This Factsheet can also be downloaded as a PDF file: Rent Increases – Is my Increase Excessive
PLEASE note that the figures on the PDF have not been updated. Up to date CPI figures are in the table at the bottom of this page
You have been given the correct notice but the increase is way too high…
There is something you can do…
Apply the formula… try negotiation or have it reviewed
Start with the Factsheet Rent Increases and Reductions to see whether your landlord has followed the correct process and is allowed to increase the rent. If they have, this factsheet helps you work out whether the size of the increase is excessive or not, and gives you a starting point to negotiate for a fairer amount.
Section 68 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 provides a formula to determine who bears the onus of proof when an increase is being reviewed by the Tribunal – ie, whether the landlord has to prove that the increase is not excessive, or whether you have to prove it is excessive.
It also gives a list of factors that the Tribunal must consider when deciding whether an increase is fair, such as the state of repair of the premises and the rent for comparable premises (see section 68(3) below).
The law does not set a limit for increases. It does provide you with a figure to use in negotiations with your landlord/agent, and factors for the Tribunal to look at if negotiations are unsuccessful and you apply for a rent review.
The formula increase is what your new rent would be if your property was average*, and it tells you whether your landlord is seeking a larger or smaller percentage increase than the average landlord in Canberra. However, your property may not be average. The factors under section 68(3) may mean that your rent should increase by less or more than the average figure.
*Actually, the formula adds 20% to the average percentage increase in rents, so if rents go up 5% the formula allows an increase of 6%.
Section 68 Factors
(3) If a tenant or lessor proposes that a rental rate increase is or is not excessive, the tribunal, in considering whether it is satisfied about the proposal, must consider the following matters:
(a) the rental rate before the proposed increase;
(b) if the lessor previously increased the rental rate while the relevant tenant was tenant—
(i) the amount of the last increase before the proposed increase; and
(ii) the period since that increase;
(c) outgoings or costs of the lessor in relation to the premises;
(d) services provided by the lessor to the tenant;
(e) the value of fixtures and goods supplied by the lessor as part of the tenancy;
(f) the state of repair of the premises;
(g) rental rates for comparable premises;
(h) the value of any work performed or improvements carried out by the tenant with the lessor's consent;
(i) any other matter the tribunal considers relevant.
A relevant factor under section 68(3)(i) is whether you are forced to pay rent through a rent-card that charges you a fee.
Also, see whether there are any reasons for you to have the rent reduced under section 71 (See Factsheet Rent Increases and Reductions).
Apply the Section 68 Formula
Section 68
(1) The tribunal must allow a rental rate increase that is in accordance with the standard residential tenancy terms unless the increase is excessive.
(2) For subsection (1)—
(a) unless the tenant satisfies the tribunal otherwise, a rental rate increase is not excessive if it is less than 20% greater than any increase in the index number over the period since the last rental rate increase or since the beginning of the lease (whichever is later); and
(b) unless the lessor satisfies the tribunal otherwise, a rental rate increase is excessive if it is more than 20% greater than any increase in the index number over the period since the last rental rate increase or since the beginning of the lease (whichever is later).
(4) If the tribunal considers a proposed rental rate increase is excessive but a lesser increase would not be, it may disallow so much of the increase as is excessive.
(5) In subsection (2):
index number means the rents component of the housing group of the Consumer Price Index for Canberra published from time to time by the Australian statistician.
CPI figures
The figures below are sourced from the Consumer Price Index Report, produced quarterly by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The figure is not the general CPI figure, it is for rents only.
To find the figures, the complete list of CPI figures for Canberra dwelling rents can be found in ABS CPI Downloads TABLE 9. CPI: Group, Sub-group and Expenditure Class, Index Numbers by Capital City the worksheet is – Index Numbers: Rents; Canberra. You then need to scroll down through all of the figures in the index until you reach "rents Canberra" (down to table (1129)
Alternatively, the following link will search Google and display results for recent quarters: SEARCH »
|Figures for the June Quarter 2019 will be released 31 July 2019.
Explanation of Quarters
Quarters relate to the 3 preceding months, as follows:
|March Quarter
|1 January—31 March
|June Quarter
|1 April—30 June
|September Quarter
|1 July—30 September
|December Quarter
|1 October—31 December
NOTE: The figures are released by the ABS at the end of the month after the end of the quarter, eg April figures (in the June quarter) are not available until the end of July.
An Example Calculation
The onus of proof is determined by applying the formula in Section 68(2):
…unless the lessor satisfies the Tribunal otherwise, a rental rate increase is excessive if it is more than 20% greater than any increase in the index number over the period since the last rental rate increase or since the beginning of the lease (whichever is later)…
Your tenancy agreement started in April 2015 at a rent of $450/week. At the end of April 2016, you received notice of a rent increase to take effect at the end of June 2016.
The most recent CPI figure available when you receive the notice is for the March 2016 quarter. Because you have not had an increase you compare the March 2016 CPI figure (99.9) to the figure at the start of your tenancy, in April 2015 (100.3).
The change is actually a decrease. As there is no increase in the CPI, if you challenged it the Tribunal the landlord or agent must be able to convince the Tribunal why it should be permitted.
To demonstrate the formula being used where there has been an increase in the CPI the example below uses previous CPI figures:
The most recent CPI figure available when you receive the notice is for the December 2010 quarter. Because the increase is after 12 months, you compare the December 2010 CPI figure (202.1) to the figure 12 months earlier, in December 2009 (192.9).
Calculate the difference in CPI figures:
202.1 – 192.9 = 9.2
Express the difference as a % of the initial CPI:
(9.2 ÷ 192.9) x 100 = 4.76%
Apply this to the current rent:
(4.76 ÷ 100) x $400 = $19.04
Work out 20% of that increase:
(20 ÷ 100) x $19.04 = $3.80.
Add both dollar amounts together:
$19.04 + $3.80 = $22.84
If the proposed increase is more than $22.84 (or the new rent is more than $422.84) the landlord or agent must be able to convince the Tribunal why it should be permitted. The formula increase is a useful starting point for negotiations.
Note that the Tribunal must also consider the issues listed in section 68 such as rent for comparable premises and the state of repair of the property.

Selected song/Gonjasufi – Duet
I just found this song on musicphilosophy.com and had to share. It's been a while since a song has had such an affect on me. Something about that beat and lingering guitar strokes…
As for the video, all the images were taken from the BBC series "Invisible Worlds", yet somehow they seem otherworldly. I'm hypnotized.

When it comes to food labels, natural and organic are not interchangeable terms. Both imply that food is more wholesome and healthy, but if you look beneath the label, there are stark differences. From the regulations that govern their production to the contents of the finished product, natural and organic foods are not the same.
According to the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), "natural" foods are minimally processed and free of artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors and additives like hydrogenated oils, stabilizers and emulsifiers. But there is no certification or inspection system to ensure that the label is accurate. Also, the term "natural" does not usually relate to growing methods or the use of preservatives, whereas organically-grown foods have strict regulations in these areas. The National Organic Program, part of the United States Department of Agriculture, holds the food industry to strict standards in the production and sale of organic foods.
Natural Meat and Poultry
According to the Food Marketing Institute, the term "natural" is regulated when it comes to meat and poultry. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service requires natural meat and poultry to be free of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and ingredients, and they must be minimally processed. Labels on natural meat and poultry should clarify the use of the term natural, such as there being no artificial ingredients. But labeling meat and poultry products as natural implies nothing about how these foods were raised, which means that the animals could have been subjected to hormones or antibiotics. Also, the term "natural" has no connection to the living conditions of the animals, whereas organic labels do.
Organic Foods
While "natural" refers mainly to the finished product, "organic" refers to not only the food but also to how it was produced. Foods that are labeled organic must meet or exceed the regulations of the USDA. This means that they must be grown and processed using organic farming methods that recycle resources and support biodiversity. Crops must be grown without synthetic pesticides, bioengineered genes, petroleum-based fertilizers or sewage sludge-based fertilizers. Organic livestock must be given organic feed, have access to the outdoors and be raised free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Looking at Labels
Just about any food can be labeled as "natural," but truly organic food carries a special label from the USDA. This label can be green and brown or black and white, and it features a circle with the words "USDA Organic" in the center. This label means that the food inside the packaging is at least 95 percent organic as recognized by the USDA's standards. Products that don't have the USDA seal, but say, "Made with Organic Ingredients," are at least 70 percent organic.
Demand for Natural Foods
According to the FMI, growing demand for foods that are healthful, tasty and environmentally friendly has increased organic food sales and encouraged food makers to label foods as "natural," even if they are not organic. Sales of organic foods increased nearly seven times between 1997 and 2007, and continue to grow. Therefore, many food producers have begun labeling their products as natural to appeal to these buyers, but this is often misleading. However, organic foods are often more expensive than conventional ones, so natural foods are a good option for many families. The FMI reports that, overall, organic food is neither safer nor more nutritious than conventionally-processed foods, but for those who want to limit their exposure to and consumption of artificial substances, organic is best, but natural foods are a healthy step in the right direction.

Did anyone follow any MLS action on Saturday? I see that Houston finally won one, Columbus is continuing its winning ways, etc.
Posted by: tri-village | May 11, 2008 1:37 AM | Report abuse
I just went through recap on the MLS site. Columbus - San Jose was pretty good. 5 goals before more than 9k. with the exception of LA - NY drew 27k all the other games have below 16k attendance. If only Randolf of LA can score LA would have won the game but with his poor finish in the box more one occasion and so did other team mates they are not going to win. Rogers from Columbus has a real potention being one of the good players from a local talent. He know where to run and he has the speed.

Houston won a late penalty when a Colorado defender lost his mind and parried the ball coming out of the penalty box. The ref seemed almost stunned as the call was delayed, but correct. Derosario deposited the spot -- kick lower left corner.
Great videos on Olsen/Wells. Why not send Wise to Fenty's house sniffing around for a stadium proposal.
USA women on fire last night. Sunil G. and D. Flynn were almost high-fiving each other in the VIP box (BTW -- Sunil's got at least a six inch vertical leap). Pia leaped higher than Lebron James when Hope Solo made her own confident leaping catch on a cross in the penalty area in the waning minutes. Pia's got them playing with determination and confidence. Can't wait for the Olympics and the eventual rematch against Brazil.

My daughter and I were well entertained last night. Two observations - Lucigol are you paying attention? First, on one play Wambach lined up on a wing, the ball was shifted to the other side of the field and she drifted centrally to make a run into the box for a cross. Second, on a play in the U.S. defensive end, Wambach sprinted and lunged to clear a ball out of touch to avoid it crossing the goal line for a Canadian corner. Forwards can move and play both ways.
Also, beautiful ball movement and wing play from the U.S. -- DCU wingers? were you watching?

With regard to the parking situation: I entered from Oklahoma Ave. NE, NW of the stadium. The attendant asked me where I was going, and I answered truthfully, forking over $12. Presumably, if I had said that I was going to the Gnats game, I would have been let in for free. From that point all vehicles were directed to the same area on the north side of the stadium, where shuttle buses to Gnationals Park were waiting.

Agree with griffin1108. It was a treat.
I hope the guys were watching last night. Women may have a different style from men, but fire, joy, and teamwork are not style dependent.
Oh and I miss Ben even more now that I've read/watched the interviews.
On the bright side, the Post's soccer coverage included two front-page above the fold articles and added up to at least a full page. Nice.

The bad news last night was those two East teams winning over West teams. If everyone else in the division keeps winning we're going to be firmly rooted in last place no matter what.
I never quite know what to do when I watch LA play NY. I suppose I should root for a 0-0 in such a case. But I seem to take more pleasure out of watching LA lose.
Robbie Rogers is a good player but SJ's defense turned into Swiss cheese in the second half and he ran through totally free. SJ's creating some chances but their finishing is as bad as ours is right now.

One other observation from last night at RFK...contrast this team with the one that bombed out last year and think about the difference that a coach can make.
Not only was the play clearly superior, but even when up by four they still played with grit and passion.
Griffon1108's question about DCU's wingers watching was one I also had last night. I also hope DC's FO was also watching and thinking about what a difference the right coach can make.

Two quibbles about Wise's profile of Olsen: First, he said that Ben recently returned to the flank for the first time in the nearly eight years, implying that he had been a d-mid for most of his career. Second, "goaltender" is a hockey term.

We've covered the good and brilliant parts of last night's game, here are the bad:
RFK box office computers going down, forcing will-calls and buyers to use the same windows.
The ticket office not finding the order for the guy who had a group of 23. If you're reading this, I hope all the kids got in.
Closing off one side of the stadium so that there were very few $28 sections and more $35 ones.

The mezzanine was pretty full on the side that was otherwise closed off. That leads to another bad thing: Many people entered through a gate on that side (Gate F, I think), but it was closed at the end of the game, causing a lot of congestion and confusion. People finally figured out that they had to head for the main entrance on the west side and circle back.
Any player ratings, Goff?

Here's what I'm making this weekend. I've got the stock made and the turkey reserved. Now I've just got to get the time to put the whole thing together which should happen this weekend. For those who've forgotten or never tried Turkey Bone Gumbo I thought I'd repost it since our family loves it so.
After I reviewed Gumbo Tales, Sara Roahen very graciously emailed me some recipes. The Turkey Bone Gumbo had caught my eye and I made it after Thanksgiving. Oooo, now that was some good gumbo! So savory, so rich.
However, I didn't want to go spreading her recipes around. Then I recently finished Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from the Times-Picayune of New Orleans. An excellent look at the basic cooking of New Orleans, it also had a recipe for Turkey Bone Gumbo that is very similar to Sara Roahen's. I now felt ok about putting the recipe out there. What follows is a combination of her recipe and of the one from Cooking Up a Storm.
The difference is that both recipes recommend saving any turkey meat from the carcass used for making broth and then to include it in the gumbo. I tried this, against my better judgment, which I am sorry to say was confirmed. After simmering for so long, the only thing that the salvaged turkey meat resembles is wood chips. Just save regular turkey meat (forgo a sandwich or two) and don't worry about recovering those bits of turkey from the cooked carcass. They will make the broth all the richer and you can toss them out without worry.
Roux making is not nearly as scary as you might think from reading recipes for it. Also, more important than anything else is keeping an eye on the color and keeping it from burning. My stove must cook hotter than either Roahen's or the recipe contributor from Cooking Up a Storm. I had roux ready in 10-15 minutes.
This is definitely a good reason to cook a turkey. I might have to do that this weekend ... my mouth is watering thinking of this gumbo.
For the stock
Step 1
1 turkey carcass
2 yellow onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2-4 bay leaves
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 gallon water, or enough to cover carcass
Combine all ingredients in a big pot, bring to a boil and then lower heat, simmering uncovered for about two hours. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Drain the stock, reserving all liquid. Discard all solids.
For the gumbo
Step 1
1 cup vegetable oil
1-1/4 cups flour
In a large cast-iron pot or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour and continue to stir constantly—either with a whisk or a wooden spoon. Cook for 20-25 minutes to make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate. If you sense that your roux is in danger of burning, reduce the heat immediately and continue to stir.
Step 2
1-1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 pound andouille or smoked sausage, cut into ¼-inch cubes
Then stir in onion, bell pepper, and celery, salt, cayenne and continue to stir for about 5 minutes, until vegetables begin to wilt. Be prepared: when cold vegetables hit hot roux, they emit a cloud of steam and a loud hissing. Add sausage, and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
3-4 bay leaves
6 cups turkey stock
2-3 cups chopped leftover turkey meat
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Add bay leaves and stock to the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface. Add all reserved turkey meat and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours.
Step 4
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped green onion tops
1/2 tablespoon filé powder
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Add black pepper and taste; adjust seasoning. Thin out with more stock or water if necessary. Just before serving, add parsley, green onions, and lemon juice. In order to properly incorporate filé powder, mix it first with a few tablespoons of stock; stir to a smooth consistency and then add to the gumbo. Serve with white rice, and potato salad if desired. Serves 8-10.

The Panhandle Bandshell
The Black Rock Arts Foundation launched ScrapEden SF — a project paring three San Francisco park groups with artists to create temporary public sculptures from reclaimed and recycled materials. Working under a Zero Waste grant from the San Francisco Department of the Environment and in conjunction with the Neighborhood Parks Council, three public art projects intended to inspire people to recycle, reclaim and reuse were unveiled in SF neighborhood parks in June 2007.
The Panhandle Bandshell was a full-scale, traditional bandshell constructed predominantly from reclaimed materials—including car hoods, circuit boards and plastic bottles. The project engaged community members through its design and installation and by providing a performance stage for acoustic (nonamplified) performances throughout the summer.
The Panhandle Bandshell Project has won numerous prestigious design awards and is currently installed at Fort Mason in San Francisco.

The Ultimate "How to Choose Your Wedding Dress" Guide
You are likely to have more photographs of yourself in your wedding dress than in any other outfit so it is crucial you wear a dress which makes you look fantastic and, even more importantly, feel sensational.
1) Research
Before you start shopping you should have an idea about what you are looking for. What is your reception venue like? What season are you getting married? What designers do you like? Is there a celebrity whose red-carpet style you admire? What celebrities are a similar shape to you, and how do they dress? Is there a particular part of your body you want to reveal, or to disguise?
Familiarise yourself with the main wedding dress silhouettes, as well as the different types of fabric which are used, so when the bridal consultant uses terms like charmeuse, and illusion bodice, you know what they mean.
2) Budget
According to Brides Magazine, the average British bride spends £1,378 on her dress, with a further £299 on shoes and veil. That is a significant amount for an outfit you will only wear once, so spend it wisely. Remember to factor in the cost of any alterations – shortening a hem, for example, can cost between £75 and £200 depending on the type of fabric and the number of layers.
Do not panic if you fall in love with a dress you can't afford. There is always a solution, whether it means considering that style in a different fabric, or adapting a similar dress with sleeves, a belt, or an overlay. With a little creative thinking, you will get there.
3) Planning and appointments
While some bridal salons take walk-ins, it is always wise to make an appointment to ensure you have a consultant's full attention. Ordering to delivery of your dress can take six to eight months, so start looking eight to ten months before your wedding day. Don't shop more than a year in advance – the chances are high that you will change your mind, and once a dress has been ordered it can't be cancelled.
Wear a good fitting bra, preferably a multi-way one, to your trying on appointments, and take shoes which are around the same height you will wear to your wedding. Ignore the size (wedding dress sizes are two to three sizes smaller than normal clothing) and focus on how it fits. Most dresses can be taken in one size before the shape is compromised, but they can only be let out half a size at most.
4) Be flexible
Try on dress styles you normally wouldn't wear. A wedding dress is no ordinary dress, so you may be surprised by what suits you. One area you should not flex much on is your budget. Be upfront with your consultant about how much you are willing to spend.
5) Saying 'Yes to the Dress'
You will try on a large selection of gowns during your shop visits, but don't be afraid to 'Say Yes to the Dress' once you find a gown that takes your breath away! In the same way that you stopped searching when you fell head over heels for your fiancé, you should do the same when you find your dress! Trust your gut and don't let the fear of missing out take away that special moment!

Friday was a day for celebrating – last day of classes for the spring and paying the remaining balance on student loan and the first of many softball games this summer.
Saturday was a day for laughing – hanging out with friends and making terrific spaghetti sauce and surprise visits from jet-lagged parents/Irish refugees.
Sunday was a day for restoration – early church service and crying our way through The Blind Side for the fifteenth time and sweet cat naps and long nature hikes.
And today is for vision – being up with the birds and getting to Trader Joe's before it opens then meeting up with every other housewife at Target and pilates and quiet times and making a meal for a sweet baby mama.
It's a day for puritan prayers,
that the broken heart is the healed heart,
that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,
that the repenting soul is the victorious soul,
that to have nothing is to possess it all,
that to bear the cross is to wear the crown,
that to give is to receive,
that the valley is the place of vision.

International Mining (IM) recently featured MST's Impact Network in it's evaluation of key players and innovators in mining technology.
IM Editor, Paul Moore, describes MST as making an Impact in Underground Mining, with over 100 installations around the world and it's ongoing development is driven by mine operators themselves.
The introduction of Wi-fi and digital networks in underground mines over the last few years has been a significant contributor to supporting underground technology innovations. MST's Impact addresses the "short-comings" of other off-the-shelf networks as it is easy to install and requires less power to maintain.
The article highlights how MST's intelligent architecture of it's Impact Network, has proved successful as a reliable underground mine network solution not only providing tracking and and two-way communications but can also be used for managing and streamlining mining processes such as MST's MineDash reporting.

My partner is getting crazy runaround from insurance
Responses (6)
The problem is that it is insanely expensive. Insurance companies hate parting with money and Harvoni is about $1000/day(per tablet) or so I believe.
Yes keep calling the doctor. They will do their best to help you. If not let me know and I might be able to help. I have brand new bottles of Harvoni that I don't take. Because I am cured. I will have 6 of them.
Hi Gina , I tried Support Patvoni but they kept giving me the run around . I have been working with them for almost a month & they keep telling me totally diff things. They have told me twice that they had both denials & we are good to go. Only to call back & say that they never said that? Im so confused , so let down & emotionally exhausted. My insurance only covers $2000 per any script. Did you get Harvoni through your ins? Thanks -Lisa-

Yes my insurance company paid for the whole thing.
Yes my insurance paid for the whole thing after the approval.
Gina H., are you still in a position to help someone?
Gina, which health insurance did you have?
Call me I can help 323-363-7557
My husband has hep c he is almost 50 and has had for 14 years his doctor said he had prescription in DC and he tried to pick up harvoni and they would not give to him because we live in Gaithersburg. He has Medicare a and b how do I get harvoni for him it is so frusterating we are just trying to love our kids and work and these insurance companies are so frustrating any advise so appreciated !! thanks
Hi,I was just wondering if his Dr. is helping him alot to get the approval.I don't know all the circumstances but I would keep on calling the insurance company and try to stick to one person, please be sure to get names so he can communicate with the same one, instead of repeating the circumstances over and over again, be firm, but friendly too.Keep calling, and the Dr. Or their nurse to help you.lots of luck, stay positive, it'll get thru for ya,
Hi Lady
My Insurance company (HAP) turned me down too. Twice! My doctor A Gastro. submitted an application to Gilead and got me on under their program. It's pretty much if the ""household income"" is under $100,000.00 a year, they will give you the drugs at no cost. All I had to do was send in a scan of my drivers license, W-2's and answer about 5 or 6 questions on the application form. From the time I got denied, on my appeal, to the time the drugs arrived was about a month. It was a faster process than I expected. You might want to go to Gileads website and look at their Support Path Program or call them for the information that would point you in the right direction. Fortunately for me my Docs head nurse took care of everything for me. Thank God for the Nurse's in this world.
Sooo... After working with high end hep c / liver transplant dr and nurse, about 40 phone calls to dr office, UHC, support path. Turning in all paper work to all of the said, being turned down four times by insurance. Finally getting support path to submit for review.
Then giving up somewhat, he got a letter from insurance out of the blue saying they approved it, after asking for a letter for the fourth refusal appeal. Geez what a rollercoaster. He's a week into treatment.
Well that is Really Good News!!! I'm glad it worked out in the end. I started Tx on march 12th. Now I know someone is out there following the same path as me at the same time as me. Keep me informed on his progress. Hopefully we both get cured.
Strange, my wife and I make much more than that but my Harvoni is costing a $5 Co-Pay each month. I got a coupon from Gilead otherwise my co-pay would be $200. I would've paid even more if I had to. I spoke with a spokesperson from Gilead and they helped me solve all of my problems and hooked me with the coupons.
Gilead most likely has a couple Support Path opinions depending on individual circumstances. In my case HFH sent me a packet with a questionaire to be filled out. It also came with a letter of what was needed such as a copy of my W-2 forms and a copy of my drivers license. I filled it out and sent it back to HFH and was contacted about a month later by HFH & Gilead saying that the meds were approved at No Cost. After the meds arrived, I also got a letter from Gilead saying things could change depending on circumstances like the insurance changing its postion, etc.. Standard form letter I suppose. I was told by HFH that the catch point, from Gilead was household income had to be below $100,000.00 to qualify for free meds. At a $1000.00 a pill, Gilead has to do something to get it out there. A lot of insurances aren't covering it yet and most people just can't afford $84,000.00 or two to threee years of their pay in most cases.
My partner is a single father of three makes 75,000 a year and never got a answer from support path...
Hi! I have HAP and was just told I was denied for the first time yesterday. Are you in the Metro Detroit Area? Who is your Dr. My Dr is at Henry Ford - Dr. Gordon.
I must say this deflated things for me yesterday. I am going to look into all the suggestion on this web site.
I think it is just so wrong for these insurance companies to deny coverage.
I'm so tired exhausted day and night.my eyes as yellow as my cofee and nicotine stained teeth.Ive paid for my health insurance my whole life.and long story short I was forced to get obamacare and so much bureaucracy and I need 63 thou still.ive given those mother I'm so bitter and so angry and so sick and now I'm treated like I'm at a clinic when I've my health insurance over 100k my whole life . I'm dying and I've never this isn't right and I'm so angry politics .the president imnsoad if I was a bum I'd have the harbvoni paid for you understand my insurance money is payin for the negro to get free harvoni but I served in Vietnam and been a grease monkey to die slow .
Believe me, I understand anger and the feeling like you spent your life doing the right thing and then get bent over. Since this thread was first opened I have read of people getting Harvoni under Obamacare and Ill try to find the thread. Basically someone called bullshit on my comment (no grudge held at all) but detailed the process how to get Harvoni if you cannot possibly afford it. It does not require you to be a 'bum'.
Take care and don't let bitterness eat you; it doesn't work; I've tried.
My boyfriend had his harvoni stolen right after he got it. Now he's having trouble getting insurance to put it through again. He was told he has 3 years to live without it. Help any suggestions
I may just have read something locally, that was before Harvoni was approved in Australia, there were buyers clubs here where they were buying an Indian generic (that has the complex bits made in Singapore) for around $11,000 AUD (or about $8000 USD) for a 12 week course.
Now it is on the public health here; the Gilead product which is 6 times more than the Indian generic.
Because of the cost we only get 12 weeks with an Harvoni and Ribavirin combo.
If i have pregnancy medicade but its going to end soon am i eligible? my baby is 2 months old and i need to be healthy.

Thank you!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my thanks to "Girl" who has been reading and commenting on my blog. I'd like to thank everyone else who has also been stopping by. It's so nice to know that someone besides my Mother is actually reading what I'm writing! (Thanks, Mom!) Tell your friends about us! In the next few days I will be premiering the new "official look" for Pink Lemonade (it's more of what I had planned in the beginning, but wanted to take my time getting it just right). I also have a little contest planned to begin in the next week or two so make sure you tell everyone about this blog so they can get in on it too!

Post subject: Kronos' quirks
Hi everyone
I'm new here, cause I'm new with Korg products.
A fresh Kronos LS owner here.
I wonder if someone have experienced the same strange behaviors that can't be trace down to defined cause. I'm with my keyboard for just few weeks, and already have noticed some strange things I wouldn't expect in this price range.
1. Once I turned it on, and it started to play some strange organ sound, although it was set to default piano in Setlist, as it always does. Then I changed to another Setlist, came back to first one and it was fine, as if nothing was wrong. Happened only once.
2. Once it prolonged playing remaining of a previous sound with the new selected sound until I switched to another and than back. Happened only once.
3. On many occasions, when I press something on touch screen, I hear beep for acknowledgment, but no changes from pressed command. Than I have to press again and there it goes. Sometimes it gets frustrating when I have to wait and press again and again to scroll or to select something.
Is this "normal" for PC based keyboard to have such quirks?
Should we expect updates that would improve performance and stability?
I must say it disappointed me, especially after I've seen some reviews emphasizing how stable this unit is.
I started to think if a standard ROMpler would give me more confidence. (Something like Kurzweil PC3K or Roland FA)
I would appreciate some comments.

My kronos just gave me my first serious problem after 2 years of use. I can still use it fully but it just has regular interuptions in combi mode now.
#1 is a mystery to me but seems like nothing too bad for a software based instrument.
#2 on your list seems like the SST function. It is designed to do that when you use sustain pedal to hold a sound and then change to the next sound, both sounds will play together until you release sustain or change to a third sound.
SST (smooth sound transition) is made to blend sounds as you scroll through them -but only 2 at a time.
#3 may be touch screen calibration issues. Especially when new, it is hard to get down a regular finger press on the screen. You may want to recalibrate touch screen every week or every few days until your finger habits adust to a regular routine. But i do agree that the screen touch response is not the best ,it works despite needing some extra prodding some times.
A stylus or pen can be used for the smaller screen cells which are not easy to get right even on high end devices like iPad Pro from apple. I have some fustrating touch response on my iPad pro right now. So i doubt there is a perfect touch screen out there.
Roland FA is going to lack more than a few benefits of Kronos. Kurzweil will also. But they aslo each have their own special abilities that kronos lacks.
As an entire package, kronos still stands taller.
My kronos is giving me real problems right now and my last chance is that a CD reset works or Korg sends an update, but regardless of the outcome, the only thing i can imagine being worth my while is Kronos. So i would rather take it in for service than get another brand of synth. And i doubt any synth brand out there is trouble free across the entire production output.
Kronos had a rough start with lots of issues always coming up and some people still have system crashes of different sorts. But still most users have had it working fine for them. That was my case for the past two years and my luck ran out. All i want now is a working kronos and not another brand.
It would be more trouble to get a new brand and lose out on what kronos offers. Easier to set up service for kronos.

I have had my K2 for 2 1/2 years and I've only had a few operational issues. Only rare problems since I've up-dated both OS and firmware. Both revisions are current now and I use a UPS.
To address item#1...Maybe when you've experienced a 'strange sound', you happened to bump your VJS? I found that on some programs if the VJS is programed to do something, touching it by accident can make bad things happen fast. It's pretty easy to bump it if you're intending to adjust the volume control. I have disabled my VJS in Global since I don't need it for my applications.
Another thing that can have an effect of sound changes is the Value slider. Bumping that can make things go bad, depending on the last thing you've touched on the screen. I try to leave it in the up position and out of the way.

Thanks for all the promptness!
At least I don't feel alone in the Kronos abyss.
I'll pay more attention on proposed. I'm quite new in this, so forgive my lack of knowledge. Issues I've explained were enough to awake my worm of qualm.
However, I'm certain I didn't move finger away from exact first tap point where there was no reaction, while on second tap it was all fine. It was more like an issue with an old computer, where it rejects external inputs while processor is too busy.
I'll try to find a stylus, calibrate the screen and followup on this issue.
Btw. is there any trick to prolong lifetime of this touchscreen. a protective foil or something?

I think I remember reading about someone using a protective cover, but I don't know if it causes any issues. The touch screen on my 19 year old Triton still works fine. I hope the new screens will last a long time with proper care too.

Using a light touch on the screen with a fingernail seems to work reliably, and has leaft no visible usage marks on the screen so far (several years use). I make a point of using clean hands on the Kronos after doing work on gritty stuff (soil, cement/concrete, engines....). The screen calibration was done using the "standard" fingernail two or three years ago, and seems to have held up. The Kronos will beep if an off-target touch is detected.

Heres a bit of an update.
I did the calibration and I started to utilize a nice thin stylus ( curtesy to my wife, she had a spare bamboo knitting needle!)
Precision improved, mostly due to stylus, but I still experience a beep without an action, mostly on changing tabs, or cancel. Its not that often to become annoying, but still I dont expect this in top class product.
And here are some more:
Take one piano sound, like I-A002. Try to rapidly change tone between keys A8,H8,C8. Use three fingers and make it fast. Youll hear some strange phaser distortion, as a laser shot in SF movie.
It hapened once that any piano didnt want to play higher than G#8.
After power recycle everything turned to normal.
Since those things are bothering me, I have another question. Are my expectations from top range keyboard to high?

I'd consider bug reporting them to Korg, especially if you have a documented process for consistently reproducing them. Who knows, maybe they'll get fixed in a future update.

I think you should use a proper stylus vs knitting needles.
not following " apidly change tone between keys A8,H8,C8. "
When I rapidly play A8 B8 C8 there is no problem. Keep in mind no acoustic piano is perfect. Thus a sampled AP is not ' digital perfect "

Its strange you dont hear it at piano I-A002. Ill try to record it and upload it somewhere. I was aiming at cleanest sounds available today, hoping the price wil define the quality, as usually is the case. I need that for some HI-FI production. Despite my wish to work with keyboard alone, I guess I should consider opening the door to VST world.
As for a stylus, I wouldnt worry because its made of bamboo wood and tip point is very fine formed. Works very smooth.

it is odd. A YT/recording is a good idea.
As far as recording quality, Kronos is out standing. Have recorded +30 songs on the SEQ, 100% Kronos. Multiple tracks, lots of piano/heavy FX
Will check out your recording

I'm with Greg - over 200 songs recorded on the Kronos, some with audio tracks, nearly all with sampling, midi control of other synths and lots of fx, and no problems.
As for the beep, you can get rid of it by going into Global mode and disabling the beep sound.

The only quirk observed on the Kronos X is the German Grand, lowest C# on the 61-key board sounds a little strange, with a sine wave tone superimposed on the note. It affects all Programs and Combis that use the German Grand samples, moves up and down the board with octave shift, or transpose, persists after a full reformat and reinstall, and is not heard on the Japanese Grand or any other piano types.
Wonder if anyone else has heard this.

Speaking only for myself and using my 6 1/2 year old version 1, I've never experienced any of these problems. Never tried the fast high note pattern though.
Seems very unusual.

The issue relating to "hearing a beep but no action results" with the touchscreen....
This has always happened to me occasionally, even going back to Oasys and M3 (I don't recall Triton behaving like this, but it was a monochrome display). It happens when you don't press closely enough to the "sweet spot". Hence using a stylus or fingernail can be better for accuracy than a finger.
However, I've always wondered how it's possible for you to be close enough to elicit a beep from the screen, but not close enough to actually trigger the action you want. Surely, you would think, if you are close enough to trigger a beep, then you are close enough to trigger the action.
I assume it's something to do with the display itself. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could happen in the development/manufacturing process?

Much apologies for being late with this post. I have rarely been online because work has been very busy and I've had to do a lot of wedding stuff. I only have a few months left to the date and I still have a bajillion things to do! There will be more on that later. I'm still trying to keep up to date with McCall's new cosplay releases, we now have a men's Victorian style topcoat and a women's viking costume (likely inspired by the television series, although I don't watch TV so I couldn't say for sure).
New Steampunk and Viking Costumes
NOTCHEDI like this design and I know my brother would love it. I can't wait to show it to him. Is it Steampunk? That's debatable. We could technically say anything is Steampunk, from pants to a pair of shoes, because when it boils down to it all Steampunk is is Victorian garments with a cog thrown in here and there. Honestly, I just like this coat as it is. Forget costumes and cosplay, how many Goth boys would love a coat like this? I can see it made in black wool, piped in cherry red, drafted with epaulets and more unique detailing along the sleeves. Overall it has a nice simplistic construction to it and I'm eager to own it. Do you have a man in your life who'd like this pattern? What do you think of it?
I'm in the habit of being honest about everything I put on here. I'm not paid to kiss McCall's ass. I do like them but I don't consider myself biased. I appreciate their efforts to create a higher caliber of costume pattern. This pattern was described to me as the most "costumey" to date and I feel that's a very accurate description. I'm not a fan of the Vikings show. I don't watch TV. The last thing I did watch was Karl Pilkington's The Moaning of Life! If I do watch anything else it's either Ink Master or a cooking show. I can't speak to the accuracy of this interpretation but I imagine fans will be quick to point out its flaws. I've perused a couple screenshots of the one woman in the show and I can see where they pulled inspiration from. The problem is that they're trying to recreate something that is so immensely detailed. We don't all have access to chain mail or can sit around weaving bits of leather into ornately woven garments. It's hard, right? So where are they going wrong?
Well, first off, in terms of construction things are far too simplistic to the point that they look unfinished and ill fitting. The cincher sits too high on the body causing it to bunch downward underneath the bustline. While yes it does sit that high on the character, there's obviously a difference in the construction of it. And while the shapes are similar in the tunic, there's something lacking in the design of the pants. I also don't think the fabric selections for the prototype were the best choices as I think they make it look worse. Faux suede and leather are super cheap looking and I think a different kind of fabric would've photographed better. Looking at the costume designs for the show as a whole you can see that there's an emphasis on a variety of texture. There's chain mail, lace like fabrics, mesh, wool, I think I even saw denim in there at one point. Maybe if someone tries this costume using a variety of materials it could look more convincing, but I certainly wouldn't recommend the use of synthetic leather.
If you're a fan of the Vikings TV show and you want to see some really awesome Viking and fantasy inspired period costumery, I encourage you to check out this blog. I've been a follower of hers for quite a while and I love her style. Have a look through her archives and marvel at her creations.
ConclusionI always appreciate seeing what new treasures McCall's will bring us with their cosplay brand, I'm a little underwhelmed this time around. I like the topcoat but there isn't anything particularly outstanding that makes it a "cosplay" pattern. And in regards to Intrepid, it's not up to snuff with the patterns that have come before it. I just don't think it's worth the $21.95 USD price tag, especially since you could piece together elements from their Vault Collection for less money than that. This hasn't thrown me off the brand though, I figure it's simply a little hiccup and that there will be better patterns to come.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers, loves!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become one of the standard tools for effective internet marketing but taking mobile devices into account may require some tweaking.
Research shows that mobile users may interact and behave very differently so have you updated your strategy to incorporate this?
Digital experts ShootScope explain just how to update your SEO strategy to get the best results for mobile devices too.
A multi-functional site
Mobile searches are now a regular feature and this means that your site needs to be optimized for visitors of all kinds.
In the past, having a dedicated mobile site was considered to be a better approach but with event of more sophisticated single sites, you can actually be penalized for creating a separate option for mobiles.
This is because as well as having to be careful not to be marked down for duplicate content, search engines reward sites which are multi-functional because their goal is to provide the user with the best possible experience.
Therefore, optimizing your site for both desktop and mobile browsing will enhance your SEO success rate.
Consider speed
Another factor which is taken into account by search engines is the speed at which your page loads.
This means that it needs to be able to load quickly and consistency on devices which may be reliant on mobile networks to stay connected. Although you can't do anything about the quality of their connection, you can try to ensure you've done everything you can, including compressing your images where possible.
Don't forget Siri
In the past, enquiries would have been entered into search engines by typing out requests but the introduction of Siri has changed all of this.
With voice searches now becoming increasingly popular, Siri will retrieve the results which best match the enquiry. SEO strategies therefore need to incorporate the different style likely to be adopted with voice-based searches rather than just traditional written commands.
In many cases, customers use search engines simply to find out your contact details rather than to discover a new company.
It's therefore a good strategy to reduce the number of steps required to view your contact details, particularly on mobile devices. This may mean incorporating one of your chosen site links to your contact details page as well as hooking it up to a PPC strategy.
Mobile users won't want to spend hours surfing on a small screen simply to find your phone number or email address so if you want their business, you'll need to make it as easy as possible for them!
Talk to the experts
An internet marketing agency can help you with all of the above SEO strategies and more, to make sure your business is being the best it can possibly be.

A Prairie Extension
In the summer of 1993 I had an opportunity to participate in a research project at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory as a DOE Teacher Research Associate. Under the supervision of Rodney Walton, I conducted a survey of native bee species within the Fermilab grassland areas (including several remnant prairies and old-fields dominated by European grasses as well as the prairie restoration project areas) and an appraisal of the degree to which the domestic honey bees interfere with the native bees by observing the overlap in resource use by domestic and native bees.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Lederman Science Education Center Staff for their never tiring endeavor of providing quality learning experiences for students of all ages. The opportunities and the education I have found through my experiences at Fermilab have been exemplary. I would also like to thank Dr. Rodney Walton, Director of Environment, Safety and Health at Fermilab who provided the resources and encouragment to tackle my initial Bombus study, and Elizabeth Quigg, educational software designer at Fermilab, who provided support and suggestions for this project.

All mediums are welcome, but know that most of the postcards in previous swaps have been mixed media in some way. You can draw, doodle, paint, decoupage, collage, sew, stamp or mix it up as you please. I have received paper cut postcards, and postcards with zentangles, paper patchwork, machine embroidered (on paper), illustrations, wool embroidery postcards, and even a postcard painted on canvas. Imagination is the only limit, and weve got plenty of ideas to share with you! I have even seen a knitted postcards in this swap!
You will get a gold star if you can incorporate recycled material in some way, because that is good for the environment.

A Gallery of Electromagnetic Personalities 6...
James Clerk Maxwell
(1831-1879) came from a middle class Edinburgh family. He is ranked with Newton and Einstein for the fundamental nature of his many contributions to physics. Most importantly, he originated the concept of electromagnetic radiation and his field equations (1873) led to Einstein's special theory of relativity, It is ironic that when in 1860 the University of Aberdeen was formed by a merger between King's College and Marischal College where he held a post, Maxwell was "redundant". He applied at the University of Edinburgh, but was turned down in favor of another. He found it necessary to move to London's King's College. In 1871, Maxwell was appointed the first Cavendish professor of experimental physics at Cambridge. Maxwell died at forty-nine after a short illness. He was buried in Scotland in the family plot; there were no public honors at his passing.
Rayleigh, Poynting
John William Strutt (Lord Rayleigh)
(1842-1919), who was in ill health for much of his youth and childhood, worked in a private laboratory he had constructed on his estate. He is most famous for his discovery of Argon and his work in acoustics, but he also contributed to electromagnetic theory. He worked on the precision determination of electrical standards and his work on the scattering of light explained the blue color of the sky.
John Henry Poynting
(1852-1914), one of Maxwell's students, was a professor of physics at Mason Science College, now the University of Birmingham, England. In 1884-1885 he published papers which showed that energy flow can be expressed in a simple formula using the electric and magnetic fields.
Bell, Edison
Alexander Graham Bell
(1847-1922) was a Scottish-born American audiologist whose family had been recognized for generations as leading authorities in elocution and speech therapy. He is famous for his 1876 invention of the telephone. He became wealthy and quite portly, moved to Novia Scotia, and declared himself to be sick of the telephone.

Thomas Alva Edison
(1847-1931) is the archetype of Yankee ingenuity. He played a critical role in the beginning of the age of electricity. His laboratories produced the phonograph, the incandescent lamp, a revolutionary electric generator, the first commercial electric light and power system, key elements of motion-picture apparatus, etc. He was owner or co-owner of a record 1,093 patents.

Do I have to take it out?!?The Tristan 1.5 will rock your world from the bottom up! It functions perfectly, and it is fun to look at, as well.
Design, long-term wear, comfort.
May be too large for beginners.
This plug is great for anyone who likes having things in their butt. It is larger than the original Tristan plug, so if you are new to anal play you may want to try that one first. This plug is more for the intermediate and advanced person with anal experience. This plug works great for extended wear or as a warm up for more involved anal play. The vibrating bullet helps relax your butt before inserting, and once in the vibrations can be felt throughout the plug. The plug is gender neutral, so male or female users can enjoy the plug.
Material / Texture
The plug is made from high quality 100% silicone rubber and is silky smooth. There was no noticeable smell when opened, and the plug is firm yet flexible. The shaft is much more flexible when the bullet is removed.
Design / Shape / Size
The design of the plug is ass-tastic! It was designed with butts in mind. The tip of the plug has a blunt point that helps line things up for insertion. Once in, the head flares quickly, so lots of lube and relaxing are key (having the bullet on helps a lot). The head flares back down around the neck of the plug, and the extended neck is what helps keep the plug in place. The base is shaped to fit nicely between the cheeks once the plug is all the way in. The thicker head and neck make the plug more advanced user friendly. We found that when the bullet is removed, you can place a finger in the plug and use it to help insert the plug. The finger can also be used to provide some extra stimulation to the P-spot if being used on a male. The plug is small enough that it can be hidden easily and does make it travel friendly.
Functions / Performance / Controls
The plug is designed to give you fill you up and stay in place; in both of these areas it is spot on! The full and stretched sensations are wonderful, and the base did not cause any pinching while sitting on the plug. The batteries did not last long (10 minutes) before they went dead, but the vibrations were pleasant. We had another bullet of similar size, so if one desires a stronger sensation the bullet can be changed out. The vibrations are felt throughout the plug and can be made stronger if one tightens up on the plug or sits on it and rocks back and forth. The bullet is a simple push button type that turns it on or off. The bullet is not too loud, so it can be used in areas where noise is a concern.
Care and Maintenance
Being made of silicone, it is water-proof, and silicone can be fully disinfected by boiling it for 3 minutes. It can also be cleaned using a water based toy cleaner, or mild soap and water. Remember to only use water based lubes with the plug. The container makes for a great drying rack; just be sure it is completely dry before closing the lid. The plug does come with a lifetime warranty; just be sure to save the receipt.
The plug is packaged in a small plastic cylinder with a removable top and bottom. There is a small label that talks about Vixen Creations, and inside is a small congratulations card regarding the purchase, and it is signed with a copy of Tristan Taormino's signature. The package can be gift wrapped as is and make a great storage box.
Personal comments
We use the plug as a warm up for pegging, and he will also use it solo just to keep things in shape. This is the second Tristan plug we have, and they are by far his personal favorites.
The only downer about this product was not with the plug but with the bullet that was supplied. The batteries did not last very long, but the concept of a vibrating plug is nice. The plug itself works great and does see quite a bit of use.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the FTC guidelines.
Great review, thanks.
Thanks for the advice on using a masturbator. My hubby does have one that I could use. I never thought about practicing with it to get better coordinated. Thanks so much.

100 Proof Press and Genuinely Jane blog hop
If you came from Christine blog - you are on the right way, and if not- the full blog hop list if on the bottom of this post.
So for this hop I made 2 projects. My first project is a whole Flower shaped mini book and I called it NATURE CALL and used all possible nature photos over it.
Spring Bouquet stamp (so far my most 100 Proof Press favorite!)
Then I stamped this Large hand holding black card stamp, hand cut it and glued to be a point for my book title.
All other embellishment were just the add- ons: Tando Creative chipboard leave and a bird on the branch, all covered with WOW! Embossing Powders and Handmade Halo shop paper flower.
This one has just a bit of stamped A flock of Crows and a lot of Mixed Media technique (gesso over stencil, misting)
Old Apple tree stamp, A Flock of Crows and the same Large Hand again)
Genuinely Jane girl from the book tag and added it on my page. Isn't she lovely?
Sm. Many Lines Circle and some stenciled circled too.
And now for my second project and this time I used one wooden Bird shape from Genuinely Jane company as my home deco piece.
100 Proof Press gorgeous Spring Bouquet stamp again over the naked wood and it looked like a wood burning. Then I misted it with some mists (not too much), heat embossed around with glittery gold powder and glued over the small wooden frame.
The inside cardstock was lightly stamped with Sm. Many lines Circle and added as a background only.
So here is your next stop on this hop-Sara
And here is a full list of all designers on this hop:
