First Impressions: Very welcoming doormen, clean lobby, fast check-in, relaxing ambiance in the restaurant, very clean room, and nice touch with personalized welcome message when turning on the television for the first time.
Location: The hotel is conveniently located to many things. Taxi ride from Midway Airport took less than 30 minutes. The cost was about $30. I took a city tour via Gray Line. They picked me up right in front of the hotel. Magnificent Mile is located only a block away from the hotel. Lots of quality shopping and many restaurants to choose from - all within walking distance. Navy Pier and John Hancock Center/observation tower is also within walking distance. I was able to walk to Trader Joes to buy fresh fruit and veggies for my morning smoothie. My room had a mini fridge. I brought my own mini smoothie blender. Note that some Google maps shows Whole Foods near the hotel. It currently isn't open yet. Sign on building said opening in 2015.
Room: My room was very clean and spacious. I liked many of the features in the room - gave me some ideas about my own place, like the sliding bathroom door. Loud city noises like sirens could occasionally be heard on the 14th floor. I had family on the 17th floor who was annoyed by the sounds. It didn't bother me because I live in a condo in a downtown area so I am used to listening to the hustle and bustle of the city. Sounded like home. My family lives in the suburbs so it was different for them.
On-site restaurant: I really like the food in the restaurant. I also enjoyed the ambiance. It was a casual and relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. I had lunch there on one of my days. I enjoyed watching a portion of the soccer game as I dined. There were many people dining, drinking, and watching the game. Everyone was so into it, even the staff. We all chatted with one another. Strangers enjoying their meals and having fun together - good times!
Overall: I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again when I return to the Windy City.

Review for Grab and Drag by mcmasterp
Grab and Drag
by Ian
Newest version ruined a perfect addon Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I have used and loved G&D for a long time. It is the first thing I install on any new firefox install. The newest version removed the feature to allow text selecting automatically when grabbing in text areas. This was the one setting I changed right away after installing. Also it seems to lose it's "hold" on a page now so it stops dragging or allows the page to start scrolling out of no where. I have tried adjusting the addon, and to just get used to it but it is now easier to just use the scroll bar, and I am sadly uninstalling the addon :-( I'm not sure how to be alerted if these problems are fixed so I can go back to G&D heaven.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (22.214.171.124-signed.1-signed).

PayPal Pro is not getting the billing address for some, but not all, of our site's subscribers. We're using s2member.
Paypal reports are missing the following:
1. Billing address information for _all_ of our yearly subscribers. Our yearly subscriptions don't recur. They are one-time purchases.
2. Billing address information for about 20% of our monthly subscribers. Monthly subscriptions automatically recur monthly.
PayPal says that the problem is on our end, i.e. that the reason they don't show the above billing information in our reports is because our site is not sending them that information.
Can you give me some advice on how to reconfigure S2Member to pass on every subscriber's billing address to PayPal Pro?

|Latest Update:
|Jul 20, 2016 08:03 AM
xCT+ is immensely based off the add-on xCT by braindump (aka Affli). It strives to be as minimalistic as possible while maintaining ease of use. That is why, introduced in version 3, you can now configure all settings while in-game.
Overall, xCT+ is a replacement for Blizzard's scrolling combat text. It is superior to the default combat text because xCT+ organizes incoming healing, incoming damage, and outgoing damage/healing into their own frames.
For those that have used Affli's xCT Add-On, xCT+ expands the functionality of its predecessor. New features include:

Posted by: Asag Posted on: Jun 26, 2015 10:43 AM
Everytime when I exit and enter again game floating combat numbers disapear. I have to everytime open xct and just click again base or traditional mode. Even when I check Bypass CVar Updates this still happening. Any way to fix this permamently? Not a big bug but very annoying.
Posted by: zZephyr Posted on: Jan 03, 2015 10:49 PM
Figured out how to merge crits damage with outgoing damage but now i have a different issue. I keep turning off "Show Names" under Incoming (Healing) and then quickly do /exit to save it but every time i log back in the next day it stays unchecked and yet its shows names with heals.
Posted by: zZephyr Posted on: Dec 11, 2014 01:06 AM
i'd like to get rid of my crit frame, and i want to see crits with the rest of outgoing damage.
Posted by: Dandruff Posted on: Nov 17, 2014 07:40 PM
@xkayxvenx that is extremely weird. Did you uncheck some merging spells in the old version? Thinking about it, that might cause the SavedVars to become corrupt, but that is what the Reset is for... :( Hrmmm
Posted by: xkayxvenx Posted on: Nov 16, 2014 02:53 PM
@Dandruff I have updated the addon and the only work around I could do was open it in Notepad++ and copy the
["Oreil - Wyrmrest Accord"] = "Oreil - Wyrmrest Accord",
line at the top and change the character name if there was a blank screen.

When doing /xct the addon will sometimes be blank. It was fine when I first re-downloaded it for my priest. I got to set the font/panels and then when switching to my druid to set it up /xct came up blank.

text: What's up, Smogon? I saw that a lot of people use VoltTurn teams that, I must say, tend to be pretty annoying, but I decided to tag it with lots of entry hazards, that will do massive damage to a switching Pokemon, due to my VoltTurning. So let's get started. TEAM AT A GLANCE: More detailed look: So, basically, this team (and the match) is divided into 2 parts: stalling and VoltTurning. First three Pokemon accomplish this pretty nicely, as they have good type synergy and can set up every type of hazards. Swampert Politoed (Swampert) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Torrent EVs: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Stealth Rock - Ice Beam - Earthquake - Roar I find Swampert a very good lead as it is able to tank almost every hit thrown at it and set up Stealth Rocks first turn, very vital for the following stalling part. EQ is obviosly a powerful STAB move and Ice Beam is for Dragons trying to set up, as Swampy 2HKOes 'Nite with it and takes +1 Outrage. Roar to force away other set-uppers, as well as get some nice damage with SR. Skarmory IronMan (Skarmory) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Spikes - Whirlwind - Roost - Brave Bird The best defensive wall in the game? I assume I can say that. The IronMan adds the complementary things for SR to the field, Spikes. I know it gets trapped by Magnezone, but that's why Whirlwind is there. (I tried Shed Shell, but the Zone was too rare to make it more useful than lefties.) Roost is obviosly for healing and Brave Bird for finishing or getting rid of annoying Fighting-types (which I have a bit of problem with). Not to mention it has perfect type synergy with Pert as long as we talk about super-effective. Tentacruel RAPE TIME (Tentacruel) (M) @ Black Sludge Trait: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Scald - Rapid Spin - Toxic Spikes - Protect Second Best Hentai Tentacles Rape Monster Just Behind Cradily comes into the field to remove any hazards, so poisonous for the stall team and set up Toxic Spikes of it's own. However, Scald is to get some burns on Levitators that are able to avoid the poisoning. And Protect obviously to scout Choice-users. * * * When the field is messed with lots of stuff, it's time to get offensive and force lots of switches. I find Rotom-W, Scizor and Infernape to have really good move coverage and each of them can fulfill another function (special, physical and mixed sweeper). Rotom-W Housewife (Rotom-W) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] It's ready! The chicken is in the... washer, I guess. The fastest member of this team gets the momentum going with STAB Volt Switch. If I manage to predict right (which is often, as I like to predict a lot) let's score some KO's with STAB Hydro Pumps. HP Ice knocks out Dragons and Thunderbolt provides the opportunity to stay in and grab some vital damage. Scizor Sniper (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - U-turn - Superpower - Pursuit Say hello to the strongest U-Turn in the metagame. Scizor is slow, but has a bunch of resistances, useful resistances that will often force a switch. Then this pivot wrecks an incoming Pokemon (that doesn't resist it) and adds the grist to the mill. Bullet Punch is there for revenge killing and abusing the Technician, while Pursuit gets rid of Latii. Superpower can smack a predicted Steel switch-in, hopefully a Magnezone. Infernape Ninja (Infernape) (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Blaze EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Close Combat - Overheat - U-turn - Grass Knot I didn't want to Choice-lock every offender, so I chose Life Orb Infernape, that is naturally very fast and has even Attacks, perfect split for a Mixed Sweeper. After my stats getting absolutely demolished with Close Combat and Overheat, 2 powerful STABs, U-Turn quickly and nicely washes them away and provides an appropriate switch-in with some damage. Grass Knot is the move to whip away Swampert and heavy waters, preferably previosly damaged (what am I talking about, I take at least 37.5% HP a switch-in, hopefully). So this is probably all. Feel free to comment and apply any necessary changes.

I was only long and stubborn years ago. I didn'tbelievewhat I saw and I used to hope. But if you believe"the trend is your friend", then you haveto playboth sides. NTOP may be worth $200 ultimately,butwho cares? Its short-term trend is down. When I seeaconfirmed uptrend again, I'll be a buyer again. Trendreversal takes time. When a stock reaches its top inprice, because there is still enough speculativebullishinterest, supplies coming into the market are well absorbedand prices won't go down sharply initially. But, manylongs tend to misunderstand this phenomenon andthink the price holds well.

|In office

|Personal details
|28 October 1926
|New Zealand Australian
|Political party
|Australian Democrats
|Journalist, author
Colin Victor James Mason (born 28 October 1926) is a New Zealand-born Australian journalist, author and former politician.
Mason worked for 14 years as the first foreign correspondent of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation[1] and became deeply involved in Asian affairs. In 1968, he wrote Dragon Army, a popular history of Asian communism.[2]
He joined the Australia Party and rose to become its national convener (1976). He joined the Australian Democrats and was elected to the Senate at the 1977 election as a senator for New South Wales. He and Don Chipp (Victoria) were the first two Australian Democrats elected to the Senate, although Janine Haines (South Australia) had earlier been appointed to a casual vacancy.
He was re-elected at the 1983 double-dissolution election for a three-year term, and again at the 1984 election for a three-year term ending on 30 June 1988.[3] He retired in 1987 when another double-dissolution election was called.
He later wrote A Short History of Asia (2000),[4] concerning imperialism and the modern history of many individual countries in Asia.
In 2003, Mason released The 2030 Spike: Countdown to Global Catastrophe, in which he describes a confluence of six 'drivers' that he argues will converge in the decade of 2030: depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness. He describes more than 100 steps to be taken to mitigate this convergence, including a form of world government. In 2006 he released a revised edition, A Short History Of The Future - Surviving the 2030 Spike[5] A copy of The 2030 Spike was found among 39 other English-language books in the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed.[6]

I guess I am doing my taxes wrong? I am receiving around 1000 dollars in tax refund, and someone tells me it should be as close as to zero as possible, I thought the tax refund was government giving back most of the taxes that have been taken out of our paycheck? I guess I have been doing it wrong to maximize my refund? I only made ~9000 last year.
You don't "need" your refund to be as small as possible, but you usually would want it to be as small as possible.
The reason people say you should aim for a small refund is that getting a big refund means you paid more in taxes than you had to. This means you gave away money that you could have done something else with. You get the money back later as a tax refund, but you lost the ability to use it during the time the government had it.
For instance, if as you say you are getting a $1000 tax refund, that's $1000 that you are giving to the government over the course of the year. At the end of the year, you get it back, so you end the year with $1000. If you instead kept the money, (by paying only exactly as much tax as you owe throughout the year) you could invest it somehow, so that by the end of the year it could potentially have grown to, say, $1050. Thus at the end of the year you would have $1050 instead of $1000.
Ideally you would have zero refund and owe zero extra at the end of the year. However, since it is often difficult to make things work out so exactly, people often say you should aim for a small refund.
Assuming you are in the USA, if your income is only $9000 you will likely not owe any federal income tax at all, so you could claim exemption from withholding and avoid paying any tax ahead of time. You could check this when you file your taxes by seeing if the refund you get is equal to the total of taxes withheld from your paychecks over the course of last year.
Years ago, a coworker bragged to me how his "tax guy" got him a huge refund. I told him my goal was to owe a couple thousand dollars, and that I'm glad I didn't have his guy.
In the end, your return should reflect the truth, and a good tax guy will be little better than good tax software. The bottom line is that a refund is money you lend the government, interest free. If you can owe a bit of money but avoid paying a penalty, you'll have gotten a free loan from Uncle Sam.
Given the fact that most (it seems that way, someone tell me if I'm wrong) families carry some balance on their credit cards, they are paying out 12% or more on their highest interest debt. Lending the government even $1000 for the year comes at a cost, if you file in time to get your refund by the end of March, that's an average 9 months you are out your money. 12%/yr is $90. Scale that up to $3000, the average refund, and the max 24% rate I've seen, $540 lost. Better to adjust your withholding, and get the extra money each paycheck to pay off other debt.
Obviously, for those with no debt, their cost is minimal, perhaps 1%, but still better in your pocket for the year.
If you pay in this money every paycheck, only to feel good getting it back every March or April, while paying 18% card interest every month, that's your choice. And Stevej will support that decision, or so it seems.
EDIT - The Huffpost article Steve linked titled "Big Tax Refunds Really Are Good" ignores this debt, only focusing on the near zero rate banks offer now. The article listed 8 reasons the author felt this way. By the way, the author is the "Chief Tax Officer, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc" which makes him a bit less than a disinterested third party. And all 8 of his reasons are far from compelling. "In my opinion, getting a $3,000 check is never a bad thing." This was #1, and by now you know why I disagree. Next, "More than 75 percent of all individual taxpayers get refunds year after year. It has been this way for decades.... It is unlikely that 75 percent of all taxpayers are all making bad financial decisions every year." That's enough. Rhetorical nonsense. Read the rest for yourself and decide if the next 6 reasons are any more compelling. Keep in mind, sellers of tax software or services have backed themselves into a corner with the "largest refund" claims. I'm sympathetic to the fact that "we'll shoot for no refund at all, in fact, our goal is for you to owe just $100" will not be their next campaign.
EDIT 2 - I gave this more thought as I started to write a near 1000 word post on this topic. I came to find that 1 in 4 employees did not deposit enough in their 401(k) to capture the full match. This is the highest lost opportunity as the potential return is an instant 100% for matched deposits. Again, it's easy to dismiss the near zero bank rates, but that's not the alternative best use for the money.
I would go even further: You should want to pay as much as possible with your return without having to pay a penalty. This lets you keep your money as long as possible without costing you anything extra. You don't want to overdo it and pay fees, so leave yourself some buffer. Still, try to get yourself in the mindset that paying at tax-time is a good thing!
Let's say you should have paid $4000 in taxes in a year, but you paid $5000, so you get a tax return of $1000. "Somebody" thinks that you should have tried to only pay $4000 in the year and get zero tax return. I hope he or she doesn't think you should pay $5000 and mess up your tax return so you get no refund.
Once the end of the tax year is there, you should do what you can to get as much tax returned as possible. On the other hand, you should also have tried to pay less during the year - obviously every dollar you paid less is a dollar less refund.
The pure numbers answer says you want the refund to be close to $0. You can even argue, as some answers have, that you want to try to maximize the payment without receiving any sanctions for underpaying during the year.
If you trace the money, it's easy to see why. Let's say you get a paycheck. Tag some of the dollars for Uncle Sam. These are the dollars that, eventually, will be given to the IRS. Now consider the following scenarios:
From the raw numbers like this, its clear that you lose utility by setting yourself up for a large refund check. The money was yours the entire time, but you chose to give it to Uncle Sam instead.
However, the raw numbers are only part of the puzzle. If you're a cold steely-gazed numbers person, they're the part that matters. When the billionares are playing their tax evasion games, this is the only thing they are paying attention to. However, real humans have a few psychological reasons they may choose to lose utility in terms of raw dollars in exchange for psychological assistance:
These attitudes exist, and may be ideal for any one person. Obviously the financially savvy answer of "minimize your refund" is the ideal answer from a dollars and cents perspective, but its up to you to see whether that attitude is right when you account for all of the non-measurable things, like stress. In general, I would lead anyone to "minimize your refund," but I would be remiss if I didn't include the very real psychological reasons people choose to deviate from it.
It depends on when you're setting the goal.
1) When you have finished the year and you are filling out tax forms, your goal is to get as large of a refund as possible.
2) When the year begins afresh and you are earning money and paying taxes, your goal should be roughly to pay exactly the amount of tax owed so that at the end of the year you don't have any refund or tax owed - it's the same as getting your tax refund right away rather than waiting until after you file taxes. So you want your W4 set up appropriately (assuming you're talking about the US).
I think (1) is obvious. For (2), imagine you start the year with the goal to get the largest possible tax refund at the end. Well that's simple - fill out the W4 and on line 6 ("Additional amount, if any, you want withheld from each paycheck") tell them to withhold everything. Then at the end of the year you'll get a huge refund. Of course in the meantime, you've made an interest-free loan to the government, and you've probably had to take out a high-interest rate loan from your bank or credit card. Obviously this is bad.
An argument could be made that it would be even better to slightly underpay your taxes (but not enough to owe a penalty). Ignoring human weakness, this is correct. If you have the discipline to set that money aside in a safe place, that's okay. If this would cause you to spend that money (or even save less of your other money), then this is a bad idea.
So I'd really want to highlight some of this depends on your own financial discipline - is it better for you to have the money right away so that you can make good choices with how to use it now, or is it better for you to put the money somewhere out of reach so that you won't spend it on impulse purchases? (and recognize that there are ways to put it out of reach and earn interest on it rather than spending it - one good choice for you would be a Roth IRA)
Your question begins with a misunderstanding.
When you prepare your tax return (Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ) you always try to minimize your total tax bill.
When you fill out form W4 you trying to estimate how much tax will be shown on next years tax return.
The penalty for having too much tax withheld is not having the use of the money until you get a tax refund. At the moment interest rates are very low and your economic loss is the temporary loss of access to the money. One exception would be if you are carrying credit card debt. In that case you are, in effect, paying 20-30% interest to borrow money you lending to the US Treasury for 0% interest.
The penalty for having too little tax withheld is having to make a large payment with your tax return. If your pre-payments aren't at least as much as your total income tax from last year there may also be modest underpayment penalty based on the difference between your pre-payments and your total income tax from last year or this year whichever is less. A large underpayment will trigger a different larger underpayemnt penalty.
The W4 combined with the withholding rates tends to over-withhold income tax for most, but not all, taxpayers. Most people don't have enough savings to pay a large tax due, which leads to more penalties and an even larger bill. Over-witholding protects the overall tax system from the consequences of those events. People tend to be very unhappy, not quietly.
On balance your greatest economic benefit depends on whether or not you have high interest debt. If you do, then accurate and even slightly under-withholding will probably work to your advantage as long as you can pay next 4/15. If not, avoiding the chance of having any unexpected balance due next year may be more important.
Something I've not heard mentioned in any of the answers is that (at least for me) owing some tax money is better than having a refund from a ID theft/fraud/security aspect.
The US IRS has been hacked several times recently and there have been cases of fraudulent tax refunds being filed and tax refund checks being cashed by ID thieves. Well, if you owe a bit of tax then you're less of a target for fraudulent tax refunds being filed in your name.
Even in the case that you were unlucky enough to have had your identity stolen, at least you don't have to deal with the IRS trying to sort a mess like that up.
Thus, (IMO) it's better to owe a bit of tax, than to have a small refund, or any refund for that matter. Ideally, you want to get to zero dollars owed like you suggested, but that's often pretty hard to do. So, the next best thing is to owe a bit.
One should try to calculate tax liability quartely or if income changes, adjust your withholding, so that you get closer to zero tax.
Having a large state return also means that there is a potential income tax liability created at the federal level for the following year, as the situation resulted from the deduction of more on one's federal return than should have been deducted. The state refund is treated as federal income in the year it is refunded.
Set aside any perceived positive aspects of being owed a refund and weigh those with the negatives. What are the reasons you should not have your money tied up with the IRS? You'll see that Uncle Sam does not have a good track record as a financial institution:
Many thousands of refunds every year are delayed for many months due to IRS systems glitches. Yet, many people count on that refund which is not always guaranteed within the stated time-frame.
You have no legal recourse. You cannot sue the federal government for the money you lent them when they decide not to pay you back for an extended period of time. Yet, if you decide to delay paying them, they have all the power and will use it to charge you fee's that no corporate / private institution would get away with.
"owing some tax money is better than having a refund from a ID theft/fraud/security aspect"
Again, there is zero financial incentive to lend free money to Uncle Sam, he is not a bank. The only time interest comes into play is when the refund is overdue. Even then, it is not an incentive / doesn't come close to the penalty burden on you if you don't pay your taxes on time.
I would ask the followup question: What sane person would engage in business with such a financial institution?
I contend that there is great value in over-paying during the year and reaping a bigger refund.
I'm an engineer and understand the concept interest earned, blah blah. But for most of us, this isn't reality. The reality is that we spend what we earn, plus a little more.
At the end of each month, if the typical American has money left over - we spend it. We don't faithfully put that money that we would have payed into taxes to good use (such as savings or paying off that credit card).
Getting that big refund at the end of the year tends encourage us to make that one-time large payment to that high interest account, or to purchase that item that we otherwise wouldn't have saved for (or purchased with a credit card).
I say, give Uncle Sam the free interest - you'll have wasted that money during the year anyway - and enjoy a nice healthy refund that you can put to use for something you enjoy.
Life is just too short.

What is a 'Variable Overhead'
A variable overhead is the indirect cost of operating a business that fluctuate somewhat with the level of business activity, but are incurred even if business activity is minimal. While most overhead costs such as rent, salaries and insurance are typically fixed, overhead costs that increase with higher business activity and decrease with lower business activity are termed as variable overhead. These usually consist of indirect material, indirect labor and other costs that cannot be directly allocated to a specific product, such as expenses for utilities and equipment maintenance.
BREAKING DOWN 'Variable Overhead'
For example, utility expenses for electric power are incurred by a manufacturing plant every month; the actual amount owed for such expenses depends on the level of manufacturing output. However, even if the plant produces no output in a given month – for reasons such as a labor dispute or shortage of a critical input material – it still needs to "keep the lights on" in order to keep the plant in working condition, and will be billed by the utility accordingly.

For many Canadians, 2015 will be remembered as a banner year for the environmental movement.

The federal election will be remembered for the way it ignited over an issue that directly affects a handful of migrant women — those who feel it necessary to wear the niqab during Canada's citizenship ceremony.

OTTAWA — Prominent B.C. Conservative James Moore, who confirmed Wednesday he would not seek the party's leadership, said the next Tory leader has to embrace a broader and more optimistic nation-building vision that tries to appeal to all Canadians, and not just the party's core supporters. But Moore, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's former senior minister in B.C., would not join other Tories who have criticized Harper for being dictatorial and going too far by campaigning with former Toronto mayor Rob Ford and focusing on hot-button "identity" politics.
In a federal election campaign that was characterized by wild voting swings, the only constant was that a large proportion of British Columbians saw the economy and jobs as the top issue facing Canada. The appearance of the economy and jobs at the top of the list has been the reality of the past three federal elections, albeit with different levels of support. In 2008, at the height of the global financial crisis, the numbers climbed close to 70 per cent at one point. As British Columbians prepared to cast their ballots on the final weekend of the 2015 campaign, Insights West found that 37 per cent of respondents considered the economy and jobs as their main concern.
Justin Trudeau will face some tough decisions even though he won't have to worry about a B.C. talent shortage when he chooses his cabinet. British Columbians can expect as many as five ministers, though it could be fewer if he decides to have a cabinet considerably smaller than Stephen Harper's.
