My wife and I (in our early 30's) have decided on heading to the Amalfi Coast area for 7.5 days in October. I have a number of questions that I'm looking for some guidance on. I have tried to do some research but there is so much information I'm struggling a bit to care about the pieces that fit our questions/interest.
1. We can spend about $200 more (upgrading a frequent flyer ticket) to go October 9th to the 16th , versus for free from October 22nd to the 29th. Is it worth it to pay a little bit more to go earlier in October? I can't imagine there is a huge difference in weather, but it also sounds like these start to really slow down at the end of October. I did read in another forum that All Saints day on Friday, Nov 1st would probably be the true end of the season there, so maybe this is a moot point. Thoughts?
2. We are going to be traveling from the Midwest and we will have a very long ways to travel to get there. After basically 2 full days of traveling we will arrive in Naples at 8:25pm via Easy Jet. I was planning on having us spend the night in Naples and then the next morning make our way down to the coast. Where should we go? I've heard recommendations to base in Sorrento, but then others say Positano. Suggestions?
3. The list of places we thought looked great to visit are Amalfi, Sorrento, Ischa, Positano, Capri and Pompeii. We will have 7 full days plus most of the 8th day (our flight leaves from Naples at 9pm). What is a good itinerary for 7 full days to explore these places? Is this too many places? I am going to explore other threads on this topic and try and piece an itinerary together, but I wanted to ask anyways.
4. Should we stay for 1 or 2 nights on Capri? During this time of year, weather could be an issue, so should we just shoot for 1?
5. I was looking at the Hotel Excelsior Parco and La Minerva for our hotels. Seems like we can't go wrong with either, but any strong opinions on these?
6. I would really love to do some sort of boat tour to see the coast line. I don't have a preference on what city we do this, though Positano seems like maybe the best one? Any thoughts or suggested companies to do this with?
7. We love to do cultural attractions such as a cooking class, a bike tour, a concert, local bar, etc. We love to do anything that allows us to interact with the people that are passionate about where they live. Any places/tours we can't miss that fit this bill?
8. Should we go to Pompeii immediately after leaving Naples in the morning or do that later?
9. Since we will be overnighting in Naples, is it worth visiting Maschio Angioino' castle? This looks fantastic from the pictures, but not sure if we should spend a half a day of our time versus just being in the Amalfi area.
That's a lot for now!!!!!! Thanks in advance for any replies to any of my questions . I will be sure to fill out the answers to these questions as I find them on my own too to help others.

Hi B,
We very much liked our stay at www.lesirene.com in Praiano.
Have you considered two nights in Naples before heading for the AC? You could take the train to Salerno and then the ferry to Amalfi or Positano. The ferry dock is only a couple of blocks from the train station.
Regarding your boat tour, you can take the ferry from Amalfi to Sorrento, if they are still running, and the SITA bus back.
For Ferry schedules Positano – Amalfi - Salerno (P.zza della Concordia):
See http://www.coopsantandrea.com/it/servizidilinea/servizi.asp
For current timetables between Capri/Amalfi Coast the most reliable link is:
If you wish to visit Capri for an overnight, I suggest you do it in the middle of your visit. If the weather is bad, you won't be able to get off the island.
Have you considered a visit to the Greek ruins at Paestum?
Hope this helps.

Bluesphee, if you've got the budget... you can do all the things you want to do! Boating, cooking classes, climb Mount Vesuvius, ride the ferry, and use a private guide in Pompeii are all available. October IS the latter part of the season, and as IRA said, weather could create some rough water... and like Ira, I would also lrecommend the Greek ruins at Paestum!
As you're coming via easyjet, I am sure you are aware of the their luggage restrictions.
I personally prefer Positano or Ravello as a base. Naples is *OK* but it sounds like you are looking for more activities and a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. For that, I'd prefer to move farther away from Naples.
La Minerva is a wonderful little hotel on Capri... and I'd also invest in an ocean view room in Positano. or perhaps Ravello - there are has some great cooking class opportunities in Ravello.
With only 7.5 days, I might limit my "bases of operations" to just 2 places. It will take time to get around on the Amalfi. You might also consider using a driver to get you around. I use a few different folks in that region. You'll have a wonderful time!

As for the timing of the season's end, I think I recognise the American woman whose posts you've been reading?
Although caution may see those directly by the water closing mid-month, in the resorts it's usual for most hotels, restaurants etc to carry on until AFTER the All Souls / All Saints public holiday. It's a popular opportunity for Italians - and Italo-Americans etc - to make a visit "home" and pay their respects... with, hopefully, the chance of some late sun thrown in!
Doesn't apply to Capri though - as a magnet for cruiseships, things there continue till much later - whilst at Sorrento the biggest influence is whenever the British package holiday companies decide to finish:
For an idea of how weather and sea conditions can be, try these - which span the decade we've spent on Ischia (as you probably knew, just across the Bay from Capri and Sorrento!)....
That month really big storms are rare, and hydrofoils between Capri, Naples etc aren't often seriously disrupted, the ferry ships even less so - although it takes very little to put the tiny quays and docks of some AC places out of action, at any time of year...
I didn't notice what happened in 2012, but the hydrofoil between Sorrento and Ischia normally finishes around the same time:
...although both places are connected to Naples by year-round services!
Try this for other destinations you might add to that list of visits:
If it were me, I'd consider splitting the time between Sorrento (handy for Naples, Capri, Pompei etc - and especially Ischia!) and Amalfi (if less scenic than Positano, a bus hub with a decent harbour and rather more to see and do locally).... and whilst perhaps a close decision, overall you'd probably get a better vacation by coming a fortnight earlier?
Sounds a horrendous journey, but if you've got to have a taxi or a driver from the airport anyway, they might as well take you all the way to Sorrento?
At least you'd then wake up on day 3 and be on vacation...
PS: Some background stuff:
- try this for other destinations you might add to that list of visits:
- high time it was updated (so do cross-check any and all times, prices etc!), but for more about places along both the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, you may like this 170 page 'Travel Directory':
- and for Naples, which is well worth at least a day, the open-top ho ho buses perhaps?

Three castles to see there, as well as loads of other things and places of interest - only some of which you'll find portrayed here:

I'll try to answer some:
1. We spent a week there in mid-October, and the weather was great. Of course, no one can predict the occasionally rainy day or week, but temperature-wise, it was almost perfect, probably mid-to-low 70s.
2. It's kind of a matter of personal preference. We stayed in Positano and used public transportation or a driver to get to most places. The public transportation facilities in Sorrento are better, but Sorrento is a bit less quaint and more busy.
3. I would call that a busy, but not impossible, plan. If you allot a day for each place mentioned, that leaves you a day or two for just strolling around exploring. That could work.
4. I think one night in Capri is enough, no matter the weather. Others may disagree.
5. Can't answer. We rented a villa.
6. Others have answered, I think.
7. Your hotel probably can direct you. I know there's a cooking class in Positano. It's held in a storefront open to the public. Looked like fun. Sorry, don't know the name, but maybe you can find it by Googling "cooking classes Positano."
8. I think that's a good idea, as long as you think you'll be rested enough and ready to tour Pompeii.
9. Sorry, no experience with that.

Just a couple of observations. Re Pompeii: You may be a bit jet-lagged after your night in Naples after a 20 hour flight so I would wait for Pompeii, if possible. If you are staying in Sorrento, you can visit anytime. If in Positano, easier to visit Pompeii from Naples.
Re: the weather. We were on a similar trip a couple of years ago the last 8 days in September. It was a bit chilly - definitely sweater weather - but nice most days. We had rain a couple of days for a few hours. You really can't tell year to year but it is likely to be cool in October.
Re:Capri. We spent 3 nights. It is so much more pleasant in the evening and morning before the cruise ships arrive so staying overnight is a good idea.
Have a lovely trip.

Thanks very much to each of you for the great advice. I've changed my plans up somewhat (better flight times, etc...) so below is my revised itinerary. We now will be going in early October, so perhaps the weather will be a little warmer.
Before I get to the itinerary I thought I would share which hotels I decided on since I spent a lot of time considering these (especially the Naples and Positano ones).
- 2 nights Sorrento @ Maison Tofani in a double loft room
- 2 nights Capri @ La Minerva in a superior room. I'm still debating on if we want the larger terrace w/ the large day beds you can lay on or the better view. I've been e-mailing the hotel and they've offered me those two options. I'm leaning towards the better view since it may not be super warm to lay out in the sun.
- 5 nights Positano. Still debating between the Marincanto or Villa Rosa. I booked the Villa Rosa and have a 3rd floor Superior room reserved. I'm 99% sure I'll be going with that.
Day 1 - Overnight in Sorrento:
Arrive in Naples in the early afternoon and immediately head to Sorrento. Wander around Sorrento, have dinner and just unwind from our 20 hour journey, and get a good night sleep
Day 2 - Overnight in Sorrento:
Take a day trip to go see Pompeii. Might be a bit jet lagged, but it will be easiest to get to Pompeii from Sorrento. If we're feeling ambitious, go to see Herculaneum (I highly doubt we'd do this though). That's a lot of ruins in one day and kind of a similar activity from the little I know about either one. Based on reading this thread http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/pompeii-with-a-tour-or-on-your-own-what-is-best-way.cfm I've decided we will hire a guide at the entrance since they are all licensed guides. This sounds more appealing than the Rick Steve's audio guide and doing it on our own.
Day 3 - Overnight in Capri
Head from Sorrento to Capri in the morning. Enjoy Capri.
Day 4 - Overnight in Capri
Enjoy Capri.
Days 5 through 9 - Overnight in Positano (5 nights)
Head to Positano and use it as a base to explore Positano itself, do a boat tour of some sort, cooking class at Buca di Bacco, half day trip to the ruins at Paestrum, explore Ravello/Amalfi, relax, eat, drink and enjoy the views .
Day 10 - Fly from Naples to Germany
We leave from Naples at 14:15pm which gives us all morning to get to Naples from Positano. I am on the fence on whether or not to use public transit from Positano or to just hire a private driver. Any advice on this? Is it risky to try and make a 14:15 flight from Naples via Positano/public transit? I'm leaning towards a private transfer since I've heard so much about the unreliability of the public transit.
We end up flying into Berlin for an overnight layover, so with any luck we'll arrive there on time and get to head into the city and see a sight or two at night .
Thanks again all for the help! Any other insights are appreciated.

I should share a few random other things that I've found throughout researching the trip. These aren't in any particular order, but I've picked them up from other threads on Fodor's and elsewhere. I'll try and add others that I find that I think are useful.
Ischia - I've decided to skip Ischia. While I'm sure it would be a blast, I read that it has a lot of German influence (e.g. lots of German pubs). While I love Germany that doesn't sound all that appealing. It also just felt like we were trying to do too much in 7-8 days by adding it in.
I enjoyed reading this Fodor's thread and found a lot of useful info - http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/need-advice-on-tentative-amalfi-coastcapri-itinerary-lots-of-qs.cfm
I read this somewhere.... "but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It's said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens' song… a fitting legend for this alluring island." Sounds great. While it will likely be too cold for us to snorke, we may try to find it.
While in Sorrento, we will visit Il Vallone dei Mulini (Deep Valley of the Mills). http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187782-d669860-Reviews-Il_Vallone_dei_Mulini_Deep_Valley_of_the_Mills-Sorrento_Province_of_Naples_Campani.html
This sounded really cool to me.

"The Road Man"
Lights on the highway through the desert disappear in impossible ways and three mystified young brothers on a family road trip wonder why. The same car keeps passing them in the night, year after year after year on summer road trips and the boys fear it is the dreaded Road Man. This isn't Area 51 and there are no aliens in sight, but the Road Man owns this stretch of all but deserted highway and he's no urban legend.

2017 Toyota Camry Fort Smith AR
America's best-selling passenger car is back and better than ever. With the debut of the 2017 Toyota Camry in Fort Smith, AR, drivers will discover that the refitted, value-packed sedan is loaded and ready to hit the road. A litany of new and innovative standard features will make their debut in this rendition of the fan favorite midsize sedan that is tailor-made for families in the Fort Smith area. Experience class-leading performance, innovation and style when you get behind the wheel of a new Toyota Camry here at J. Pauley Toyota today.
Car shoppers interested in the refitted 2017 Toyota Camry, will find that the new edition builds on the characteristics that have made the Toyota Camry an unrivaled best seller. After a complete redesign in recent years, the 2017 Toyota Camry possesses a sleek design that is backed by energetic and efficient engine options. New Toyota Camry editions are available in four well-equipped trim levels - LE, XLE, SE and XSE trim levels - that will feature affordable price tags with an upgrade to entertainment, safety and connectivity features.
Toyota Camry Value Price
An element that will stand out to car shoppers who consider the 2017 Toyota Camry is a value-driven price. Many new elements and features have been added to the Toyota Camry spec sheet without an increase in price. New 2017 Toyota Camry models start at a budget-friendly $23,070 for standard Camry LE models while luxurious Camry XLE and Camry XSE trim levels are priced at an affordable $31,070.
Toyota Entune System
At the heart of the Toyota Camry interior is the Toyota Entune infotainment system. When you opt for the 2017 Toyota Camry XLE or Camry XSE grades, you will benefit from a standard Toyota Entune Audio Plus interface with Connected Navigation and a JBL Audio System. A seven-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, Siri Eyes Free voice control and a standard Qi wireless charging system are highlights of the new Toyota Camry design.
IIHS Top Safety Pick+
When it comes to a new family sedan, safety is at the top of the priority list. With 10 standard airbags and the innovative STAR Safety System in its arsenal, even standard 2017 Toyota Camry editions deliver award-winning safety. Add an innovative Pre-Collision system that includes automatic emergency braking, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert and Auto High Beams, and the Toyota Camry is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
What is Under the Hood of the 2017 Toyota Camry?
A highlight of the Toyota Camry design is the arsenal of energetic and athletic engine options. When you get behind the wheel of the 2017 Toyota Camry in Fort Smith, AR, you will discover that performance can be tailored to fit your lifestyle. Choose from three fun-to-drive powertrains when you opt for the 2017 Toyota Camry here at J. Pauley Toyota.
Standard Toyota Camry editions employ a 178-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a refined six-speed automatic transmission. Together these elements will achieve a frugal 24 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. Drivers who would like an upgrade in performance can opt for the available 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6. Toyota Camry models equipped with the 3.5-liter V-6 will provide an exceptional 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
Perhaps the biggest advantage that the 2017 Toyota Camry holds over many competitors is the availability of a hybrid powertrain. Toyota Camry Hybrid models incorporate a Hybrid Synergy Drive system that employs a modified 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and a high-torque electric motor to manufacture 200 horsepower. Paired with a continuously variable transmission, the Toyota Camry Hybrid will make 42 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

Man United star Michael Carrick relaxed about his future despite lack of contract talks
MICHAEL CARRICK says he is still in the dark over his Manchester United future - but is "relaxed" about it.
Michael Carrick says he's relaxed about this situation at Manchester United
Jose Mourinho has suggested he is likely to extend the long-serving midfielder's stay at Manchester United to a 12th season when his one-year contract expires in June.
Carrick, 35, has not yet had any discussions with the manager or the Old Trafford hierarchy yet but says he is happy to see how the season develops.
He said: "I didn't know he [Mourinho] had said that to be honest. Listen, I have said all along, I am relaxed about it. It depends if I am playing and if I am playing well enough.
"If I feel I can contribute and if the manager feels I can contribute. There are a lot of things to be decided. I am quite relaxed."
Manchester United have lost a game Michael Carrick has started since April
Carrick finds it difficult to imagine the prospect of playing anywhere else after being with United since 2006 – he is the second longest-serving player in the current squad after captain Wayne Rooney, who joined in 2004.
Some of his contemporaries like Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra moved on to finish their careers with other clubs whereas Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville finished their careers where they started, at United.
"It is not something I am looking to do at the minute," he added. "It would be very difficult to play somewhere else.
"Everyone is different. It depends on circumstance. It depends on a lot of things. At the moment I feel fine. I am enjoying it still. My body is holding up.
Michael Carrick met Julia Roberts after Manchester United's draw with West Ham
"You just have to understand what you can and what you can't do really. At any stage of your career, people have their strengths and what they can't do so well.
"You just have to put yourself in a position where you can play to your strengths more often than not. You learn that from experience. As long as I am enjoying it, can feel I can contribute and the manager does, then great.
"You can't beat that buzz of winning a big game. That is what keeps you going, having success and winning trophies. That is what I am here for."
United haven't lost a game Carrick has started since early April but he understands Mourinho's rotation policy because of the amount of fixtures, with United still in the Europa League and League Cup.
"There are obviously a lot of games in a short space of time so I am not the only one," he said.
"He has rotated the team quite a bit. It is just a busy time. There are a lot of games coming up and a lot have been played so it is one of those things."
Carrick said United's squad could not allow Mourinho's decision to 'exile' Bastian Schweinsteiger from the first team squad to effect them.
But he was pleased to see the German legend - who is popular with fans and team-mates – return to the team as a late sub against West Ham last night.
He added: "You understand all sorts of situations occur in football. You get on with it. Decisions are made by people. There are all sorts of ups and downs along the way. You just have to get on with it. That is the only way you can do it.
"Bastian has trained well. He has trained hard. He has got his game tonight, which is great. He got an unbelievable reception. It was great for him. Just to see him back playing. He nearly scored as well, so that would have been nice. It was good to see him back. Who knows what the future will hold?"
Schweinsteiger, 31, has been linked with a move to MLS side Chicaho Fire in the transfer window.

The Prosecution of an American President Trailer (2012)
"It's time for justice" 05 October 2012 101 mins
This electrifying film documents the efforts of Vincent Bugliosi, one of our nation's foremost prosecutors, as he presents his case that former president George W. Bush should be prosecuted for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq because he deliberately took our nation to war under false pretenses. Based on Bugliosi's New York Times bestseller, the movie discloses shocking hidden details of how Bush and his people systematically lied to Congress and the country. He shows incontrovertible evidence that Bush, Cheney, Rice, et al committed a monumental crime under our constitution and the laws of this land. He leads us through a legal understanding of what is needed to bring a formal prosecution, setting the stage for what would be the biggest and most important trial in U.S. history.

Hewlett Packard, which earlier this month announced it was exiting the consumer hardware business, has pulled a reverse run. The reason is simple: Sales of the HP TouchPad are way up.
"Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand," said HP spokesman Mark Budgell.
Two weeks ago HP shocked its industry when it said it was pulling the plug on all of its mobile hardware. The decision also rang the death knell for the TouchPad, a mere 49 days after its debut in July. HP held the equivalent of a fire sale by slashing prices on its remaining TouchPad inventory. But then sales went through the roof and the company hasn't been able to meet consumer demand. Now, HP has decided to make more, at least for now.

Today I am going to give you 7 tips to make good starts in cycling races.
1) Warm up
A good warm up gets your body ready for the race since it gets used to the efforts you make before the race. You can ride 20 minutes beginning slowly and finishing with several 15-20s sprints.
Cycling racers warm up before a race
In my concern I ride during 40 minutes, 2 or 3 hours before the race start time. Then I don't warm up in the race location except getting my number and going to the start line. Find the warm up recipe who works with you.

Day 13
Posted: Wed, Aug 10, 2016
Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
All Catalinavillians stood in awe at the marvelous view of a double rainbow. The water was glistening this morning, it was as if jumping it was jumping out at us telling us to wake up! It was quite a beautiful view, shimmering water two distinct rainbows jumping from the rocky shore of Jost van Dyke and almost landing on the docks of Tortola. After the views from our morning meal of cereal, everything else seemed colorless. The rainbows had spilled an enormous amount of color on the buildings of West End not only on the buildings, but they also bled through the windows to the spices, jewelry, food, knick-knacks and clothes. While at the wreck of the Fearless, the waves jumped up at us as we set up our dive gear as if they were inciting us in. Once we were all down the fuzz and coral soaked mooring line, we headed south following the island shaped coral mounds. Around 200-300ft heading south, we came across what seemed to be just a small mound of wood and broken steel. We all could tell that this was not what we had intended to find.

Suruchi was twelve years old, when she had blurted out the above words, and her words had sharply pierced the hearts of both the parents.
The adolescent girl had exasperatedly vented out her feelings: "You just keep saying No to all that I ask… What have you ever done for me? And, please…. Do not start on that spree again that you have given me fine education and a home and food etc. etc. Providing all of that was just your duty. Everybody's parents do all of that and much more… I do not wanna talk to you. I know you do not care a bit for me. Just leave me alone…"

Are your children grateful for all that they have received, and for all that you do for them?
Do they acknowledge your efforts and the sacrifices you have made for them?
Is it not strange that suddenly we are seeing an entire generation of children who are just not bothered? Isn't it strange that irrespective of whether you are a Dentist or a School Teacher or a Marketing Manager or a Software Engineer, the atmosphere at home-- kind of looks the same, with some minor variations though? We buy all that they ever set their eyes on; or what they verbally insist that they want—clothes, week-end junk meals, i-phones, i-pads, tablets, shoes, games, accessories, bags, vacations, and much more. And, strangely somehow, it is all too less or nothing for them?
It is not that they are not happy. In fact, there is instant gratification. However, it lasts too, only for an instant. The happiness on their faces lasts barely a few minutes, hours or days. Sometimes, after taking them out for shopping and buying some essential and a lot of unnecessary things as well, and dining at a fast-food restaurant, -- they come home happy but within a few minutes or hours, they can be seen frowning or bored or they pick up an argument with the siblings or either of the parents. The smiles on the innocent faces, which the parents so earnestly wish to see—are gone within a few minutes.
Most parents are perplexed these days… Slogging hard day and night, they are determined to give the Best to their kids. They work for long hours; put up with work-places they detest and are consistently engaged in multi-tasking and juggling with endless tasks—only for the sake of providing the Best for their children. Obviously, it hurts terribly to see the kids dissatisfied. Even if they are satisfied, that look of amazement or adoration for all that they are blessed with, is very rarely visible.
What is to be done about it?
There is a solution; an explanation. Very simple it is… Very easy, too.
Step 1: Let us take a mirror in our hands.
Step 2: Look closely at ourselves in the mirror for one full minute.
Step 3: Close the eyes. Take a deep breath.
Step 4: Ask ourselves a few questions.
Are we ourselves—the real grateful kind?
How many times in a day does our head bow in gratitude for the roof over the head, the two square meals, and the livelihood?
Do we remember each day that we ought to be grateful that we have two eyes; two arms; two legs, a straight spine and a healthy mind?
How many moments do we spend calculating what we have; looking around and counting what others have; thinking of making more money and investing more in property, shares, gold etc.?
Once, we start to answer the above questions—the truth will dawn before us like a flash of lightening… We do easily see the frowns and dissatisfaction on the faces of our children, but alas, we cannot see our own, till we take up a mirror and look therein.
How many of us smile throughout the day, thankful for the parents we have and the jobs we have? How many of us feel truly contented that our children are healthy and fine? Do we still not hanker after them so that they can score as much as the others are scoring? Do we not feel something amiss unless our child is also learning Football, Tennis, Music, Dance, Karate, and Abacus etc. etc.? It is no rocket science that somewhere one reason for our kids being ungrateful is that they have seen our behaviour. They have seen us living dissatisfied; dying dissatisfied. They have seen us spending days and nights calculating the worth of people and gifts… Have they heard us look up in gratitude and say: 'We have enough; we need nothing more. We are happy; we are contented. Thank you ever so much for bestowing so many blessings on us.'
They have heard us wondering which house and car next to buy… How many times have your children seen you sigh in relief that you have all that is needed for a good life? They have heard the mother lament for more clothes, gold, diamonds, bags and shoes. They have seen the father on the laptop for long hours –in search of more lucrative mutual funds and shares to invest in.
While it is no crime to yearn for more and seek better life styles, it is the lack of relief and contentment expressed that probably is touching the souls of our children. And of course, added to this attitude is our obsession to give them the Best, that is ruining their development. A friend who is the Vice-President HR in a reputed Foreign Bank decided along with his wife (who is a senior Software Professional) that they would have just one child so that they could give the Best to the child. While every couple's decision in this matter is a very private one, on which none should comment, yet it should make us ponder at least-- that we have chosen to give Things to our children, rather than a sibling! Which University in the world can teach as much as or more than the precious childhood years with a sibling can??? And which such gadget you can gift your child which will give the child security and joy as the presence of a sibling does?
One or two generations ago, there were contented parents and grandparents who were the role-models for us. I do not remember discussions on money, shares, second and third homes, or other luxuries—amongst my grandparents or parents either. Do You? As far as I remember there were strict instructions that not a morsel of food was to be wasted; newspapers were read aloud; Books were bought for us as 'rewards' for good behaviour; there were very few, but very memorable visits to restaurants and the Best was not handed to us on a platter. A visit to a park did not mean that the mother or maid carried a bag full of juices, chips, pizzas, chocolates, flavoured milk and a whole lot of other goodies. Our children in the parks here can be seen gorging on all of these and many more goodies within a two-hour span. They open cans, packets, and bottles without a care, ---take a bite or sip and throw the rest, mindful of the fact that there is abundant at home or will be available at the next trip to the store.
Discontentment has seeped into our beings so much so that even husbands and wives do not look up and thank God for the partner they are blessed with. We are dissatisfied with our Bosses, our colleagues, our friends, our neighbours… We discuss at home the lacunae in the behaviour of others. We are not satisfied with the increments, bonuses, salaries etc. We are unhappy that we are not getting what we deserve—then how will our children sleep with a smile, knowing that they have got in abundance?
There is but one answer to the Question that why are our children yearning for more and more, and not grateful for what they have…
The answer lies in a simple picking up of the mirror, followed by a pause and a bit of thinking.
Excellent article! We are taught that - If you get "Satisfied"... you will not be able to progress. The constant urge to get more, newer Things, and the freedom to get it anew if lost has made us very "casual" about the blessings we have. Our children are simply copying us!
Brilliant ...very poignant and well written ....definitely some soul searching required here ...Kudos ..take a bow for opening our eyes !

very nice article. every bit of it is right. we as parents must first thank for everything in our life so that our kids learns to thank.thanks dear
Excellent write up ! a valued etiquette, virtue and a quality lost in rat race. gratitude is a gift many of us are missing. Thanks for bringing this up.
wonderful article and very true indeed. let's be grateful to what God has given us n cherish so that our children also will emulate us

Truly said.Someone I know has been practicing a very simple exercise each morning since the last 20+ years.As soon as she gets up, she recites the names of all those who have helped her right from her early childhood. Those acts of help could be 'trivial' or really life changing. She says her prayers much later in the morning - emphasizing 'those who helped me are my real angels' .She IS VERY contented. Not to mention that this has influenced others as well.Pls check out http://mashable.com/2015/04/14/gratitude-exercises/#aO5EK2VdmOqaMay you be benefited !
Very enlightening. Highly impressed. Keep writing.
One of the best reads in IIK ... Thank you for the wonderfull article
Very True, Good Article.We need to Thank God first and guide our children in a nice spiritual way giving importance to the Values and not Money!
So true and informative...Dr. Navniit. God bless you.
So very true and hit the nail on the head! And this is not confined to one country or race or religion. I see so much materialism around me that one wonders how much a single human being can consume in terms of food, enjoy how many diamonds and clothes. And the most negative things that I find in our countries - the so called under-developed or developing countries is the will and determination to give little back to the society, If each one of us decides to contribute for the betterment of our society (in whatever small way they can), we will surely leave behind a better place for the future generations to live.

Taggsladder replied to Taggsladder's topic in Energia - MSPThank you for your input. I think you are right, I looked at some other of my projects and found that I use similar code there that works. I need to dig into it
Taggsladder posted a topic in Energia - MSPHello I don't know if this is quite the right place to post this or if my title is describing this correct and maybe this is more of a general C questions, but I hope its OK to post it here. It is on a MSP430 Launchpad anyway. The code is simplified, there is more parameters passed to the function etc. // I have a function like this. void foo (char* bar) { if (!bar) Serial.print("bar is NULL"); // I want to check when NULL is passed on but this doesn't work? // Also tried (bar == NULL) and (bar[0] == NULL)... else Serial.print("bar is not NULL"); } // Usually I call it like this. foo("Normally text passed here"); // But I would like to call it like this also. foo(NULL); Looking forward to any reply. Best regards
Taggsladder replied to sutekh137's topic in Energia - MSP[sOLVED] > QUICK AND DIRTY I got it working now. Not the best way but it does the job. Just a personal project so no worries. Running the initializing function two times with a delay did the trick for me. // Include LCD library. #include "LCD_5110.h" LCD_5110 myScreen; void setup() { myScreen.begin(); // Start LCD communication. delay(1000); myScreen.begin(); // Start LCD communication. myScreen.clear(); // Clear LCD. myScreen.setFont(0); // Set "small" font. myScreen.text(4, 2, "TEST"); // Display on LCD. } void loop() { } Have a nice day!
Taggsladder replied to sutekh137's topic in Energia - MSPMajor bump I have the same problem. It works perfect except I need to reset the mcu after every powercycle or else the lcd stays completly blank. I could live with it but its just bugs the h*** out of me. Just basic sketch. In the code below I used a IO pin for powering the LCD but also tried powering from VCC with no luck. // Include LCD library. #include "LCD_5110.h" LCD_5110 myScreen; const int lcdVdd = P1_4; void setup() { pinMode(lcdVdd, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(lcdVdd, HIGH); myScreen.begin(); // Start LCD communication. myScreen.clear(); // Clear LCD. myScreen.setFont(0); // Set "small" font. myScreen.text(4, 2, "TEST"); // Display on LCD. } void loop() { } Tried it with the Tried with and with out this. No difference. Tried the library as is and tried changing the myScreen.begin(); function to something similiar: void LCD_5110::begin() { pinMode(_pinChipSelect, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinReset, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinDataCommand, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinSerialData, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinSerialClock, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinBacklight, OUTPUT); pinMode(_pinPushButton, INPUT_PULLUP); delay(500); digitalWrite(_pinReset, HIGH); digitalWrite(_pinDataCommand, LOW); write(_commandLCD, 0x21); // chip is active, horizontal addressing, use extended instruction set write(_commandLCD, 0xc8); // write VOP to register: 0xC8 for 3V

Taggsladder replied to Taggsladder's topic in General ElectronicsThanks for the reply @@enl! Ok, I understand. The reverse breakdown of D5 is 200V. D5 http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/162697.pdf Though I think that I will go with the original plan of just using a DPDT signal relay switched by a transistor, find it is easier when you know exactly whats gonna be switched. Would have been neat to use them magic FET's but clearly I have some learning todo This forum is such a great place, thanks again! Kind regards, Andreas
Taggsladder posted a topic in General ElectronicsHello I am working on a curcuit that need to switch two loads max 200mA. One load gets feed ground and the other load gets feed positive. VCC will be in a span of 6-30VDC. The curciut works as intended when VCC is 6VDC, but at the max span VCC 30VDC all (Q1, Q2, Q4) transistors and the FET breaks when the pin from the MCU goes HIGH. This will happen even if the connector is unconnected. Q1, Q2 http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/699988.pdf Q4 http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1885683.pdf From what stupid me can read from the datasheet Q1 and Q2 should be able to handle 45V between collector-emitter. But I think that I can understand why Q4 fails becouse it can handle 20V max between gate-source. Am I right? Thanks Best regards, Andreas

Taggsladder replied to Taggsladder's topic in General ElectronicsThanks for the reply! TBT, just the word opamp scares me a little, hehe. How comes the zener is used in the link and the title is "Accurate Voltage Measurement". Is there a way to calculate this offset in software or would it be to messy? I am not looking for a accurate reading, +- 0.5V in a 10-25V span would do fine. Best regards
Taggsladder posted a topic in General ElectronicsHello I want to measure the battery voltage (ballpark measurement) in a car so I thought I do that with a voltage divider connected to a msp430 ADC pin, but I wanted to add overvoltage protection with a zener as in the schematics in the link below. I am using 100k / 10k in the voltage divider and a BZX79C2V7 zener. If I leave the zener disconnected I get the divider to work as expected in a linear fashion, but when I connect the zener I get the correct reading when the input voltage is 10V but if for example I double the input voltage to 20V I get a lower reading compared to when the zener is disconnected and the voltage divider is no longer linear. Measurements without zener: 10V in, 0.9V to mcu pin 15V in, 1.35V to mcu pin 20V in, 1.78V to mcu pin Measurements with zener: 10V in, 0.9V to mcu pin 15V in, 1.25V to mcu pin 20V in, 1.46V to mcu pin Why is this so? http://www.re-innovation.co.uk/web12/index.php/en/information/electronics-information/accurate-voltage-measurement Thanks Kind regards Andreas
Taggsladder replied to Taggsladder's topic in Energia - MSPStrange. Changed computer and used a new Launchpad and it worked straight ahead. Well well. Goofed something up I used another library this time though. Don't know if it was the problem. Used this library from here instead, don't know the difference. https://github.com/pasky/Energia/tree/master/examples/7.Display/LCD_5110_430 Thanks anyway, sorry to bothering Kind regards Andreas
Taggsladder posted a topic in Energia - MSPHello Cannot get the Nokia 5110 LCD to work with my launchpad and the G2553. First thing I noticed is that when the library example sketch (LCD_5110_main.ino) is uploaded and the LCD is disconnected the backlight pin is floating. Also there is nothing happening when pushing the Launchpad push button 2 that should enable/disable the backlight. I am using this library: https://github.com/energia/Energia/tree/master/examples/07.Display/LCD_5110 As I said with the example sketch uploaded the backlight pin (P2.1) is floating with the line below either true or false. No errors or similiar in Energia when uploading the sketch. Also tried just to put the pin high or low with other code and no problem so it is not a hardware issue i believe. "boolean backlight = false;" What am I missing here? Kind regards, Andreas
Taggsladder replied to Taggsladder's topic in General ElectronicsThanks! Sound good. Also found this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009 that looks quite nice. I will play around and see whats works best for my project. Have a nice day Best regards Andreas

ESCONDIDO – A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit against the Marriott hotel project in downtown Escondido, which means the long-awaited development can proceed.
Downtown developer Jim Crone sued Escondido and the hotel's developer last year with a handful of business owners calling themselves the Downtown Business Owners for Responsible Planning.
They argued that not enough research had been done about how the hotel would affect parking, traffic and the character of the city's core neighborhood. A judge threw out the suit in May, and the group appealed in August.
The proceedings have delayed construction by as much as two years and cost a significant amount of money, said Larry Kimball, a director for real estate and development for C.W. Clark of La Jolla, the hotel developer.
The hotel, originally scheduled to open as early as 2008, is not expected to be finished until early 2010, he said.
The settlement focused on Lot 1, a large municipal parking lot at Maple Street and Valley Parkway with a two-hour parking limit. The lot is behind several Grand Avenue restaurants and shops.
Its convenience for customers of downtown businesses is vital, Crone argued. He asked the city and the hotel to sign agreements stating they would not issue all-day parking permits for Lot 1 to their employees or to hotel guests, and both parties agreed.
The hotel developer also agreed to pay up to $50,000 toward the group's attorney fees.
Kimball declined to elaborate on why his side agreed to settle, but confirmed the main motivation was to get the hotel project back on track.
Kimball said construction could begin next fall.
City Attorney Jeff Epp, who mediated the deal, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
"It's a step in the right direction in acknowledging a problem with parking downtown," said Crone about the settlement.
Though some downtown business owners were angry with Crone's group for delaying the project, Crone said he never meant to stop it, but rather wanted the issue of downtown parking addressed. "All I ever wanted was some concession," he said.
Crone said he still planned a proposal to build a 500-space parking structure for $6 million and present it to the Downtown Business Association sometime next month. Crone proposed that project at a recent association meeting.

I think a hood is one of the last things I would buy lol
Exhaust, gears, SFCs, shifter, upper and lower control arms(you need traction after getting those new gears), 5-lug and 4 wheel disc brakes, nice rims, and springs.
i had a 4" for a while (went through a phase) but i put the stock hood back on and its definitly staying
whats traction???
thats a worthless question. start with brakes, dont stop till you got cobras or better all the way around with the correct master cyl and a 5 lug, then move on to suspension, dont stop till you have a road and track box all the way around at least, then do your motor, then rearend (trac loc rebuild and gears) then interior (good seats, gauges, clean up, relocate battery) then the other stuff along the way, 3 core rad, 3g alt...
if your looking to keep it close to stock just replace all worn bushings underneath, do subframe connectors, a kmember brace, exhaust, short throw shifter, gears, take out the air silencer, get a k&n, tint windows, bilstein hd shocks and struts, h&r race springs or road and track springs and drive it.
^ too much suspension, not enough power
Obviously you will see the differences between the suspension guys and the motor guys
*waits for guy to scan MM catalog cover*
Im surprised at all the guys pushing ONLY a 5 lug kit. There are cost friendly and very good options for the 4 lugs as well.
!? too much suspension?! i dont get it
me neither, if its not enough motor that just means you can floor it everywhere.
i hope you're kidding but i guess thats just a difference in opinion. Suspension mods are great, ive done a few and a few more on the way, but theres just nothing exciting about driving around a 190hp car to me.
Gears, Exhaust, Subframe Connectors, lowering springs, and some of the "free" mods are the best way to start for me
your suggestion is more for an autocross or road course car, thats great and all but it definitly doesnt apply as much to street driven cars or track cars
it was kidding, i dont hate having a car that handles too well though.
difference in opinion
i dunno, my car is all stock but the suspension definitely has made better use of the power everywhere, once my tires are hot i can do a 4k clutch dump and hook hard, when entering and exiting turns i dont have to let off the gas, but before you jump in my **** it wont be like this for long...
Best Fox Mod= Windsor swap. /thread
Hey weren't you the one that had your 4" fly up on you and destroy your cowl? And then I made some snide remark about it being a sign from God about having a 4" on a mostly stock car, and I think you got a little irritated. Haha!
I couldn't agree MORE!
wasnt planning to jump your ****, i understand the suspension mods for you, as you do the road racing and all that, and youve said you're starting a 347 build arent you?
my hood hated me, i hated my hood. One day it decided to leave me. Its all good though, my stock car isnt stock anymore and that hood got me $3,000 from insurance
Ha, yea, I was just giving you a hard time.
Dart 347 AFR's mechanical cam and a F1c procharger with A2A aftercooler
hope you get a big tax return
nah i just eat plain chicken and hide from the light of day oh and spend every cent of my paycheck on it

ARCAM IS NOW POWERED BY ABT WITH ADDITION OF ABT1010 PRECISION VIDEO SCALING FOR THE NEW DiVA DV137
Video Reference Series scaling technology from Anchor Bay Technologies, Inc. helps Arcam's newest DVD player achieve quality 1080p output while speeding their time to market.
CAMPBELL, CA - May 31, 2006 - Anchor Bay Technologies, Inc. (ABT), a leading supplier of system and semiconductor video processing ASICs is pleased to announce that its ABT1010 Precision Video Scaling™ Technology has been selected by Arcam for use in their new DiVA DV137, 1080p upscaling universal DVD player. With the official launch of their Video Reference Series (VRS) brand recently announced to the advanced digital TV market, Anchor Bay now provides equipment manufacturers and end customers a diverse set of video processing solutions.
The ABT1010 engine available in the DV137 is based on proprietary video scaling technologies that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to achieve an outstanding picture quality for today's high resolution video displays. The ABT1010 is completely flexible, accepting 480p/576p formats and outputting any resolution from VGA (640x480) to 1080p (1920x1080) with no ringing or other artifacts often found in lesser quality scaling engines.
"Arcam is proud to have Anchor Bay's VRS Precision Video Scaling Technology in the new DV137. No other scaling solution we found could deliver the reference quality performance up to 1080p at such an extraordinary value. The ABT1010 chips were easy to install and configure allowing us to focus on getting the DV137 to market on time," said Charlie Brennan, CEO of ARCAM. Arcam's new DV137 is the company's first ever universal DVD player. Anchor Bay's ABT1010 engine allows the DV137 to supply high resolution pictures direct to the display using its HDMI output, bypassing the low cost scaling chips inside most of today's digital video displays.
"We are honored to have Arcam recognize our superior video scaling technology over other available solutions. Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling technology is the reference standard for upconverting standard definition video from DVD players to higher definition formats including 1080p, and is a perfect complement to the already outstanding audio/video quality available on the DV137," said Anchor Bay Technologies' Vice President of Technology, C.H Chee.
Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling™ is but one of the video processing solutions marketed under the VRS umbrella. Other VRS brand technologies include Anchor Bay's RightRate™, AutoCUE -C™, Precision AV LipSync™, and the new Precision Deinterlacing technology. Manufacturing partners can choose to be Powered by ABT by incorporating Anchor Bay's Precision Video Scaling, or display the powerful VRS brand from Anchor Bay by utilizing all video processing solutions under the VRS -brand umbrella.

While surfing, I came across this list: The best beer in Canada. Looking at this list, I see that most of these beers are from Quebec.
Now, I understand that the LCBO is a big nasty entity that doesn't like to bring in smaller breweries, or so that is what people like to believe. I've spoken to someone who works for LCBO and said that they are open to bringing different beers to the market. Yes, it has to pass certain requirements for Ontario, but they'll bring different items in.
So, looking at this list, I have to admit that I've not seen at least more than three-quarters of these beers. Maybe being in French-afraid Ontario, we shy away from our Quebec brothers, but if they have some really good beer, maybe we've been mistaken.
Check it out. Maybe we need to start a revolution? Let's start getting these in Ontario stores.
Again, why should we only see these in the dep?
Here are the top 10, from the list:
- La Face Cachée de la Pomme Neige Recolte D'Hiver
- La Face Cachée de la Pomme Neige Reserve
- Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel
- La Face Cachée de la Neige Premiere
- Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel en Fût de Bourbon Américain
- Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque
- Charlevoix Dominus Vobiscum Lupulus
- Dieu du Ciel Grande Noirceur
- Unibroue Trois Pistoles
- St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Honestly, I love beer. I've only heard of the last two. Who can say "no" to oatmeal?

Homecare Aide Substitute
Who would benefit from in-home service?
In-home services benefit a wide array of people with varying levels of functioning. We serve individuals who need assistance temporarily such as to recover from surgery or hospitalization to individuals who need assistance daily for the long term.
I only want service once a week. Is there a minimum amount of service?
Services are provided on an individual basis. If you have a case manager, they will determine the amount of hours for which you qualify. Ultimately, the decision is up to you. Some participants have service multiple times daily, some receive service 2-3 times a week, and yet some just once weekly. If paying privately, there is a 2hr minimum for service.
Can we change days of service if needed?
Yes, we just request notification so we can adjust the schedules of our home care aides.
Can we change days of attendance if needed?
Yes, we are flexible. Generally, the days of attendance are discussed at the time of the initial assessment but this may be changed to suit your needs. We would appreciate advanced notice for scheduling changes to be sure that we have appropriate staffing.
Do you provide 24hr assistance?
We do provide in-home service 24 hours a day on a case by case basis. Most service is provided between 7am and 8pm.
Can you take me to the doctor?
In most circumstances, we can. Often, we can also provide transportation for errands. However, some funding sources limit our ability to provide transportation.
How are your employees screened and trained?
All of our home care aides must pass a thorough background check. They receive 24 hours of training initially and then must complete 12 hours of additional training each year.
How do I get my parents to agree to services?
It can be scary and upsetting to admit that your loved one's abilities and functioning are declining. Keeping communication open and having an honest conversation about your concerns and goals for in home services is the best approach. We want to partner with you and your family to preserve dignity and be respectful of the desire to remain healthy and safe in their home. With our supportive services, your loved one can remain in their comfortable, familiar environment and you have more freedom and peace of mind.
What if I don't like my home care aide?
We do our best to match our participants to our home care aides but we understand at times that it might not be a good fit. Please notify our office of any concerns or problems that you are having so that we may resolve the problem or try a different home care aide.
How soon can I get started? Is there a waiting period for service?
Generally, services can be started within a few days.
How will I be billed?
If you receive funding through an agency, billing will be handled through that particular agency. If you are paying privately, you will be billed on a monthly basis.

3 Developments Real Estate Fund Sponsors Should Know for 2015
Changes in fee terms as well as new guidance regarding GAAP consolidation and potential future tax developments can impact how fund sponsors structure and negotiate their investment vehicles.
Despite a slight downturn in capital-raising activity during 2014,1 US real estate fund sponsors can expect 2015 to support overall fundraising success as a result of a variety of economic factors. In doing so, however, sponsors should be cognizant of the latest trends in fee terms, new accounting guidance and potential developments in future tax rules. This Client Alert highlights these trends and potential developments.
1. Trends in Fee Terms
Recently, the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) released its 2014 study of fee terms — including both management fees and incentive fees (aka "carried interest" or "promote") — associated with 164 private real estate investment vehicles targeting institutional investors and investing in all types of US and non-US real estate. Among other things, the study revealed the following:
• The most typical basis for management fees for closed-ended funds was limited partner commitments during the investment period, and invested equity thereafter. Open-ended funds, separate accounts and joint ventures were much more likely to utilize a different basis and typically did not apply different bases over time. The most common management fee basis for open-ended funds was net asset value.
• The median rate applied to closed-ended funds using invested equity as a management fee basis was 1.5 percent, with a fairly sizable standard deviation of .41 percent (i.e., just over 2/3rd of such fee rates fell between 1.91 percent and 1.09 percent.) For open-ended funds using net asset value as their management fee basis, the median rate was .99 percent, with a standard deviation of .11 percent.
• Almost all closed-ended funds (the vast majority of which pursued a value-added or opportunistic strategy) charged some type of incentive fee, but more than a third of open-ended funds (the vast majority of which pursued a core strategy) did not.
• Incentive fees charged to closed-ended funds most often (69 percent of the time) took into account a 100 percent return of capital as part of the determination of when such fees are distributed. But there
Latham & Watkins February 9, 2015 | Number 1799 | Page 2
was a significant difference based on fund vintage, with 64 percent of pre-2011 funds and 88 percent of post-2010 funds using such test.
• A majority (almost 60 percent) of closed-ended funds used a catch-up in calculating incentive fees, but catch-ups were almost never used for open-ended funds. The catch-ups which closed-ended funds used were most often (66 percent of the time) a 50-50 general partner-limited partner (GP-LP) split or a 60-40 GP-LP split.
• Closed-ended funds not using a catch-up (the vast majority of which pursued a value-added strategy) set their first "hurdle" at which incentive fees begin to be distributed (most commonly expressed as an internal rate of return or IRR) at 9.21 percent on average. The average incentive fee rate for such vehicles was 18.54 percent. The 2014 study did not separately report first hurdle rates and incentive fee rates for closed-ended funds using catch-ups or for open-ended funds (in isolation), nor the use of additional hurdle rates and incentive fee rates for all closed-end funds not using a catch-up.2
• Only a minority of closed-ended funds or open-ended funds charged other types of fees for managing the funds, such as acquisition fees (25 percent for closed-ended and 24 percent for open-ended), debt arrangement fees (4 percent for closed-ended and 19 percent for open-ended) or disposal fees (1 percent for closed-ended and 5 percent for open-ended).
• Study participants noted a trend of real estate investment vehicles aligning fees to achieve more transparent fee structures, although participants also believed that existing funds had implemented only a few changes in fee structures over the past two years.
Although many of these trends are not particularly surprising, this study is a very helpful confirmation of our anecdotal experiences. Indeed, a number of investors have recently cited the study in negotiations with our real estate sponsor clients, particularly when the investors view the information as revealing "off market" fee terms. Sponsors ignore this information at their negotiating peril.
2. New US GAAP Consolidation Guidance
In July 2014, the Financial Accounting Supervisory Board (FASB) voted to issue a new consolidation standard affecting the methodology for determining when companies should consolidate limited partnerships or similar entities, including limited liability companies. Under the new guidance:
• FASB will consider all limited partnerships or similar entities as "Variable Interest Entities" (VIEs) unless substantive kick-out rights or participating rights are exercisable by a single limited partner or a simple majority or less (by interests in the applicable entity) of all limited partners (or non-managing members, in the case of limited liability companies). FASB will hold entities determined to be VIEs to certain disclosure requirements and will analyse such entities for potential consolidation with their parent entity(ies) under the revised VIE guidance.
• In determining whether VIEs should be consolidated under such guidance, FASB will consider the size of a general partner's (or managing member's) investment in, and the amount and type of fees paid by, the VIE.3
• Fees a VIE paid will not represent a "variable interest" (triggering consolidation) if all of the following requirements are satisfied: (i) the decision maker's compensation is commensurate with the services provided; (ii) the compensation agreement is on terms and conditions that are customary for similar services negotiated on an arm's-length basis; and (iii) the decision maker does not hold other interests in the entity that, individually or in the aggregate, absorb more than an insignificant amount
Latham & Watkins February 9, 2015 | Number 1799 | Page 3
of the entity's expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the entity's expected residual returns.
These consolidation rules are most immediately of interest for real estate fund sponsors with a publicly traded parent concerned with reporting consolidated information on the parent's balance sheet that may be inconsistent with the amount of such parent's true financial investment in, or exposure to, a subsidiary fund or similar vehicle. Conversely, real estate fund sponsors without a public parent may not be particularly concerned with such GAAP-driven consolidation, as sponsors may feel that they can adequately explain the resulting balance sheet to their private investors without a public reporting overlay. In any setting, however, this new guidance represents a significant departure from prior rules, and sponsors therefore should consider the guidance when structuring (or restructuring) real estate funds.
3. Recent Tax Proposals and Potential Tax Guidance
In 2014, the US House Committee on Ways & Means considered two carried interest reform proposals, introduced by Congressman Sander Levin and Congressman Dave Camp, respectively.
• The Levin proposal was very similar to legislation that had been introduced on several other occasions regarding the treatment of carried interest. It would provide that all income allocable to designated service partners be taxed at ordinary income rates except to the extent the income is attributable to certain qualified capital interests
• The Camp proposal was more interesting, because it adopted a new approach to the issue. That proposal would calculate a deemed interest amount on the amount of capital that is treated as supporting a partnership's carried interest, determined by applying the same percentage used to calculate such carried interest to the partnership's total capital (e.g., 20 percent of total capital if carried interest is 20 percent). The resulting deemed interest amount would be ordinary income until it exceeded the amount determined by applying the long-term applicable federal rate (AFR) plus 10 percentage points to that amount of capital. Thus, the compensatory element would be that amount of carried interest income equal to interest at the long-term AFR plus 10 percentage points on a loan equal to the investment underlying the carried interest (or the totally carried interest amount, if less). The Camp proposal applies to interests in partnerships received in connection with the performance of services by a taxpayer in an "applicable trade or business." Based on the statutory definition, whether this provision would apply to partnerships owning real estate remains unclear.
Also, on August 26, 2014, the IRS released its 2014-2015 priority guidance plan, which highlights areas of guidance that the IRS intends to develop between the last half of 2014 and the first half of 2015. Among other things, the plan addresses:
Guidance on management fee waivers. The IRS is studying management fee waiver structures to provide guidance on permissible fee waivers. Although specifics are still unclear, the IRS has informally raised two specific issues in connection with those arrangements — whether the interest in a partnership attributable to certain permitted waived management fees is treated as a profits interest in the partnership, and whether the waiving manager should treat waived fees as constructively received.
Simplifying regulations for fractions rule compliance. The IRS is also studying changes to simplify compliance with the fractions rule. This rule is complex and difficult to work with. The following issues are either problematic or a source of uncertainty in attempting to comply with the fractions rule:
• Charging different levels of management fees for different fund investors
Latham & Watkins February 9, 2015 | Number 1799 | Page 4
• Complying with the fractions rule by subsidiary entities, including joint ventures
• Determining whether a loss is an "unlikely loss" that can be ignored
• Carried interest clawbacks
Although these proposals and guidance have not yet been adopted, real estate fund sponsors should monitor them closely as these possible changes could significantly affect the sponsors' businesses if they become effective and are not appropriately addressed.

2 Note: Without such additional information, the average first hurdle and incentive fee rates for the relatively small number of closed-ended funds not using a catch-up appears to be of limited utility. In addition, in our experience hurdle rates tend to be highly variable depending on vehicle type and investment strategy, making averages of such figures (without information on standard deviation or similar measures) potentially misleading.
3 Interests held by and fees paid to parties related to the general partner (or managing member) also need to be evaluated in such analysis.

Two men remain in critical condition after weekend
A man found unconscious with multiple injuries in a Karratha car park at the weekend remains in a coma in Royal Perth Hospital.
A member of the public raised the alarm after they found the 20-year-old about 6:30 am on Saturday.
Detectives investigating the case are reviewing CCTV footage captured at nearby businesses.
Detective Adrian Richards is asking anybody who has information about the incident to contact police and has criticised people who posted false information on the internet on Saturday.
"I don't want people to jump to conclusions or make up their own minds or do their own investigations," he said.
"All I ask is that if anybody does have information, that they call us and let us know rather than putting it on social media like Facebook et cetera."
And, a 23-year-old man remains in a critical condition after he was assaulted in Northbridge at the weekend.
Police say the incident happened on William Street about 4.00 am on Saturday.
It is believed the man's head hit the ground during the attack.
Police have spoken to a number of witnesses and are calling on anyone else with information to come forward.
Topics: assault, perth-6000, karratha-6714

I used to want to go up to 14 when I was younger. Now that I am older, and not married yet; probably won't be for still a long time, nor do I have children I want to wait till marriage. I am older now still young enough, but the way it's going I'd end up having a child probably min-thirties granted I get married hopefully soon. With that said in reality I'd be lucky if I had even one child, or two.
I would name my child River if a boy and Charlotte if a girl. If I ended up with two children it would be: Charlotte and Hermione for girls maybe even River. River, and I always change my second boy name often the rest of the names have been solid. If I had a second son I'd either name him one of these: Clyde, Bruce, London, Chester or Robin most likely.
