Its morning n Jay woke up n didn't see Vidya. He remembered their lovely moments last day n went to shower n came back. He is abt to take his clothes from wardrobe but he found clothes on table. He smiled n got ready. He listened anklets sound n closed his eyes admiring the rythym of anklets sound remembering the beauty of Vidya.
Vidya: Good morning Jay

Jay: Good morning Swt hrt
Jay(inner voice): Aft many days I feel so happy n peaceful Vidya. Ur pleasant smile brightens up my day. I love u n I love to love you forever.
Vidya: Coffee made by ur wife
Jay: Thank u. But y r u doing all these works Vidya. Its not necessary. I just need ur love n loyalty. Nothing more than that.
Vidya: Jay, I am not feeling it as trouble. I love to do ur works. I am just showing my love in this way
Jay: There are many other ways to show love angel
He winked n Saying this he kept coffee cup on table n came near to her n hugged her from back. Vidya closed her eyes n hold his hands. Jay kissed her on both cheeks.
Jay: U can show ur love like dis too. Try it next time
Vidya: Ok Mr. Rock star. Come n have ur brk fst now.
Jay: Ok. I will follow ur orders madam
Vidya: Jay, I am not ordering
Jay: I am just kidding. I know my angel is so sweet n loving. Not only her actions but also her words too are so loving n hurts none. Thats my wife.
Both went to dining table n had brk fst.
Vidya: I want to work with u from today. Shall I come to ur office today?
Jay: Sure. I think u love me a lot n thats y u didn't want to miss me even for sometime. So u want to b with me even at office.
Vidya: No. If I didn't work my husband won't give food even water to me. So I need to work
Jay: Vidya, I already said sorry for those words. On that day, I can't control my anger on ur father n I thought to hurt u. So I spoke like dat.
Vidya: I am just kidding Jay. I already forgot all those. Sorry if I hurt u by remembering it again
Jay:Its ok. Come lets go
Both went to office n Jay showed her cabin but asked her to sit in his room. He explained abt the company, his shows n her works. One week passed by n they are so happy loving one another. They both are in office n then a beautiful girl in blue anarkali dress n loose long hair n cute hangings reached there n entered Jay's cabin without knocking his door. Vidya is in Jay's lap n he is hugging her from back. With her sudden entry Jay left Vidya n Vidya stood up.
Vidya: Don't u know to knock the door before coming?
Girl: Shut up. Be in ur limits Vidya. I know wat to do n wat not to do. First u get lost from here. I want to talk personally with Jay
Jay: Stop it u both. Vidya, she is my best frnd Shwetha. We shouldn't talk like dat to her.
Vidya got upset with his words. But controlled her tears
Vidya: I am sorry Shwetha
Vidya is abt to leave
Jay: wait Vidya. Come here to me. She went near to him n he kept his hand on her shoulders n took her close.
Jay: Shwetha, she is my wife n personal secretary Vidya. She no need to learn her limits n she can decide wat is right n wrong for me both personally n professionally. U have no right to talk with my wife like dat. I hate anyone disrespecting my wife.She won't go anywhere. Apologise her Shwetha
Shwetha: I am sorry Vidya.
Jay: Now sit n tell me wat u want to say
Shwetha: I think u r so busy in romancing with enemy's daughter. Did u remember ur purpose of coming to India Jay
Jay: I remember everything
Shwetha: U married her for revenge. But now u r totally fallen for her. How can u do that
Jay: Look Shwetha, Culprit is her father but not Vidya. We hav no right to treat her badly bcoz she didn't do anything wrong
Shwetha: U r not understanding Jay. U r loving ur enemy. She is ur enemy n she nvr loves u.I am sure she will cheat u one day n helps her dad
Jay: Enough Now leave this topic.
Shwetha: Now ur wife became more for u than ur family n revenge. very good. Her father is cruel n a criminal but still u loves her
Vidya: Don't talk wrongly abt my father. Wat proof do u have to say my dad is a criminal
Shwetha: Everyone knew ur dad is a criminal
Vidya: He nvr do anything wrong
Shwetha: Yes ur dad nvr do anything wrong but We r the one who does wrong.
Jay: I said stop it. Look u both r equally important to me in my life. I don't like anyone to get hurted in both of u. So leave it n just get last from here both of u.
Shwetha went from there angrily n Vidya shocked listening his words saying that both are important to him. She is seeing him
Jay: Vidya, leave me alone for Sometime
Vidya: I am going home. Bye
Vidya went to home n at aftnoon, Jay came home n went to her
Jay: Vidya, did u have lunch
Vidya(shouts): I don't want anything. Leave me alone pls
Jay: I am sorry Vidya
Vidya: No need. When a best frnd is equally important to a wife, its not a small thing Jay
Jay: Don't u trust me?
Vidya: I don't. How can I trust u without knowing anything abt u. Except ur name n profession I know nothing. I can't trust u
Jay: If there is no trust there is no love n relationship Vidya. If u can't trust me, then leave me n go.
Saying this Jay went off n Vidya started crying. Its evening n Jay realised wat he said in anger.
Jay(inner voice): How can I talk like dat to her. I should have explained her how much Shwetha helped me n y she is so angry. Instead of that I hurted her n asked her to leave. She may left by this time.
Thinking this he reached home n its dark. It switched on lights n went to his room n didn't find Vidya. He called her name out louder but no response. He called her.
Vidya: Hello
Jay: Whr r u?
Vidya: At my home
Jay: Vidya, I am sorry for talking rudely to u. I will explain everything to u. Pls come back.
Vidya: I won't
Jay: Vidya pls
Vidya: If u want me to come back to u then u come here n pick me
Jay: You know well I didn't like to come to ur home
Vidya: If u want me then come, otherwise leave me
Jay: I won't come. If u didn't come now to our home then stay there at ur home forever. Bye
Vidya: Sure I will b here forever. Bye
He disconnected the call. He lied on bed for sometime n then called her again
Vidya: What
Jay: Ok I am coming to take u home. Get ready
Vidya: I won't come
Jay: Don't irritate me. I will b there in 10mins n be ready to come. Though I didn't like to come there n see ur father's face still coming only for u.So pls understand. I will call u aft reaching there n u come outside
Vidya: No u come inside home n hav to convince me
Jay: I didn't want to step into ur house Vidya
Vidya: Then don't come I will b here forever. Bye
Jay: Wait. Ok. I will do wat u said. I am coming
Vidya: ok
Jay took car keys n came down n surprisingly saw Vidya in hall
Jay: U here? Didn't u go to ur home?
Vidya: I am already at my home.
Jay: But u said u left our house
Vidya: Y will I leave my house. Who r u to say to leave u? U r my husband n I hav all rights on u. I won't leave u. I will torture u forever.
Jay smiled listening her words.
Jay: U said u r at ur home
Vidya: Is this not my home?
Jay: I thought u left me n went ur maternal home.
Vidya: I know abt u well. U r so mad sometimes. Who will mind mad person's words. Thats y I didn't go.
Jay: So I am mad
Vidya: Yes. I hate u. U hurted me n asked me to leave u. I don't like u (saying like a child)
Jay cupped her face
Jay: Sorry my dear.
He is looking at her.
Vidya: Sorry for talking like dat. I trust u a lot n I nvr talk like dat again. Shwetha is ur bestie. Frnds r also important in our life. I should have understood that. I know u asked me to leave in anger. So I didn't leave. When I know u hate my father, how can I go to my maternal home? I can't go there. I didn't want to hurt u Jay.
Jay hugged her.
Jay: I love U Vidya. U r right I said it in anger. But if u leave me I can't live. Watever I should not have said u to leave me n go. This is ur house. No one including me had right to ask u to leave. U r so sweet. U understood me well n didn't leave me. I am lucky to hav u.
Vidya hugged him back
Vidya: I nvr leave u. Pls smile
Both sat in sofa talking.
Jay: Shwetha is not a bad girl. Her anger is on ur father n not on u. She know everything that happened. I am sure if u come to know the truth, u too gets angry on ur father.
Vidya: Dinner is ready
Jay: Shall I ask u one thing?
Vidya: Ya
Jay:U don't like anyone commenting on ur father n u immediately opposes them. Then y don't u oppose me wen I criticise him?
Vidya: Bcoz for me u both r equally important. So without knowing everything I didn't want to hurt anyone of u. I am hungry. Lets have dinner.
Both had dinner n went to their room.
Vidya: Jay, Still I am angry on u.
Jay: Really??
Vidya: Yes
Jay kissed her on forehead.
Jay: So r u going to ask anything to bring me from outside now at this nite???
Vidya: No
Jay: Then
Vidya: U should nvr ask me again to leave. If u ask me to leave again,then surely I won't stay here
Jay: I promise I won't say u to leave. Because I can't live without my angel
Next day Jay woke up n saw Vidya having coffee in balcony. He went n hugged her from back.
Vidya: Good morning Jay
Jay: Good morning. I love u
Vidya smiled.
Jay: Y don't u say I love u to me at least once till now?
Vidya: I… I need sometime
Vidya(inner voice): I love u Jay but I want to help my father. So before dat I won't say I love u to u. Bcoz I didn't want u to think I acted love just to take pen drive from u. But I really love u.
Jay left her n went from there n got ready. Vidya brought coffee for him n found him wearing another dress not the one which she kept on table for him.
Vidya: Coffee
Jay: No need
Vidya: Jay, r u angry on me
Jay: No I am very happy to know that my wife doesn't love me
Vidya: Jay pls understand
Jay: Yes I am trying to understand u. Vidya, any relationship is based only on love n trust. But u don't love or trust me.
Vidya: I trust u
Jay: Leave it. From today till u love me, I will stay away from u. I think I am troubling u by showing my love on u. I won't trouble u from today.
Vidya: Jay I am sorry
Jay: Don't b coz I am not angry on u. I am just saying I will give u time without troubling u.
Vidya turned another side to hide her tears. Jay closed his eyes n controlled his anger. He opened his eyes slowly.
Jay: Give me My coffee
Vidya turned towards him n looked him.
Jay: Coffee
Vidya: U told u didn't want it
Jay: I didn't want to miss that tasty coffee by being angry on u
He took coffee from her hands.
Vidya(like a kid): R u angry on me
Jay: Yes
Vidya: Sorry
Jay: I don't want ur sorry
Vidya: Then?
Jay: Vidya, I know u r loving me. So I want u to realise that. I didn't mean to hurt u but without love we can't stay as couple forever.
Vidya: I will prepare brk fst
Jay: I will help u
Both are preparing brk fst n someone knocked their door.

Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page to issue a defiant statement in defense of her eldest daughter Bristol, who recently received threatening packages on the Dancing with the Stars set.
Bristol Palin is currently in Los Angeles, where she is competing on Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars. Bristol hasn't exactly proven the most popular contestant in the show's history, and one particularly deranged viewer was driven to send a package containing a suspicious white powder to the Dancing with the Stars set at the CBS Studio Center. An accompanying note read, "This is what will happen to you if Bristol Palin stays on [the show]."
This in turn provoked a protective slam from Sarah Palin, with the conservative politician announcing on her Facebook page:
"I'm in California today to support Bristol. I'm sorry to see that she's again getting those annoying death threats and more 'mysterious white powder' sent to her while on Dancing with the Stars this All-Star season. These threats sure waste a lot of time, production and public resources; but do the haters really think this will stop Bristol and Mark and the show's producers from keepin' on keepin' on? Silly critics – after all these years of goofy antics like this we find these efforts are actually quite motivating! Bristol's not letting this get her down."
After urging fans to vote for Bristol on the show, she rounds off her post by parroting a Bristol quote about the affair:
"Hey, the haters will hate anyway; the critics will criticize, so you might as well dance!"
Will you be voting for Bristol now you've been put in your place by Sarah Palin?

Finisar and Xyratex Demonstrate 12G SAS Embedded Optical Interconnect Within Data Centre Subsystem at ECOC 2012
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS and SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/17/12 -- Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a market leader in high-speed optical communications, and Xyratex Ltd (NASDAQ: XRTX), a leading provider of data storage technology, today announced a joint technology demonstration at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) 2012 exhibition from September 17 through September 19, 2012 at the RAI Conference Centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Finisar and Xyratex will demonstrate, along with HUBER+SUHNER, vario-optics, and LSI Corporation, embedded optical connectivity within a 12 Gb/s enabled data storage enclosure showing how optical links carry 12G SAS traffic between internal controllers via polymer optical waveguides. Embedded optical interconnect solutions are designed to meet the burgeoning demand in data capacity, bandwidth and accessibility in future cloud and enterprise data centres and are expected to overcome the projected performance bottleneck in data storage subsystems.
The demonstration leverages Finisar's board-mounted optical assemblies (BOA), a new optics technology that is mounted on a board much like an IC and provides the lowest power and highest bandwidth density available in the industry. The BOA is protocol agnostic and supports up to 24 lanes of SAS, PCIe, InfiniBand, and Ethernet as well as proprietary protocols enabling an entirely new ecosystem of backplane applications, as well as high speed interconnects for supercomputers, servers, and switches.
"Finisar is pleased to collaborate with these partners to showcase our board-mounted optics technology for up to 28 Gb/s," said Rafik Ward, Vice-President of Marketing at Finisar. "With the ever-increasing demands for bandwidth in optical communications networks, we believe that our BOA technology provides the most innovative and practical solution available today." Xyratex's joint demonstration of a prototype OneStor� enclosure will take place within Finisar's booth at the event. The prototype exhibit focuses on how optical interconnects are successfully implemented in SAS architectures and will showcase Xyratex's next generation 12G SAS controllers, Finisar's optical engines, vario-optic's polymer waveguides, HUBER+SUHNER's optical backplane connectors, and LSI®'s 12G expander technologies.
"Xyratex believes that preparing for the Cloud and Exascale eras requires new innovation in storage platforms," said Alex Worrall, Director of Architecture at Xyratex. "Through working with Finisar and our other partners, we are able to demonstrate real-world applications and start to move these new technologies out of the lab and into actual solutions." Visit Finisar and Xyratex at Finisar's booth #500 at ECOC 2012 in Amsterdam.

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The film of journalist Toby Young's clumsy real-life attempts to fit in at style magazine "Vanity Fair" topped the British box office after its opening weekend, according to Screen International.
"How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," with Simon Pegg in the lead role, took 1.15 million pounds ($2.01 million), just keeping Liam Neeson and "Taken" down in second spot.
Neeson's portrayal of an action man forced out of retirement by the kidnap of his daughter, took 1.09 million pounds.
Last week's chart-topper, war movie satire "Tropic Thunder" with Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black, was down in third place.
Back up one place at four was Abba-themed musical "Mamma Mia!" which has now taken a huge 67 million pounds in its 13-week UK Top 10 run.
"Death Race," with Jason Statham in a deadly auto showdown, slipped a place to five while "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" was up at six from seven.
Biggest fallers of the week were Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in cop drama "Righteous Kill" which slumped four places to No. 7.
"Brideshead Revisited," the latest adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's 1945 novel came in at eight, while the 3D animated children's feature "Fly Me to the Moon" was new at nine.
At 10, down four places, was "The Women," with Meg Ryan and Annette Bening.

By its very nature, an SOA encourages services to be shared across organizational boundaries. Among departments or business units, disputes arise over how to build, consume, modify, and retire services, as well as over levels of service availability. SOA breaches the usual departmental silos, so conventional management approaches tend to fall short.
Many early adopters are feeling their way through these issues. "Governance is a hard sell and requires organizational change," says Bobbie Young, CTO of Unisys. She recommends that organizations evaluate their capabilities to manage such change before going down an SOA path and discovering that endemic resistance blocks any real SOA benefit from being realized.
In some cases, resistance may be unexpected. For example, although the SOA promise of agility through the composition of reusable services sounds appealing to business execs, it also can threaten some business leaders who place higher value on consistency and predictability. "Often, the CFO and COO like the fact that the system is inflexible because it makes it hard for the little guys to change the processes," notes AMR analyst Finley. And the planning stage of an SOA can resemble Congress trying to pass a bill, he says. "There's a huge amount of politics about how to standardize processes. It's easier to say, 'This is it.'"
Inertia can also be a barrier, notes Keane's Daly: "With SOA you're talking about enterprise-wide standards and approaches. But most companies have so much invested in their systems that there's no incentive to change or share."
Other governance issues center around control of the services that are developed. Typically, the service owner (usually the creator) can veto any usage that compromises availability and has disproportionate sway over any proposed modifications to meet others' needs. An architectural group can usually help resolve these issues, such as by ensuring modifications don't hurt the owner; it can also separate the modifications into an additional service that works with the original service to deliver the new functionality without affecting the original owner.
Although specifics vary from company to company, it's becoming clear that there needs to be a central entity to establish and maintain policies for building and using services, including monitoring compliance and resolving disputes. This can be a center of excellence, an architectural review board, a competency center, or a program office.
This governing entity is usually composed of both business and IT staff, and it can be fluid in terms of who's assigned to individual projects based on need and experience, suggests Ettienne Reinecke, CTO of the consultancy Dimension Data. This entity may also set targets and issue rewards and penalties, or leave that to other managers based on the central entity's findings.
How this central entity works depends greatly on the political culture of the enterprise, but it is important that this body — as well as the architects — have real authority to make decisions and enforce standards, the analysts and consultants we spoke with all agreed. Otherwise, departments will fall back to their old habits and have no penalty for doing so. "SOA needs a benevolent dictatorship. Otherwise it becomes a collection of fiefdoms," says Keith Siever, CIO of Kemper Auto & Home Insurance, which has adopted the SOA approach.
On the other hand, you don't want a bureaucracy that puts unnecessary barriers in place, either. The sets of policies that underlie governance need to be organic, with a responsive feedback loop inclusive of all parties involved. And make sure policies are less stringent for services or SOA-related activities that are less mission-critical, such as mashups. Applying stringent, overly detailed policies across the board is one way to stifle SOA development — or to ensue that developers and others simply give up trying to follow the rules.

"I also want to acknowledge the achievements and service of Julia Gillard.
"In all my dealings with Julia Gillard I was impressed by her intellect and strength of character. As Australia's first female Prime Minister her place in history is assured," says David Shearer.

Today, I bought a scale. Yupp. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet, but just the knowledge that it is sitting there waiting for me is a little more than daunting. That's right. I'm officially on the "getting more fit for my wedding" bandwagon. That dress won't look fabulous by itself (okay.. yes it would, but I'd still like to do my part ;)).
Let me explain. I'm currently a size up from my usual due to a very severe ankle sprain that occurred a few months ago in while in Ireland (two words: Irish cider). This kept me on the couch for a week and off the running track for almost three months. I'd definitely like to be back to my usual size if not a size smaller by the big day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those brides that purposefully ordered her dress several sizes too small as an "incentive" to lose weight. My dress fit just fine when I tried it on in the bridal shop. And due to my shape and the cut of the dress (pear-shape for me, a-line with a fitted bodice and voluminous bottom for the dress), I can easily go up or down a few sizes and it will still fit me perfectly; a small blessing of being a pear girl is that my top half has stayed the same size no matter what and is therefore one less thing I have to worry about looks-wise. While a belly bulge is something that won't be apparent in my gown, my arms will be out in their full glory. And you had better bet that I'll be sporting some toned and sexy limbs that day! Time to get to lifting weights, I suppose!
Another motivation to tweak my fitness is the honeymoon! Clearly the future hubs is very attracted to me. But if we choose a tropical destination I'd like to not have to worry about covering up my "trouble areas" for the camera; you're supposed to have fun and be carefree on your honeymoon! I'd love to be able to give my fiance the gift of me not being anxious about how I look in a swimsuit/photographs.
And so, here begins my journey! I'll be stepping on the scale tomorrow morning. Dun dun dunnnnn! Have you Buds included fitness into your wedding planning? What are your goals?

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The Brooksville City Council gets another chance this evening to extinguish a regressive fire protection fee and to pay for public safety through a more equitable property tax rate increase. The council should seize the opportunity.
The council is scheduled to consider several options for balancing its proposed budget and financing its Fire Department operations including a two-tired fire fee that charges every lot owner $106 and an additional 76 cents of tax per $1,000 of the taxable value of the structure on the land.
The fee is problematic. It unfairly provide a break to commercial interests and owners of more valuable lots while forcing all property owners to pay regardless of their lot's size, zoning or use. It unjustly shifts the tax burden to the owners of the most modest houses in the city, regardless of their ability to pay.
If the council adopts the full fee (intended to raise $600,000 annually), it also is expected to set the city property tax rate for the entire general fund budget at just under $6.59 per $1,000. Instead, the council should zero out the fee and adopt a property tax rate of $7.50 per $1,000 to pay for public safety and all city government operations in the general fund.
The council shouldn't shy away from this nearly 14 percent tax rate increase because it simply returns the millage to where it stood seven years ago. This is a bare-bones general fund budget that includes no capital investments, no raises and a workforce that is down 35 percent (30 people) since 2006. It mirrors the multiyear decline of the city's tax rolls that have plunged more than $100 million or 28 percent.
In other words, even with a 14 percent tax rate increase, typical property owners still will be paying less in city taxes in the coming year than they did in 2006 because of declining real estate values.
However, increasing costs in the budget include the retirement plan contributions for public safety workers. The obligation for the Fire Department is $240,000 and City Manager Jenenne Norman-Vacha recommended the council set aside $50,000 in the coming year for future contributions for retiring police officers.
Scrapping the fire fee for a more equitable property tax system should be just the first order of business for the council. Figuring out if Brooksville can account for the long-term solvency of its public safety departments — and the willingness of taxpayers to pay for those city services — is a much broader issues that must be addressed in the near future.

Here's how the publisher (Pearson Higher Ed) describes the text: "With dramatically revised illustrations, the Twelfth Edition of Environmental Science: Toward a Sustainable Future is even more student-friendly while retaining the currency and accuracy that has made Wright/Boorse a best seller. The text and media program continue to help students understand the science behind environmental issues and what they can do to build a more sustainable future, with further exploration of the hallmark core themes: Science, Sustainability, and Stewardship."
Writing the Textbook for the Environment
These past several months, Dorothy Boorse, professor of biology, hasn't been in the thick of the marshes as much as usual. Instead, she's been in the thick of words, writing and editing a new edition of a textbook on the environment. Boorse co-authored the environmental science text with her own former Gordon professor and mentor, Dick Wright, who has worked on several editions of the text for the past twenty years. This was his last as he passed on the baton to Boorse. One conference colleague once told Boorse that, "Dick Wright is the best marine scientist I've ever known." Boorse said she's always found it "a joy and an honor" to work with Wright.

It starts with the best of ambitions: a determination to keep to a rigorous workout routine and a sensible diet. It ends as we collapse into bed having had a double helping of dessert and having failed to do any exercise at all.
It is a sad fact that a life of travel is usually inextricably linked with an unhealthy way of living it. This is especially frustrating for me, because I would best be described as a gymaholic at home. So why is it so hard to keep fit on the road?
Let's start with the idea that you get up early and go to the gym. Fine, except you probably got to bed way too late after a long meeting. If I do make it to the hotel gym, the chances are it's just a converted meeting room laughingly called "the fitness centre" and the "equipment" is some multi-purpose contraption with levers, pulleys and cables that promises to work every part of the body. Except that it has been poorly maintained, squeals like a train, and is probably wickedly dangerous.
So, I choose to run on a treadmill instead. I rapidly discover the room isn't properly ventilated for several people engaged in this sort of behaviour. And, before long, I decide to abandon the whole thing.
Then comes the diet. My trainer tells me to eat every three hours or so with a balanced meal of protein, carbs and fats. In theory this is perfectly possible: there are lots of healthy options with most breakfast buffets; they just rarely find their way on to my plate. As for lunch: don't make me laugh. It's grab a snack here or there.
Dinner is the most difficult. Remember the old rule? "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper." Tell that to the Italian Chamber of Commerce, which insists on treating you to a repast worthy of a state banquet.
But enough pessimism. In fact, the biggest obstacle to keeping fit on the road is not the practicalities, but our own mentality. Visit a hotel gym early and I will bet you that it's mainly Americans huffing and puffing on the machines, because they still strive for what is possible. The Europeans are probably still recovering from the night before, because they believe the damage is already done. I go for the American approach - and make the best effort I can. Here are my top five tips on how to keep fit on the road.
1. Learn about what you can do with body-weight exercise. A few push ups in your hotel room require nothing but determination.
2. Don't skip breakfast, but do get all the food at once. You'll be shocked at how much you are intending to eat when you see all the plates laid out in a row.
3. Travel with protein bars and keep them in your hand luggage.
4. Never go to a business dinner feeling hungry.
5. Enjoy dessert if you have it. Just don't whine to everyone else about how you really shouldn't.
It has taken me 20 years of travelling to realise that I can travel and be healthy, just not all the time. The excuses pour out faster than béarnaise sauce on steak: I don't have time, I am too tired, I had to have that 10-course dégustation menu just to be polite. Rubbish. With 90,000 miles so far travelled this year I can tell you it's perfectly possible. Keeping fit on the road is a state of mind. Get that in good shape and the body will follow. - The Independent on Sunday

Ariadne String Quartet to Perform April 4
Contributed by Erik Kibelsbeck on 03/31/04
The ensemble will collaborate with three guest artists. Dancer Jeanne Goddard will perform original choreography to Igor Stravinsky's Three Pieces for String Quartet. Pianist Charis Dimaras and tenor David Parks will join the Ariadne Quartet in performances of Ralph Vaughan Williams's On Wenlock Edge and Beethoven's String Quartet op. 59, no. 3.
"The Stravinsky piece is evocative and vivid," says Debra Moree, violist with the Ariadne String Quartet. "We decided that including a dancer in the performance would be appropriate, fun, and out of the ordinary."
In addition to Moree, the ensemble is composed of cellist Elizabeth Simkin and violinists Susan Waterbury and Rebecca Ansel. Formed in 1994 by members of the string faculty at the Ithaca College School of Music, the Ariadne String Quartet performs regularly at Ithaca College as well as in recital series throughout the region. The members of the group are also dedicated and experienced teachers, and each musician supports and nurtures large individual teaching studios. Together they team teach a thriving quartet seminar for six student string quartets.
Chair of the dance program at Wells College since 1987, Goddard teaches modern dance, ballet, composition, and improvisation. She is a founding member of Floorplay Contemporary Dance Theatre in Buffalo and of the improvisational cooperative Firehouse Dance Company in Ithaca. Her concert choreography has been commissioned by ballet, modern dance, and opera companies; WNED Public Television in Buffalo; and the Western New York Institute for the Arts in Education.
Parks is a professor of music performance in the School of Music. He recently represented the United States in a performance of Mozart's Requiem in Sarajevo, commemorating the victims of terrorism throughout the world. He has performed with opera companies nationwide including the Syracuse Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Chautauqua Opera, Arizona Opera, and Opera Delaware.
Dimaras is an assistant professor of musical performance in the School of Music. He has appeared with the Greek National Symphony Orchestra, the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, and the MAV Hungarian Symphony Orchestra. In addition, he has performed at the Salzburg Mozarteum International summer concerts, the Brighton and Newcastle International Chamber Music Festivals, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw Hall, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Juilliard Theater, and Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

WASHINGTON (Aug. 8)
The White House today announced that President Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin will meet Tuesday, September 5, to "seek a framework for peace in the Middle East." (In Jerusalem, Begin scheduled a press conference for tonight. See story P.3.)
Presidential News Secretary Jody Powell said that the tripartite summit will take place at Camp David, President Carter's retreat in the nearby Maryland mountains, and that "no specific time is set for the duration of the meeting."
Powell's announcement also said, "All three leaders agree that there is no more important task than the search for peace." He added that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who has been conferring with Begin and Sadat in the Middle East, informed the Middle Eastern leaders of the President's invitation to meet with him and they "have welcomed this meeting." Powell said "the President is gratified by their response. "He also said that each of the three leaders will be accompanied to Camp David by "small numbers of their principal advisors."
Immediately after Powell concluded his brief announcement, a high Administration official told reporters that Carter's initiative was taken because lately in the Middle Eastern situation there was a slowdown in the momentum towards peace. He said there have been "intensified polemics and the parties, instead of moving towards peace, have been drifting away from it. It was in these circumstances that President Carter decided to take the initiative of bringing the parties together."
This was done now, this official continued, "not because chances of peace are so high, but that the stakes are very high–not because prospects are so good but because the risks have risen. We feel it is important to maintain the momentum not only because of regional stability but because of the large international dimensions both political and economic.
"We have no illusions that the meeting at Camp David will produce a settlement but it certainly can help in narrowing down existing differences. It can help a great deal in bringing the parties at this period into face-to-face sustained personal contact to surface existing agreements which have been produced by President Carter's persistent difficult efforts over the last eighteen months.
"These efforts have in fact widened the areas of agreement and we feel with the personal contact we can encourage the parties to resume more direct negotiations themselves. We thus hope, by setting up this meeting, we could contribute to the removal of the obstacles that have both lately and more generally prevented the movement towards peace. The meeting at Camp David is designed to serve that objective."
Powell, when asked what were "the risks" that the high Administration official had referred to, said that they were "only in the sense the momentum" towards peace "has slowed down." When he was asked about the "framework," Powell responded that Vance is on his way back to Washington and "detailed information" should be obtained from him.
Observers here took note that the White House remarks about the meeting were carefully couched to diminish the stigma attached to Sadat for his insulting remarks about Begin and his refusal to meet with Israel until Israel agreed to full withdrawal from lands it has been administering since the Six-Day War. The Begin government, on the other hand, in recent weeks, has offered to compromise and won praise from the State Department that "appreciated" its position.
There was also some consideration that Carter took the initiative to call the two leaders to Washington to prevent total collapse of the Sadat initiative of last November when he went to Jerusalem. At this time, when Congressional ire is rising against both Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the maneuvering to force Israel into accepting the precondition of withdrawal before negotiations, the fact that Congress may be adjourning for the November elections and the intention by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, including Saudi Arabia, to raise oil prices also were seen as factors in the President's decision.
It was also considered possible that Carter may put forward "suggestions" towards a settlement which would be in line with his previous assertions of Israel withdrawing to its 1967 borders except for "minor adjustments." Therefore, the summit meeting may be considered a testing of both the intentions of Carter, whose concept of a settlement is much closer to Sadat's perception than Begin's, and the ability of Sadat to allow Israel to retain air bases and the Rafoh salient for security reasons.
Prior to the White House announcement of the trilateral meeting, Carter disclosed his initiative to leaders of the House and Senate. Afterwards, those meeting with reporters praised the President for his action which was described as "a gamble" and the best chance for progress towards peace.
Sen. Frank Church (D. Ida.), who will head the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January, said, "It may well be the last best hope for peace in the Middle East. Sadat and Begin have indicated willingness to have another go at it and President Carter is to be commended for his initiative and determination in getting the talks going again."
Sen. Jacob Javits (R. NY) said that he believes the President is correct in having Sadat and Begin confer with him "quietly" at Camp David. He said it was a "gamble" in trying to "find some ground on which progress can be made." Javits added that the trilateral meeting means that "the United States has not fallen for the idea of a peace plan of its own which would be a disaster or a prelude to disaster."
Sen. Alan Cranston (D. Cal.), the assistant Senate Democratic Leader, warned that the Camp David meeting would not necessarily result in a significant breakthrough and that he did not expect "Israel and Egypt will sign a peace agreement in the near future." He said he felt Carter would not offer a peace plan but would act as a mediator and that his "formula is to get people together."
House Majority Leader Jim Wright (D. Tex.) said it was "the most positive development which has occurred this year for peace" and that "President Carter has demonstrated real leadership at a time when leadership is desperately needed to get the peace process back on the track." Assistant House Leader John Brodemas (D. Ind.) said Carter should have the support of all Americans, adding that without" such leadership from the United States, the prospects for peace would be very bleak."
Sen. Richard Stone (D. Fla.), the Senate Foreign Relations Middle East Subcommittee chairman, said he was "optimistic" over the trilateral meeting. Noting the prompt acceptance by Begin and Sadat of Carter's invitation, he said that "indicates both sides want peace and are willing to bargain face-to-face consistent with their own safety that will bring peace."
Jewish leaders also hailed the summit meeting as a major step in resolving the differences between Israel and Egypt and praised Carter's initiative in bringing the parties together. Among those welcoming the development were Theodore Mann, chairman, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; Richard Maass, president, American Jewish Committee; and Howard Squadran, president, American Jewish Congress.

WHEN people talk about the current ''golden age'' of television drama, they usually mean the American trend for daring, edgy, complex and often violent series, pioneered by HBO shows such as The Wire and The Sopranos.
But people also talk about Denmark's incredible crime shows such as The Killing, powerful French thrillers (Spiral), or the usual classy British offerings (Downton Abbey).
Or maybe they're talking about something else. ''One of the best dramas I've seen in years was The Slap,'' an English screenwriter says at the 2012 London Screenwriters Festival.
It's a reminder that Australian drama is on a high. Between Underbelly and Howzat!, Redfern Now and Puberty Blues, we're obviously doing something right.
The secret? According to the writers at the festival: ''It's all in the script.'' And the visiting producers and executives, eager to meet writers, seem to agree.
Many of the 500 screenwriters and hopefuls are more interested in the glamorous world of feature films, but according to the festival speakers, they should think small. ''Smaller, more intimate stories are migrating to television,'' director David Yates says, ''where they do that sort of thing really well.''
Before translating the last three Harry Potter novels to the big screen, Yates made his name on television. He directed the acclaimed 2003 BBC thriller State of Play, scripted by Paul Abbott. Abbott (known for the ABC2 drama Hit & Miss) was so respected by the BBC that State of Play went into production before the scripts were even written. ''I think one of the charms of the series,'' Yates says, ''is you don't know where it's heading - and neither did Paul.''
In Britain, the top television writers get this kind of latitude. After playwright Russell T. Davies had success on commercial television, BBC execs asked him what would make him work for them. His answer: ''Bring back Doctor Who.''
To lure Davies to their studios, the BBC renewed the long-dormant series. It was a critical and ratings success, and a lesson for television execs: sometimes writers know best. Also, bringing back an old series might work. Wentworth, the coming Prisoner reboot, might not be a bad idea after all.
Yet even the festival crowd (mainly from Britain, but also from Europe, Australia and elsewhere) was buzzing about the renaissance in the US, where the high budgets are finally being matched by a focus on writing. Like Abbott or Davies, top writers are now treated with as much reverence as lead actors.
Britain has followed the lead of the new American dramas. ''Doctor Who rebooted in a completely different mindset,'' the festival director, Chris Jones, says, ''clearly based more on the American structure of single narratives and long story threads. It's more like Mad Men than like the original Doctor Who.'' Many Australian series (Rake, Offspring) use this style. Yet Mad Men, often cited as a model for quality writing, was almost never made. ''For several years, the script was just languishing,'' says part of the writing team, Lisa Albert, speaking at the festival. ''They [programmers] were saying 'Nobody wants to do period drama.''' More proof that writers often know best.
So that's the secret of success? Set your drama in the advertising world during the 1960s? Or the world of Sydney schoolgirls in the 1970s? Or anywhere at all during the 1920s?
Possibly not. Mad Men has been copied by shows such as Pan Am and The Playboy Club, network shows set in the 1960s that were cancelled soon after their 2011 premieres. ''Not to bad-mouth the shows that came and went,'' Albert says, ''but they learnt the wrong things from the success of Mad Men.''
American producers still love to copy, remaking other people's shows. With a series such as Homeland, this has worked a charm. They now plan to remake some of Australia's best-written series, such as Rake and comedy A Moody Christmas, for the US market.
Even if the US series stay loyal to the originals, they will truly test the scriptwriters. Sure, these shows are great, but will they work as well without the Australian actors and directors?
The Slap was one of the most successful dramas for the ABC this year, bringing in ratings a commercial network would love and starting conversations across the nation.
And for co-producer Helen Bowden, one reason for the success is simple: the writing.
Based on Christos Tsiolkas's award-winning novel, The Slap lent itself to the television format, she says, with well-crafted characters, a complete background and a long story almost tailor-made for TV.
''It was a great process,'' Bowden says. ''Generally speaking, it's quite hard to find novels to adapt for television or film, but when we read The Slap, we were immediately drawn to the characters. They were extremely compelling, and for television that's just so exciting.
''And the construction of the novel is very clever. It's a big ask when you go on this journey to do so through eight very different characters. It's challenging because you can at any point lose interest in a character, but the plus was it allowed us to explore things from an episodic viewpoint.''
The series construction was inspired by US hits such as The Wire, Bowden says, with a writers' room working together to transform the book.
''The writers and producers felt very inspired by the fact the novel was right on the zeitgeist,'' she says. ''It was a story everyone wanted to work on.''
Similarly, Beaconsfield, Howzat!, Underground: The Julian Assange Story and others were Australian stories, told in (mostly) Australian voices that captured viewers.
''Underground was a great story,'' Bowden says. ''We were very, very proud of how that turned out.''
It's those Australian stories that have the potential to save networks as they face a future of multiple platforms, split audiences and advertisers looking away from traditional outlets, Bowden says.
''What's wonderful is that audiences are watching. The networks, even those in financial difficulty, are still committing money to telling Australian stories and making Australian drama, and that's because people turn up to watch it.
''They're fighting against quite difficult forces to keep people watching - and they're succeeding.''

Herald turns 110: Sewickley Valley's story told through pages of newspaper
Perhaps, the story of any small town is best told through the pages of its hometown newspaper.
From the beginning on Sept. 19, 1903 — 110 years ago to the day — the Herald has served as the record keeper for Sewickley and its many neighboring communities.
Founding publishers J.L. Kochenderfer and James Stinson likely had little idea of the legacy the Herald would carry with it more than a century later.
The longevity of the Herald is credited to its staff, but also to an engaging community filled with people who take pride in their hometown, and whom have done so for decades as reflected throughout the pages of this newspaper.
"It is a period which has proved the fact that if intelligent readers are given a paper they like, they will patronize and support it," read a Herald editorial in 1906, marking the start of the paper's fourth year.
In a world of uncertainty, the Herald has served as a constant to Sewickley Valley residents — watching as children grow through our region's public and private schools, spotlighting those among our community helping others and serving as a watchdog of local government.
For 110 years, the Herald has strived to capture the heartbeat of this community.
Just as elected officials, prominent people and families have grown and changed over the years, so, too, have the men and women who cover the Valley for the Herald.
But the Sewickley Herald's commitment remains the same as it was depicted in the early years on the front page of the fledgling newspaper: "Fear no man, and do justice to all men."
Hospital, bridge highlight early years of Herald
As the Weekly Herald — as it was known at its inception — began covering the Sewickley Valley, streetcars and a burgeoning population filled the pages of the newspaper.
So, too, did medical reports — rumor or fact — of locals who had been stricken with anything from a cold to spotted fever.
Afternoon teas and evening parties were referenced among the Herald's social pages.
When locals bid the Valley adieu, their whereabouts were fit to print.
Attention focused on the Valley's first medical center — the Sewickley Hospital — which was dedicated July 20, 1907. A headline previewing the opening simply read: "The New Hospital."
Women organized decorative features, such as bedding and curtains, for the new structure along what was then Blackburn Avenue.
As streetcars gained interest in neighboring communities and car traffic increased, a connection over the Ohio River was established as the Coraopolis-Sewickley Bridge opening was celebrated with much fanfare on Sept. 19, 1911.
Merged school district, national tragedy headline '50s and '60s
As the Herald marked its golden anniversary and Sewickley Borough celebrated 100 years in the middle of the 20th century, the Sewickley Valley was booming with local businesses dotting the Village and blending a multitude of school districts into one.
What eventually became known as the Quaker Valley School District began in 1956.
As school leaders laid plans for the future of the newly merged district, football players were breezing through an inaugural season, registering an undefeated year. Quaker Valley's first two opponents were Coraopolis — which the team beat, 25-20 — and Neville — which Quaker Valley defeated, 27-18.
While a victorious season might have boosted new school morale, it was all for naught as the merged team's first year was deemed a non-conference by the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.
Since 2012, players from Quaker Valley and Cornell (comprised of previously merged Coraopolis and Neville Island districts) have played together through a joint cooperation agreement.
The Valley also christened the new Mary and Alexander Laughlin Children's Center building on Frederick Avenue in the 50s and welcomed the addition of Morrow-Pontefract Park and the expansion of the Quaker Village Shopping Center.
The region was an important part of the early success of the nation's first public broadcasting station — WQED-TV — as three local groups helped seek donations from residents.
A decade later, the Valley, along with a nation, mourned the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
The Herald's coverage of JFK's untimely death was brief — a photo and blurb on the following week's front page and an inside poem mourning the loss of the nation's leader.
Community saved bridge in '70s, '80s
With the 1970s brought concern that immediate access to Greater Pittsburgh Airport would be off limits.
Residents, business owners and community leaders formed the Committee to Save the Sewickley Bridge in the mid-'70s when concern grew over whether the bridge would continue crossing the Ohio River.
During a harsh winter, PennDOT leaders in January 1977 closed the $29 million Interstate 79 Bridge that had opened less than five months earlier. A tugboat captain spotted a crack in the new span, prompting officials to take action.
Two days later — on Jan. 30, 1977 — the Sewickley Bridge was closed due to deteriorating conditions.
Through festivals and local, regional and national media attention, word spread that residents of the region wanted the Sewickley Bridge to reopen.
After nearly three years, residents and community leaders who were so passionate to have the local bridge reopened, learned in November 1979 money was available.
A new bridge would be constructed at a cost of $16.4 million.
The reopening of the span in 1981 was heralded by all, including the pages of the Herald, which offered a poster of the bridge.
Technology, tragedy, greet new century
In the last two decades, Sewickley Valley residents have adapted to change just as they have for decades before.
A new millennium ushered in a digital era that saw Quaker Valley students wired with Apple computers.
This newspaper expanded its coverage online and later through social media channels.
As it had done with other tragedies, the Valley came together to grieve with a nation following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Many familiar school buildings and the hospital underwent extensive work, updating them for a new generation of locals.
The hospital's Sewickley School of Nursing relocated across the bridge to Moon and then, earlier this year, closed — three years shy of celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Before it became a pile of rubble, the Sewickley Country Inn served as the backdrop for the 2012 movie "Jack Reacher," starring Tom Cruise.
The Sewickley Valley YMCA this year announced plans to undergo a major project that would reuse space the facility hasn't used in decades.
Sewickley's business district saw change as iconic stores closed, allowing new shop owners to give it a go.
And through it all, the residents of the Sewickley Valley weathered change, just as they've done for the last 110 years, as noted through the pages of the Herald.

Iraq war escalation to last into next year : Washington ups pressure on Iran, Syria
WASHINGTON, March 13—The U.S. military's head of operations in Iraq recommended March 7 that the increased numbers of U.S. troops now flowing into that country stay through February 2008. The proposal came just a few days after U.S. president George Bush approved sending 8,200 additional soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan. These troops are in addition to the 21,500 soldiers Bush announced in January he would dispatch, in the biggest escalation of the imperialist war since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
At the same time, U.S. diplomats used a March 10 "regional summit" in Baghdad with representatives of neighboring states, and of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, to press Washington's charge that Tehran and Damascus are aiding Shiite- and Sunni-led militias fighting for a bigger share of power in the Iraqi government.
Here in Washington Democrats continue to posture in "opposition" to the war. Their latest charade is to attach amendments to a $100 billion supplemental bill on war spending that would also set Sept. 1, 2008—two months before the next U.S. presidential election—as the date for withdrawing combat troops from Iraq. As with previous proposals of this type, it faces substantial opposition from within both parties.
Bush approved the additional troops to Iraq and Afghanistan during his Latin America tour. They include 4,700 "support troops" to Iraq, of whom 2,200 of these are military cops in anticipation of more arrests of Iraqis. A brigade of 3,500 will go to Afghanistan. That would bring the number of U.S. troops in Iraq to 145,000 and in Afghanistan to 30,000.
At the regional summit in Baghdad, Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki urged neighboring states to stop financing attacks and funneling weapons across their borders to Iraqi militias. Iraq's foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, said the states Maliki was referring to were represented at the summit. Only the governments of Iran and Syria have been accused by Washington and Baghdad of interfering militarily.

A social worker is sent to a house where a murder was once committed, and finds an old lady apparently abandoned by her family. She also encounters two melancholy but dangerous ghost children, who proceed to persecute a loosely-connected string of folks.
The third film in a saga that had already managed two straight-to-video instalments, Takeshi Shimizu's Ju-On: The Grudge became a breakthrough Japanese hit, inspiring a fourth entry confusingly titled The Grudge 2 and a forthcoming Sam Raimi-produced remake that also counts as a fifth film in the ongoing saga.
Because the haunting is passed along like a dose of the flu, the film skips La Ronde-style (or at least, in the Amicus anthology tradition) from one episode to the next (darting back and forth in time), as the ghost children pick on a social worker, a cop, a schoolgirl and others. Not only does the random curse aspect echo The Ring but many other elements - a lank-haired female ghost, obviously - follow that influential cycle. Expect a Freddy Vs. Jason-type Sadako vs. Kayako team-up sequel somewhere down the line.
Shimizu obviously saw how effective the ghost-crawling-from-the-TV scene in The Ring was, since The Grudge is constructed entirely around similarly ingenious bone-freezing scares as genuinely terrifying spooks appear under the sheets, crawl crablike down stairs, perch on beds, or otherwise go "boo!"
As a film, it is at once too much a part of an overarching story and divided into too many episodes to be all of a piece. However, as a sustained collection of scare moments, it's a winner.

For the first time in my life I've seen the Flyers beat the Red Wings in Detroit and it couldn't have come at a better time. After a stretch of 0-13-1 in their last 14 games in Detroit, the Flyers finally got 2 points with a score of 3-2. Boosh, who made 25 saves on the night, played a strong game being positionally sound and controlling rebounds throughout. A "lucky" goal by JVR, Carcillo's reward for his hard work, and Hartnell's accurate shot led to the Flyers 2nd win on their current road trip.
In the 4 games prior to tonight's match up, Philly goaltenders were averaging 5 goals/game. The defense wasn't helping the situation by letting the opposition's offense skate into the zone for free. Tonight's game was a different story. With the exception of Mezaros getting turned inside out on Filppula's goal and getting outworked for the 3rd period, the defense played great in front of Boosh and got the puck out of the zone quickly for the netminder. A 5-on-3 penalty kill early in the 1st period seemed to set the tone for the defense.
This was the type of game we needed to see out of the Flyers tonight. After poor showings in Anaheim and Vancouver, the team came out and played great defensively. This victory was also key for the purpose of momentum. With the next two games being a home and home with New Jersey, there is an opportunity for the Flyers to erase the weak defensive performances that hurt them over this road trip. If Philly can win the next two games, they would have a 3-game winning streak entering a week with match ups against Buffalo, Boston, Atlanta, and the New York Rangers. We could see a much longer winning streak at the end of next week.
Game Notes
- The Flyers haven't scored more than 3 goals in Detroit for 15 straight games now.
- Carcillo's goal was his 2nd of the season and 1st since 10/29 in Pittsburgh.
- A questionable call on Leino led to Detroit's 2nd goal. Should have been a no call, but refs called Leino for goalie interference after being hit by Drew Miller.
- All 3 goals for the Flyers came on 27 shots against Howard in the 1st 2 periods; Osgood didn't allow any in the 3rd on 5 shots.

Worried about what will happen to your credit card debt if you are injured or unemployed?
Payment protection plans offered by credit card companies promise to take all those worries away but for a hefty price.
Some plans offer to pay your minimum monthly payments, suspend your minimum monthly payments or even cancel your minimum monthly payments for certain covered events including involuntary job loss, hospitalization and disability.
But you'll want to think twice before signing up for one of these ultra-pricey protection plans.
"These protection plans sound like a good idea, especially during tough economic times. But in most cases, these protection plans are a bad deal for cardholders and should be avoided," says Bill Hardekopf, chief executive officer of LowCards.com and author of "The Credit Card Guidebook."
Expensive fees. The monthly fees for these types of payment protection plans are awfully steep.
Citibank charges 87 cents per $100 of new balance each month. Chase and Discover charge 89 cents per $100 of your ending statement balance. And Bank of America charges 95 cents per $100 of the plan balance shown on a customer's monthly credit card statement.
Here's an example of just how expensive signing up for a payment protection plan can be if you carry credit card debt from month to month.
Let's say you're interested in a payment protection plan that charges 89 cents per $100 of your ending statement balance each month and you have $5,000 in credit card debt.
You'd pay $44.50 per month for a payment protection plan. And if you maintain that balance for a year, you'll wind up paying $534 to insure that you won't fall behind on minimum payments for $5,000 in credit card debt.
You'd be better off putting that $534 in an emergency fund. That $534 will cover quite a few minimum credit card payments if you should need it.
Or you could apply that money toward purchasing a life insurance or disability insurance policy.
Another good use of that money is paying down your credit card debt.
"Whatever you were going to spend on these plans, apply it to your balance and start whittling it down," Hardekopf says.
Exclusions and limitations. Another drawback with payment protection plans is the numerous exclusions and limitations associated with the plans.
With some payment protection plans, seasonal workers may not qualify for the protection for involuntary job loss. And self-employed workers may be excluded or have a tough time qualifying for the unemployment benefit as well.
If you are close to your limit on your credit card or you have a history of late payments, you may have trouble qualifying for a payment protection plan. And if you are currently unemployed, you will not be eligible, Hardekopf says.

Highest Mileage
How long have you owned it? (And that's something anyone replying to this thread should add).
April 29 6100 miles
Multiple people have discussed taking their car in for the 12,500 mile check-up on other threads
april 13, 6700 miles. 1 free tire rotation
Almost 16K
March 18th: 8,125 miles.
April 9th, 5700 wonderful Tesla grinning miles...getting ready to go in for y 6k tire rotation.
Oct 2012, Sig 736, at 15,600
DEC 2012, P2348, at 13700.
Delivered 3/17/13; 10,200 miles (three long trips)
Dec 22, 2012 P85 Non Performance
29,041 miles
January, 9000 miles
WOW 29000+ miles in 6+ months! How much extra is the insurance premium for mileage like that?
What does P85 'Non Performance' mean??
@My5bAby, have you noticed any range degradation in your battery after 29,000 miles of driving? (I just clicked Submit on my order last night, and this morning I woke up thinking, "Oh crap, when am I going to have to replace that battery??")
Absolutely noticed no degradation what so ever. It is unbelievable. As for battery replacement, my guess is I will end up changing the battery by choice once new cheaper more power batteries are designed years from now. However by then Super chargers will be everywhere so I might just keep what I have, so I can try and have one of the high milage vehicles.
If you think I am exaggerating, consider the fact that no Prius owner has had to replace a battery. The original Prius was built in 1997. Now add to this the fact that the battery management on the Prius is significantly inferior to that on the Model S.
No significant increase in insurance.
Lastly I don't have the highest milage. Roughly 2-3 weeks ago when I was at 25K I was told by a Tesla employee that someone had 30K.
I was concerned about degradation when I ordered the car but now that concern is not even on the radar
A guy I work with last year had his 2006 (I think) Prius battery fail. But this seems to be rare after googling. My 2005 Prius has 150k miles and the battery is fine. Heh, anybody want to buy it? Need to sell to make room soon for my grey 60 ms coming in a few weeks!
Hmmmm...We are getting off topic. My sister in law has a 2nd generation battery (Honda Civic Hybrid) that has had to be "tweaked" 2 times already. So she is basically only getting 2 MPG better than the traditionally Honda Civic now.
Besides battery degradation, since that isn't a concern, has anyone who has racked up big miles 15,000 plus, had any problems besides the usual door handle difficulties that have been posted?
I mean things like changing tires before 20,000 miles on the 19" tires, or poor windshield blades, or scraping on the ground unexpectedly..... thanks! Jman from northeast.
Delivery June 23rd 2013 Model S P85
Current (2.8.2014) ODO reading is 49953
My5bAby has just reported 62,000 miles on another thread....whoa, that takes the cake.

Your car would go high in this:

should't we call this over 50k miles, who cars if you have 5k or even 20k at this point?
Delivered 11/11/13 S60 12700 miles
Delivered 12/22/2012
27,000 mi
Ideal Range - 285mi
Ideal Range was down at 280mi and had been since initial drop after first few months. According to another thread you can get the range back by doing full range charges for a period of time. I did this as a test and in just a few days it was back up to 285. I don't particularly worry about the slight loss (<10%) and I don't like to drive w/o regen when the battery is full, so I stopped the full range charges. The experiment seemed to be successful enough to satisfy me.
You didn't like be an un-regenerate high charger? ;)
typo: "like being an ..."
Ive taken a few more trips since 2.8 and now im at 81,303
I don't even have mine yet, yet I think I have driven it several hundred thousand miles in my mind. Its getting to the point of sleepless nights, feels like Christmas is coming in May for this ol guy!
#13853, July 12, '13. Now at 11,500. But leaving in 2 days for a 3800 mi XC trip. Excited to see this puppy run.
#53xx delivered 3/2/13. 38,000 and runs like a champ!!!
For those who have the MOST miles, what has had to be replaced due to wear? The rotors, calipers, ect ???

Huge crowds back Hungarian right
Crowds estimated to number more than 500,000 people gathered in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, on Saturday in support of the country's centre-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Mr Orban told the rally that victory was still possible for his ruling Fidesz party in the final round of parliamentary elections next weekend, despite a surprise defeat in the first round a week ago.
In a 40-minute address broadcast live on national television, Mr Orban blamed last weekend's defeat on opposition efforts to tarnish the party's image at home and abroad.
"There are those who have been ensnared by scaremongers painting a nightmarish image of a country moving towards fascism which will be thrown out of the EU," he said.
Biggest ever gathering?
Despite fears that the increasing left-right polarisation in the country would spill over into clashes between rival groups, the rally was peaceful and good-humoured.
The rally's organisers claimed the crowd numbered two million, although television reports put the figure between 400,000-600,000.
The BBC's Nick Thorpe says it may still have been the biggest ever gathering in Hungarian history.
Mr Orban used much of his speech to lambaste the opposition's record in government between 1994 and 1998 and to list the achievements of his administration over the past four years.
He said a victory by the opposition Socialist Party would threaten those reforms.
However, the socialists responded by saying they intended to preserve some ruling party policies, such as student loans and family subsidies programmes.
'Love and unity'
Mr Orban urged each supporter to take at least one person with them to vote, in order to close the gap between his party - which drew 41.1% of last weekend's vote, and the Socialists, who notched up 42%.
"There has to be more of us every day," he said.
He closed his speech with a call for an atmosphere of love and unity, which has widely been seen as a move to try to calm mudslinging which has characterised much of the election campaigning.

Female Officers Credited With Getting Phillip Garrido Arrested Thanks to "Intuition"
Do You Believe in Women's Intuition?
If you've ever been to the UC Berkeley campus, you'll understand when I say that it takes a lot for someone to stand out as weird. But for female police officers Allison Jacobs and Lisa Campbell, something was off about Phillip Garrido, and thanks to their intuition and further probing, an 18-year-old missing person case was finally solved. The FBI and family of Jaycee Lee Dugard would know what happened 18 years ago to the 11-year-old who Garrido kidnapped right in front of her stepfather's eyes.
In an interview on CCN's AC360, Lisa Campbell, a special events manager for the university police, said that Garrido, accompanied by two girls, approached her and asked about holding an event on campus. "[T]here was just something about the girls that wasn't right," she said.
Campbell did a background check on Garrido, which revealed that he was on parole after a rape conviction and was a registered sex offender. She asked officer Allison Jacobs to sit in on the meeting with her. Jacobs seconded Campbell's hunch with her own suspicions about Garrido, calling it "police intuition" and then "a mother's intuition." After a call to Garrido's parole officer, Campbell and Jacobs learned something chilling: "He doesn't have daughters," Jacobs recalls him saying. A meeting was set up the next day with Garrido's parole officer and finally, Garrido was arrested and 29-year-old Jaycee Dugard (he called her "Allissa") and her two daughters were finally free of his insane grip.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that female police officers noticed something funny about Garrido that even his parole officer and others who dealt with him didn't sense? Granted, they saw the girls his parole officer didn't, but others who met Garrido with these girls didn't suspect anything. Do you believe in women's intuition?
