Swimming is one of the few past times which is as fun as it is helpful to our body. Specially in a country like Australia with beautiful beaches and countless pools, it's hard not to fall in love with swimming. Swimming pools are a great way to learn and enjoy basic swimming but it may get repetitive to some. The more adventurous types seek change and excitement which a pool just cannot offer. Open water swimming changes swimming and converts it into a sport which lets you experience the thrill of nature. Open water swimming is swimming in an unconsolidated area such as the sea or ocean usually with a small group of swimmers. It lets you experience the marine environment as it is and creates new avenues to explore.
Open water swimming
Open water swimming isn't something which can be started on a whim. The ocean can be dangerous as well as beautiful and proper training is necessary. Unfortunately there are only a few reputable places to learn to swim especially if you want to try open water swimming. Open water swimming is challenging to learn and even more challenging to teach. Only a handful of swimmers can effectively teach open water swimming and fortunately Sydney Swimmers has some experts in this field.
Sydney swimmers coaches
Among the amazing coaches offered by Sydney swimmers are Paul, Jake and Sarah. Coach Paul has been a swimming instructor for many years and is an expert in helping you develop swimming skills. He has a great personality and a background in education which allows him to communicate effectively. Jake takes a holistic approach at teaching and combines physiology, science, psychology and biomechanics to train you. Jake is especially passionate about endurance sports and will get you in a competitive shape. Finally we have swimming sensation Sarah who helps in stroke correction and fix all the technical errors.
Flexible classes
Sydney swimmers have a flexible time table which will help you integrate swimming training in your daily life. For open water swimming aspirants first they will be trained to swim 1000 m continuously and then trained for the open waters. Each training is conducted safely and with necessary precautions. Problems in swimming techniques are also identified and corrected to help you perfect your technique along with your stamina.
Open water swimming is a great hobby to pursue alone or with your family and friends. Offering a fun way to spend time together and exercise at the same time it rejuvenates you. Moreover swimming is an exercise which focuses on your whole body and is great for every age group. So Sydney swimmers is a great first step to start swimming in the beautiful ocean and be one with nature.

The platform, which provides advisers and clients with online real-time access to enquires and has transaction capability, would be "a marriage made in heaven", IOOF's managing director
IOOF is in the front line to acquire the platform, which may be sold if National Australia Bank's $13.3 billion bid for AXA is to get approval from the competition regulator.
Mr Kelaher was speaking after IOOF reported an annual net profit after tax of $68.4 million, quadruple that of the previous year, thanks to a merger with Australian Wealth Management and strong fund inflows from rising equity markets.
"We are a significant competitor in this space," Mr Kelaher said.
"We think the advent of the North transaction is almost a perfect marriage for us in terms of providing us by March 2011 with leading technology which we will be able to absolutely own and exploit into the years ahead."
If completed, the transaction would give IOOF immediate scale with around $1.4 billion in funds under administration, and the latest technology enabling that would eliminate the need for future platform investment, Mr Kelaher said.
It would also accelerate IOOF's growth to above market-trend and differentiate it as a clear competitor to the top four wealth managers, he said.
IOOF chief financial officer David Coulter said the company's profit surge was skewed because the previous year's result accounted for just two months of earnings from AWM and four months of earnings from the Global One administration platform.
Revenue rose 127 per cent to $655.69 million, driving underlying after tax profit to a record $97.16 million.
Subject to any adverse market conditions, profitability should improve in the first half of 2010/11, Mr Kelaher said.
Shareholders will pocket a final, fully franked dividend of 18¢ per share, bringing total annual dividends to 35¢ per share, double that of a year ago.
Funds under management and advice rose 11.3 per cent to $70.8 billion excluding the funds under supervision relating to IOOF's corporate trust business.
IOOF would continue to look for value accretive acquisitions if the transaction was not completed, Mr Kelaher said.
IOOF last Friday made a final submission to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on the deal's implications for industry competition.
Mr Kelaher said he was confident of getting a fair hearing.
The ACCC asked market participants for submissions by last Monday to help it assess whether it should approve NAB's modified bid for AXA after blocking the bid in April over concerns of reduced competition if the companies combined their wealth platforms.
Under the modified proposal, NAB would sell AXA's North wealth.net platform to IOOF, including the North brand, software licence, IP and staff.
AXA's advisers and products would remain with AXA.
"The ACCC has correctly identified that platform is the key," Mr Kelaher said.
"It's the platform and the fiduciary relationship that enables the platform provider to capture the relationship with the client which is paramount here."
By December 2011, IOOF will have cut its platform numbers from eight to three.
IOOF shares were up 13¢ at $6.38 on Thursday.

A spotlight on the Times' bay area players of the week.
Female Hot Shot: Malika Saffore, Sunlake
Sport: Volleyball
Skinny: Sunlake's 8-3 record is the best in school history, attributed in part to the addition of center Malika Saffore. Not that she would take that credit herself. The senior, who has offers from Coppin State and Ave Maria University, credited Sunlake's breakout season to a new coaching staff and the drive of her teammates. "This wasn't just an individual effort, it was a team effort," Saffore said. "I just want to thank God for it." Athletic director Reesa Pledge said Saffore's leadership has created a solid foundation.
Male Hot Shot: Kyle Ploucher, Tampa Catholic
Sport: Football
Skinny: Ploucher had his hand in all four of Tampa Catholic's offensive touchdowns in the Crusaders' 43-0 road win against Cardinal Mooney on Friday, bringing the senior's touchdown total to 11 in five games. Ploucher threw 14-, 24- and 11-yard touchdowns against the Cougars, and had a 1-yard touchdown run to kick off Tampa Catholic's second-half scoring. Ploucher is on track to eclipse his totals for yards (1,328) and touchdowns (16) tallied last year in the Crusaders' 12-game season, one that took them to the Class 3A region finals.

USC offers two degree programs to undergraduate students interested in the study of theatre arts. The professional degree programs, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Acting, Design/Technical Direction, and Stage Management, offer a conservatory approach to training for students committed to pursuing careers in the professional theatre, film and television industries. The Bachelor of Arts degree program (B.A.) incorporates a broad, general education in addition to a thorough study of drama. The Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Studies provides students with a broad understanding of the various disciplines. The School of Theatre also offers minor programs in applied theatre arts, theatre, dance, musical theatre, performing arts studies and playwriting.
Bachelor of ArtsThe Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree is ideal for students who want a broad education in addition to production and performance experience. The degree is offered in cooperation with the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Bachelor of Fine ArtsActing: The B.F.A. acting degree is a four-year professional training program with opportunities for performances beginning with the sophomore year. The program comprises an integrated sequence of training in acting, voice and body movement, based on the belief that an actor's emotional and imaginative abilities cannot be released without control over vocal and physical resources. This training is combined with course work in critical and historical studies, stagecraft, technical theatre, scenic design, costume and lighting. An audition is required for admission. The B.F.A. acting program is highly competitive.
Design/Technical Direction: The B.F.A. program in design/technical production offers two areas of study: design — incorporating study in scenic, lighting and costume design; and technical production — incorporating the study of theatrical design with training in the professional skills needed to execute stage designs. An interview is required for admission.
Sound Design: The B.F.A. program in sound design offers the student a combination of technical, management and design training in sound design. The student is also introduced to sound recording and mixing through a series of courses offered by the USC Thornton School of Music. Students begin using this training as early as the second semester of the second year of enrollment. The skills acquired in the classroom are further explored through sound design assignments on School of Theatre public productions in each subsequent semester of the student's program. Students in the sound design program build and design the sound component for the majority of the School of Theatre's productions under the supervision of a professional staff of designers and theatre technicians. An interview is required for admission.
Stage Management: The B.F.A. program in stage management offers the student a combination of technical, management and design training. Students begin using this training as early as the first year of enrollment. The skills acquired in the classroom are further explored through stage management assignments in each year of the student's program. An interview is required for admission.
Students in the design/technical production and stage management programs design, build and stage manage the majority of the School of Theatre's productions under the supervision of a professional staff of designers and theatre technicians.
Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts StudiesThe Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Studies is an interdisciplinary degree offered jointly by the School of Theatre, the School of Architecture, the School of Cinematic Arts, the Roski School of Fine Arts, the Thornton School of Music, and the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Minor ProgramsTheatre This general minor in theatre invites students to explore the many facets of this exciting field. Students have the opportunity to take a variety of classes in acting, applied theatre arts, applied theatre arts/education, playwriting, literature, stage management, directing, costume design and production. The curriculum is very flexible and encourages students to develop a primary interest for upper-division course work. All minor students are eligible to participate in performance and production projects.
Dance The dance minor is designed to present undergraduate students with a focus on the discipline of dance as an educational tool for studies and research. The dance program has a variety of courses in dance technique, dance history and philosophy, choreography, production and performance. This minor will offer each student a unique interdisciplinary experience; it is compatible with a variety of majors designated by the students. Student choreography, performances and productions include work with international dances and dances in the Southern California/Los Angeles region.
Applied Theatre Arts The minor in applied theatre arts addresses the theory and practice of applying theatre arts in non-traditional settings with emphases that include education, therapy and social change.
Musical Theatre The minor in musical theatre, interdisciplinary in nature, is a 27-unit program incorporating the study of acting, dance or movement, vocal arts and related musical subjects presented in association with the Thornton School of Music.
Performing Arts Studies The minor in performing arts provides an interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature and aesthetics of the performing arts. It combines the disciplines of cinema-television, dance, music and theatre. The minor is a unique course of study that looks at how the performing arts contribute to a culturally literate society.
Playwriting The minor in playwriting presents undergraduate students who are not theatre majors with a concentration in the discipline of playwriting as a means for broadening and deepening expression using the literary and performing arts. This minor offers a foundation for extended expression in dramatic writing and creative writing genres in general.
Master of Fine ArtsThe Master of Fine Arts with a major in theatre requires 48-64 units of course work at the 400 or 500 level. The areas of emphasis include acting, theatrical design, dramatic writing and directing. These programs provide a high level of practical experience. To ensure this, the number of students accepted in each area of emphasis is strictly limited. An interview is required for admission.
Master of Arts, Applied Theatre ArtsThe Master of Arts in Applied Theatre Arts explores the intersection of theatre arts and cultural fieldwork, encompassing the fields of theatre and therapy, theatre in education and theatre for social change/community-based theatre. Practitioners of applied theatre arts supplement their work as classroom teachers, therapists, social workers, case managers, community organizers and social activists.
Dance ProgramThe school offers dance classes for all university students at the beginning, intermediate and advanced level, including ballet, jazz and modern. Additional offerings in tap and choreography are also available. A minor is also offered in dance.

Estimation, Testing, and Finite Sample Properties of Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators in GARCH-M Models
We provide three new results concerning quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators in generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic in mean (GARCH-M) models. We first show that, depending on the functional form that we impose in the mean equation, the properties of the model may change and the conditional variance parameter space may be restricted, in contrast to the theory of traditional GARCH processes. Second, we also present a new test for GARCH effects in the GARCH-M context which is simpler to implement than alternative procedures such as in Beg et al. (2001). We propose a new way of dealing with parameters that are not identified by creating composites of parameters that are identified. Third, the finite sample properties of QML estimators are explored in a restricted ARCH-M model and bias and variance approximations are found which show that the larger the volatility of the process the better the variance parameters are estimated. The invariance properties that Lumsdaine (1995) proved for the traditional GARCH are shown not to hold in the GARCH-M. For those researchers who choose not to rely on the first order asymptotic approximation of our proposed test statistic, we also show how our bias expressions can be used to bias correct the QML estimates with a view to improving the finite sample performance of the test. Finally, we show how our new proposed test works in practice in an empirical economic application.

Nancy Wilson
From time to time I hear parents refer to a daughter as a tomboy. They may say it with a bit of parental pride or with
a tone of grave concern. Either way, the term
tomboy can encompass many things. To one parent it may mean her
daughter loves to ride her bicycle and play outside. She may hate fussy, fluffy dresses, and she may dislike dolls all together. But
to another parent the term may mean her daughter wants to wear camouflage pants and combat boots to church
and dreams of growing up to be a soldier. Obviously, these are very different. And of course there are all kinds of
variations in between. What kinds of behavior should be alarming to a Christian parent? What sort of "tomboyish" behavior
should be of no concern?

A sharp sell-off in the big banks and mining heavyweights weighed on the local sharemarket on Tuesday, ending a seven-day winning streak.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 dropped 49.5 points, or 0.9 per cent, to 5486.6. The broader All Ordinaries slipped 49.2 points, or 0.9 per cent, to 5466.9.
The Australian market was by far the worst performer in the region, with Chinese and South Korean markets trading relatively flat, while the Japanese sharemarket was closed.
Resources and financials suffered heavy losses, down 1.1 per cent and 0.8 per cent respectively.
Iron ore slipped a further 2.2 per cent to $US108.40 per tonne overnight on Monday, adding to the 4.7 per cent fall last week. The metal fell on concerns of a crackdown on financing deals involving the metal.
Australian miners were hit by the news, as Rio Tinto fell 1.2 per cent to $61.30, BHP lost 0.7 per cent to $37.61 and Fortescue finished 2.3 per cent lower at $5.
Junior miners also suffered heavily, with BC Iron dropping 5.5 per cent to $4.27 and Mount Gibson plunging 6.9 per cent to 74¢.
After flirting with record highs, the big banks, which had been propping up the market in recent days, took a U-turn and finished down heavily. Some analysts believe that financials are fully priced, making it hard to justify levels above where they currently stand.
National Australia Bank and Westpac both fell 1.3 per cent, to $35.51 and $35.39 respectively. ANZ dropped 1 per cent to $34.60, while Commonwealth Bank of Australia slipped 0.6 per cent to $78.94.
Citi downgraded its recommendations for Westpac to 'neutral' and NAB to a 'sell'. Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients it sees a 70-80 per cent chance that NAB will fall in the next 60 days.
ANZ kicks off bank earnings season on Thursday, while NAB and Westpac are due to report their profits next week.
However, a generally improving economy and momentum slowly returning to corporate earnings growth will ultimately be beneficial to the banks, Macquarie Bank division director Martin Lakos said.
"You've got to take the banks, to some extent, as a proxy for the economy. If you're reasonably comfortable with the economy slowly turning up, then the banks will benefit from that," Mr Lakos said.
Cabcharge chairman Reg Kermode announced his resignation from the company following the development of an aggressive form of cancer. Mr Kermode leaves the company after 39 years of continuous service. Replacements as chairman and chief executive have not been named. Cabcharge shares lost 2.3 per cent to $3.85.
Tribeca fund manager Sean Fenton said there was a bit of profit taking in Tuesday's fall, but there was a lack of buy conviction in the market at the moment as investors waited for more corporate news and the upcoming budget.
"The government is certainly setting us up for a degree of change with its first budget, so that always brings uncertainty and risks around changes in policy directions for certain stocks," Mr Fenton said.
The Abbott government's proposed "deficit levy" would also hit a number of companies indirectly, with higher earners, who do the "lion's share of spending in the economy", having less disposable income, Mr Fenton said.
"It seems like a reasonably austere budget that could impact consumer confidence and spending activity in the economy which flows on through to the market and various corporates," he said.

US, Iraqi and British troops have been conducting house-to-house searches and setting up vehicle checkpoints.
Renewed violence has hit Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland in recent weeks.
The upsurge in attacks follows the large assault on Falluja earlier this month, which aimed to stabilise the country before elections in January.
The joint operation, dubbed "Plymouth Rock", began in the village of Jabella, 80km (50 miles) south of the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, where 32 people were arrested.
In other raids in Iskandariya and Latifiya, another 45 suspects were reportedly arrested.
These restive Sunni towns, along with neighbouring Yusufiya and Mahmudiya, are known for deadly attacks by Sunni Muslim rebels against US-led forces in recent months.
'Persistent precision'
Correspondents say that unlike the assault on Falluja, there has been little combat, just a series of raids to wrest control from local gunmen.
"It's characterised by precision, patience and persistence - the keys to a successful counter-insurgency," said US spokesman Capt David Nevers.
British troops have been brought in to "squeeze militants attempting to run the 'rat lines' between northern Babil and Baghdad and al-Anbar provinces," a US statement said.
On Tuesday night, insurgents fired two rockets at the camp occupied by troops from the Black Watch Regiment south-west of Baghdad, but caused no damage or casualties, British officials said.
Capt Nevers said the military believed that "some fighters from Falluja skirted away and came down to our area to, among other reasons, take a little bit of pressure off of Falluja".

After 28 years steering one of the best track programs in Arizona history, Valley Christian High School coach Dan Kuiper has stepped down from his position as the school's track coach.
The 54-year-old Kuiper will take over as the school's principal beginning this fall. He spent 28 years as a track coach for the Chandler private school prior to his departure and has worked at the school for 30 years in all.
"It's always tough. There are some great aspects to coaching and track and field," he said.
His transition into an administrative role completes a remarkable tenure as Valley Christian's track coach. Under his guidance as a head coach, the Trojans' girls and boys track teams won a combined 26 titles in either Class 2A or Division IV, and he added a 27th championship as the head coach of the boys cross country team in 2003. His last title came in 2012 when the boys track team defeated St. Johns and Phoenix Arizona Lutheran by six-and-a-half points.
His accolades include two National Coach of the Year awards handed out by the National High School Athletics Coaches Association, 16 recognitions as Arizona's Coach of the Year and induction in to the Chandler Sports Hall of Fame.
His most impressive feat though is the 15-consecutive championships his girls squad won between 1996 and 2010, several of which came in dominating fashion. The championship streak, which ended with a second-place finish to Tempe Prep in 2011, set a national record for most consecutive state track titles.
Kuiper's team came quite close to extending the record to 20 years in a row; the Trojans finished third in 1995 — Kuiper attributed the result to key injuries and high-quality competition — and came in second place in 1991 to St. Johns. The second defeat, which marked the first time Valley Christian finished in the top three in a state meet, was a rather tight loss, as Kuiper said the team essentially lost the title by just eight feet in a relay.
David Mehlhorn, a 2004 Valley Christian graduate and former athlete who was a member of four boys championship teams and the 2003 cross country championship, attributed his former coach's success to the development of a strong track culture. Mehlhorn said the boys and girls track teams combined had between 80 to 90 students in his four years, which he said encompassed around a quarter of the school's total enrollment.
"For a small school, our track team was pretty large," he said.
The sheer size of the pool of athletes allowed Valley Christian to send three to four runners, throwers and jumpers in just about every state championship event and to tally points in those meets. It also offered protection in case of severe injuries to the higher-quality athletes.
But it's not the championships that defines Kuiper's legacy at Valley Christian; rather, Mehlhorn said it's the coach's humility, kindness and heart.
"Being at a Christian school he was always just a godly example," he said.
The defining mark was how he treated the athletes on his team. Mehlhorn, who went on to compete at Arizona State University, said Kuiper never treated the more talented athletes with more regard than the other athletes. Kuiper said the intent of doing so was to evaluate his athletes by their character and not on their athletic ability, a message he made sure was shared among his staff.
"My mantra to my assistant coaches is every single athlete on the team is as important as any other," Kuiper said.
He also offered credit for Valley Christian's success to those assistance who stayed with the school for multiple years. Kuiper said it's quite rare for that to happen, and it created a sense of continuity difficult to replicate.
Kuiper said he'll continue to watch his former teams compete during the season, although this year might be a little melancholy once spring comes and he's no longer organizing practices and getting his athletes prepped for the coming season.
"I'm not going to be doing that anymore. It kind of hurts my heart," he said.

Friday night deal - excellent value as always.
Convenient location, efficient staff. Comfortable, everything worked as it should do. Breakfast; the smoked haddock and poached eggs were both overcooked!
quiet and basic no internal telephones were working during our stay, so hence no room service unless you went t reception expensive for a basic hotel, maybe they have put the price up for graduation week?
It was warm and comfortable on a very cold night, and the room had everything I needed. The tray with kettle, cups etc for hot drinks was in the wardrobe, which was not very obvious; and there was no convenient electrical point for the kettle.
Very nice facility, in a good location, with staff ready to help. Ice buckets and an ice machine, please!
+Pleasant enviroment and quality of service Minor but important health and safety issue -fixed shelf with kettle directly above TV and flex too short to reach electrical socket.Suggest relocate shelf or TV
The bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly.
the room was very compfy although the bathroom did have some stray hairs that belonged to neither me or my partner
Warm and welcoming public spaces. Excellent breakfast.
Room was well equipped and staff were attentive,Hotel well positioned for shopping and rugby/football
The bed was the most comfortable i'd ever slept on, the room was modern, spotless, large. It felt very luxurious! Everything in my room appeared new, like a show-home, straight out of an interior design magazine.Excellent. Well i did have a room which overlooked Leicester's main street, but it was Saturday night and so i expected a degree of noise. By the time i got back in (3.30am) it had all but died down.
the location the hotel; typical ramada, 2 to 3 star trying to be a 4, my room felt like a childerns home / nursing home, bare, minimal. any other 4 star would be much much better.
Location in city centre - lots of interesting places to eat within the vicinity Size of the room - small
The room was wide and the bathroom as well. Excelent location in the city centre. The room was quite dusty and the carbet looked old.
Good location
The staff were very pleasant and tried to help The room had no view -frosted windows- the lights were not working and faulty. It was basic.
The staff were pleasant and the public rooms were very impressive. The noise from the function rooms disturbed us until 1am the first night, so we asked to be moved, which they did, for the second night.
excellent central location
good central location
Room pleasant and modern, staff efficient and helpful. Good location in centre of town. Convenient car park. The lift is small and always seemed to be full. This was annoying as most if the passengers had no luggage but we had to use the stairs with our luggage, despite trying to get in the the lift several times. Also, would like to have had a minibar in the room.
The decor and staff were memorable. Even a local power cut couldn't throw them off beat with complimentary hot drinks and snacks served in reception. Beds too soft for me but really I am struggling to find anything wrong
Pool & Room MIxx resturaunt
Very quiet place to live for a night with family. A little bit of smile at the reception would be very welcoming
Clean, friendly, spaceous
Very comfortable rooms,friendly staff.
Luxurious bed, very good shower, excellent breakfast, very helpful, efficient and friendly staff. Room too hot even with air conditioning. No enough tea for two people to have two cups. Couldn't open fridge. Swimming pool not working.
Modern Hotel Hassle free parking staff helpful There was some social event in evening our room was right above it a bit noisy till 2 am
The comfortable beds and the breakfast selection
Simply perfect.
the reception staff was very accomodating (gave late checkout easily) and friendly.
Location, The Hotel, and breakfast.
Despite being very busy, the hotel rooms were quiet at night. Should be upfront that it costs £5 to park the car.
Good location, quiet and clean rooms
Easy to get to with adjacent undercover parking.Within walking distance of City Centre. There was no late bar facility on the night of our stay.The 2 rooms we booked had 1 double bed in each room and not twin beds as our online booking suggested and what we expected!
Extremely noisy, woken at 4.00 a.m. by other guests. Hotel staff did not seem to do anything for at least an hour.
The frienlyness of the staff No
Good location for business meetings attended and was the purpose of the visit It would have been useful to have instructions on how to use the heating appliance in the room. The room was quite cool even though the heater was set at warmest setting, it still was not very warm
Friendliness and helpfulness of staff
i was given a room with a one double bed whwn i asked for a twin room which was clearly stated on my booking form, when i queried this i was spoken to in a very rude way and had to show the receptionist the booking form which stated clearly what i had booked, she didnt apologise
it was small pokey smelly boring and cold!
Met expectations. Decent value for money.
Not a lot Lack of decent restaurant & no bar facilities
would prefer facilities for a 'cooked breakfast' although the continental was very nice would feel car was more secure if there was a separate car park for days inn hotel
Cleanliness of the room and location. No food available at half ten at night.
big bathroom, nice beds
The bed was comfortable. Window did not lock or close properly, The noise from the motorway was excessive.
Very helpful and pleasant staff
no proper restaurant in the area;
Great value for money. Excellent greeting at reception, room in very good condition, modern, wifi -- all exceeded expectation. It apperared my reservation wasn't on the system, but it transpired that my firstname & last name had been combined, which was why it couldnt be found initially
The layout of the hotel, an the staff been at your service when needed. Nope
Quick check-in,friendly, nice room. Good position for our function
I loved the comfortable bed and the friendly bar area. I did not have enough milk & suger.
Secure parking, price and location.
Location and staff. Lack of towels and pillows
The room was clean enough, the television worked. It was as I would have expected based on previous experience of Campanile. Noisy, not enough milk for hot drinks. Staff did not seem to speak very good English.
the breakfast was too small to entice our party to have one. instead we enjoyed a big breakfast around the corner. a french owned hotel with the typical english values of not giving value for money.there is nothing worse than paying for a meal eating it then leaving hungry.although the hotel is dirty, it is not yet highly visible the problem needs to be arrested in its infancy. there was water staining on the ceiling in the bathroom and an orange substance in and around the shower head (i did not use the shower for this reason. the corner behind the bathroom door was dirty the floor had been cleaned but the insoluble dirt and hair was deposited here. there was a substance on the headboard that should have been cleaned off before our arrival but was missed there was some damage to the room ie iron burn on the carpet, chipped bath,door lock fitting. my overall view is that there is a lack of inspection with regards to the cleaning and the breakfast should be larger.for an hotel at this current standard £35-£38 per night would be more appropriate
Staff were helpful and generally friendly. Good facilities & safe parking I don't think the breakfast is worth the seperate price - we stayed in the Express Holiday Inn last year and although there was no cooked breakfast it was at least included with the room price which counts for a lot when you are already spending a lot of money on flights, rooms and other holiday expenses (eg eating out).
Comfortable and clean room. Apparently chaotic control of staff, the restaurant was supposed to be open until 2145, although my order was taken at 2135 I was subsequently advised that the chef was going home ! The bar was supposed to close at 0100, it closed at 2300 and as the night porter had not arrived there could be no service due to 'health and safety' reasons ? Not what I call an acceptable level of service !
The location was better than we had anticipated, just a short walk to the main shopping area. We really just booked it for an overnight stay to break our long journey, but it turned out to be perfect for us.,
Very helpful/cheerful staff. Location. Very expensive on all points I.e rooms rate, drinks & food. No free Wi Fi and tired room standards. Bathrooms have not been updated since the early 90's? At check out was charged the wrong rate twice?
Nice spacious, comfortable roon Being woken by handyman in next room at 7-730am, followed by the fire alarm gping off. At which no point were any staff on hand to explain what was going on, despite me waiting in the corridor for a member of staff.
Good pool/sauna bathroom a bit tired
Comfortable, excellent gym facilities. Helpful/friendly bar/cafe personnel. Reception staff unhelpful when I pointed out that their bank machine was not working, and asked them to provide me with £ UK. Eventually exchanged my Euros, at a ridiculous rate. Also: tables in restaurant left uncleared in the evenings. Not pleasant eating surrounded by the remains left by earlier diners. More MacDonalds than Hilton!
The style of the hotel. Very nice and welcoming The distance I had to go to get into the city centre.
Hotel was clean and well taken care of. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only problem I had was the coffee counter in the lobby. Tried to pay tab but the person manning the counter looked a little overwhelmed at the time due to what looked like being unfamiliar with equipment. Not even sure she paid the amount on the right tab because she was so stressed. But, that can happen in any job.
Hotel was easy to find, had a beautiful courtyard view and on site dining. No lift. Staff in the restaurant did a poor job of explaining meal options and tending to our table. Parking fee.
Difficult to locate.
beds so comfy, room nice and clean, loads of lovely towels
Spacious rooms, helpful courteous staff, clean and pleasant surroundings No fridge/ mini bar in the room. the swimming pool was advertised as open until 10.30 on weekdays but I was asked to get out of the pool at 10.05
How lovely the room was and how polite and helpful the staff were. n/a
No to my taste at all. Thought it was going to be a traditional style, but had been bistro-ised!
Reception staff were excellent and there was overall a good state of decoration> It was disappointing to be able to hear clearly the conversations from the adjoining rooms. Also the hotel was noisy late at night and early in the morning.
Far too noisy at night, turn out from live band function went on until after 1am. Wouldn't return for that reason alone.
Excellent setting, edge of town and surrounded by countryside I requested a quiet room but was given one next to a very loud AC fan. I was moved reluctantly. No breakfast included. It felt they resented giving the cheap rate. Service attitude was poor.
good facilities and value
Great value for money.
staff and facilities excellent the room was large enough to put a bigger bed in it rather than standard double
Good choice of menu and comfortable room. Good value but, it was term holiday with room price discounted. Creeking floorboards. Unable to use leisure facilities - review opening times for business users
The bar at the hotel restaurant was open late and pleasant We were not informed that a newspaper would cost £1 when it was offered as we checked in
Its proximity to the cultural quarter. It is a little on the noisy side, traffic and trains.
That I could park for free, although limited. My toilet design, as it was suspended from the wall and I did not feel it was safe.
Conveniently located near to station and city centre. Quiet comfortable room and fast and efficient check-in and check-out. I'll stay again.
Train station anouncer
Friendly, informative, clean, well designed, good position for city centre and public transport
Very close to the station Would have liked free wifi
Good value for money. Basic but clean and conveniently located.
Convenient for Railway station and City centre Well maintained modern hotel As a 'football hotel' a little too far from the ground 15/20min walk Very disappointed by the buffet breakfast which did not offer value for money or adequate choice compared with say a Premium Inn
When I arrived at the hotel I was greeted by the receptionist who was absolutely exccellent. She was very helpful, asked If I had been to Leicester before which I hadnt and she told me places of interest to visit. She made me feel welcome straight away. The hotel was modern and clean. Service was excellent and also the rooms were very comfortable. I would definately stay there again I cannot think of any bad points.
central location I would have been more comfortable with an extra pillow.
I feel that this property took advantage of us in a couple of ways. 1. I booked two rooms and requested adjoining rooms. Instead I was given two handicapped rooms on different floors.. The clerk refused to provide us with any other accommodation. The rooms for 4 nights each were booked at the end of April, 2016 for our stay July 12 to 17, 2016. I feel that because we booked through ***** we were given the worst rooms available when we arrived, even though we booked more than 21\2 months before our stay.Clearly this hotel baited us and at no time mentioned that handicapped rooms were what we would receive for our money. The receptionist\clerk was indifferent to our protests Had I known this I would have booked at a more reputable hotel. The Ramada Encore misled us by failing to disclose the type of room that we would receive and saved both handicapped rooms on different floors, when adjoining rooms were requested. 2. The rooms were clearly advertised as having " air conditioning" which they did not. The hotel clerk advised that they " don't have that any longer" and offered a fan instead. This was unacceptable as our booking clearly indicated that each room had air conditioning. Windows had to be kept open for ventilation, however the outside noise continued outside til well past 4am some nights. This was a case of false advertising, and again was a way of baiting us for a substandard room. Once again I feel that a ***** client was taken advantage of . I would not stay here again and would not recommend it.
The bathroom was emaculate As above. It also wasn't very pleasent eating my breakfast watching water pour through the ceiling and catched (not all of it) in a strategically placed bucket. I also felt sorry for the waitress on duty at breakfast. She really needed extra help. One person was completely insufficient for the task in hand.
All usual nice standard from Novotel. I particularly like the fact that the reception staff know good places to go for a jog. Access to terrace through a fire escape not particularly welcoming.
Clean, comfortable. Staff were efficient and helpful. The much-publicised restaurant had been booked for a private party, so there was no dinner available on-site. This meant phoning for a pizza and eating in the lobby or my room - not quite what I'd hoped for.
Clean and modern hotel good surroundings Heatig within room was only available when actually in the room in person due to the inserting of the door opening card to get electricity lights etc. This made the room very cold.
clean, free secured parking, good buffet breakfast
Almost perfect. Unfortunately no full English.
Location was just in the correct place for me That the breakfast was not open till 10-30am on a weekend and finished at 10am
local to the venue we were attending
Clean and tidy up to date, been twice now. Would stap again if in Leicester. Like the way you can order food to be delivered
Clean, cost, location Staff unfriendly, not a smile in site!
Great location - close to shops and theatre. Very helpful and welcoming staff.
Everything in the room was clean and it was comfortable.
Breakfast was brill
A very enjoyable stay with lovely staff No bad points
The hotel location is excellent, close to the train station & city center, pricing is good, and rooms are large (I had Quad room) for the same price as a double. I did not like the (cold) room temperature, difficult to manage with the heating/AC that kept switching off. Also a lot of condensation against the window resulting in a large patch of water on the windowsill.
i liked the central location, the staff were among the nicest I have encountered in my travels. I did not like the big box like structure in the room. I do not know what it was for.
Room very nice, modern,clean. Staff very polite. Very good breakfast. Added bonus car park included. Bed ok but a bit small.
The bed was so comfortable! The first time I've ever got a good night's sleep in a hotel. Also, the staff were really friendly, helpful and efficient. Didn't find any.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. Just the ticket for two ladies needing a break from the daily grind!
Very good location near to the train station and city centre, nice and friendly staff. Some towels were missing...
Room, bed, bathroom, breakfast Bedroom window was difficult to close due to needing repair
My room was of an exceptionally high standard - remote controls did not work though.My evening waiter was an outstanding young man- Sam. Breakfast was very good, very helpful staff in the morning. All the service ladies were smiling and helpful with directions My evening meal was dreadful - dry liver and soft veg, (I ate late at 915pm)- starter was ok. I would not recommend to eat here. My server Sam was very good, polite and attentative.The staff in the spa area need customer service training - I had to interupt their conversation to get attention after 2 minutes, then they pointed in the general direction of the changing rooms without any assistance to me
The staff made this hotel beak for us, its not often you find people so happy to help you.
it was excellent value for money - had everything you needed especially for an overnight stay No
The location was ideal for us Too big and they struggled to cope at breakfast
leisure complex
Hotel and bedroom clean and well decorated, good facilities breakfast area was like feeding time at the zoo. staff were not able to seat at a table. improvement on breakfast staff would have pulled your score for hotel staff to excellent.
The hotel has been extensively refurbished in the past year. Everything very clean and up to date. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The facilities were excellent. Great value.
Limited evening meal bookings
The staff were polite and friendly, breakfast was very english and the room 15 across the passage was a delight, king size bed and a large bath/shower room also very clean and tidy.
The staff were delightful, and made us feel very welcome. The room was recently refurbished and spotless. I was good to have off-street parking - it felt very safe. Everything was wonderful except the mattress - rather creaky!
Room Friendliness Taking the money before the stay. The poor full english breakfast No cricket on tv!
Very Friendly service food super and rooms very clean made for a lovely stay
Large room with four poster bed. Everything was okay. Nothing not to like.
We didn't really stay long enough - only overnight. However, we were given a friendly welcome and they made sure we had everything we needed, were warm enough etc.
It was really comfortable,room was spacious and light.We used it as we were going to the Great Western Railway, staff were friendly and it was a nice breakfast.
Very helpful staff who gave us quick access to our room to change to attend a wedding. Transport was arranged for us when we were unable to book a taxi ourselves. Good freshly cooked breakfast. Bathroom very small
Personal attention and service
Our room was excellent - beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Old CRT TV - with poor picture. Door in bathroom was a folding door and this was awkward to close, but otherwise a beautiful place to stay.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I had left something in my room and they kept it safe for me.
everyone in the hotel was very friendly and willing to help.
Quick and friendly personnel, nice location, nice interior bath tube was a little shallow
The rooms were of a good size and checking in and out was easy. The food was good with inexpensive bar meals
staff, breakfast and quiteness. it's a bit far from he city centre to walk.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Hands on manageress.
able to register after 10 as my plane was delayed
Very welcoming and homely
Nice room. Friendly staff. Quiet room to the backyard.
The staff are really friendly and helpful , the food is really good and value for money. We stayed in a room with a really large bed seemed even bigger than king size. This is not my first stay at this hotel
Friendly ,warm and cosy, The food was excellent the best steak Ive had in a very long time! I did miss not having hot chocolate in the room. I do like a cup of cocoa before bed!
good ale , frendly service stayed as few times and all ways find small faults like last year two light bulbs not working, this year broken toilet paper holder,ect ect is this down to lack of comunication . Be back in febuary
It was quiet
Friendly, courteous staff.
the room was warm comfotable and even though it was quite near the puplic area it was nice and quiet
Very friendly and accomodating staff
Friendly and helpful staff. Large, comfortable room. Ample, free parking. Good size breakfast with plenty of choice. Depending on volume, breakfast room can become cramped; some tables are too small for relaxed eating.
room especially the DVD player, breakfast, staff were friendly, nice ensuite The breakfast service could have been better
Relaxed atmosphere even with a very large bar area The bar area was more like a sports bar than a cosy "farmhouse" style. The bathroom wasn't wonderfully clean
The rooms were very comfortable and warm. The staff were second to none and very helpful. Great value for money and good central location. I didnt like being woke up in the early hours by somebody messing around with the phone system. I was not the only person who suffered this disruption, however I informed the staff who dealt with it accordingly.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and spacious with plenty of car parking space at the hotel. It is not too far from the town centre but is situated in a relatively quiet location. All this contributed to a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Freindly and efficient staff Car park was a rubbish tip - not a favourable first impression
Ease of check in and check out.
only stayed for 1 night but found it very clean,comfortable and surprisingly quite
Restaurant good value especially breakfast. Room good size and very good bathroom. Traffic noise was a bit of a problem if window open - was quite hot without.
Excellent value for money. very impressed with the buffet style breakfast, both quality & quantity (all you can eat !!).
Good hotel, friendly atmosphere
Helpful desk staff, and very clean. Breakfast was good. Price good.
Breakfast and cleanliness of the room None

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I need to file a ch. 7 bankruptcy in the Eastern District of NY. My home suffered a lot of damage in Hurricane Sandy a few months ago. I recently received a check from my insurance company for $26,000. The amount of damage was much more but this was all the insurance would pay. The money is in my bank account and I am having work done on the house. All the money will be used to repair the house but I need to file bankruptcy for credit cards. If I file bankruptcy now with a lot of that money in my bank account can the trustee take it?
This money would be considered an asset. It is possible that Trustee would have a claim to at least a portion of it. Like any other asset you have what they call exemptions available. These allow you to keep property/ assets in varying types and amounts, which the Trustee cannot take. This can include some money in the bank. Also if you are married and filing jointly these amounts are doubled. You should meet with a local Bankruptcy attorney who can review your entire situation and properly advise you. Most offer free initial consultations.
I hope this helps. Good luck.Ask a similar question
I suggest you repair the house first. If not the trustee will claim that amount as a cash asset with limited exemptions. Unless there is an urgent reason to file you should wait. Talk to a local bankruptcy attorney to discuss your specific issues.
Howard E. Knispel, Esq.
Commack, NY
The above is a general answer and is not considered legal advice. You should contact an attorney before proceeding to take any legal action, signing any papers or upon service of a summons. Howard E. Knispel 631-864-7589Ask a similar question
You raise some tactical questions. Generally, those funds would fit into your homestead exemption, but some trustees might argue it is not. So it is safer to wait until the funds are paid out to actually become part of the homestead, rather than just money in the bank. You need to talk to a bankruptcy attorney who is familiar with how the court in your jurisdiction looks at this issue. Be sure to list your potential claim against the insurer for the balance of what you think it should pay as an asset of your bankruptcy.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues. It would a lot safer to complete your home repairs prior to filing your BK. For a free consultation please call 1800 473 1581Ask a similar question

Po-Po who arrested Mel Gibson reaches settlement
Remember back in 2006 when Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving and said the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world? Yeah, well. That sort of came back to bite him in the butt, as Gibson has been irrevocably disgraced in Hollywood and is now known as the poster child for… More ▸

While coal miners are splendid people with many and varied skills, not a lot of them end up in the diplomatic corps. It's inexplicable.
As a result, the delicate work going on by Cascade Coal and NuCoal Resources to save their exploration licences after some unkind findings by the Independent Commission Against Corruption looks less like negotiations and more like longwall mining . . . the bit just before the explosives go off.
Back in August, NuCoal chairman
The mail idea didn't seem to hit the right note with the Premier.
Now Galt is threatening legal action not only to force the government to decide on its licence, but also to sue it for damages from "misfeasance in public office".
It's indirect – Macdonald corruptly issued the exploration licence to Doyles Creek Mining. NuCoal then bought Doyles Creek in good faith.
Could NuCoal also explore if it might sue the original Doyles Creek vendors for selling an asset improperly obtained? That's a very different issue, a company spokesman makes clear.
At the time it was backed into NuCoal, it appears Doyle Creek's biggest shareholder (and thus the largest vendor) was Galt's own Taurus Funds, with 94 million shares, acquired several months before (and well after the licence was granted).
There's no suggestion of any impropriety by Galt or by NuCoal.
But clearly any litigation will be very complicated. And a little explosive.

The Danish postal service said that it usually takes 2 weeks, and can at the highest take 3 weeks to ship from Denmark to US. I then wrote 2 emails to Ti$a, and they have yet to reply. They were both written Sunday morning (4 days ago). Have anyone experienced similar problems with ti$a/other companies, and what can i do? Thanks in advance2 Weeks ago in Fashion

For WMC Resources chief Andrew Michelmore, 2004 is shaping up as a year of "no excuses" after a series of accidents and delays at the miner's flagship Olympic Dam project.
With only a 20-day delay at one of WMC's nickel smelters scheduled next year, Mr Michelmore said that after almost a year in the top job he believed the company was in a good position to win back market confidence in the group's massive copper/uranium mine in South Australia.
"We're looking for a clean run this year," he said. "It's a case of no excuses."
Olympic Dam is still recovering from two fires and recently reported it had spilled 110 cubic metres of low-grade uranium-bearing liquor from its process plant, leading to suggestions the new management is as accident prone as the last.
However, Mr Michelmore said many of the problems stemmed from construction rather than production issues, and he had the utmost faith in Olympic Dam's management and facilities.
Investors have largely ignored concerns about Olympic Dam, preferring to buy WMC shares for its exposure to rising nickel and copper prices, with the Melbourne group poised to enjoy a year of full capacity across all its operations.
Mr Michelmore, in town yesterday to speak at the Sydney Mining Club, also took the opportunity to add a note of caution to the market's bullish view on copper and nickel prices.
The former world champion rower also confirmed WMC would consider a partner for its unprofitable fertiliser business.
Ironically, Mr Michelmore used the example of WMC's former joint venture with US-based Alcoa to talk up the advantage of a fertiliser partnership. "What we've learnt from the Alcoa relationship is that you don't have to be the majority owner or operator to have a fantastic investment," he said.
WMC Resources was created last year when it demerged its stake in the AWAC joint venture with Alcoa.
The Queensland-based fertiliser facility - the world's lowest cost operation of this type - returned to full capacity in the third quarter after the completion of maintenance work.

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the group's long term performance.
Technological Change and Patents
Much of the group's business is focused on selling products which are technologically advanced or employ technologically advanced processes in their manufacture. In most cases these products are subject to continuous improvement as new technology is developed. The group is exposed to the risk that if it does not keep up with changes in the market place its products will no longer be competitive. This is both a threat and an opportunity since Johnson Matthey can gain business as well as lose it. The group's strategy to meet this risk is to invest significantly in research and development to maintain or achieve leadership positions in those markets which offer sufficient added value to justify the long term investment required.
The group's results are also impacted by the status of patents. These include patents which the group itself registers and maintains, as well as the risks arising from new third party patents and the benefits that arise from the expiry of third party patents. All the group's divisions have significant registered intellectual property. The Fine Chemicals Division supplies active pharmaceutical ingredients to generic manufacturers and can benefit when third party patents expire. If actual patent lives differ from the expectations of the relevant group business, such as by being extended or successfully challenged, this can affect the group's results. The group has established policies both to monitor its existing patent portfolio and those of third parties, taking appropriate action as necessary in respect of infringement.
Much of the stimulus for the development and growth of Johnson Matthey's products arises from new legislation governing the environmental or health impact of its customers' products in different jurisdictions worldwide. This is most significant for Emission Control Technologies where historic and future growth depends on global tightening of emissions limits. Legislation is also relevant for some of the group's other businesses. Process Technologies and Catalysts and Chemicals manufacture products to remove contaminants or to produce particularly pure chemicals. Colour Technologies is supported by legislation phasing out lead, cadmium and other heavy metals from glass and ceramic glazes. The development of the fuel cells industry is also impacted by clean air regulations and the drive towards zero emissions within both local and national legislation.
Whilst the group has benefited considerably from the development of such legislation its growth could be adversely affected if the pace of legislative change slowed significantly. Johnson Matthey monitors the development of legislation globally and coordinates its development work to ensure it can achieve greatest advantage from each new requirement. Regular reviews are undertaken at the business and group level to monitor growth and to investigate other areas of potential if legislation slows.
Global, Political and Economic Conditions
Johnson Matthey operates in over 30 countries around the world including within Africa, Asia and Latin America. While benefiting from the opportunities and growth in these regions the group is exposed to the economic, political and business risks associated with such international operations. The group encounters different legal and regulatory requirements including those for taxation, environmental, operational and competitive matters. It is exposed to the effect of political risk which can include sudden changes in regulations, expropriation of assets, imposition of trade barriers and wage controls, limits on the export of currency and volatility of prices, taxes and currencies. The group is exposed to possible natural catastrophe risk, for example through major earthquake or flood, and possible terrorist action. Management monitors such risks, maintaining adequate insurance cover and amending business procedures as appropriate to mitigate any exposure while remaining in compliance with local and group requirements.
Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)
Johnson Matthey is committed to providing the highest level of protection to the environment and to safeguarding the health and safety of its employees, customers and communities. Shortcomings in any area of EHS can have devastating effects on people's lives and on the planet. In addition, the failure to maintain the required high standards in EHS could damage the group's reputation, result in financial penalties, cause disruption to the business and potentially result in temporary or permanent closure of sites.
The environmental laws of various jurisdictions impose actual and potential obligations on the group to remediate contaminated sites, both those currently owned and, also in some cases, those which have been sold. The group incurs costs annually in meeting these obligations and also maintains provisions for potential liabilities. If existing provisions are inadequate to cover any liabilities or the associated costs arising from environmental obligations this could materially impact the group's results.
All the group's manufacturing facilities are required to operate in accordance with the group's EHS policies which include comprehensive guidance on, inter alia, occupational safety, environmental protection and health management and are set out on the company's website at www.matthey.com. The group EHS management system supplements these policies and details additional guidance and requirements on matters including community relations, process risk management and product stewardship.Continue

In my initial consultation they were upfront on what to expect after my accident and informative. From my initial consultation to my settlement it was a faster process that I expected.

I know Eric on a professional level and am familiar with his reputation in the community. I can recommend him to others based on my first hand experiences with Eric and staff. He calls back the minute I leave a message and seems to genuinely care about his injured clients.
Posted by Mike
have come to this office numerous times, and have always been taken cared of, Eric always ends up pulling through, don't hesitate to give this office a call.
Posted by ivan torres
I've had Eric as an attorney since 2007. He took his time explaining the process and what I should expect. I was previously working with the heavy hitter and was realizing I was doing the running around instead of them. I wanted to learn and understand my case. When Eric took over I realized that I was almost over my two years when I could have lost the right to pursue any claim. I was referred to him by a close friend. Most of what he did, he made it easy for me to get treatment and follow up on my case even while I was located out of town. He was my go to for anything Legal. If he couldn't do it, which was rare, he would refer me out to someone that could take care of me. Based on Eric's hard work, I was very grateful to have been awarded $1.5 million. With that, my life became a little more manageable and I was able to somehow pick up where I left off. In Nov. of 2012 I was involved in another accident as a passenger. I immediately called Eric to find out what to do. He's like family, he really cares and was concerned for my health and well being. I never expected anything from this last case. I had some injuries and minor complaints and thanks to Eric and his wonderful staff, I was able to get something. I am so grateful for him and his staff. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication. Even though they have many other clients they treat you as if you are a priority. Take that to the BANK!

I have been working with the law office and have been very pleased with their help and getting my case completed. It took a little while but its great that I was able to get the help I needed to get bertter,

Working with this office was a great experience. Always kept me updated with the current status of my case and answered any and all questions. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Eric R. Blank, PC to all of my family and friends.

My family and I are were referred to the law offices of Eric R. Blank and I must say that our experience was amazing. The staff members were polite and very helpful.
Posted by Paul
My experience with this Law Firm, especially, Donna has been outstanding. Phone calls handled very professionally and when Donna was not available she promptly returned my calls and kept me informed of everything going on with my case. I feel that she has gone up and beyond expectations in all aspects. Would highly recommend this Firm to all family and friends for any situations involving personal injury.
Posted by Arturo
My mother and I were in a car accident and the driver who was at fault had given us false insurance information. Eric and his team fought hard for us, made sure that my mother and I received treatment, and got us a very nice settlement. My mother speaks mostly Spanish, and his office always made us feel comfortable by speaking to her in Spanish. We would definitely recommend Eric!
Posted by Aaron
You know there was a lot of choices that we could've gone to for an attorney. But when we sat down with Eric blank it was clear to us he was the right choice. The attention to detail and the care that was directed towards my wife was priceless. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked during our lawsuit. Eric blank and his staff I feel went above and beyond for us in every way. Eric and his staff with their attention to detail got us every bit of money they could have. If you looking for a lawyer who will give it to you straight and forward without misleading you Eric Blank is your attorney.

How to Dress Like Kesha
January 24, 2011 by Anna | Filed under Style & Trends
So I received an email from a reader (shout out to my girl Skyler!) asking about how to dress like Kesha. So, I thought what a fun post to do because we all know Kesha's style is anything but boring and average! She's rocker, she's edgy, she's young, she's hip, she's like the devil on our shoulder and we want more. The trick here is to go all out and not be afraid to stand out. Here are my 4 favorite ways to look like Kesha:
1. How to Dress Like Kesha - High Fashion and Rebellious
Ok, so this is not an everyday look obviously. But it is high fashion meets rebellious biker chick and it's absolutely fabulous! Here, Kesha is wearing feather galore with black combat boots with studs on them. How awesome is that? It's refreshing to see that just because you dress up in feathers, doesn't always mean you should wear uncomfortable heels. You can pair a nice loose fitting combat boots with it and be completely different. If you're comfortable wearing feathers from the neck down to the thighs, then find a feather skirt of dress and pair it with a feather coat or vest. A great, easy and really glamorous way to do this is go all black feathers. Black feather skirt with a black feather vest would be hot hot hot! Not to mention easy to find. If the feathers are too much for you, you can get the essence of Kesha by wearing a feather necklace with any ensemble to give yourself more flair. Oh and don't forget to get a healthy supply of fishnet stockings. If you want to look like Kesha, she is a big fan of those!
2. How to Dress Like Kesha - Red Carpet Meets Party Girl
I call this the red carpet meets party girl look because I love the glamour that she has going on with the fur collar. It's a great accessory and really dresses up this metallic mini dress with the ultra plunging neckline. She kept it simple with the black patent leather platforms and a silver/yellow clutch. But she turned up the volume in those uber chunky turqoise and black rings. Don't be afraid to have a lot of statement pieces. Go beyond your comfort zone and really just go for it with the accessories. This look is great for clubbing or parties. It's super sexy and you will be sure to turn some heads!
3. How to Dress Like Kesha - The Casual Rocker
Just because it's a tshirt and jean shorts occasion, doesn't mean it can't be funky! This is a great casual look with her studded jean shorts, loose fitting ripped tee and chunky chunky bracelets. And there are those fishnet stockings and combat boots again. Take advantage of this fashion trend of the combat boots. Rarely is fashion funky and edgy AND comfortable. So go get yourself a good pair of these and wear them out! It's a great casual look and as Kesha has shown, you can also dress it up and still pair it with these boots and look great.
4. How to Dress Like Kesha: JLo With a Twist
Is that Jlo with the brown floppy hat? It looks too edgy to be JLo. That's true, because it's Kesha doing her thing with the brown floppy hat. This is a little more sophisticated look for Kesha which she definitely funked up and it works! Pair these lace up short shorts with a loose fitting black blouse and floppy hat and don't forget to accessorize! I love the wide gold cuff she is wearing with this outfit as well as the bone and gold bracelet on her other wrist. Get a lot of feather pins and gold necklaces and pin it to your hat and spice the hat up if it doesn't already come embellished. Even if it does come embellished, embellish is some more! Get creative and have fun. Also, the stick she's carrying...I'm not sure if that's what you wanna do as well, but in case you do, I think they sell the bamboo sticks at garden store
There ya have it. Four great looks on how to dress like Kesha. If you want to ease into Kesha's look, just find an outfit that you like and see what stands out the most about that outfit. Then you can find a small piece of what stands out to get the essence of Kesha. Then you can get into full on combat boots with fishnet stockings and paint blue stripes across your face.

Pet column: Top pet vacation destinations
July 15, 2013
Now that everyone is outfitted, ID is updated if necessary, the vehicle is packed and the tank is full, where do we go for a pets included vacation? There are websites devoted to the best, the most hidden, the least and most expensive, and even quirky destinations and events. The travel industry has promoted "pet welcome" signs in recognition of the fact that increasing numbers of boomers are traveling with cats, dogs, and other family pets. "Pet friendly" is one more competitive advantage.
Dogvacay.com and market research firm Harris Interactive surveyed 1,400 pet owners to find out how they feel about taking pets along versus leaving them at home, how often they travel with pets and other travel tidbits. Among the findings, 79 percent of pet owners take at least one annual overnight trip with a pet. Further, it seems that traveling with pets is less expensive than traveling without them. Airline and pet accommodation fees work out to be about 50 percent less than boarding or pet sitting costs when pets are left behind. An interesting puzzle is that while 81 percent of dogs owners and 76 percent of cat owners bring pets along, a bit more money is spent on vacationing felines than on canines.
A current U.S. Travel Association industry trend report cites that more households than ever before in recorded history include pets and 18 percent of all leisure travelers take their pets with them when they travel. Tripswithpets.com conducted an online survey of pet travelers and found that more than 65 percent travel anywhere from 50 to 500 miles from home and 29 percent stay in hotels and motels. Of those, 84 percent actually compare pet amenities offered when selecting where to stay. On the top of the list of preferred amenities is pet-sitting services. Some high-end properties provide a directory of local pet sitters that will come to the hotel room to watch pet guests while their people step out. Other preferred amenities at the top of discriminating pet traveler lists include: cleanup bags, pet recreation listings, in-room feed bowls and pet walking services.
Whether looking for a campground, a beach, a swanky mountain resort, or a place with lots of pet related activity, a growing number of web sites and publications provide all the information needed for a memorable pets included vacation.
Dogfriendly.com lists 200 top destinations complete with activity listings. For 2013, most are in California but there are some unexpected listings in urban areas like New York. Fidofriendly.com and bringfido.com are other information loaded sites with complete pet friendly listings, travel tips, and other resources. Gopetfriendly.com features 60,000 listings in the United States and Canada, plus an interactive Road Trip Planner to locate hotels, campgrounds, beaches, veterinarians, wineries and more along the way. They include specific pet policies and fees as well. Take Paws is the travel blog written by the founders of GoPetFriendly who RV full time with their pets. "Traveling with Your Pet: The AAA Pet Book" is in its 15th edition, featuring 14,000 listings. It is available in print and online. Vrbo.com can be searched for pet friendly vacation home rentals by owner.
The travelchannel.com list of Best Beaches for Dogs 2013 includes: Huntington Dog Beach, Calif.; Outer Banks Beaches of North Carolina; Montrose Dog Beach, Chicago; Block Island, Rhode Island; Dog Beach, Fort Myers Beach, Florida; Edisto Island Town Beach and State Park, S.C. Best Towns for 2013 include Key West, Fla.; Asheville, N.C.; Bar Harbor, Maine (where first dog Bo vacationed with the Obamas); San Diego, Calif.; and Austin, Texas.
Petvr.com has its own list of best beaches and other destinations plus pet vacation related topics.
There are canine agility camps, pet weight loss camps, international companion animal events and competitions and more in addition to pets welcome destinations. It's just plain fun to travel with a pet and now it's easier than ever.

Sick of The Kardashians? New Browser Plug-in Will 'De-Dash' Your Internet
As a website on the internet, we've spent the last day breathlessly reporting on the details and ramifications of Kim Kardashian's split from Kris Humphries. While we do this because we know this shocking development is foremost on most of our reader's mind, we also acknowledge that there are few folk out there who don't share the general public's fasination with everything Kardashian.
For those sickos, we direct you to Dash-Out, a plug-in for Chrome and Firefox which will remove all references to anyone with the name Kardashian from your Web browsing. Yes, even Rob Kardashian.
We obviously haven't been able to tests the service out ourselves, since even one minute without our precious Kardashian updates would be one minute too many. So use at your own risk.
