If you want to treat your pantsuits with care, look for a bar-style hanger, ideally one that's at least a half-inch thick and covered with nonslip material. The thickness keeps suit jackets from creasing at the shoulders. A padded hanger, like this canvas-covered one from Hold Everything, fits the bill; four cost $24. Photo credit: David A. Land

Early today, 6:30 a.m. to be precise, under the cover of darkness and all but unnoticed, the Central Lakes College Raiders volleyball team, champions of the Minnesota Community College Conference, the state tournament and Region 13A, left for the national tournament in Toledo, Ohio.
There was no band, parade or pep rally, just a confident team alone with a goal of winning a national championship. It's a goal their coach, Jane Peterson, sees as being within their reach.
"I believe we can win this thing," Peterson said Wednesday before her team's last practice at CLC. "I've spent a lot of time this week talking about not just going to Toledo but, if we're going to go there, that we might as well go there to win. I believe that's possible."
In saying that, Peterson is reflecting a confidence that has been her team's signature on each of its 27 wins this season.
"As a team, we do have great confidence in each other," said Peterson. "We've had games where we've been able to overcome being behind 0-7 or 1-7. We've done that without having had an emotional breakdown on the court. We've been behind but we've never panicked. For so long we've been this solid, solid team. And that's a championship team.
"We've shown we can face hard situations and not fall apart, not blame each other, not get mad at each other or be negative at all. We've been such a positive team all year. Based on that, I believe we can win."
The Raiders will be playing in a pool with Onondaga Community College (37-1), Surry College (17-0) and Rochester, Minn., a team the Raiders beat on their way to winning the state championship.
The second pool also has teams the Raiders know. Owens Community College and DuPage are schools the Raiders faced in a pre-season tournament in Chicago.
"During the Chicago tournament," said Peterson, "we lost to Owens and we beat DuPage. Both of them are good teams. We didn't lose by a lot and we didn't win by a lot. I think we're a better team now than we were then but so are they so we'll see.
"We've received a three seed in this tournament and that's based mostly on the reputation of our region. We've done well before at national tournaments."
Community college volleyball teams do not exchange game tapes the way football teams do. That makes it difficult to know what any team's strengths or even tendencies are. In this tournament, each team will be putting its strongest game on the court, and living and dying with its playing and athletic ability rather than its ability to plan strategy.
"This team is really good at making adjustments during the games," said Peterson. "If need be, I can call in any adjustments from the sideline without needing a timeout to do that. I will try to not over-coach because these are good players. They're experienced and they can make little adjustments by themselves. If we just play hard and play our best, that's all we can do. And, if we do that, that will be good enough for us to be one of the top two teams in our pool, I'm pretty sure of that."
The four teams in each pool will play each other Friday. Then, the two teams from each pool with the best record will advance to the semifinal and championship matches Saturday. That means the Raiders will play three matches Friday and, if they continue to advance, two more Saturday.
"Friday will be a long, hard day of volleyball," said Peterson "Probably the team that wins the second day (in the championship round) will be the team that recovers the best after the first day."
Despite the demanding slate of games, Peterson likes her team's chances. When she looks at her team and what she sees tells her the Raiders have what it takes to be national champions.
"Championship teams act like champions from the moment they walk into a gym," she said. "We've been able to do that this year because we've been having so much fun when we play. It's always important for any team to have fun, but it's been even more so for this team. We've just been so together as a team, so confident in each other. Everyone on the team is on the same page so we go into a match expecting to win and everyone is convinced it's going to happen."
Whatever happens in Toledo, the team will return to Brainerd Sunday. The Raiders' plane is scheduled to arrive in Minneapolis at 11:30 a.m., which should put them back in Brainerd by about 4 p.m. That time frame means more people can see them return than saw them leave.
"The school and the people have been more supportive than usual this year," said Peterson. "These kids notice that. It's been exiting for us that people care. That helps make it fun."
Win or lose, the Raiders will have earned a little fun, and a warm, enthusiastic reception, when they return.

According to sources, that will remain unnamed, the Toledo Public School (TPS), beginning this school year, is instituting total inclusion of children with special needs, presumably dispensing with special education classes. There has been no formal announcement of this intention, so it is not yet confirmed. However, according to the same unnamed sources, parents of children that receive special education service, as well as parents of typical children, have not been informed of this decision, if indeed such a decision has been made; at least, the parents of children in the urban, inner-city neighborhoods of Toledo seem to not know that their children receiving special education services will be thrust full-time into classes with typical children where the support and services they need may not be provided.
Lucas County closed Larc Lane, a school for children with special needs, in 1999, ending a history of exemplary service for the students attending this school that provided physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, on-site nurses and behavior support specialists, as well as one-on-one staff supervision for severe behaviors. Some of the students that were higher functioning attended classes in public and parochial schools where classrooms were located located in a basement or some distance away from the other classrooms in the school. This "inclusion" was really nothing more than "exclusion" within a public or private school setting and the same ancillary services listed above were provided with various therapists and specialist visiting these "included" classrooms on a regular bases or as needed according to the students' individual needs. However, these were the higher functioning students. Those that had severe disabilities requiring more staff and support were at Larc Lane with more staff and onsite therapists.
In one parochial school, which won't be named, some of the students in the special education classes worked in the cafeteria and were ridiculed by some of the typical students as they passed through the lunch line. Because these children were aware of being ridiculed, their self-esteem and confidence were affected, however, they and their IEP (Individual Education Plan) team agreed that they should remain in these schools.I n contrast, when Larc Lane closed, there were a number of parents that did not want their children in situations where they would be treated with disdain, teased, and perhaps even bullied. However, inclusion is the current educational mandate for children with special needs. Primarily, some believe, to pump up enrollment in public schools that are losing more and more students to private and charter schools. However, public schoolteachers who don't always get the support they need when children with special needs are placed in their classrooms and whose jobs may be on the line if children don't pass standardized tests may have mixed or even negative feelings about adding children to their roles that may need extra support for toileting, feeding, and basic self-help skills like putting on and taking off a coat, tying a shoe, or getting a drink of water.
Add to these needs, specialized learning strategies that many children with special needs require and dispensing medication that can include everything from pills and capsules to a feeding tube; adaptive equipment such as helmets, walkers, and wheelchairs, and behavioral issues like SIB (self-injurious behavior), clothes-tearing, and worse; and socially unacceptable behavior such as drooling, spitting, self-induced vomiting, etc. with only a teacher and an assistant or aide in the room where every child's needs are expected to be met and preparation for every test is also expected, and you have a recipe for losing many qualified and dedicated teachers and unraveling the rest.
TPS has been gradually integrating students in learning disabled class into regular classes, according to some individual cases that have been reviewed. However, before children with the types of needs listed above are "included" in regular classrooms, there are some steps that need to be taken. First, parents should be part of the process. Parents of children with special needs are their children's strongest advocates. They should have some input into creating inclusive educational environments for their children. Why was this step, according to the aforementioned unnamed sources, not taken with inner city parents in Toledo?
Secondly, teachers who have not worked with children with special needs can make inclusion work for all children if they believe that every child can learn and are not constrained by "teaching to the middle," but are committed to providing for each child's individual needs. Has TPS provided professional development for its teachers to ensure that inclusion will work and that teachers attitudes which will affect student attitudes are positive toward the change? Finally, there has to be an administrative commitment to provide special education services for children who require these services and have formerly received them. The current trend that states "special education is not a place, but a service" includes the word service for a reason. As the list of kinds of issues that come with children with special needs suggests, the need for supports from ancillary staff is critical to each child's success in school.
TPS typically does not have a nurse, speech therapist, OT or COTA, or a PT, or a behavior support specialist in each school that is on site at all times. How will TPS address the needs of children with severe disabilities that may need some of the services provided by these therapists once the children are widely dispersed in various classrooms and schools? Provided the information provided by the sources is accurate (and considering the sources that provided this information are directly connected to parents in the inner city, it most likely is), if the above steps have not been taken - and it appears that the first step has not, at least not with inner-city parents - the total inclusion of children with special needs may give a school system that already has a low academic rating yet another failure. And this school system has had far too many in recent years.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Find fun things to doin the West Palm Beach, FL area
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Thursday, July 19, 2012
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
This week's bar: Table 26
The scene: Once you enter Table 26, you'll forget that the 156-seat restaurant was once home to a Curves gym a couple of blocks south of the Norton Museum of Art.
Newly landscaped outside, the place is flat-ocean calm inside, a retreat from busy Dixie Highway. And beneath the surface, you'll slowly notice its clever nods to the maritime lifestyle (the "26" in the name, after all, refers to Palm Beach's latitude). The dining-area ceiling features an enlarged nautical map of Florida and its surrounding waters. The high-gloss wood bar looks like it was ripped from a yacht, and the wallpaper comes bedecked with faux rivets.
Ultimately, the neighborly, neighborhood feel of Table 26 reflects the personable nature of owners Ozzie Medeiros and Ed "Eddie" Schmidt (longtime maitre d' at Palm Beach Grill), who live nearby and previously owned a pair of restaurants in Nantucket.
The signature drink: The 26 Signature Martini ($11) is a grapefruit lover's liquid dream. Like all the offerings on Table 26's specialty cocktail menu, it's a gentle breeze, not a bracing gust. "Nothing's a real heavy drink," says bar manager David Ahbol. "It's all light and airy."
Other noteworthy beverages: The sweet Triple Berry Martini ($11) is made with Triple 8 Blueberry Vodka out of Nantucket, and the Silver Margarita ($10) is a nicely lime-licious rendering of the hot-weather standby. Don't want to drink like a sailor? Skip the hard stuff and cruise the 70-bottle wine list, which boasts several affordable by-the-glass options.
Bar bites: The fried calamari "pad Thai" ($13) is spicy-good, but the blackened jumbo shrimp and sweet corn grits ($14) may be even better.
On the horizon: Look for Table 26 to open for lunch in September.
Info: 1700 S. Dixie Hwy., West Palm Beach, (561) 855-2660, Table26PalmBeach.com
26 Signature Martini
2 ounces Bombay gin
1 ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur
2 1/2 ounces fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
1/4 ounce agave nectar
1 slice of grapefruit, dipped in sugar
Shake all liquid ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the grapefruit slice.

Elton John to Pay Tribute to Liberace on PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS, 9/22
For the first time ever, legendary solo artist, Elton John, will perform on the Primetime Emmy Awards stage. The multiple Grammy Award winner's performance will pay tribute to the late world-renowned performer, Liberace, whose HBO biopic, "Behind the Candelabra," is nominated for 15 Emmy Awards this year.
This performance will accompany previously announced presenters Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, who are both nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for their roles in the movie. The 65TH Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live across the country 8:00-11:00 PM, ET/ 5:00-8:00 PM, PT from Nokia Theater L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles, Sunday, Sept. 22 on the CBS Television Network.
The list of presenters also includes powerhouse duos Kerry Washington and the legendary Diahann Carroll, funnyladies Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, sisters Zooey and Emily Deschanel and Allison Janney and Anna Faris.
American Horror Story leads the way in nominations with 17 nods, followed by Game of Thrones with 16. Like Candelabra, NBC's Saturday Night Live scored 15. Justin Timberlake is nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy for his stint on SNL.
Hosted for the second time by Neil Patrick Harris the show will air live on CBS from the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live in Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Busan Metropolitan City Government and Busan Convention and visitors Bureau have opened a 2010 course to train Busan tour coordinators. The program was attended by about 80 aspiring tour coordinators, including cultural heritage interpreters, foreign-language volunteers, and tour guides. The one-month course provided education on developing a "tourism mind," global etiquette, hidden stories of Busan and kind service. A variety of programs, like Busan tour (Haeundae, Dongnae and Taejongdae) and making kimchi, are also prepared. Busan CVB plans to recruit participants who achieved high grades and maintained an attendance rate of 80 percent or higher as tour coordinators. They will be dispatched as tour guides for international conferences supported by the bureau, and to large cruise ships entering Busan port. Most of the participants in the educational course for tour coordinators are retirees that hope to pursue second careers promoting the history and culture of Busan to foreign visitors. Tour coordinator Kim Man-il, a culture and tourism interpreter aged 74 who retired from the U.S. Army after working for 36 years, said "I have been living a second life as a culture & tourism interpreter who introduces Busan to foreigners for five years since I retired," adding, "When I see how foreigners are impressed by Busan's culture and history, I feel really happy." Kim Bi-tae, secretary-general of Busan CVB, commented "The tour coordinator service aims to design and guide customized tour programs considering the occupations and ages of foreign tourists visiting Busan. We will connect the tour coordinator service with T-Buddy campaigns so that tourists will come back to Busan."
* T-Buddy (Tour-Buddy) Campaigns : This is a movement intended to make citizens more hospitable so that they become friends of Korean and foreign tourists who visit Busan.

Los Angeles, California -- In a YouTube video posted Wednesday, Jan. 2, the "Twilight" actor is seen looking very intoxicated and apparently couldn't make it to the LAX bathroom.
TMZ reported the alleged incident happened around 2 p.m. on Dec. 17.
While being escorted by airport security, the video shows Bronson Pelletier -- who plays a member of the movie series' wolf pack -- suddenly start urinating on the floor of one of the airport's terminals as dozens of people look on.
Once he finished, which feels like forever, Pelletier is tackled to the ground by an officer and arrested.

The actor is reportedly due in court for his arraignment on Jan. 7 for the public urination incident, which he denies happened. He faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail if convicted.

"A Good Value"
After two previous nights in other hotels with major issues, we found the Ponca City Econo Lodge a welcome change of pace. Parking was very convenient, staff was very helpful, and room was comfortable.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

It was cheap, but the place was a dump. The front desk girl was smoking in the lobby. Continental breakfast was a total joke. I would call the place pretty sketch, overall.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (KGO) -- A watchdog group held a small protest outside Apple's Cupertino headquarters Thursday morning over working conditions in China where iPads and iPhones are made. Thursday, Apple also held its annual shareholders' meeting.
Despite recent media coverage by ABC News and The New York Times, the subject never came up during the company's 90-minute annual shareholders meeting, the first since co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs died in October. Afterwards, long-time shareholders told ABC7 News that they were surprised.
"Long line of people to talk, and I thought that would be one of the issues, and it wasn't," shareholder Donna Dernier said.
Dernier, a long-time Apple investor, was surprised China didn't come up. She understands why pressure is building on Apple.
"Of course it isn't only Apple, it's all electronics companies; Apple's just the one that they think has enough integrity to actually get in there and make some changes," Dernier said.
New CEO Tim Cook took six questions from investors after a 28-minute business meeting during which Cook reviewed highlights of Apple's past year, which he called "mind-boggling." Shareholders asked instead about dividends, stock splits, scholarships for science and engineering students, and plans for a long-rumored big screen Apple TV. Apple has over $100 billion in cash and short-term investments.
Cook pointed out that Apple generated $108 billion in revenue in its last fiscal year, which was a 66 percent increase over the previous year. That spike, Cook said, was greater than the growth of HP, Dell, Nokia, HTC, Google and RIM combined.
The group SumOfUs.org rallied on a sidewalk near the major driveway into the Apple campus. Its leaders said it had petitions with 300,000 signatures, urging Apple to improve working conditions at the Chinese factories owned and operated by Apple contractors. Apple recently gave ABC News Nightline exclusive TV access to the Foxconn plant in Shenzhen, China, where iPads and iPhones are made.
Cupertino resident Dana Johnsen thinks shareholders are the key to making change.
"I think they need to apply pressure; I think they need to stop looking for more and more, I guess, growth and money," Johnsen said.
Apple shareholders also re-elected its incumbent board of directors, according to a preliminary count of proxy votes. Directors include former Vice President Al Gore and Walt Disney Company CEO Robert Iger. Disney is the parent company of ABC and ABC7. The Steve Jobs Trust is the largest shareholder of Disney.
Starting next year, Apple said it would begin electing board members by majority vote instead of electing them as a slate of candidates. It made this announcement before it released results of a shareholder proposal to do majority voting for board directors. The proposal received 80.35 percent approval in the preliminary count of proxy votes.
We'll hear from shareholders and from the activists as we update this story on ABC7 News at 4 and 6.

How Would Ending the Census Survey Affect Our Work?
Posted by Matthew Brian Hersh on May 14, 2012
The U.S. House of Representatives last week voted to eliminate the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, in the latest move by this Congress to make ineffective government a self-fulling prophecy. Of course the census has been under increasing suspicion for some time now (never mind what the framers said), but data acquired through the ACS has proven invaluable in the housing and community development field in understanding local markets.
Unbelievable, huh? The New York Times neatly captured its incredulity in a May 13 op-ed:
"This is know-nothingness at a new level."
Indeed. The ACS provides annual economic, demographic, and housing data and helps businesses decide where to build, assess consumer spending habits, and determine hiring practices.
While the the move will likely face its demise in the Senate, it's a good time to step back and look at just how this data is used. Recently, we asked some prominent housing experts to identify trusted data sources when determining the heath and trends concerning local real estate markets. Not surprisingly, the census data gathered from the ACS was one of those sources.
So, let's hear from you: how would this affect your work?

Libya court scraps law banning glorifying Gaddafi
- Tweet
- Share this
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's Supreme Court scrapped a new law that criminalized the glorification of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi or his supporters on Thursday after opponents argued it violated freedom of expression.
A lawyer who appealed against the measure said the ruling was an important step in ensuring democratic freedoms weeks ahead of the country's first free elections since last year's war ended Gaddafi's 42-year autocratic rule.
The Supreme Court had agreed to review the constitutionality of Law 37, which was passed by the ruling National Transitional Council last month.
The law sparked outrage among civil groups and legal experts. It prescribed prison sentences for the glorification of Gaddafi as well as for publishing news "harming the February 17 revolution".
"In the name of the people, the court has decided to accept the appeal of Law 37 of 2012 as it is unconstitutional," judge Kamal Bashir Dahan said in a brief hearing on Thursday.
"The ruling of this court on rendering the law 37 constitutionally invalid does not render invalid other criminal articles stipulated in other laws incriminating those who undermine the religion and defame the public institutions."
Appealing lawyer Salah Al-Merghani welcomed the decision, which came before the country heads to the ballot box on July 7 to elect a national assembly, paving the way for a new constitution.
"This law is unconstitutional as it prevents the freedom of speech. We are nearing elections and a basic step is to ensure there is freedom of speech," he said.

How to debug non-texted shorts using Calibre RVE
Technology Overview
In addition to the texted shorts that are caught as part of the extraction process, there are non-texted shorts generated during the comparison process. Non-texted shorts are actual connectivity issues that have been analyzed and found to be a short by the comparison process. Once all of the texted shorts have been corrected, users can begin debugging these comparison errors, which can sometimes be tricky to correct. In this video we will learn how to use Calibre RVE to quickly debug non-texted shorts. Overview: To help fix non-texted shorts, users can use Calibre RVE to see a visual representation of the layout and source netlists used in the LVS run, and debug LVS discrepancies by comparing the source and layout schematics side-by-side. These schematics are especially valuable to designers when schematics are not otherwise available for debug (e.g., Verilog).

One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case.

Cobain dethrones Elvis as top-earning dead celebrity
Posted 10/24/2006 3:17 PM ET E-mail | Save | Print | Subscribe to stories like this
NEW YORK (Reuters) — Rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley ceded his crown to Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain on Forbes.com's list as the top-earning dead celebrity.
The list, published Tuesday, said grunge rocker Cobain earned $50 million between October 2005 and October 2006. Presley wound up in the No. 2 slot with $42 million, down from last year's $45 million.
Forbes.com bases its dollar amounts on licensing deals for using the deceased celebrities' work or image in advertising or elsewhere.
This was Cobain's first time on the list in its six years of publication. Presley has ruled the roost since its inception, said Forbes.com staff writer Lacey Rose.
Cobain's coup was due to his widow, actress and singer Courtney Love, who sold a 25% stake in the Seattle grunge group's song catalog to New York music publishing company PrimeWave.
Ranked after Presley is Peanuts cartoon strip creator Charles Schulz at $35 million.
Rounding out the top five were Beatle John Lennon at $24 million and groundbreaking physicist Albert Einstein at $20 million, whose estate profited from such licensing deals as the popular Baby Einstein educational videos.
Other celebrities on the list include Theodore Geisel, better known as children's book author Dr. Seuss; rhythm & blues pioneer Ray Charles, silver screen legend Marilyn Monroe and reggae superstar Bob Marley.
Past top earners include songwriter Irving Berlin and actor Marlon Brando.

While traveling in Florida, we joined friends of ours at this lovely home for several days. We had heard it was a beautiful, spacious home, but didn't realize what a terrific floor plan and outstanding amenities awaited us too! From the moment you walk through the front doorway, the feeling of elegant comfort surrounds you. The house is immaculately maintained with everything you could possibly want, TV's in each bedroom & a large screen TV in the living room, wi-fi, a lovely pool area & a fully equipped kitchen. The house is located in a quiet, upscale neighborhood not far from Orlando. We ended up staying at the house during our stay to "prop up", catch up on our busy lives and while cooking in the marvelous kitchen. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely plan on staying in the house again. I envision hectic, full days touring Disney with our nights "recharging" at Villa Samosa. I can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Manager response: We were so glad you guys could join your friends! Thanks so much for these generous comments. While we try our best to accommodate even a couple wanting to get away, the gathering of a large number of friends and family are what makes this house so special. The floor plan is so conducive to this. Hopefully you two will be able to get back our way and bring some other folks with you!

We had such a wonderful stay at this rental property. The pictures do not even come close to showing the well decorated and very spacious and well maintained home. The home owners, Danny & Deb were very pleasant to work with. The home is located very close to the Disney parks, in a very nice, quiet and clean neighborhood. We have rented elsewhere, and I must say this is the best property we've ever rented! We hope to stay here again in our future visits. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your awesome vacation home!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Manager response: It was a pleasure to have you folks! It is telling when we can get guests that have stayed in the area previously that express approval with our home. It is especially complimentary when those same guests return to visit. Thanks again for your stay and we so much appreciate your input.

In preparation for a visit to the Orlando area, I fortunately stumbled across a listing for this beautiful home. There is an old joke about not trusting vacation brochures. However, this home will not disappoint! The open floor plan is bathed in Florida sunshine through sky lights. The home and furnishings are well kept, clean and modern. We were in town for a high school graduation. All our family gathered here to visit, 9 adults total. There was ample room for everyone to have there own space. The Villa Samosa is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. While there it is hard to believe just how close you are to all the excitement of the Orlando area. Traveling to and from local attractions is quick and easy. Also close by are grocery stores, shopping and a Dunkin Donuts, that I may have visited a little too often! The owners were very hospitable and a pleasure to talk with. You really can't go wrong with this rental, unless you are hoping for a cramped, dirty hotel room. I would stay here again and would gladly refer my friends.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Manager response: Thank you, thank you! We do treasure all our reviews especially the good ones! We always encourage input and are delighted if our guests are pleased with their stays. Your visit with your family is the most suited situation for our house. We can accommodate small families with the ability to lock out bedrooms/bathrooms to offer a better price than we can for large families, but we are able (and pride ourselves) with the ability to offer spacious accommodations to a large family/friends that also affords them the privacy that everyone needs. This is our real edge over the hotels (not to mention the ability to walk right out to your own private pool). We are so glad you were happy with your house. Please come back and tell your friends.

With the cold temperatures and snowstorms on the horizon, my wife and I were again seeking a respite. Having stayed at the Villa Samosa twice before, we had an insight into the excellence afforded by this property. Villa Samosa is far enough away from the hectic pace of the Orlando Area and Kissimmee, yet close enough to be one's base of operations for any vacation pursuit. Located in a very quiet and well maintained sub-division, it affords stay-at-home pleasure via the enclosed pool and lanai. Just walking along the neighborhood streets offers access to spacious parks and hints of the beauty of Florida at every turn. For those with tourist destinations in their plans, the highways and byways of Central Florida are just outside the confines of the orange grove buffered paradise. Villa Samosa's attributes of reasonable rental rates and amenities of being well located, well furnished and designed for all types of vacationers are what allows my wife and I to return with no surprises, no worries. I recommend this property for anyone seeking excellence in their rental experience. The owner is more than professional, easy to work with and has communication lines that are always open. Villa Samosa ... Excellence beyond your first step into your vacation journey.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Manager response: We especially love to have these kind of review from guests like you guys! We agree wholeheartedly about the community/the subdivision with its remoteness yet easy access. You are so right in your description of it. A little more to our credit is the house itself that we strive to make as comfortable and accommodating as we possibly can. A hotel or high rise just cannot have the same personal feel. We want this to be our guest's home away from home. We appreciate that you want to walk the quiet, safe neighborhood and are able to appreciate the amenities of it in itself such as the children's playground and the pond that can be fished in. We were really knocked down right after we bought this house by being able to pick the oranges in the back yard and actually squeeze the juice for breakfast. We hope we can continue to provide a most pleasant vacation experience and will continue to see you back again and again. You have been delightful folks to deal with!

Very nice home. Close to Orlando amusement parks & shopping. The kitchen seems well stocked, although our only cooking consisted of eggs for breakfast. The home was well laid out and had plenty of room for everyone. The majority of time there was 4 adults & 2 children, however we were joined by 3 additional family members for 2 nights and we had plenty of room. We thought the pool alarm was a positive as we were traveling with 2 small children . Danny was extremely prompt & easy to deal with....would stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
Manager response: These kind words are greatly appreciated. We love to have families with children that find our home "kid friendly". It is very difficult to enjoy a vacation when you constantly have to worry about safety issues with your children. The alarms and safety fence are greatly beneficial in adding to your peace of mind. As for the use of the kitchen, we completely understand the lack thereof of on vacation, but we too find it is great when you do want to use it. We truly hope you guys come back to see us. You were extremely easy to deal with as well. Happy New Year!

This home was exactly as pictured, owners very helpful and easy to get along with. We were there for a week with 6 adults and 2 toddlers with plenty of room for all. If we go back to the area we would rent again.

I'll begin by saying that this isn't the first time we rented a villa but it was by far the best experience. I don't mean to imply that other times was bad, but this was the best. I'll start with the reservation process. Before making my booking, I was in touch with Danny with a whole laundry list of questions. This was a major vacation for my family and I wanted it to be perfect. As many emails as I sent, I got prompt and very pleasant replies. I want to mention some of the concerns I had before our vacation. Thankfully, none of them were an issue. Number 1 was the fact that we travelled with a very active two year old that has no fear of water. My wife an I were concerned that the other kids would leave the pool door open. As soon as we got there we saw the alarm system by the pool door and realized we have nothing to worry about. The alarm sound every time the door is left open too long or without pressing the alarm button. Another concern was the internet speed. Other times I rented villas, the internet speed was mediocre. Since I had to work a few days while staying at the house, this was very important. Again, no reason to worry. The internet had excellent speeds. A third concern was space. Since the last time I travelled, I had a slightly bigger villa, I was concerned we would be stepping on each other's toes. Since we were there for 14 days, this was important. With the pool, ping pong table in the garage, couches in the living area, we all had enough space. I should also mention the assortment of books, games and DVDs available. All said, we extremely enjoyed our vacation and would definitely rent this house if we visit Orlando again.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Manager response: What a great review! We are ecstatic that you and your family were so pleased and that you took the time from your busy schedule to let us know. Guest expectations are so varied you can never be certain of meeting them. It is rewarding to know that we did. We have always prided ourselves with providing a safe, accommodating family atmosphere. It is good to know that our internet accessibility is up to par as well. Others will want to know this. We truly hope you will come stay with us again!

This property is wonderful! The house is exactly as described. It is very close and convenient to Disney. I can't imagine staying on Disney's property when you can stay in a large, comfortable house for a much more affordable price. We had four adults and one young child. The area is safe and it was a nice reassurance to have the pool alarm. It was great to have space for everyone to have some "elbow room" and being able to save $$ by eating meals at the house was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again. The owners are wonderful people and we are so thankful for their hospitality.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Manager response: This guest touches on a factor that many visitors to Disney World should not overlook when deciding on a place to stay. That factor is the ability to prepare a meal (or even snacks) if so desired and not be forced into eating out for each and every meal as is the case most of the time when staying in a hotel room. In many cases getting so much as a cup of coffee when desired can be a hassle. Many "package" deals that include tickets provide savings only to be consumed by extra costs of meals. It was our pleasure to have this fine family in our home!

All I can say is that we had another awesome stay in this fabalous home. Danny and Deb thanks again for the opportunity to stay here again. This was our second time in the home and we are looking for many more stays here. If this is any help to future guest the home is exactly as descirbed, with tv's in every room for personal enjoyment, great pool, ping pong table in the garage and all the works for those that cook while on your stay. We had plenty of space as there were 3 families enjoying the stay. 6 adults and 3 childern ages 9, 10 and 11 they had a blast. There is a Walmart, Publix and other eating establishments near by as well. The parks are about 15 minutes away. You can not beat the deals that the owners provide,and they are very wonderful people. I don't know them personally, but they make you feel as though you have known them for years.That is an awesome treat from "Awesome" owners.Manager response: We are truly delighted to have repeat guests like these folks! Their expression of appreciation is certainly extremely gratifying and more than flattering are the compliments they provided. We try very hard to be as accommodating to our guests as we can. It is a concern to us that this house be a place we are proud to welcome guests just like having company at the home we live in. The area in which the house is located is relatively new and there have been a new Publix and Aldi just recently built within 5 minutes from the house. We hope all our guests can say that they would like to come back again and again!

We enjoyed the house and the convenience of the area. The house is spacious and very well arranged for a number of people. We took 7 teen boys from 16-19 and one 9 year old. It would be very safe for younger children but the alarms on all doors to the pool were more than annoying to us with all excellent swimmers who could not seem to remember to push the button to stop the alarm when entering the pool area. The owner was easily available and very cooperative.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Manager response: What delightful guests to have!! We are so very pleased that these guests were satisfied with the visit with us. The area is a safe, convenient area where the house is located and the house does lend itself to handling large groups well. The safety measures in place can be a tad annoying we do admit, but are delighted to be able to let parents rest a little easier with them in place!

Year Purchased: 2010
About: We are Danny and Deb and have been married many, many years. We love to travel and have been on over 12 cruises (lost count). We love cruises, Disney World, Nova Era (plays classical music with a groove), and Kentucky Lake. Unfortunately, we had no children so we had to do Disney ourselves over and over again! Danny is now retired from the airlines and Deb is still in nursing after a long, rewarding career in accounting.
Why Orange Tree:
We chose this rental primarily because of the neighborhood. It is nice and relatively quiet. People seem to care about their property here. We felt like we could comfortably rent to someone with children that might want to play outside, or play in the playground nearby. Plus it is in close proximity to everything in Central Florida worth doing. We are so excited about being able to provide an affordable, comfortable, place that other people might call home for just that moment in time when they step away from their routine and think like a kid again.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
The things we enjoy at Villa Samosa are too numerous to mention. We love all the theme parks, the proximity to the beaches, the numerous shopping malls, golf courses, and the ability to go home and relax by the pool or catch a movie on TV.

MSPs hear objections to new homophobic hate crimes proposal
Post your comment
Reader comments
I'm surprised at the Law Society's reaction. As far as I'm aware, hate crime legislation does not really impact the nature or lengths of sentencing, but addresses the need for greater monitoring of hate-motivated crimes, allowing the police to target high-incidence areas with increased community safety interventions.
However, I think that creating statutory punishments for hate crimes is logical. If a person commits an act of violence on another person, purely motivated on a predujiced view of the victim's race, religion, sexual orientation, gender or disabilty, then the entire community associated with that identity is at risk. The perpetrator therefore presents a greater risk to society than someone who commits an act of violence on a person due to a reason personal to those individuals e.g. a dispute over money. It is not to say that perpetrator in the second situation is any less deserving of punishment that someone who commits a hate crime, but they are likely to pose less of a threat to fewer people than the hate crime perpetrator.
Anyway, it's about time Scotland's laws were brought into line with those of the rest of the UK.
I agree with you, Andrew. And it also sends a message to wider society that such hatred is not acceptable. It's not funny to abuse someone because of their sexuality, it's not a joke, and picking on someone because of their sexuality or gender identity is bigotry every bit as much as victimising someone because of the colour of their skin.
