Home away from home! Wonderful breakfast and spa!
The hotel is one of the finest designed that we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The room design and the views are exquisite; the beds were perfect and the quality of all the spaces beautiful. In addition the staff were a joy and the breakfast superb. As a side note, my wife and are both architects and have only one before been so effusive in the praise of a hotel.
Entire family loved this place.
Came here with partner and friends for a short stopover as part of our euro trip. Great location if you have a car and want to pop out to visit surrounding towns, but don't expect anything within walking distance. You should have a car. Beautifully appointed rooms, incredibly comfortable. Had some hiccups with our bathroom which staff dealt with promptly. Shame the rooftop spa is only open 4pm - 8pm. Beautiful views so would have liked to enjoy them more. Overall great experience and would recommend.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
hellocan you please answer the following or tell me where i might find the answers:would it be permissible to day trade or trade stocks or otherwise while receiving ssdi?what happens if the ssdi recipient makes a profit?what happens if the ssdi recipient makes a large profit?if this is a problem or would raise an alarm due to reports generated and sent to the irs and the ssa from the trading account?
how about trading in an ira?
would ira profits be not taxable, not reportable, and allowed until after 65 and only taxable and reportable at 65 or if the monies are withdrawn prior to 65?is it safe to assume once the recipient reaches 65 they automatically get regular ss and no longer ssdi? thank you very much for your kind attention please pardon the typing and format
There is no problem trading stocks while on SSDI.
Your SSDI can end up being taxable depending on how much of a profit you make.
If you trade in an IRA you aren't taxed until you take a distribution. Distributions are always taxable as ordinary income and, again, depending on how large the distribution is, could make your SSDI taxable.
jsw1:is it safe to assume once the recipient
reaches 65 they automatically get regular ss
and no longer ssdi?
I would not assume that. You can go to the SSA website or call up the SSA for the answer to that question.
Bill Gates could collect SSDI, if he medically qualified. Now, if you also qualify for SSI, you have a different issue.
SSDI benefits convert to regular retirement benefits at your full retirement age, which is anywhere from 65 to 67, depending upon when you were born. The amount you receive does not change. If SSDI is offset for workers' comp or another public benefit, that offset will go away with conversion.
hi everyone. i have been on ssdi since about 2 years and 6months ago. i was in a major car accident and got a large settlement. i have most of my money with this wonderful woman who has my money diversified. i am in bonds and stocks and i will earn about 20 k in dividends and all the stocks she has me in are doing great. prior to finding her i had major losses because a broker ripped me off and i made a good living. he took my account feom 150k to 20 k. it was horrible.
anyway i kept 50k and opened up an account to try and day trade a little to keep my mind busy. i have 6 herniated discs, i have had 3 surgeries. 14 epidural steroid injections, 6 facet block injections. 2 plus years of physical therapy, trigger point injections every week and more. i still need 2 surgeries, but i just can't take any more.
i have day traded that 50k into 70k and needless to say i have over 100k in carry forward losses. i have a long way to go.
can i get in trouble by day trading on my bed? i need the income. i want to make sure my wife is taken care of. i am 44 and many years from a retitement age, but i am permanently disabled. i walk with a cane and wear a neck brace all the time.
any help would be appreciated.
schlatko:can i get in trouble by day trading on my bed
while watching cnbc?
Other than the tax issues outlined earlier, your benefits are not at risk.
adjuster jack:No. Other than the tax issues outlined
earlier, your benefits are not at risk.
I disagree with Jack. While the amount of income you have is not relevant to whether you can continue your SSDI, what kind of income it is does matter. If the income comes from work, that's a problem. The issue here is that day trading may be considered self-employment when conducted on a regular and continouous basis, which may then mean you no longer qualify for SSDI. You may wish to see a local attorney who practices in the area of SS disability to find out just how likely it is that your planned activity may be treated as work and thus affect your benefits.
oy vey. darn.
so the money that the lady makes me is of no issue. the money i make on my own is an issue. wow. i got pnzi'd i just want to get my money back.
ponzi'd is the correct word.
i do have this guy making some ideas for me. he has hardly made me any money, but i am gonna pay him 15% of any profits. if i paid him more can that help me?
see irs pub 550, p. 72. special rules for traders in securities.
where do i get that?
Check the irs website...www.irs.gov
Publication 550 discusses the tax rules for when trading is a business. The SSA might use the same standard, it might not. That's why I suggest you see a lawyer who handles SSDI claims for advice.
i've already made a ton of trades. crap. maybe i'll just completely stop now. this stinks.

The Field Placement is one of the most crucial aspects of a social work student's learning experience. Social Work Field Education in the MSW program provides students with an opportunity to develop advanced social work practice skills within an agency or community setting that will enhance the student's current knowledge and skills. It involves students being placed in an Agency or Organization where they are supervised and engaged in learning activities that help them to develop a framework within which to begin to critically reflect on their own practice and develop advanced competencies in the professional Social Work role.
We strive to have a variety of placements available to our students. We attempt to match the student's interests and learning needs with a suitable field placement opportunity. Each field placement setting will have unique learning opportunities for students, which may include individual, group, community development and social planning/policy work.
MSW field placements will begin in the first week of the term that SOWK730 is offered. It is designed as a concurrent model where students are in the field placement for 2 days per week for a total of 450 hours. Students are required to be in the field placement for a minimum of 21 weeks to a maximum of 28 weeks. There is some flexibility for students to complete longer days or increase the number of days per week as long as the minimum requirements of 21 weeks are met. Students have until the end of the 28th week to complete all of the requirements for the field placement and the online seminar course. The hours of the field placement are flexible pending the parameters outlined by the agency. Typically, students are in placement 7 hours per day.
Integrative Seminars
Students are enrolled in an online seminar as part of their field placement. The seminar requires two face to face on campus meetings. Students are expected to post bi-weekly on specific topics using a critical reflection model and incorporating learning from their field placement. Students are also required to complete additional assignments.

" Brand: Fendi / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Parfum / Gender: for women "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Fan di Fendi is not a perfume I would have chosen for myself. It comes in a square bottle with a striking gold frame. For some reason I am hardly ever drawn towards gold fragrances as I seem to have some preconceptions about gold ones being very strong and a bit old for me. I usually go for softer, girly florals. However, I am open to trying anything and when I received a sample bottle of Fan di Fendi eau de parfum in a Sephora perfume sampler set I did my best to keep an open mind.
Initially, I was very pleasantly surprised by this scent. I expected something heavy and overly sexy, but the top notes when the perfume is first sprayed are very fresh and citrussy. A pleasant orange is the main thing that I noticed to begin with. It also has a little bit of spiciness to it, making it more mature than a straight fruity scent, but as a 25 year old I don't find it too mature.
I looked up this perfume's information on BaseNotes.com and found that the top notes are: Tangerine, Pear, Blackcurrant, Pink peppercorns. I was surprised to see blackcurrant, as I did not detect that at all. The other top notes didn't surprise me and I could smell these.
The top notes disappear quite quickly, and when it starts to dry down the scent already fades quite a lot and becomes even lighter. According to BaseNotes, the middle notes are: Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose. The rose is very subtle, and I would never have described it as a rose fragrance. The jasmine is more apparent.
The base notes are leather, patchouli and suede. This sounds a little bit masculine and personally I thought it sounded quite strange, but by the time the base notes come through the fragrance has almost entirely disappeared on my skin, so there is definitely not a strong leathery smell!
I had to respray this perfume after two to three hours, as I just couldn't smell it anymore at all, even if I sniffed my wrist and really tried! I was quite disappointed by the poor lasting power, as I expected more from a big name like Fendi.
It disproved my prejudice about gold perfumes being too strong, but unfortunately it went too far in the other direction as this one has weak staying power! It has a nice freshness and would be great for a sumer day, but be prepared to have to top it up a couple of times.
Overall I was glad to have sampled this and I do really enjoy the top notes, but I won't be going out to purchase a full bottle.
Launched: 2010
Group: Floral fruity
I have a sample of Fan di Fendi in my perfume collection and I was eager to test the new addition to the banckrupt Fendi house that's been bought by Lacoste. Consequently all previous additions have been discontinued, many of them a legend on their own (Theorema, Fendi).
Fendi is a luxury house so presentation is a must. The bottle actually reminds me of a cross between two Fendi fragrances, Palazzo and the original Fendi. The square-shaped flacon is shaped in the two epitomous F plated with gold and decorated with a small, square lid. Elegant, classy and golden, the Fendi image is kept in its entirety.
Top notes: tangerine, blackcurrant, pear
Fan di Fendi starts out fresh, tart and orange-y with a hint of sweetness that comes from the citrus rather than the other fruits. The blackcurrant isn't fruity but bitter and woody. A juicy but tart pear completes the top accord that lasts for almost an hour before the huge, sharp projection softens up and the first florals start to appear.
Heart notes: jasmine, tuberose, rose
During the next few hours the theme was centred on a clean, watered-down and slightly bitter jasmine that left the other players in the dark. Yes, no big and fleshy tuberose or peaking rose hit my nose as they either blended in too much or were in short supply to be noticeable.
What was present though, it a sort of sharpness combined with the ever present bitter overtone that basically ran through the entire composition from start to finish. The floral accord was soft and pre-sent but still couldn't offset the bitterness the whole fragrance seemed to be focussing on.
Base notes: patchouli, leather
About 3 - 4 hours later the florals disappeared and I caught sniff off the beginning of the base notes. First to come was patchouli, a clean and dry one and isn't at all dirty or earthy. I felt it clearly lacked warmth as I really like patchouli in orientals (Le Baiser du Dragon, Grain de Soleil) where they are amazingly grassy, warm and fragrant.
The cold, flat and pretty lifeless watery and sharp patchouli was eventually saved by a savoury, dark and resinous note, the leather. This modern leather didn't recall its predecessors in classics such as Habanita (Molinard) or Toujours Moi (Corday) where leather tends to be animalistic, musky and even milky.
Overall, the final accord of Fan di Fendi was a quite thin, lightly spiced, resinous patchouli that un-fortunately only lasted for a couple of hours.
Considering this fragrance was launched in October and meant to be worn as an evening, partying autumn - winter scent, I didn't find anything complex or warm about it. I'm afraid I wouldn't be wearing it even for the summer, so sharp and bitter it was most of the time. The off-balance and long-winded start, the underdeveloped and muddled floral heart or the base notes that were too short-lasting and boring were it not for the interesting accord with the leather are the main reasons for that.
The ingredients were well-worked and high-quality and definitely miles away from the cheap in-gredients many fashion houses use. The bitter orange-jasmine theme was a close nod to recently discontinued Fendi Palazzo I got gifted once but it wasn't a hit with me. Fan di Fendi is a less lumi-nous, less floral and rounded, so ultimately a sharper, fizzier, more casual and less luxurious version of Palazzo. I wouldn't be surprised if Fan di Fendi got discontinued just like its sister Palazzo that failed to bring in the sales.
Recommended for fans of the discontinued Palazzo or for those whose skin chemistry works well with sharp florals all year round and preferably as an office scent.
Fendi fragrances don't come cheap, except to pay £40 for a mere 30ml, £69 / 75ml Eau de Parfum or slightly less online.
Thanks for reading.

You can't resist the allure of the Fan di Fendi Gift Set, an ideal way to experience the fragrance you just adore to adore. Indulgent, addictive and irresistible, Fan di Fendi demands that you acknowledge its presence, and you're only too happy to oblige. The fragrance is a diffusion of leather and roses, with a touch of the warm and zesty Mediterranean sun that settles on her shoulders. Sensual and delicious, the scent electrifies the senses with its playfulness and its prestige. Create a pampering ritual everyday by cleansing with the skin softening Shower Gel and hydrating the body with the scented Body Lotion. Ensure the aroma lasts even longer by spritzing the Eau de Parfum over this fragrant base.

This is a simple design. After I read the article, there was little I could see that could be removed from the boat. And other than a few instruments and ground tackle, I could see nothing that needed to be added. To me, what defines simplicity and efficiency in a boat is the point at which nothing more can be taken out without compromising its integrity.
That daysailer is expensive, but there is much more to consider than the cost of the boat. There are berthing costs, which probably will increase sharply when owners replace a smaller boat with a larger one. Maintenance costs definitely will increase, probably exponentially. There's also the cost of insurance and the cost of fitting out. Anchors increase in size and cost with a bigger boat, as does the size and cost of the rode needed. I know you're saying to yourself, I don't anchor. I go to marinas and rent a slip when cruising.
Despite your planning and the weather reports, there will come a time when Murphy applies his law to your boat while it's away from the dock. I know you'll call Sea Tow or some other organization to haul your butt out of trouble. And what if Murphy and Mother Nature combine their efforts and you're near rocks or some other hazard? Anchors and rode are expensive, but they may be the cheapest insurance you can have on the water.
Then there's the cost of winches, windlasses and sails. As a powerboater, you have the same kinds of problems (except for sails and winches). Even your dock lines increase in size when you switch to a bigger boat, and for everyone there is the cost of safety equipment.
OK, enough discouragement. I believe that the essence of affordable boating is simplicity. The mantra is KISS (Keep it simple, stupid). If you want affordable boating, keep that mantra in mind.
There are many options in boating other than floating castles. Just about everyone can get around the expense of berthing in a marina or club, and that goes a long way toward making boating affordable. There is kayaking, a healthy, simple and inexpensive alternative way to spend time on the water. It does require some physical effort, but it's not strenuous. It is a good idea, however, to know how to swim, but that's true of any form of boating, regardless of the size of the boat.
Another option is trailer boating, power or sail. It requires the purchase (and registering) of a trailer, a trailer hitch and, depending on the size and weight of the boat, a braking system for the trailer. By the way, you'll also need a vehicle capable of safely hauling the trailer and boat — I learned that the hard way. You'll also have to back the boat down to the ramp for launching and recovery, and you'll probably get wet in the process.
One great advantage to trailer boating and kayaking is portability. You can take your vessel to virtually any body of water and experience new places and have new adventures.
If noise and the cost of fuel don't bother you, there are personal watercraft. They can be fun. I think of them as waterborne motorcycles. I've been on both, and I've jumped from planes. I prefer jumping. New tricked-out PWC approach the cost of a boat, but there is always the used route.
Bouncing around in inflatables or RIBs can be a less expensive alternative to a runabout or other traditional small boat. If you're considering this option, I say go with the RIB rather than a true inflatable, even one with an inflatable keel and floorboards. Most of these are trailerable and they're often not as heavy as a fiberglass boat of the same size. That means less fuel and a smaller outboard.
For fishing, there are punts and other flat-bottomed boats that can be powered forever on spoonfuls of 2-cycle fuel. One of my favorite options is a rowing boat — not a flat-bottomed clunker that you rent at the lake but a well-designed boat that may offer an optional sailing kit. A good rowing dinghy can easily move two or more boat lengths on a single stroke.
Admittedly, rowing is becoming a forgotten and lost art, but it is well worth resurrecting. Of course, you could mount an outboard engine, but that sort of defeats the KISS principle.
There is also the used-boat market. Just look at the used-boat section in the back of this magazine. You can usually negotiate price, and the goal is to avoid going too big. On some waters, sailboats and powerboats over 30 feet are like aircraft carriers in a bathtub. Unless you consider the boat a floating alternative to waterfront property, keep it small and simple and affordable.

The Federal Government says the number of people contacting the national terrorist hotline proves Australians are no longer reluctant to dob in those they see as doing the wrong thing.
More than 14,000 concerned Australians have contacted the hotline since it was set up on December 27 last year. (There were also 12,000 hoax calls over the same period.)
Justice Minister Chris Ellison said that 1049 legitimate calls contained sufficient information to initiate investigations, with 141 calls still being investigated.
"The fact that so many people have taken the trouble to contact the hotline is very encouraging," he said in a statement. He urged all Australians to call the hotline if they see anything suspicious.
"You may think it seems silly or not worth reporting, but if that piece of information could prevent something devastating happening, you will have made an important contribution to protecting Australia," he said.
Senator Ellison said information to the hotline was recorded and passed to the relevant law enforcement and security agencies for assessment and investigation.
All calls were treated in confidence and callers could remain anonymous if they wished.
Senator Ellison was unavailable for further comment yesterday but his spokesman said Australians were clearly not reluctant to dob people in. "People use the hotline when they believe they have legitimate suspicions that certain people might be doing the wrong thing by Australia.
"It clearly shows Australians are looking out for their country, their own interests and their families in particular," he said.
The spokesman said there had been fewer calls in the second half of this year but he was unable to give details.
In Victoria, more than 30,000 people contacted Crime Stoppers in 2003 with information on a wide range of crimes that led to more than 700 arrests. More than 3000 charges were laid and stolen property worth millions of dollars were recovered.
Crime Stoppers chief executive officer Alan McLean believes the figures speak for themselves and dobbing is no longer thought of as unAustralian.
Mr McLean said dobbing in criminals was in everyone's best interests.
Crime Stoppers can be contacted on 1800 333000 and the national terrorism hotline on 1800 123400.
A spokeswoman for the Environmental Protection Authority, Victoria, said more Victorians than ever were informing on polluters.
She said more than 78,000 complaints were lodged with the EPA last financial year.
The complaints resulted in the issuing of 13,722 litter fines in 2002-03 compared to 9036 fines during the previous year.
The spokeswoman said the number of complaints for 2003-04 was expected to increase significantly now that people could access litter and smoky vehicle reports on the authority's website at www.epa.vic.gov.au.
The EPA also has a litter report line on 1800 352555 and a pollution watch line on 96952777 (metropolitan) or 1800 444004 (regional).
Water companies said thousands of Melbourne residents had continued to dob in alleged water wasters since stage one (introduced in November 2002) and stage two (introduced on August 1) restrictions came into force.
A Yarra Valley Water spokeswoman said 5781 alleged water wasters had been reported out of its 1.3 million customers, resulting in 4191 warning notices being sent out to remind the customers that the water restrictions were still in force.

This week, Consumers Credit Union was selected as a 2012 Best & Brightest Wellness Champion in Michigan. Only 35 companies in Michigan were chosen for this prestigious honor. The Best & Brightest™ Wellness Champions is an innovative initiative that recognizes and celebrates quality and excellence in work site health promotion. The program highlights companies that encourage a culture of wellness, and those that plan, implement, and evaluate efforts in employee wellness promotion.
Consumers unveiled its first formal wellness program to employees this year. Our leadership team made the conscious decision to design a wellness program that was focused on doing what was right for our employees. The program emphasizes education and provides one-on-one coaching to each employee to help them determine what wellness goals are appropriate for them individually.
Wellness isn't just about eating right and exercising to lose weight. Wellness is about being balanced and making good decisions for long-term wellbeing. Our program helps employees take a holistic approach to their total wellbeing. This approach has proven successful for our employees and the credit union. We experienced a 75% employee participation rate in all facets of our program. This is astounding considering that participation is 100% voluntarily and employees are not financially incented directly for taking part.
Here is what employees have to say:
"I love working for an organization that gives me the opportunity to gain insight and direction on choices that reach far beyond the scope of my job. The choice to participate in our wellness program is paying dividends for me this week as I am able to help my dad take steps to a healthy recovery & rest of his life."
"As a result of the program, I've lost 40 pounds, 7 inches from my waist and 3 pants sizes! I am also working out 3-4 times a week! Amazing isn't it. All of your help is SO very much appreciated!"
"It's fantastic to work for such a wonderful company. An employer who actually cares about your well-being, inside and outside of work, is an amazing feeling. This Wellness program has brought nothing but positivity and good change to me, my friends, coworkers, and family! Thank you, Consumers, for giving us this amazing opportunity!"
In addition to being recognized as a Best & Brightest Wellness Champion we have seen significant improvement (nearly 20%) in our health insurance claims losses. While we cannot attribute 100% of the decrease to the wellness program it has had a significant impact.
Consumers has been a "healthy" place to work for many years. We subsidize gym memberships for our employees, provide fruit and healthy snacks in our break rooms, and offer outstanding health insurance. Our formal wellness program has simply taken our healthiness to the next level. At Consumers wellness isn't just an initiative it is part of our culture.

- two Interpol assassins are played off each other by their contractors, discover the plot, team up and then kill everyone

Argentina calls for steak and wine, and so in Salta we had our first of many delicious steak meals, accompanied by local torrontes and malbec wines. At a place called Ma Cuisine, run by an Argentinian couple who had spent 10 years in France. It was so good we went the next night with a few imore people from our hostel, and a memorable night followed. It was one of the guys birthday, so this called for a celebration which the Argentinians really got into as well including the chef and a random guy from the next table who came to say happy birthday (we'd been singing 'happy birthday') and clink glasses with us all.
Salta had an high altitude archeology museum, which housed the remains of three child sacrifices found on a nearby mountain. The one we saw was so well preserved it was creepy, she still had perfect eyelids. She had also been struck by lightening at some point and so her face and clothes had been scorched. Apparently, the Inca would select children from nobles around the empire to be sacrificed. They would come to Cuzco, the 'navel' of the Incan empire, and in a very special ceremony two of the children from different regions were married. They were then taken to many of the mountains in the cordillera where they were given chicha (corn beer) and buried, presumably alive. Being chosen as a human sacrifice was an honour reserved for members of the higher classes, usually the most physically perfect and beautiful children, and the whole process was designed to help tie different regions of the empire together by blood.
We diverted ourselves for two precious days (we are running short of time by this stage) to see some local countryside and drop in at Cafayate and Cachi, two picturesque local towns. The tour took in fertile valleys growing tobacco, the green subandina hills and the stark cordillera behind. There are fossils around there, now high up and on an incline (due to tectonic plate action), similar to the fossils we saw in Sucre, Bolivia. We went through a cactus national park at high altitude then went on to Cachi for lunch. Cachi is a laid back colonial style town with all white buildings and colourful doors set in the valley at the dusty foot of the cordillera. It had a church whose vaulted ceiling, pulpit and confession boxes were made of cactus wood (cardon). They make lots of things out of it, the wood is full of holes but looks rather nice. Los cardones are big around Cachi. They live to 500 years, and have three different kinds of spines- white ones to insulate from the cold, black ones to protect it from animals, and brown ones to absorb water (the longer they are, the drier it is). Check out the photo of the giant spine we found!

Which paint gun?
Scroll down to the blue gun on the first page. I own two of these guns, available for $40 at Menards, including 14. and 2.0 tips and air caps. The regulator is caca. These guns spray really nice, and are easy to use.
I have a somewhat more expensive (read still cheap) Cobalt gravity gun from Lowes that I use for clear; it seems to do better for that. The Menards gun atomises metallic basecoat really good if you crank up the air pressure.
They broke a couple times, but nothing I couldn't fix in 10 minutes. I keep them clean and lubricated, and so for, so good.
As long as the gun is clean, adjusted properly, and not too terrible, the person pulling the trigger makes a lot more difference than the gun does. Also, the more you use a gun, the better you become acquainted with its performance and limitations. I think these guns are perfect to learn on, because if you get yourself to the point of extracting maximum performance out of them, you will not only have a decent performing gun, but you will learn enough to justify buying a better gun.
I have never shot with a brand name gun, or gun that cost over $100 for that matter. My next step will probably be Astro.
I would have bought DeVilbiss Finish line guns from the start, but I don't have enough air for them.

Diller Sees Aereo in Every Major City If Backed by CourtAlex Barinka
Barry Diller plans to expand Aereo Inc.'s streaming-TV service into every major U.S. city if the startup prevails in its fight with broadcasters before the nation's highest court.
The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of the service, which takes over-the-air TV signals and redistributes them through the Internet without paying fees for the programming. The odds of the court supporting Aereo are 50-50 at best, Diller said. The company, which is backed by Diller, is facing off this month in arguments against the biggest broadcasters, including CBS Corp. and Walt Disney Co.'s ABC.
The issue is bigger than just Aereo, Diller, 72, said in an interview at Bloomberg's headquarters in New York. It's about the future of how TV is watched. At stake is an evolution of the TV industry that could give consumers more programming over the Internet and more opportunities to choose which channels they pay for and which they don't. It's akin to the court's 1984 ruling that paved the way for VCRs, he said.
An Aereo win "allows technology and innovation to move forward, whoever benefits from it," Diller said. If there's a negative ruling, "it's over" for Aereo.
Aereo is set up in 13 cities so far and operational in 11, using thousands of small antennas to capture free over-the-air TV signals and transmit them to subscribers on the Internet for $8 a month. Expansion is mostly on hold for now, Diller said.
"You can't do it with an anvil over your head that is literally an off-on switch," he said. The Supreme Court will hear arguments April 22 and rule before its nine-month term ends in late June or early July.
Fox, NBC
Media companies including CBS, ABC, 21st Century Fox Inc. and Comcast Corp.'s NBCUniversal are fighting to maintain their business models, in which cable providers pay the broadcasters for the right to distribute their programming, even though it's available for free over the air with an antenna. Those payments are estimated to exceed $4 billion this year, according to research firm SNL Kagan.
"This has never been about stifling new video distribution technologies, but has always been about stopping a copyright violator who redistributes television programming without permission or compensation," Fox, Tribune Co., Univision Communications Inc., the Public Broadcasting Service and WNET said in January.
Diller, chairman of the Internet company IAC/InterActiveCorp, has more than 40 years of experience in the media industry, including as chairman and chief executive officer of film studio Paramount Pictures Corp. and helping create the Fox broadcast network.
DVR Revolution
He likens Aereo's challenge to a legal case three decades ago that disrupted the movie business.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1984, in a case involving Sony Corp.'s Betamax, that makers of videocassette recorders couldn't be held liable for contributing to consumer copyright infringement. The ruling helped put VCRs -- and later digital video recorders -- in tens of millions of homes.
"Reverse the decision and tell me what you think," he said. "We've had 30-some odd years of history in one area that would be wiped out. Look what it would have done to this incredible revolution that we have participated in -- that's what I think really is at stake."
Closed System
This time, a ruling in favor of Aereo's new technology could mean more programming delivered through an Internet version of cable TV.
While Diller said Aereo's advanced technology would keep it ahead of competitors that might crop up after a verdict, a proliferation on online-TV offerings would be good for the consumer, he said. More shows may be offered individually in a subscription model similar to Netflix Inc., or for individual purchase, letting consumers pay only for what they want to watch, he said.
"It'd be much less of wholesalers who buy the programming and sell it to you in a package, and much more a la carte," Diller said. "What's important is that we have another distribution methodology that is not part of the closed system."

Personality dictates investor success
Page Tools
Individual personality traits can make investors money and just
easily send nest-eggs deep into the red, a Merrill Lynch survey of
1000 US-based small investors has found.
The point, says Merrill's marketing officer Hannah Grove, is to recognise the traits before dreams turn into nightmares.
"If we can fathom our emotional tendencies, then we can take steps to anticipate and correct them," she says.
Welcome to the world of behavioural finance, where Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychoanalysis, meets Adam Smith, an early proponent of the free marketplace.
Merrill Lynch Investment Managers' president and chief investment officer, Robert Doll, likens investing to dieting: "Whether you're trying to shrink your waistline or grow your nest egg, discipline and self-awareness go a long way."
While the survey found 88 per cent of respondents described themselves as "very" or "fairly" successful investors, this can be misleading as up to a third don't even have a basic financial plan.
To take a closer look at investor traits, the report classified the respondents into four categories: measured, reluctant, competitive and unprepared.
About a third of those surveyed were measured investors. They generally feel their financial position is secure and as a rule do not overallocate in a single investment. Diversification is their byword.
But even these methodical investors make mistakes, with 41 per cent holding on to loss-making investments for too long hoping for a turnaround, and a third citing this as the "most painful mistake" they have made.
Reluctant investors, who made up 26 per cent of the survey, don't really like investing. Consequently, 70 per cent said they waited too long before plunging into the market, with 41 per cent saying this was their "most painful" mistake.
Competitive investors (17 per cent) demonstrated a high level of knowledge, though they can also be overconfident (39 per cent) and greedy (34 per cent). Generally, this type of investor likes to invest as much as possible, and reweights their portfolio every 12 to 18 months.
The survey found unprepared investors were the unhappiest. It found they lacked confidence (47 per cent), were fearful (41 per cent) and anxious (36 per cent) about investing. While this is the smallest group (11 per cent) among the relatively affluent sample in the survey, they may well be a larger proportion of the general population.
"Unprepared investors are the folks who have fallen farthest behind," said Brian Greenwald, the chief financial officer of market researchers Mathew Greenwald & Associates.
"In their angst to catch up, they are making every mistake in the book."

I've had a 2002 Trailblazer for about 2 years. I really haven't done much to it except for keep it clean and well serviced. So far, I have had no real problems with it except for a seal that needed to be changed at the rear licence place cover.
I have a 2006 LT, I agree with Steve I only have 30,000km on it but I haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood). very happy with it
Good luck with the 2002 Trailblazer, i had to trade mine in, couldn't afford the constant repairs
Oh, I changed the serpentine belt at 60,000 miles too, cost about $15 for the part.
2003 Trailblazer North Face Edition

|Home > Issues > State Election > Article
Premier Steve Bracks has started the state election campaign with a comfortable two-party preferred lead over the state Liberals, but a Saulwick AgePoll shows Green preferences will be critical to Labor securing a second term.
As Mr Bracks yesterday raced to a November 30 election, the AgePoll found statewide primary vote support for Labor at 40 per cent compared with the Liberals and Nationals on a combined primary vote of 35 per cent.
Confirming its key role in this campaign, statewide primary vote support for the Greens was 12 per cent, and 14 per cent in Melbourne.
The AgePoll found the ALP's overall standing was boosted significantly by the strong flow of Green preferences to Labor. When the survey was taken late last week, 55 per cent of Green second prefrences were going to Labor, and only 9 per cent to the Liberals.
A further 22 per cent of Greens second preferences were flowing to the Democrats and, in turn, tending to flow to Labor. The preferences flow to Labor, combined with its eight-point primary vote lead over the Liberals, had Labor leading 58 to 42 per cent on two-party-preferred terms.
In Melbourne, Labor leads the Liberals by 39 to 33 in primary vote terms. In country Victoria, the contest appears closer with Labor on 41 per cent compared with the Liberals and Nationals on a combined 39 per cent. The AgePoll indicates independent candidates could again perform well in country Victoria with independents attracting 7 per cent primary vote support outside Melbourne.
In the preferred-premier category, Mr Bracks leads Liberal leader Robert Doyle by 33 percentage points, 58 to 25 per cent. Fifty-one per cent of voters said the performance of Mr Bracks had been very good or good. Thirty-seven per cent said fair and 10 per cent said his performance had been poor.
About a quarter of voters rated Mr Doyle's performance as good or very good, and 15 per cent gave him a poor or very poor rating.
Breaking tradition by announcing the election in former premier Jeff Kennett's old seat of Burwood, Mr Bracks said he was going to the polls after just three years because he wanted to seek "a mandate from the people of Victoria to govern in our own right".
"This term has been about undoing the damage of the past. The next four years is about continuing to undo the damage but also investing in our future," he said.
Labor faced an unprecedented task to win a second term after recent redivision of seat boundaries favoured the Liberals, he said. "I do not underestimate the task at hand," he said. "We will need to gain six seats, extra seats, to form a majority in the lower house . . . no first-term government has ever done that in Victoria's history."
Mr Bracks said he wanted a mandate from voters to continue rebuilding the health system, education, community safety and delivering strong economic growth.
Mr Doyle attacked Mr Bracks for calling an "early" poll. "There is no reason for an early election," he said. "Now you have to ask, if we believe what the government says and the economy is running along nicely, and if you were a very, very popular premier and if you had still a full year to run, why would you be going to the polls one year early. The only reason for that would be because you knew just around the corner there was bad news coming."
In key developments yesterday:
- The state Liberals last night kicked off what is expected to be a television advertising blitz, running a single television advertisement attacking Labor's handling of the economy.
- The Liberals demanded Mr Bracks censure his candidate for one of Labor's key target seats over a badge that says, "I donated to Janice Munt because the other guy is a ----".
- Labor's campaign slogan will be "Bracks. Listens. Acts." The Liberal slogan is "Robert Doyle - Real Leadership for Victoria."
- The first television debate in a decade will be held between Mr Bracks and Mr Doyle. Mr Bracks suggested the ABC would host the event, with the date to be finalised.

In my post on Repairing Tracheal Collapse, Caren asked a question in the comments about treatment for her Pom and I asked the leading expert on the condition, Dr. Chick Weisse out of the University of Pennsylvania's Veterinary Hospital, to respond (more on Chick here).
I thought it worth posting them as a separate entry to share the answer for everyone.
Checking on safety and surgerys if needed.
My 7 yr old pom was diagnosed with trachea collapse last week, they have her on 6 medications currently and want to see her in 2 weeks, she had xrays and ultra sound, they said its her lower trachea close to chest, and that she had an enlarged heart and enlarged liver - which they are not sure why, may be congenital they said, I just wanted some more info - has anyone had the stents or rings replaced, and if so-was it successful in helping?
I'm waiting, but she is not getting any better, my vet said she will probably be sent to a specialist, but in the lower trachea it was not very good and the surgery would be a lot harder? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Chick's Answer:
Hi Caren,
We typically treat tracheal collapse with medication and conservative management options (weight loss, no neck leads, no second hand smoke, reduced allergens, treat other concurrent diseases, etc.) first as the rings and stents can be associated with serious complications.
Once these more conservative options have failed, we will consider rings or a stent. You need to see a specialist to find which is right for your dog. If the collapse is inside the chest (intra-thoracic) then it is unlikely rings will be an option. In that case you will need to consider a stent. If the collapse is in the neck, rings may be an option. Fluoroscopy is typically used to differentiate between the two.
I would recommend an appointment with a surgeon familiar with these techniques...
Hope this helps...
Have you had experience with these procedures you can share with others in the comments?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/2/2009 (3033 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Never been to Las Vegas? I have just one word for you -- go!
The incredible sights, sounds and smells, and the electrifying energy, will have you planning your next trip back before you've left.
Las Vegas is first-class all the way. Absolutely everything, from the food, to the hotels to the entertainment, is the best in quality and style.
There is absolutely no mistaking you're in Vegas when one of the first things you see are display boxes proudly showcasing magazine covers of scantily clad (I'm being polite here) womwn, proclaiming how you can have a "really good time," starting at only $69 an hour.
Driving down the Strip -- otherwise known as Las Vegas Boulevard -- is a little like seeing Disneyland for the first time. The immense size of the hotel/resorts is jaw-dropping. Each one sits on acres of property and houses thousands of hotel rooms.
Before I left home, I did some research, finding maps of the Strip. I was surprised to see how close everything was to each other -- easily within walking distance.
When you get there though, it's a different story. Yes, the resorts may be next door to each other, but because of their size, the walk between each is further than you'd think. The grandeur and class of the resorts makes each one stunning and unique. They're all spectacular and it's impossible to recommend just one, so when a friend recently asked me which hotel I'd recommend, I told her that best thing to do is check out this website www.visitlasvegas.com. It'll provide you with all you need to know.
Over the last few years, food -- or should I say gastronomical delights -- has come to play a huge part of the whole Vegas experience. Las Vegas has reinvented itself by becoming a dining destination to rival the culinary epicentres of Paris and New York.
The affluent Strip resorts are hiring the best celebrity chefs, and it makes for some pretty incredible fine-dining experiences. Yes, you can still find the buffets, but there is no shortage of fine-dining eateries that will please the palate of even the most discerning foodie.
Case in point: My sister and I wanted to take in a show and dinner, but we also wanted to make sure that we picked something that came highly recommended. We kept hearing the same thing -- for dinner, try the new Lavo restaurant in the Palazzo Hotel Resort Casino, then head over to the theatre (same resort) to see the Jersey Boys show. Lavo is a Meditterean-inspired restaurant offering mouth-watering morsels from the kitchen of world-class chef Ludovic "Ludo" Lefebvree. The menu encourages sampling, which is exactly what we did.
At the end of the meal, Chef Ludo came over to introduce himself. I think I made a moron of myself between ranting over the food, and drooling over the gorgeous chef.
The show was remarkable, a definite must-see. Jersey Boys chronicles the life and career of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It was funny, upbeat and lively, with an amazingly talented cast. We were so impressed that we were on our feet screaming "bravo" (unusual behaviour for us) and singing along with December, 1963, wishing the evening wouldn't end.
As much as I did, saw, ate and conquered, nothing can compare to the highlight of my trip -- meeting my first teenage crush, Donny Osmond, the gorgeous young man who made my prepubescent heart go pitter-patter.
I met him prior to seeing the new Donny and Marie variety show at the Flamingo. Not only does Donny look amazing, he is one of the nicest and funniest people I've met. And the show was a blast -- entertaining and engaging, filled with great music and dance, making it obvious why this brother-and-sister duo continues playing to sold-out audiences nightly.
My time in Vegas was short but very sweet, one of the most memorable trips I've had so far. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
-- Viv Draward is a Winnipeg freelance writer.
WestJet has direct flights and packaged offers that include both airfare and hotel. Check it out on their website www.westjet.com. A direct flight from Winnipeg is a little over two-and-a-half hours.
Don't miss eating at these fabulous restaurants:
Yellowtail -- a to-die-for sushi experience located in the Bellagio Hotel.
Strip House -- best steak I've ever had. This one is located at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Try the garlic bread in gorgonzola cheese.Vintner Grill -- A hidden gem off the Strip. This American bistro is located in Summerlin and specializes in contemporary American dishes, with influences from Italy, France and Spain. Very extensive wine list.
Wing Lei -- in the elegant and opulent Wynn Las Vegas. A mix of Cantonese, Shanghai and Szechuan cooking styles.
Payard Pâtisserie & Bistro -- a creation of award-winning pastry chef François Payard, it offers a variety of his signature chocolates, desserts, sandwiches and pastries.
Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Las Vegas -- French bistro offering al fresco dining on The Strip.
Donny and Marie at the Flamingo;
La Rev in the Wynn Las Vegas;
LOVE Cirque du Soleil;
KA Cirque du Soleil;
Jersey Boys
Shop, shop and shop some more... Las Vegas Outlet Center; Las Vegas Premium Outlets, Fashion Outlet of Las Vegas, Ross Dress for Less (several locations) -- not to mention the amazing stores, boutiques and high-end specialty shops that line The Strip.
Rock Red Canyon Pink Jeep Tour -- About 30 kilometres west of town and home to the 13-km scenic, blazing red canyons formed million of years ago.
Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat -- The Mirage. See royal white tigers, white lions, panthers and leopards surrounded by palm trees and lush foliage and then head over to the dolphin habitat, home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.

SG Cowen Lowers Mercury Computer to 'Neutral'
Analyst Robert Stone thinks poor visibility and the lack of earnings growth prompt a downgrade
SG Cowen downgraded Mercury Computer (MRCY ) to neutral from buy.
Analyst Robert Stone says while Q4 results just beat estimates, the company's design win streak in defense continues, and its near-term prospects are hampered by push-outs. He expects tough fiscal 2002 EPS comparisions on weak defense shipments and flat medical sales.
Stone cut the $1.60 fiscal 2002 (June) EPS estimate to $1.14, and trimmed the $220 million fiscal 2002 revenue estimate to $190 million. Stone says the company still enjoys a strong market position in its core business segments, but he thinks poor visibility and the lack of earnings growth prompt a downgrade.

THIS year will be the climax of the local government reform program initiated by the Minister for Local Government, Don Page, at the historic Destination 2036 workshop in Dubbo in August 2011.
The main outcome so far has been the establishment of an independent local government review panel to ''investigate and identify options for governance models, structural arrangements and voluntary boundary changes''.
The panel is due to report in July and appears likely to recommend forced mergers, probably centred on metropolitan Sydney. This would demonstrate yet again that no lessons have been learned from previous amalgamation programs, including the 2004 NSW forced merger program.
Anyone who still believes that compulsory council consolidation will somehow lead to financial sustainability in local government, with more efficient councils, lower costs and substantial scale economies, has not bothered to acquaint themselves with the vast empirical literature on amalgamation. In our book, Councils in Cooperation, Bligh Grant, Mike Kortt and I provide a detailed summary of the empirical evidence on amalgamation which makes for sobering reading.
Indeed, extensive Australian and international experience with forced amalgamation, which has repeatedly failed to generate financial sustainability, has shown that process change rather than structural change represents the best approach to successful local government reform.
The optimal method of fostering constructive process change is for state governments to provide sensible regulatory frameworks which oblige local authorities to closely consult with their communities, engage in careful planning and reporting processes, develop strategic plans and then monitor progress.
In NSW, these frameworks are already largely in place. The integrated planning and reporting framework, and the rate-pegging special variation processes administered by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal, represent excellent examples of thoughtful regulation. They not only enhance local council financial viability but also encourage bottom-up community engagement and thorough planning by local authorities.
The independent review panel would be well advised to take careful note of how Lake Macquarie Council used the IPR and IPART frameworks to attain financial viability for which it won the coveted Bluett Award in 2012.
The Lake Macquarie case illustrates how a combination of top-down regulation and bottom-up initiative can work. Through its thorough adoption of the IPR framework and the IPART rate variation assessment procedure, the council secured l ongoing financial sustainability and also generated community ownership of the area and its future.
Participation in the IPART process should be made compulsory for every council at specified regular intervals, such as every seven years, which would involve thorough use of the IPR framework. In this way, a positive relationship between the NSW government and local government would be encouraged, rather than yet another antagonistic, destructive and expensive cycle of forced amalgamation.
Brian Dollery is professor of economics and director of the centre for local government at the University of New England.

State Senate Needs To Pass START
Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat facing our country, but the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) that President Obama signed with Russia can help to make us all safer.
Together, the United States and Russia possess about 95 percent of the world's strategic nuclear weapons. The treaty, by cutting these arsenals, can put us a step closer to eliminating nuclear weapons. In addition, at the nuclear security summit hosted by President Obama the heads of 47 countries pledged to rescue and account for all nuclear material under their control to ensure that they are not stolen for the black market or use by terrorists.
The new START clearly benefits our national security; the Senate, by ratifying it, will send a strong message that the U.S. is sincere about leading the way toward a nuclear free world.
Although START has received support from leaders of both parties, the treaty needs 67 votes to become law. That is why the Senate Democrats must seek key Republican votes and why, as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, New York State's Junior Senator, Kristen Gillibrand, must fully support and work to ratify the treaty. If the new START becomes another victim of current bitter and hostile Senator Politics, the United States will no longer be able to be a leader in these critical times.

London: Australian entertainer Rolf Harris is due to front court again in London on Monday charged with 13 child sex offences.
The 83-year-old will appear at Southwark Crown Court after a magistrate a fortnight ago declared she didn't have sufficient powers to deal with the case.
A frail-looking Mr Harris indicated at the time he would be pleading not guilty in the higher court.
The artist and singer is facing six counts of indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 1980 and 1981 and three charges of indecent assault on a girl aged 14 in 1986.
He is also charged with four counts of making indecent images of a child in the first half of 2012.
Under his bail conditions Mr Harris is not allowed to have contact with any person under the age of 18 unless he's accompanied by someone over the age of 21.

Ripoff Report
Shamaley Ford of El Paso11301 Gateway West El Paso, Texas USA
Shamaley Ford of El Paso Shamaley Did not follow threw on agreement El Paso Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought a 2013 F150 after sitting there for 3+ hours with my family on a Saturday. I went in early in the morning to pre-do the financial paperwork, this was an additional 2 hours. When I finally received my vehicle it was not cleaned. I had to peel the stickers off the windows myself. I was not shown how to operate anything on the vehicle. I had some stipulations on my 2010 F150 FX4 that I was trading in. I even asked the loan officer if I need this in writing and he stated "No it seems legit".
I was to bring in the stock head lights and tail lights. I held up my part. I was to receive the aftermarket head lights, tail lights, light bar, and mud flaps, bed cover, tail gate extender, and floor mats.
Four days after purchase I was afforded the opportunity to get the vehicle cleaned. Shamaley installed the bed cover and bed extender. The sales rep Javier Martinez stated "They were really busy and he would call me when they have been swapped out". Only reason this is a concern at this point is because the company is advertising the vehicle with the after-market items on the vehicle. It has in the last week been marked as sold with an $11,000 profit.
Once I got home I inspected the vehicle and it appeared clean but when I lifted the floor mats it was dirty the inside windows at night you could not hardly see out them.
Here is the link to my 2010 (Not sure if it will work anymore since it has been sold).
The mileage on the statement I signed was 15 miles, but the actual miles were 265. I told the sales rep about this and he stated this will not affect my warranty. Speaking with Ford the mileage starts at 15 so I could lose 250 miles off my warranty.
I have used their chat room to try to rectify the situation and have sent an email through the main web site. I feel I have given them ample opportunity. I was told over and over by Javier Martinez his boss and the loan rep that I would be taken care of and given the best prices on both the purchase and trade in. This did not happen and I trusted him. The 5hrs of sitting around with a hungry 5 year old and a frustrated wife didn't help with my decision making. It seemed like once they made the sale they were done. They have not called once to see if I am satisfied. I will not recommend this dealership to anyone and I will warn everyone I know of the treatment I have received.
