this historic legislation, and ask your fellow freedom lovers to do
so as well. You can use the pre-written letter linked to above, or you
can call her office at 602-542-4331 or 1-800-253-0883.
I think Governor Brewer has been in Washington D.C. dealing with the F-35 coming to Luke AFB. I am guessing she will sign the bill when she returns to her office.
Constitutional carry will now be the law in AZ
This is great for we Arizonans, but it is STUPID to still need the permit to carry concealed into a restaurant that serves alcohol when you can CCW everywhere else.
Congrats AZ!

I don't like Tom Petty (hope I don't get fired)Friday, January 25th, 2008
"Tom Petty is the greatest singer, guitar player and song writer in the history of this Universe or any other, and he forever will be. Just listen to the delicate, yet complex integration of chord progressions and lyrical mastery in songs like 'Don't Come Around Here No More,' 'Into The Great Wide Open' and 'You Don't Know How It Feels.' It's like seeing two people fall in love to the sounds of a symphony only they can hear."
That's what someone told me once when I said I didn't like Tom Petty.
Okay, I lied. That's not what they said.
But they did call me a jerk.
That's not the only time, either. I've lost friends, nearly family, because I don't like his music…his music.
I didn't say I didn't like him. He's probably a great guy and fun to be around. I just think his songs are too simple for my taste and that a lot of them sound too much alike.
"Then you're are an idiot!" – I can already hear you saying it.
It's okay, let it out.
"You don't know crap about music!" "You're tone deaf!" "You're ugly!"
Keep them coming. I know I'm evil. I change the station when I here "Free Fallin" or "You don't have to live like a refugee" – how dare I! It's okay. I've learned to accept who I am.
And if I'm in a situation where I'm unable to change the station or the stereo, I start singing (I can sound just like Tom Petty) really loud, only I change the words to make the song's lyrics really awful.
For example: "Free Fallin" becomes "Free Ballin." You can only imagine how it goes.
That one's made people cry.
Now Tom Petty is the performer during half-time of Super Bowl XLII in Phoenix. Can't say I'm as thrilled as everyone else.
I believe my direct quote was, "I'd rather watch Steven Tyler and Justin Timberlake sing 'Walk this Way' and toss microphones back and forth to each other in hell before I'll watch this year's half-time show."
But it's clear I'm alone on this one. In fact, I'm not going to say that everyone else in the world claims to be Tom Petty's biggest fan, but I'm not going to say they don't, either.
That said; if I'm the only jerk on the planet that won't defend the greatness of "Last Dance with Mary Jane" to the death, than even I have to admit Tom Petty must be doing something right.

Hello, I am interested in what software you guys use to communicate between team members over the internet (ventrilo, email etc.)
This is not about me looking for a bunch of suggestions as much as just an interest in seeing what else is out there.
Here is my list:
1) ventrilo
2) MSN messenger around 5 years back (very easy to send files by dragging and dropping onto chat screen)
3) Drop Box for file management
All 3 also offer android support which makes it easy to keep in touch when your not near your computer.

The new City is lighter and more powerful. Torque has reduced insignificantly but more importantly is available at a lower rpm, thus improving drivability. The car is quicker in the acceleration runs and at the same time ARAI figures claim the car to be more fuel efficient as well. In terms of dimensions, the length and width stay the same but the wheelbase and height has increased. This results in a roomier feeling cabin while the longer wheelbase adds a bit to the stability aspect. Turning radius has been retained ensuring maneuverability is not affected.

Shahrukh shoots at home
It is said that some portion of his building is made in such a way that they can be used for filming these advertisements.
The building that is being built behind Mannat has Shahrukh's personal office, his gym where he works out, home for his security and staff is also made there. But the top two floors and the terrace are used for letting out to companies to film their commercials.
This has made life easy for SRK because when his kids are home he can spend a lot of time with them, they can watch their dad film for various commercials and he gets lots of time to spend with his family. Gauri Khan, his wife, too drops in from time to time to be with him. Various companies like Dish TV and Airtel have shot for their advertisements from SRK's Mannat.

Lesser Family Carrot Souffle
Eric Lesser grew up having his family's carrot souffle at Seder. When he was invited to celebrate the holiday at the White House, the President's chef recreated it.
Eating it the first year was "jarring experience," Lesser recalled. "I'm sitting in the dining room of the White House, with portraits of first ladies and a beautiful setting and… I had a flashback to the house I grew up in."
Lesser shared the recipe with us below.
Carrot Souffle
1 pound carrots, steamed and mashed
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
3 eggs
3 tablespoons matzo meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together all of the ingredients. Pour into baking dish. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the top looks golden brown and the center is almost firm. Enjoy!

Mario Manningham was drafted by the Giants and played for them from 2008-11. He was serviceable if not outstanding during his time in New York. His best numbers came in 2010, when he caught 60 passes for 944 yards and nine touchdowns.
But the 2011 postseason -- and more specifically, one unbelievable catch down the sideline late in Super Bowl XLVI -- made Manningham some money. He signed a two-year deal worth more than $7 million less than two months later with the 49ers. However, Manningham's two years with them were largely forgettable and headlined by a devastating knee injury in December 2012 that caused him to miss most of the 2013 season.
So, with his contract up again, Manningham is heading back to where he started. The Giants brought Manningham back on a one-year deal Tuesday, according to Pro Football Talk.
Fantasy Analysis:
I look at this signing similar to the Patriots' inking of Brandon LaFell: A veteran brought in for depth purposes. The Giants' top three WRs are Victor Cruz , Rueben Randle , Jerrel Jernigan . Or at least, that's who the team hopes are their top three, given that the young guys continue to develop. Manningham is a player head coach Tom Coughlin is familiar with, even if Manningham isn't familiar with the Giants' new offense. He'll vie to be New York No. 4 wideout and has microscopic fantasy value.

AUSTRALIAN coach Mickey Arthur has assured axed batsman David Hussey he still has an international future, despite being tipped out of the Twenty20 team by Victorian teammate Glenn Maxwell.
Arthur said Hussey was, in part, a casualty of his own off-the-boil form since the end of the Australian summer but added he had also suffered from the rise of Maxwell, who has surged into the team on the strength of his all-round talents and unshakeable confidence.
The Age reported yesterday that Hussey was out of favour, despite having made more Twenty20 runs across domestic and international tournaments than any batsman in the world. This was confirmed when he was left out of the team that lost to England yesterday in their final warm-up game.
Hussey survived a cull in Cricket Australia contracts largely because he was a pivotal member of the Twenty20 team in a World Cup year. His best hope of a recall appears to be if Cameron White fails to fire or if the conditions demand another part-time spinner.
"We wanted to go in with a structured line-up. Seven doesn't go into six. One guy has to miss out," Arthur said.
"Glenn has played some really good one-day innings for us. He's got a bit about him. If he has a good tournament he's certainly a guy who can win games for us.
"Dave's probably a little bit unlucky. He's working extreme hard to get that position back and put pressure on the guys."
Arthur added that Hussey was still in Australia's plans, for this event and beyond.
"Definitely. I used to enjoy watching Dave Hussey bat when I coached against him.
"Since I've come in (as coach) he's played every game, bar the start of this tournament. We wanted to get a little bit more from Dave and we wanted to Dave to finish games a little bit more than what he has. He's aware of that. We've had some good honest chats about it. Dave is still very clearly in the mix and down the line could play a really big role in this tournament."
For the moment, Australia is planning to take both all-rounders, Maxwell and Dan Christian, into the tournament.
The only change to the team that lost by nine runs to England yesterday will be the recall of Pat Cummins will also return with Clint McKay most likely to make way; despite having the variations to excel on Sri Lankan pitches he has played very little cricket in the past month because of a hamstring injury.
Meantime, spare spinner Xavier Doherty has flown home to Hobart for the birth of his first child and is expected to return to Colombo later in the week.

Lisboa Pátria
Books, music, wine. These are some of the complimentary extras you'll be provided with if you stay at Lisboa Pátria, a charming and charismatic cosy apartment located in the heart of Lisbon, close to Alfama, the Pantheon, the Flea Market or the Museum do Azulejo (The National Tile Museum). Here, the visitor will be close to the most recent and trendiest night-life routes, beginning in the new Alfama fado parlours and ending up in Clube Ferroviário or at the famous Lux nightclub and Bica do Sapato restaurant (both co-owned by the actor John Malkovich).
The apartment has been recently refurbished and renovated by the owner, a travel journalist who knows his ways around the city and cities of Europe. Pátria Lisboa, which literally means Lisbon Motherland, is a mix of what we call "portugality" and the world. You'll notice a lot of Portuguese traditional elements together with some light international motifs: the paintings on the living room pay homage to Mondrian, but the bricks in the bedroom wall are as genuine as the city spirit. The small canapé chair on the entrance hall, below a Bordalo Pinheiro's flock of swallows, is a recent purchase.
The apartment is shiny and colourful, inspired by a marvellous warmth from the morning light and sunset brightness at dusk. From Autumn to Summer, you'll be able to peek at the river from the living room window or check the sea cruisers that enter and leave the city's harbours.
Speak with the owner if you want some suggestions concerning reservations for the best restaurants or some hots spots in town. He'll be happy to oblige.

We enjoyed our stay in this nice apartment. There's a lot of space, and we immediately felt at our ease (our two kids too), enjoying the many objects gathered at the nearby flea market. We were tired after an intensive two week trip through Portugal, and although we visited Lisbon, we also stayed each day several hours in the apartment, reading, listening to music (there's a huge CD collection available). It's an ideal and agreeable place in a quiet area close to the metro.
This apartment lies great next to the train and metro station, at the border of the river and in the middle of the nice Alfama region of the city. Nice place to stay!
Had great time in Lisbon. Miguel was very hospitable & accommodating host. Enjoyed the apartment.
Miguael's appartment is great and in walking distance of the best Fado-places in town. The appartment is big, has all you need and looks really good. Thanks Miguel, it has been a pleasure
Hello, Miguel.
We had great time in Lissabon, especially in your nice apartment ideally located (close to the center, to the train station, to the metro, to the flea-market, etc) , very calm, comfortable and decorated with good taste. We only saw you once, Miguel (the day we arrived in Lissabon) ; you were very discrete but available in case of need. Unfortunately we had no time enough for listening to you whole CD's collection.
Of course we highly recommend your apartment.
Thanks again for your kindness. We hope to see you once in Brussels.
Nathalie, Benoît & the kids
El apartamento está muy bien, no le falta detalle y es muy acogedor. Añadir como único punto negativo que alguna zona del apartamento habia un poco de polvo y en el cuarto de baño se necesitaba una percha para colgar las toallas!!! Sin duda recomiendaria este apartamento para visitar Lisboa.
Es un apartamento muy bonito, acogedor, en una zona tranquila de Lisboa, pero muy céntrica. La única pega es que no tiene ascensor, pero a nosotros no nos importó (es un segundo piso).
Chouette appartement dans un quartier sympa, pas bruyant et proche du centre.
Flavio est très dévoué pour ses hôtes. Dommage que nous ne parlions pas mieux anglais...
Seuls reproches, quelques petits détails comme la planche de wc qui se fait la malle, une poignée de fenêtre qui ne tient plus...
Originell eingerichtete und gut ausgestattete Wohnung in verkehrsgünstiger Lage.
Einen sehr unangenehmen Eindruck hinterließen eine völlig fleckige Matratze ohne Laken,das Bad mit großen Schimmelflecken, eine defekte WC-Brille.
