The mobile kiosks provide connect visitors to the Visit Penrith website and provide information to visitors where and when they need it the most.
As more people access destination information online, Penrith City Council has been building its visitor strategy.
Recent research from Destination NSW – the State’s government agency for tourism – revealed that contemporary information services are the key to attracting more overnight visitors.
The internet and social media were highlighted in DNSW’s Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) Host Research paper as growing areas for people to research and plan their trips.
Penrith City Mayor Councillor John Thain said at least 37 percent of domestic visitors go online for information, and these findings align with Council’s approach to destination marketing.
“A strong online presence was identified in Penrith’s Destination Management Plan (DMP) as an opportunity to boost visitors to the area, and since its release last year we’ve made considerable headway,” said the Mayor.
Penrith’s visitor numbers have grown from 1.07 million to 1.3 million over five years to 2014; an average increase of 58,000 per year, and of these more than 67 percent of the international overnight visitors and 50 percent of domestic overnight visitors are the VFR market.
“This VFR research confirms what we already knew about residents being a valuable source of local knowledge for their visiting friends and relatives,” said the Mayor.

It is now less than a week to my departure, seven days until I am in India. After a few years of studying Ayurveda and a decade of studying yoga, I am eager to be in the mother land of these deep wells of wisdom and tradition from which I have begun to sip.
I am not so much excited as I am suddenly focused. I have been moving quietly towards this departure date while preoccupied with the busyness of autumn and the holidays, like rafting down a lazy river looking out at the riverbanks, disinterested in the swift rapids that lie somewhere up ahead – until suddenly now I hear them, and they’re surprisingly loud. It’s got my attention now.
This focus is welcome. While I have done a fair bit of logistical planning over recent weeks and the collecting of necessary provisions (e.g., SPF 30 sunscreen, sun hat, fancy UV-ray water purifier, grapefruit seed extract to keep the dreaded food-borne bacteria away, cipro antibiotics in case that doesn’t work, essential oils to keep the mosquitoes away, scary DEET bug repellent in case that doesn’t work, etc.), but I haven’t given myself enough time to sit and think about what lies ahead. I haven’t mused sufficiently – a symptom, no doubt, of the all-consuming speed of my typical western lifestyle: my constant attendance to the siren calls of incoming emails, bills to pay, friends to see…. Somehow, simple reflection always gets pushed off the To Do list. Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” I wonder what he would think of our “progressive” society and its takeover of much of our global culture.
So I am going to India to study Ayurveda, and to immerse myself in the culture that gave birth to this vast body of healing wisdom. My plan, if that’s not too ironic a term to use in a country known for turning plans on end, is to spend three months at a small, rural Ayurvedic training and treatment center called Vaidyagrama. It is located 22 km outside of Coimbatore, a rather industrial town in the state of Tamil Nadu in south central India.
The name Vaidyagrama translates as “healing village” and it was designed as an entirely eco-friendly center, a concept with less pop-culture cache there than here in the States, but equally (if not more) laudable in a country that arguably has more pressing concerns. Opened in 2009 but still being constructed in stages, Vaidyagrama uses solar and wind energy, collects rain water, and uses other green building and energy methods. Here are some photos of the grounds. Not only are vegetable gardens in abundance, but many medicinal herbs are grown on-site for study and usage. As Ayurveda’s effectiveness, power and beauty reach a growing international audience (or dare I say “market”), even the immense country of India is being stripped of many of the ancient healing herbs, so efforts like Vaidyagrama’s to cultivate herbs sustainably represents Ayurveda’s future. I am eager to see how the new and the old concepts, the ancient knowledge and traditions and the modern sensibility and needs, are finding a way to sit side by side at this place.
I am told it takes an hour to drive from Vaidyagrama to town, so it may be a rather isolated three months on campus there, even with some weekend trips thrown in. This is one of the many reasons that I am so grateful I will have companions – six classmates from my program at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque will be there with me. I am thrilled to have a built-in community of like-minded people with whom to go through this experience. I am also looking forward to the lack of distractions, the time and mental space for contemplation and deep study.
After those first three months at Vaidyagrama, I may spend some time at an ashram, perhaps study yoga, who knows… In a very uncharacteristic move, for those of you who know me well, I’m leaving it up in the air. As my veteran India-traveler brother Ian said, “It doesn’t matter what plans you make, Ivy. India has her own plans for you.” So be it.
I am grateful for all of you who are reading this, who are embarking on this journey with me in spirit. As I move through the streets and fields of India, I know my view of the world will shift and spin, and I expect I will have more than a few moments of unease and anxiety, if not outright panic and identity crises! So please email me, or comment on the blog entries that pique your interest – your voices will help to ground me and remind me of my purpose on this journey. It really does give me a visceral sense of grounding and comfort to think of the invisible threads that connect me to each of you, and each of you to each other, creating this vast web that will hold me – that holds us all – even in the face of vast change and transition. I hope this blog may inspire you in some way, perhaps to see your own life in a new light, to open to new perspectives, to consider new pathways to balance, joy and health.
Happy new year, everyone. May yours be abundant.

For a first-time home buyer interested in building wealth, the rent versus buy decision is often confusing. Studies one month indicate people come out ahead by owning a home, while other times it sounds better to remain a renter. When a first-time home buyer asks, "What is a mortgage?" the answers include differences between fixed-rate, adjustable rate mortgages as well tax deductions. For most Americans, a mortgage isn't just a way to own a home. It's also a forced savings account. Every time you make a mortgage payment, you create wealth in the form of home equity. As your home value goes up, you gain even more equity in your home. According to an article by houstonchronicle.com, buying a home is a steady and slow way to build wealth. The 2014 Survey of Consumer Finances showed a median net worth of almost $200,000 for home owners compared to the $5,000 renter's net worth. In other words, home owners have 40 times the net worth. To determine your net worth, simply add up all of your assets, cash and home equity. Then subtract all debts or money owed. The article calls home ownership a "wealth-building cocktail" that includes tax advantage, leverage and automated investing.
Some first-time home buyers wonder about the mortgage payment. Typically, a mortgage payment includes the principle on the mortgage loan, the interest, property taxes and insurance. Some home owners have Home Owner Association fees, which they pay as a separate bill. Lenders combine the property tax and insurance as an "escrow" amount. The escrow is money put aside to cover fluctuating property tax and insurance costs. Most home owners get a small bill or a small refund based on the escrow savings each year. Understanding the mortgage payment breakdown is often confusing for first-time home buyers.
As a potential home buyer, a mortgage lender goes over various mortgage programs. Some home owners opt for a 15-year mortgage, but most choose a 30-year fixed rate plan. With a 15 year term, a home owner typically pays a higher monthly payment but receives a lower interest rate. An adjustable rate mortgage is one that includes a fixed rate term combined with a flexible rate tied to the government's prime rate. If you want to more reliable budget, opt for a fixed rate mortgage. Most home owners avoid an interest-only mortgage unless they plan to flip a home or buy and sell it for a profit in less than one year. In a rapidly appreciating home market, an interest-only mortgage is a non-traditional option for more aggressive borrowers able to handle risk.
The reason many financial gurus love home ownership as a vehicle to build wealth is because it's a form of automated investing. Every month, you make your mortgage payment. When you hand a rent check over the landlord, you never see the money again. When you pay the mortgage, you get closer to owning the home outright. Even if you owe $100,000 on a home worth $250,000, you have $150,000 in equity. After paying off a mortgage, you clear the debt, owing only your annual property taxes. Years ago, people had "mortgage-burning" parties to celebrate having paid off their mortgages. Today, most new home owners rather celebrate the fact that they found a great home they could afford. Other advantages of owning a home include a tax deduction if you itemize taxes as well as capital gains exclusion if you make a profit when you sell.

Students on Brunel’s first Physician Associate Master’s course were welcomed to a reception with local health professionals and Brunel staff.
The two-year programme will give students a year of medical training, interspersed with visits to hospitals and other medical practices, before continuing their education working full-time in the public health sector.
Dean of the College of Health and Life Sciences, Professor Paul Hellewell, said he was delighted to welcome the first intake of students: “It’s wonderful that we’ve been able to set up this course so quickly and recruit so many keen students onto it. This is a new pathway for us that will naturally complement other courses within the college, and provide a new route into the world of medicine for many students.

Prescription drugs are now the most addictive and fatal drugs in the nation. While much of the blame lies with opiate-based narcotics, there are in fact three major categories of prescription drugs that have enjoyed meteoric success at a horrific cost to many who tried them.
Oxycontin and Vicodin are the most popularly abused opiate painkillers. Similar to drugs such as morphine and heroin, these pills are formulated for powerful pain relief, but are easy to get addicted to and are often snorted and injected when abused. Those who take high amounts of these drugs are at higher risk of a fatal overdose than with almost other narcotics.
Xanax and Valium are two of the most popularly prescribed drugs in the world. They are often prescribed for varying forms of depression and mood disorders but their calming, de-sensitizing effects can become hard to live without. One of the most common forms of fatal overdoses in America is due to combination of depressants and alcohol.
Many types of amphetamines are prescribed for weight loss and attention deficit disorder. However the excited, enhanced state that stimulants induce are very addictive and can destroy lives.

William Douglas “‘Doug” Parker is an American businessman who is the current Chairman and CEO of American Airlines Group, Inc., the parent company of American Airlines.
Parker grew up in Michigan and received a BA in Economics from Albion College (1984). He then received an MBA from the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University (1986), where American Airlines offered him a job after a campus interview.
Parker was a financial analyst at American Airlines from 1986 to 1991, where he was a member of then CEO Robert Crandall’s, “Brat Pack”, alongside Thomas W. Horton (former CEO President and Chairman of American), C. David Cush (CEO of Virgin America) and Ben Baldanza (former CEO of Spirit Airlines).
Parker joined Northwest Airlines in 1991 and was tasked to help create a team that would systematically figure out where the airline was making and losing money. Tracking profits flight-by-flight in such detail at that level was a first for Northwest.
Parker became Chief Financial Officer of America West Airlines in 1995 after returning to USA, and because then-CEO Bill Franke wanted to train him to be a CEO, Parker moved around between finance, sales and operations. Parker was named Chairman and CEO in September 2001, 10 days before the 11 September terrorist attacks. Under Parker, America West was the first of several airlines to win post-9/11 federal loan guarantees, saving the airline from a second bankruptcy.
America West and US Airways merged in 2005, with Parker continuing as CEO of the combined company. US Airways made an unsuccessful bid to merge with Delta Air Lines as it was in bankruptcy protection in 2006, faltering as Delta rallied workers and creditors against the hostile bid. Creditors rejected the bid in early 2007. US Airways also attempted a merger with United Airlines in 2008 and in 2010, but United ultimately merged with Continental Airlines.
In 2012, US Airways launched an effort to merge with American Airlines, while American’s parent company, AMR Corporation, was in bankruptcy protection. US Airways took the unprecedented step of securing tentative contracts with American’s labor groups, while AMR was still pushing to exit bankruptcy. That deal closed on 9 December 2013, and Parker was named CEO of the combined company, which became the world’s largest airline.
Parker lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Gwen Parker, and three children. In 2007, Doug Parker pleaded guilty to his third DUI and was sentenced to 1 day in jail. After his conviction, shareholders questioned if the company should have disclosed Parker’s two previous DUI arrests.

WESTERN DESERT, EGYPT (31 March 2018) — Even though I had read that “Crystal Mountain” wasn’t a mountain, on first glance I was a bit disappointed that it was not more dramatic. Somehow I still expected a sparkling glass-like entity rising up from the desert sands. Instead it seemed to be more of an ordinary looking ridge formation, not terribly distinguishable from the rest of the desert. Then as I took a walk, I began to see and understand the hidden magic.
All the crumbling rocks on the “mountain” are made up of delicate “crystals,” that shimmer in the sand. I climbed up and around, being careful not to “break” off any of the pieces. This was the perfect example of how the desert can be harsh and fragile at the same time. The desolate landscape and rough-hewn profile hide the delicateness of mother nature’s art.
I am not sure of the geological explanation for this oddity, but it fascinated me as I continued to explore it. Some say it is calcite crystal others say it is quartz. The “crystals” are semi-transparent white-ish rectangular pieces, and in my imagination they seemed like rough diamonds.

As usual, Professor Jack Ponton (Letters, 8 July) cuts through all the smoke and mirrors erected by the renewables industries to give the facts.
He points out the absurdity of the regular and monotonous claims from the wind industry that at certain times they providing enough electricity to power umpteen million homes.
Until there is a research breakthrough in battery storage, wind-generated electricity will continue to be an expensive failed science which only benefits the developers and land owners.
I am reminded of a former MSP who berated me on my anti-wind stance, stating that the wind produced at night was more than required during the day and was not wasted but stored in batteries.
I asked her where this scientific breakthrough was located. Silence.
I suspect that many of our present politicians are equally ignorant and are unaware of the risks that renewables pose to our energy security, especially with their anti-fossil fuels fixation.
Do they appreciate that Longannet is due to close soon, followed by nuclear?

What is the Foster Youth questival?
To see photos from the most recent climb, see updates and learn about Questival Club hikes, like FMC Foster Youth Questival on Facebook.
FMC's Foster Youth Questival is many things. At it's core, it is a five-day trip to Shasta, CA with the goal of climbing Mt. Shasta, the fifth highest mountain in California.
After months of training and fundraising, climbers carpool from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Shasta, California. We spend two days in Shasta acclimating to the elevation, getting to know each other better, packing and preparing for the climb. We then head to Mt. Shasta, where the climb is typically divided into two days. Part of the beauty of Mt. Shasta is that we are at the mercy of the mountain, so flexibility is a must!
On day one, we climb to base camp. We will set up camp, practice more technical mountaineering techniques and sleep for the night. On day two, we get an "Alpine start" around 2am and head for the summit with the goal of an arrival around sunrise, weather permitting. We then descend the mountain, head back to our home base in Shasta and celebrate the adventure (usually with hot showers and BBQ). After another good night's sleep, we will carpool back to Los Angeles and/or San Francisco.
This program is organized by the team at Fostering Media Connections. Questival originally started as a fundraiser, and has grown into FMC's favorite community event.
Before the trip to Mt. Shasta, Questival climbers (as well as their friends and loved ones, and community members who support the event) are welcome to participate in Questival Club events, which center around weekend hikes in Los Angeles.
Fostering Media Connections (FMC) is a non-profit organization that harnesses the power of journalism and media to improve the national child protection system. Over the years, the youth perspective and youth voice has become a cornerstone of the foster care narrative that FMC is writing.

What Brady has to do right now is hide behind Michael J. Madigan. If you recall, the Speaker was just attacked in a similar manner.
Any questions further on this, should be addressed in a way that includes the Speaker’s name.
By doing this, this entire thing will go away.
Madigan isn’t going to want to have this albatross hanging around his neck again.
Dennis Hastert was absolutely skewered by some dealings that were a lot more indirect than Brady’s regarding influence on a highway project that would bolster the developability of land that he (or his company) owned. I would expect no less public scrutiny in this case.
Thanks, Dave. The link has been fixed.
I don’t see how Brady doesn’t feel like he had a conflict. He certainly had a clear financial interest in the legislation.
It would have been easy enough to disclose and recuse, and it would have passed anyway.
Okay, so this is about your terrible judgment rather than your self-serving dishonesty?
Seems like a reach. Unfortunatley in Ill these minor conflicts of interest are ignored all the time. Ask madigan about how well his clients do, or ald. Burke how his clients do, daleys law firm from which he still recieved an income handles alot of clients with the city. State laws forcing eye exams for students have enriched the practice of certain state lawmaker. In ill politics is about making money.
Brady is not having the best coming out party. I think there’s a path for people in the suburbs to overlook his social conservatism and vote for him based on the economy, but this stuff does not help. Most people on the north shore if they know him, know him as a coservative which will not help.
These kinds of stories also hurt especially when they come from the media because people up here at least in thought prefer “high minded politicians” and this does not help his case.
I also continue to be stunned by the lack of serious opposition research that happened in the winter campaigns. That murphy couldn’t figure out that plummer was a paper tiger and that mckenna couldn’t use his millions to do this kind of research is another indictment of those campaigns.
Leave it to the Trib to bury the lede so badly. HELLOOOOOOO!!!! Ethically challenged state has yet another candidate running for governor with an enormous ethical blind spot.
We have no hope on either side.
to now cry stop on others. Why did he not term limit himself?
Brady is a big do as I proclaim kind of official and it’s not good.
That Brady does not see the obvious conflict should give every voter cause for alarm.
Quinn has problems, but overall I trust him not to do such things. Brady seems focused on gaining control of the Govt to enrich himself. Brady has realised the job is more bleeping golden then his current gig.
Now the Trib can go back to busting Ds — their vision for the future.
BTW maybe the Champaign County SA can knock this around a little.
Many thanks to NoTaxBill for turning the campaign around. Does CampaignMasterJerry get credit?
Doesn’t this sort of information qualify as basic opposition research? Of all the Republicans that have run against Brady in the primary since 2003, it seems like one of them would have found this and used it.
Or is it all about the candidate beating his chest about taxes in the GOP primary?
Brady has been very selective of late as to which bills he will cast a vote. I can only assume he was equally selective when bills that benefitted him financially were called, and he hit the YES button. The bills in question were very specific bills, targeting very specific issues. So, either he voted for the bills and didn’t know what he was doing, or he knew exactly what he was doing. Either way, he screwed up.
This is a major bombshell. Isn’t this pretty much the textbook definition of a corrupt official, i.e. one who votes on bills expected to benefit himself financially?
Brady’s throw away statement that he “believed the legislation had no direct effect on his Champaign property” is meaningless. That’s just his lawyers trying to say there was no intent, a necessary element to prove a theft or fraud related crime.
Good luck with that Bill Brady. At this point it probably doesn’t matter if Plummer releases his returns. The GOP ticket looks to be done.
What would you have the Champaign Co SA do with this, CFS? State’s Attorneys prosecute crimes. Ethics violations are not crimes. For that matter, if they were, venue would be in Sangamon County where the questionable votes occurred. Or is there some evidence that Brady committed some criminal act in Champaign County?
Patti Schuh is a great hire for Brady. Hopefully she can convince him to actually take policy positions, so that she can craft and deliver the message. We’ve all tired of his sniping from his position as a legislator….it’s time for him to lead and tell us what he stands for, or get out of the way. Good luck to Patti.
Yes, things are looking pretty dismal with respect to our main gubernatorial choices in Nov. A failed businessman with a self-serving view of legislative ethics and transparency. A failed politician who got incredibly lucky yet whose probationary period has been marked by waffling, an inability to make decisions, and a fondness for solving problems by hitting up the middle class for more, more more money.
I thought you wanted him to organize a state-wide organization?
A downstate Democrat told me shortly after the Primary that he thought Brady’s business dealings would be his undoing, and warned me that Brady’s record contained serious conflicts of interest.
If Democratic lawmakers knew, how can Brady use the “I didn’t know” defense?
Brady’s defense seems to be that either he doesn’t know his business or he doesn’t understand what legislation he’s voting on.
I don’t think voters are buying that this time around.
This is the catch 22 for pro-business republicans. Of course you won’t read these types of problems for Pat Quinn because lacks the skills to operate a private business. Quinn jumping on this is like me saying Favre shouldn’t have thrown the last pass. Looks pretty obvious, but I have never had the skill to get on the field so how much is my opinon worth.
And if you really believe Quinn would not do something like this. He has kept the Blago campaing contributors by the thousands on the state payroll for a reason.
The press is likely digging into other votes Brady’s made right now. Let’s hope so.
One area I’ve always wondered about is insurance. Brady is the ranking Republican on the senate’s Insurance Committee. And of course he’s from Bloomington which has two big insurance companies. Plus, according to Brady’s own campaign website, the Brady family businesses include insurance.
Brady’s definitely made votes that were favorable to the insurance industry.
But these land deal votes alone should doom the guy.
Is that Kirk Dillard warming up in the bullpen?
The hard truth is that none of those Republicans ever thought Brady could win, so they didn’t bother. Same goes for the media, I suppose. He hasn’t been fully vetted yet. He will be, even if it is 25 grafs into a story.
Isn’t Bill Brady against the government getting involved in the free market?
I guess eminent domain land seizures and tax-supported incentives to real estate developers don’t count as “big government” when the Brady family is on the receiving end.
MJM is smart enough to regularly vote Present on those sorts of bills. Plus, they’re his clients, not his own company, and that can get a bit murky. This story is about Brady’s company itself. A project that Brady worked on himself. I don’t think it’s similar. Cullerton has been whacked for far, far less. And it wasn’t 25 grafs into the story, either.
Dave signs and palm card are what you hand out in the field! There are hundreds of parades coming up he can’t be at all of them his field people need something.
If there was even a whiff of evidence that Barack Obama had cast votes in the state senate that benefitted himself financially, Republicans would be burning tires in the streets and tipping over cars right now.
In Brady’s case, it’s not just evidence. There’s a smoking gun.
Good going downstate Republicans. Your obsession with disliking Chicago has given the GOP a Chicago-Democrat-Style nominee who can’t win.
I’ve known Patti for years. She is a great hire for Brady. Once again the contrast is stark between Quinn’s reaching out of state for inexperienced campaign talent that he can push around, while Brady hires a stand up Illinois operative with 20 + years experience. Patti’s no push over for anybody.
I wonder how many Home Builders Association initiatives that Brady sponsored ended up financially benefiting him?
I think Brady drew the wrong lesson from “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and he’s definitely modeled himself on the wrong character.
Did Brady own the land or options at the time of his vote? That makes a difference to me.
It’s a citizens legislature. Should farmers not sponsor Farm Bureau bills?
That’s a good point. The Trib article said Brady was buying up land around that proposed interchange. The timeline is a little unclear. But an obvious question would be, did Brady have any special knowledge about future plans for the area due to his position as a public official?
If you’re a farmer let’s say, you don’t want to be sitting across the negotiating table from a land buyer with better information that you don’t have access to. That’s called insider trading and people go to prison for that.
Brady’s got a lot of questions to answer on several fronts about this.
If you know too much within a particular field, then you should be ignored in order to ensure that the decisions reached are good for no one within that field. The best government is the one lead by experts in no fields.
This is similar to the earmark that Denny Hastert promoted that had a direct economic bearing on land he owned. It didn’t hurt Hastert but he was nearing the end of his career and was not running for governor when this story was let. And we had a lot of other fatigue with Bush, Iraq, etc. by that time to even pay it much heed.
It is troubling that Brady can so simply deny this was a conflict of interest. It most obviously was. Where did this guy gain his sense of ethics? In the Illinois school of politics?
I ask myself what Brady could do that would cause me to vote to keep Quinn. We’re not even getting warm yet, but the election isn’t until November, so keep trying.
Where is the actual budget document that was handed out at this press conference?
It’s in a series of amendments that are being filed today.
Not even warm enough to just not vote for either goodball A or goofball B?
I mean sometimes, you just don’t have a choice. And sometimes is becoming all too common. The parties and the voters behind the parties really need a farm team that can advance some winners instead of having the losers rise to the top on their own “merits”.
westsidecounter: You shouldn’t talk about things you obviously know so little about.
No way would Brady have gotten through the primary if this information was known about him earlier. He kept it all hidden just like he wanted to hide his taxes.
Republicans probably shouldn’t have gloated so much over the Scott Lee Cohen thing.
Alot of people said the same thing about Rod in 2002. Brady’s starting to resemble Rod more-and-more every day.
Last I check Madigan wasn’t running for Governor! He supposed to be better than Madigan, right?
I would submit to you that Brady’s conflict of interest is much more factually egregious than Hastert’s, if Brady actually owned the land or options on it in direct proximity to the Curtis Road interchange in Champaign County. Hastert’s land was a 10-15 minute drive from the nearest planned interchange for Prairie Parkway, an iffy value boost for residential development for a highway that might not get built in our lifetime, but still a major faux pas in the court of public opinion.
Politicians who want to promote good infrastructure improvements should steer clear of personal enrichment issues, in appearance and in fact.
Let me get this straight. Everybody’s all fired up about three pieces of legislation that Brady voted for, even though NO ONE can provide a definitive, legitimate timeline on votes vs. ownership status? Aren’t we a little LATE to be calling these hatchet-attacks on Brady “vetting”? Furthermore, how many people posting here had even HEARD that word before “Caribou Barbie” wound up on the McCain ticket? The whole Brady campaign is rapidly turning into terrible examples of “GOTCHA!” journalism and politics.
While I agree that a candidates voting record IS important, it just seems like lazy, slanted, and yellow journalism to be CONSTANTLY on the attack vs. one candidate simply because he HAS a voting record.
Quinn has an administrative record, just as Brady has a legislative record. Both records are fair game in this election, and I am not seeing a lot of love for either from my rocking-chair view of the old and new media.
Put a Push pin in China Bill.
All I know is that somewhere Pat Quinn is trying to figure out how he can “outdo” Bill Brady with his next controversy. These two campaigns are like watching a race between two giraffes on stilts.
Brady’s going to look like a complete buffoon now on tax and budget issues.
Quinn’s got cover now when he talks about raising taxes. He need simply point out the fact that our budget wouldn’t be such a mess and we wouldn’t be in such a hole if guys like Bill Brady weren’t misusing their office to vote on bills that help themselves and cost the rest of us money.
Incredibly, Quinn starts looking like the adult in the room who has to clean up after the irresponsible behavior. Brady makes Quinn look good and that’s not easy.

What Brady has to do right now is hide behind Michael J. Madigan . If you recall , the Speaker was just attacked in a similar manner .
 Any questions further on this , should be addressed in a way that includes the Speaker ’s name .
 By doing this , this entire thing will go away .
 Madigan is n’t going to want to have this albatross hanging around his neck again .
 Dennis Hastert was absolutely skewered by some dealings that were a lot more indirect than Brady ’s regarding influence on a highway project that would bolster the developability of land that he ( or his company ) owned . I would expect no less public scrutiny in this case .
 Thanks , Dave . The link has been fixed .
 I do n’t see how Brady does n’t feel like he had a conflict . He certainly had a clear financial interest in the legislation .
 It would have been easy enough to disclose and recuse , and it would have passed anyway .
 Okay , so this is about your terrible judgment rather than your self - serving dishonesty ?
 Seems like a reach . Unfortunatley in Ill these minor conflicts of interest are ignored all the time . Ask madigan about how well his clients do , or ald . Burke how his clients do , daleys law firm from which he still recieved an income handles alot of clients with the city . State laws forcing eye exams for students have enriched the practice of certain state lawmaker . In ill politics is about making money .
 Brady is not having the best coming out party . I think there ’s a path for people in the suburbs to overlook his social conservatism and vote for him based on the economy , but this stuff does not help . Most people on the north shore if they know him , know him as a coservative which will not help .
 These kinds of stories also hurt especially when they come from the media because people up here at least in thought prefer “ high minded politicians ” and this does not help his case .
 I also continue to be stunned by the lack of serious opposition research that happened in the winter campaigns . That murphy could n’t figure out that plummer was a paper tiger and that mckenna could n’t use his millions to do this kind of research is another indictment of those campaigns .
 Leave it to the Trib to bury the lede so badly . HELLOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! Ethically challenged state has yet another candidate running for governor with an enormous ethical blind spot .
 We have no hope on either side .
 to now cry stop on others . Why did he not term limit himself ?
 Brady is a big do as I proclaim kind of official and it ’s not good .
 That Brady does not see the obvious conflict should give every voter cause for alarm .
 Quinn has problems , but overall I trust him not to do such things . Brady seems focused on gaining control of the Govt to enrich himself . Brady has realised the job is more bleeping golden then his current gig .
 Now the Trib can go back to busting Ds — their vision for the future .
 BTW maybe the Champaign County SA can knock this around a little .
 Many thanks to NoTaxBill for turning the campaign around . Does CampaignMasterJerry get credit ?
 Does n’t this sort of information qualify as basic opposition research ? Of all the Republicans that have run against Brady in the primary since 2003 , it seems like one of them would have found this and used it .
 Or is it all about the candidate beating his chest about taxes in the GOP primary ?
 Brady has been very selective of late as to which bills he will cast a vote . I can only assume he was equally selective when bills that benefitted him financially were called , and he hit the YES button . The bills in question were very specific bills , targeting very specific issues . So , either he voted for the bills and did n’t know what he was doing , or he knew exactly what he was doing . Either way , he screwed up .
 This is a major bombshell . Is n’t this pretty much the textbook definition of a corrupt official , i.e. one who votes on bills expected to benefit himself financially ?
 Brady ’s throw away statement that he “ believed the legislation had no direct effect on his Champaign property ” is meaningless . That ’s just his lawyers trying to say there was no intent , a necessary element to prove a theft or fraud related crime .
 Good luck with that Bill Brady . At this point it probably does n’t matter if Plummer releases his returns . The GOP ticket looks to be done .
 What would you have the Champaign Co SA do with this , CFS ? State ’s Attorneys prosecute crimes . Ethics violations are not crimes . For that matter , if they were , venue would be in Sangamon County where the questionable votes occurred . Or is there some evidence that Brady committed some criminal act in Champaign County ?
 Patti Schuh is a great hire for Brady . Hopefully she can convince him to actually take policy positions , so that she can craft and deliver the message . We ’ve all tired of his sniping from his position as a legislator….it ’s time for him to lead and tell us what he stands for , or get out of the way . Good luck to Patti .
 Yes , things are looking pretty dismal with respect to our main gubernatorial choices in Nov. A failed businessman with a self - serving view of legislative ethics and transparency . A failed politician who got incredibly lucky yet whose probationary period has been marked by waffling , an inability to make decisions , and a fondness for solving problems by hitting up the middle class for more , more more money .
 I thought you wanted him to organize a state - wide organization ?
 A downstate Democrat told me shortly after the Primary that he thought Brady ’s business dealings would be his undoing , and warned me that Brady ’s record contained serious conflicts of interest .
 If Democratic lawmakers knew , how can Brady use the “ I did n’t know ” defense ?
 Brady ’s defense seems to be that either he does n’t know his business or he does n’t understand what legislation he ’s voting on .
 I do n’t think voters are buying that this time around .
 This is the catch 22 for pro - business republicans . Of course you wo n’t read these types of problems for Pat Quinn because lacks the skills to operate a private business . Quinn jumping on this is like me saying Favre should n’t have thrown the last pass . Looks pretty obvious , but I have never had the skill to get on the field so how much is my opinon worth .
 And if you really believe Quinn would not do something like this . He has kept the Blago campaing contributors by the thousands on the state payroll for a reason .
 The press is likely digging into other votes Brady ’s made right now . Let ’s hope so .
 One area I ’ve always wondered about is insurance . Brady is the ranking Republican on the senate ’s Insurance Committee . And of course he ’s from Bloomington which has two big insurance companies . Plus , according to Brady ’s own campaign website , the Brady family businesses include insurance .
 Brady ’s definitely made votes that were favorable to the insurance industry .
 But these land deal votes alone should doom the guy .
 Is that Kirk Dillard warming up in the bullpen ?
 The hard truth is that none of those Republicans ever thought Brady could win , so they did n’t bother . Same goes for the media , I suppose . He has n’t been fully vetted yet . He will be , even if it is 25 grafs into a story .
 Is n’t Bill Brady against the government getting involved in the free market ?
 I guess eminent domain land seizures and tax - supported incentives to real estate developers do n’t count as “ big government ” when the Brady family is on the receiving end .
 MJM is smart enough to regularly vote Present on those sorts of bills . Plus , they ’re his clients , not his own company , and that can get a bit murky . This story is about Brady ’s company itself . A project that Brady worked on himself . I do n’t think it ’s similar . Cullerton has been whacked for far , far less . And it was n’t 25 grafs into the story , either .
 Dave signs and palm card are what you hand out in the field ! There are hundreds of parades coming up he ca n’t be at all of them his field people need something .
 If there was even a whiff of evidence that Barack Obama had cast votes in the state senate that benefitted himself financially , Republicans would be burning tires in the streets and tipping over cars right now .
 In Brady ’s case , it ’s not just evidence . There ’s a smoking gun .
 Good going downstate Republicans . Your obsession with disliking Chicago has given the GOP a Chicago - Democrat - Style nominee who ca n’t win .
 I ’ve known Patti for years . She is a great hire for Brady . Once again the contrast is stark between Quinn ’s reaching out of state for inexperienced campaign talent that he can push around , while Brady hires a stand up Illinois operative with 20 + years experience . Patti ’s no push over for anybody .
 I wonder how many Home Builders Association initiatives that Brady sponsored ended up financially benefiting him ?
 I think Brady drew the wrong lesson from “ Mr. Smith Goes to Washington , ” and he ’s definitely modeled himself on the wrong character .
 Did Brady own the land or options at the time of his vote ? That makes a difference to me .
 It ’s a citizens legislature . Should farmers not sponsor Farm Bureau bills ?
 That ’s a good point . The Trib article said Brady was buying up land around that proposed interchange . The timeline is a little unclear . But an obvious question would be , did Brady have any special knowledge about future plans for the area due to his position as a public official ?
 If you ’re a farmer let ’s say , you do n’t want to be sitting across the negotiating table from a land buyer with better information that you do n’t have access to . That ’s called insider trading and people go to prison for that .
 Brady ’s got a lot of questions to answer on several fronts about this .
 If you know too much within a particular field , then you should be ignored in order to ensure that the decisions reached are good for no one within that field . The best government is the one lead by experts in no fields .
 This is similar to the earmark that Denny Hastert promoted that had a direct economic bearing on land he owned . It did n’t hurt Hastert but he was nearing the end of his career and was not running for governor when this story was let . And we had a lot of other fatigue with Bush , Iraq , etc . by that time to even pay it much heed .
 It is troubling that Brady can so simply deny this was a conflict of interest . It most obviously was . Where did this guy gain his sense of ethics ? In the Illinois school of politics ?
 I ask myself what Brady could do that would cause me to vote to keep Quinn . We ’re not even getting warm yet , but the election is n’t until November , so keep trying .
 Where is the actual budget document that was handed out at this press conference ?
 It ’s in a series of amendments that are being filed today .
 Not even warm enough to just not vote for either goodball A or goofball B ?
 I mean sometimes , you just do n’t have a choice . And sometimes is becoming all too common . The parties and the voters behind the parties really need a farm team that can advance some winners instead of having the losers rise to the top on their own “ merits ” .
 westsidecounter : You should n’t talk about things you obviously know so little about .
 No way would Brady have gotten through the primary if this information was known about him earlier . He kept it all hidden just like he wanted to hide his taxes .
 Republicans probably should n’t have gloated so much over the Scott Lee Cohen thing .
 Alot of people said the same thing about Rod in 2002 . Brady ’s starting to resemble Rod more - and - more every day .
 Last I check Madigan was n’t running for Governor ! He supposed to be better than Madigan , right ?
 I would submit to you that Brady ’s conflict of interest is much more factually egregious than Hastert ’s , if Brady actually owned the land or options on it in direct proximity to the Curtis Road interchange in Champaign County . Hastert ’s land was a 10 - 15 minute drive from the nearest planned interchange for Prairie Parkway , an iffy value boost for residential development for a highway that might not get built in our lifetime , but still a major faux pas in the court of public opinion .
 Politicians who want to promote good infrastructure improvements should steer clear of personal enrichment issues , in appearance and in fact .
 Let me get this straight . Everybody ’s all fired up about three pieces of legislation that Brady voted for , even though NO ONE can provide a definitive , legitimate timeline on votes vs. ownership status ?

Set in leafy tropical gardens, Komaneka offers a zen-like oasis in the heart of central Ubud, perfectly placed for perusing Bali’s creative core. The property was formerly a residence for artists behind the prestigious Komaneka Gallery, which showcased contemporary Indonesian and Balinese art, placing you right in the heart of Ubud’s creative roots.
Perfect forA blissful stay in a contemporary Indonesian resort.
Komaneka sits back from the Monkey Forest Road, Ubud’s central strip packed with arts and crafts stalls, restaurants and bars. At one end of the street sits the royal palace, and at the other lies the sacred monkey forest.
Spacious, Balinese style rooms and suites flaunt dark wood furnishings, sunken marble bathtubs and private terraces with views over the tropical gardens or out towards the rolling rice fields. Wonderfully disconnected from the bustle of the street, you’ll wake to the sounds of croaking frogs and chirping birdsong each morning.
The Garden Terrace Restaurant sits inside an open pavilion nestled within the greenery, offering relaxed dining and a decidedly soothing ambience. The evening cuisine incorporates aromatic Indonesian flavours and uses fresh, local ingredients, while the extensive breakfast selection is truly scrumptious. Complimentary afternoon tea is also served daily by the pool, with different specialties on offer each day.
The property has an excellent pool and neighbouring bar- perfect for pre-dinner cocktails, as well as a terrific spa offering Indonesian beauty and massage treatments. Also on site is a library and a fine art gallery and gift shop selling local handicrafts.
Komaneka can organise a whole range of activities and tours for you from the hotel, including trekking and cycling routes, day tours to the surrounding temples and villages, or rafting trips for the adventurers. They also host a number of special dinners, including a full moon and new moon dinner, and charming tree top picnics. In Ubud itself, you can browse the vast selection of stalls and shops that sell arts and crafts of all shapes and sizes. And of course, no visit to Ubud would be complete without a stroll through the great monkey forest.
Komaneka is situated 28km from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and offers a free airport shuttle service to all guests.
