President Sandro Pertini abruptly resigned Saturday nine days before the end of his seven-year term, in an apparent rebuke to the government and the political parties that declined to re-elect him at the age of 88.
"I present my resignation as president of the republic so that the new president can more quickly assume his full powers," Pertini said in his resignation letter.
"I leave the Quirinal Palace with a secure conscience of having done my duty in the exclusive interest of the Italian people, whom I have always loved immensely," the letter said.
The resignation took the government and President-elect Francesco Cossiga, 56, by complete surprise.
When Pertini sent his resignation letter to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies and to the government of Socialist Prime Minister Bertino Craxi at noon, Cossiga was in Sardinia on the third and final day of a triumphant visit to his homeland.
Cossiga immediately cut short his trip and flew back to Rome, where he took over as "provisional" head of state.
The move was possible because Cossiga will remain president of the Senate until a replacement is elected. The holder of the post takes over as acting head of state if the incumbent resigns or is otherwise incapacitated.
In addition, the date of Cossiga's swearing-in before a joint session of Parliament was hurriedly moved up to this Wednesday from July 9, the day after Pertini's seven-year term was to have ended.
As president, Pertini has been popular among ordinary Italians, who liked his independent nature and his close identification with the nation's triumphs and tragedies.

Danielle - posted on 09/10/2012 ( 4 moms have responded )
Just some examples are: Did not come to his baby shower or get him anything. Did not come to his 2nd bday party or get him anything but got my stepson presents and candy on his birthday which is 17 days after my sons. They are always leaving him out. It really irritates me and I have tried to explain to them and they say well we werent getting along but that has nothing to do with my son. Specially when they do stuff and give stuff to my stepson who they see just as much as my son. I just really need to know how to get past it because my sons birthday is in a day and all I can think about is how he got nothing from his grandparents last year and his brother did. I just think of nasty remarks to say. HELP!

Barium Enema
What is the test?
A barium enema is an x-ray test used to examine the lower digestive tract (the colon and rectum). Because the colon and rectum are normally not visible on x-rays, you need to temporarily coat their inner surfaces with barium, a liquid that does show up on x-rays. This makes the outline of these organs visible on the x-ray pictures. This test is useful for diagnosing cancers and diverticuli (small pouches that may form in the intestinal wall).
How do I prepare for the test?
Tell your doctor if there is any chance that you might be pregnant. If you have diabetes and take insulin, discuss this with your doctor before the test.

Fuel Bar and GrillMundelein Map
Find Parking
With the vintage motorcycle photos and license plates decking the walls here, it's pretty obvious where this bar gets its name. Expect a diverse crowd of younger and older northwest suburbanites coming in to take the stage for karaoke on Wednesdays or groove to DJ beats on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Often-changing drink specials are cheap enough to remind you of your college days, like $1.50 domestic drafts or $2 well drinks early in the week, and steals like $5 long islands or $6 pitchers on the weekends. The auto theme extends to the bar menu, with borderline-cheesy names such as "lube of the day" (that'd be soup), "filling station" burgers and high-octane wings.

VICTORIA — Major shifts in direction are being considered to ensure good drivers in British Columbia receive lower insurance rates, says the minister responsible for the province's public auto insurer.
David Eby said the government introduced an online survey Monday that poses questions about the public mood to realign coverage at the Insurance Corp. of British Columbia in order to offer major incentives for low-risk drivers by changing discount and penalty provisions.
The proposed changes are part of the government's plan to modernize the Crown corporation and restore its dismal finances, which Eby has described as a "dumpster fire." The provincial budget forecasts a $1.3-billion deficit at ICBC this year.
Eby said the government wants to hear from people in B.C. about the government's plans for change. The public consultation ends April 5.
Last month, he said the government will introduce legislation to change ICBC, including a $5,500 cap on claim payouts for minor pain and suffering.
"The question is, who is a bad driver and how much more should they pay," Eby said. "Is it someone who has two speeding tickets? It is someone who has at-fault accidents? Is it someone who has a single infraction with excessive speed?"
The survey asks for input on changing policies for at-fault crashes, discounts and penalties.
Under the proposed changes, one at-fault accident would be allowed without penalty after 20 years of safe driving, instead of the current 13 years. After an at-fault accident, it would also take drivers 10 years to return to their pre-accident discount rate status instead of the current three years.
The proposal includes increased driver penalties and risk points for excessive speeding offences.
"Car insurance rates in our province aren't fair," Eby says in a video on the government website. "Low-risk drivers with perfect records are paying more than they should. High-risk drivers who are driving up costs for everyone aren't paying enough. We want to fix this problem."
The government says the auto insurance rating system is 30 years old and has not been updated in 10 years.

Tom Raper Awards Winner in 'Ugly RV' Contest
August 26, 2014 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Tom Raper Awards Winner in 'Ugly RV' Contest
Tom Raper RVs General Manager Ed Unger presented a check for $1,000 today to James Thompson III of Richmond, Ind., as the owner of the winning recreational vehicle in the "Ugly RV" contest.
Thompson delivered the winning RV, a bright green 1983 Fleetwood Southwind motorhome which his family has named "The Pickle," to the Richmond dealership for the check presentation and photo session. In addition to it's unique color, the Class A motorhome features a residential air conditioner mounted to the side and a homemade wooden dashboard.
"We had a lot of fun sorting through the numerous entries that came in over the four month-long contest," said Unger. "I'd call most of the entries 'interesting' rather than 'ugly,' as each had a unique story connected to the photo."
"We picked up the motorhome as a project and it's been a lot of fun improvising on the repairs and updates," said Thompson. "The neighbors aren't crazy about the color and they seem to be glad when we're gone camping."
"The Pickle" will remain on display at the Tom Raper RVs throughout "Customer Appreciation Days" scheduled for Aug. 27-30.

January 28, 2014 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Tom Raper Launching Weather Site for Campers
Richmond, Ind.-based Tom Raper RVs announced today (Jan. 28) the launch of campersweather.com, a new website especially for campers and outdoor enthusiasts featuring weather forecasts, current conditions and weather alerts.
According to a press release, the website, Facebook page, Twitter and a soon to be released mobile app are all free and also include live weather radar, up-to-the-minute weather maps and weather related news. To view the site click here.
"The weather is the one thing that all campers keep their eye on before and during their camping trip", said Tom Raper RVs President Dave Bane. "We felt it important to provide this free service to all campers to help them in their planning and to make their outdoor experience safer and more enjoyable."
Bane added, "Campers don't always have access to traditional TV and radio or even electricity when outdoors, however, by using their smart phones, and other mobile devices, they can stay informed of the ever changing weather conditions and make plans accordingly."
Weather forecasts and severe weather tracking is managed by Brandon Redmond, a professional weather forecaster who founded IndianaWeatherOnline.com in 1999. Redmond contributes his weather expertise to numerous media outlets around the Midwest as well.

Tom Raper Partners in Teen Work/Study Program

Tom Raper RV's of Richmond, Ind., and the Richmond Area Career Center announced today the creation of a cooperative work/study program that provides practical work experiences for high school students.
According to a press release, the program format ensures that the students complete their high school diploma requirements while receiving career training by working alongside professionals in the repair, installation, body shop, sales and administration departments of Tom Raper RV's.

"We are delighted to welcome one of Richmond's finest community partners to this program which connects area companies with our students and provides valuable work-study opportunities in a variety of business types," said Rusty Hensley, director of career education at the Richmond Area Career Center. "The students are entering this program well prepared by our 21st Century Skills curriculum and I'm confident they'll be great representatives of our Career Center."
"I am very impressed with the maturity and readiness of our first two students," said Jennifer Hayes, service manager for Tom Raper RV's. "We are prepared to make this a very positive experience for the students and upon completion of the program hopefully have couple of candidates for full time employment."
Competition Heats Up in Central Ohio Market
August 23, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Competition Heats Up in Central Ohio Market
A battle for central Ohio's recreational vehicle dollars has begun, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
On one side is RCD Sales, an established local dealer with stores near Hebron and Pataskala. It's a family business run by twin brothers.
On the other side is Tom Raper RVs, an Indiana-based superstore that just opened a showroom in Madison County.
The battle will be fought with swivel entertainment centers, inner-spring quilted mattresses, foot-flush toilets and at least one inflatable monkey.
Both companies downplay the rivalry.
"Columbus is a big market," said Chuck Haire, co-owner of RCD. "There's room" for several competitors.
Like the auto industry, RV sellers have suffered through years of low sales and tight credit. Many of the retailers have shut down or scaled back. For example, the region's oldest outlet, Post Traveland on the north s ide, is relying more on parts and service and used-RV sales.
RCD and Tom Raper are two of the exceptions, among the few that have expanded. They both stock hundreds of RVs, from palatial motor homes that cost more than $300,000 to used tent campers that sell for as little as $2,000.
The RV industry considers people 55 to 64 years old its "sweet spot," and that group is projected to grow 15 percent between 2008 and 2013, a sign of better times to come for the industry, according to a July research note from Robert W. Baird & Co.
Because of this, leading manufacturers such as Thor Industries Inc. and Winnebago Industries Inc. are optimistic, although they are bruised by recent challenges. Thor, which includes the Airstream brand, is based in Jackson Center, Ohio.
The customers are people such as Sharon Mullinex of Dresden, who was browsing at RCD's Hebron store recently. She and her husband visit their children and grandchildren across the Midwest and vacation in Florida. They save on hotels because they've found that Wal-Mart stores and Flying J gas stations allow RVs to park overnight for free.
"When you travel, it's like your little home on the highway," she said.
Family business
The business that became RCD began in 1974 selling various types of used vehicles, but not RVs. Charles Haire, the father of the current owners, hoped for a fresh start in central Ohio after he had moved his family out of the Cleveland area. The name RCD was chosen almost at random; it was the initials of one of the people involved in the venture, Ronald Charles Davidson.
In 1983, the business began selling new travel trailers. By that time, Charles' identical twin sons, Chuck and Tom, were full partners. The RV part of the business took off, and RCD began selling larger towable trailers and even motor homes.
The company persevered because it was frugal, Chuck Haire said. The owners reinvested profits in inventory and reduced debt.
Today, a third generation does much of the day-to-day management. Chuck's son, Ryan, is at the Pataskala store, which opened last year. Tom's son, Brad, is at the Hebron store. The stores have more than 200 units in stock.
The business keeps them so busy that this RV family almost never goes camping, Chuck Haire said.
While RCD grew, many of its competitors came and went. One of the largest, Farber RV Superstore in Reynoldsburg, closed its showroom during the recent recession. The company chose to focus on its other product line: specialty vehicles for commercial use.
Several local car dealers opened RV lots, only to close them in the past few years. Examples are Ricart Automotive in Groveport and Bob Caldwell Automotive on the North Side.
Rhett Ricart, co-owner of Ricart Automotive, found that customers were willing to drive across the country to get a good price or the right features on an RV — much farther than they might drive to buy a car. This meant that dealers needed to have a gigantic inventory and the room to display it.
"You can't possibly stock enough units," he said.
Have monkey, will travel
In this nationwide market, a few superstores are willing to pay to offer customers a huge selection. Among them is Tom Raper RVs, which was started in eastern Indiana.
The namesake founded the business in 1964. He initially sold used cars, but then found he had a special talent for selling RVs, said Jim Leep, general manager of the central Ohio store near London.
"He built something from absolutely nothing," Leep said.
And he built it on a memorable name, one that ended up seemingly everywhere, particularly on billboards and the radio.
The founder sold the business to a group of investors in 2002, and he is retired in Florida. The new owners could have changed the name, but they found it was a valuable brand.
Today, there are three
Tom Raper stores in Richmond, Ind., in the Cincinnati area and now in central Ohio have a total inventory at the three of more than 500 RVs.
Many central Ohio customers were willing to drive to Richmond, off I-70 just across the state line, to shop, Leep said, but he hopes the new store will enable the company to get a larger share of local sales and parts and service.
The Madison County store opened early this summer. It doesn't have a permanent sign installed yet. The best way to spot the place is the giant inflatable monkey, put there to get the attention of drivers on I-70.
Like the monkey, some of the high-end motorhomes are a jarring sight, almost like spaceships on wheels. The Allegro brand features swivel captain's chairs up front and top-of-the-line furniture and cabinets in the back.
The tag line: "Absolute power delights, absolutely."
Low sales, tight credit
As RCD and Tom Raper have grown, the industry has shrunk. The nation has about 2,700 RV dealers, down about 180 from two years ago, according to the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA).
This is because of a decline in sales and reluctance by banks to maintain dealers' credit.
"When it comes down to it, RVs are a discretionary purchase," said Phil Ingrassia, spokesman for the association. "When people feel better about their job situation and feel better about the stock market, they invest in an RV."
There are early signs of a rebound. Through June, dealers had sold 92,227 units this year, up 3.2% percent from a year earlier, Statistical Surveys Inc. (SSI) reports.
The credit problems have been particularly troubling for smaller dealers such as Post Traveland, which has been around since 1956.
"Last year was as bad as you can imagine," said Wayne Post, the semi-retired owner.
His lender, Bank of America, raised the cost of credit to the point that it no longer made sense to borrow to pay for new inventory, he said. This was frustrating to Post because Bank of America and other lenders have gotten government aid, and he sees little reason for the restrictive lending terms.
Last year, he sold 59 new RVs, the fewest in company history. His company is still profitable, though, because of other profit centers, such as parts and service, sales of used RVs, RV rentals and propane sales.
Like his larger competitors, he has benefited from the closings of other dealers. He is now one of the only options for RV service in Franklin County.
Post is staying in business because he enjoys it. At heart, RVs are fun, he said.
That is a common sentiment among all the dealers interviewed, and one that makes the last few years a little more bearable.
Indiana University Hall Named in Tom Raper's Honor
August 27, 2009 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Indiana University Hall Named in Tom Raper's Honor
Indiana University East Chancellor Nasser Paydar announced today (Aug. 27) the naming of IU East's Middlefork Hall on the Richmond, Ind., campus in honor of former Richmond businessman Tom Raper.
The building will be renamed Tom Raper Hall in recognition of Raper's commitment of $2.17 million to support the campus. The gift is the largest in IU East's history, according to an IU release.
"This unprecedented commitment to Indiana University East builds on Tom Raper's longstanding dedication to advancing the mission of this campus," Paydar said. "His exceptional generosity will enable IU East to provide even higher levels of knowledge, economic development, and culture to the residents in this part of the state."
Paydar said that IU East will use the funds in a variety of ways to strengthen its leadership role as the region's bachelor's and master's institution.
"We are experiencing record enrollment and planning for more growth," Paydar said. "With this comes the need for capital improvements, expansion of academic programs, and enhanced student life opportunities. Tom Raper is impacting all of these areas, and as a result, is advancing the overall excellence of IU East. Individual students and communities across our region will benefit for generations to come."
The announcement follows IU East's Celebration of Campus and Community event earlier this summer, which replaced a traditional chancellor installation ceremony. Paydar decided to forgo an installation to use the funds for campus enhancements instead.
Raper said there is no better investment than one's education.
"Suzanne and I believe in the power of people investing in themselves and their future through education," Raper said. "This gift to IU East is special for us because it is an opportunity to say 'thank you' to the Richmond community. With IU East's new mission and overall growth, we are confident that graduates will provide strong leadership to the Richmond area."
In 1991, he established the Tom Raper Scholarship to benefit hardworking, deserving students who are committed to building their success in east central Indiana. More than 90 scholarships have been awarded from the endowment in the past 15 years.
Raper brought national recognition to Richmond by building the nation's largest recreational vehicle dealership, Tom Raper RVs. From humble beginnings with a used car lot of fewer than 10 cars in 1964, Raper grew the business into a 60-acre complex in Richmond with 275 employees and a worldwide customer base. In 2002, he sold the business, which still bears his name.

In dissolutions, especially highly contested ones, it is often a mental and emotional struggle for the divorcing party to disclose all property, so that it may be divided and parceled into smaller bits for transfer and consumption to the other party as they see fit.
It is a bitter pill to swallow for many. For some, it is too much, too soon. Some clients live in alternate legal universes, where each divorcing spouse keeps the income they made ... because they made it. Similarly, the debt goes to the spouse who incurred it. It's just common sense, they assert.
Alternatively, they will understand the principle of community property, and accept a 50/50 division, but only for certain assets, e.g., yes for small cash accounts, but retirement is not included (unless the accounts are large and retirement small, then vice versa).
Then there are clients with severely impaired memory when it comes to recalling assets. Ironically, many have no such difficulty reciting their spouse's assets in excruciating detail. For these reasons, and numerous others, some clients fail to disclose all their assets.
Case law explicitly provides that at the time of dissolution all property is brought before the court for a "just and equitable distribution."1 It does not matter if the parties have settled amicably and agree that disclosing most assets is enough. A court cannot determine a "just and equitable" distribution without full disclosure of all the property.
If the property rights of the parties are not brought before the court in some appropriate manner, such rights are not, and cannot, be affected by the decree.2 There must be sufficient specificity in decrees of dissolution to identify the assets and their disposition; the requisite specificity is not present if an asset is not even mentioned.3
A decree entered without full disclosure is subject to an action to vacate. Community property not awarded in the decree due to fraud, "misrepresentation or other misconduct" may be recovered by a CR 60(b)(4) action to vacate the decree.4 All this presents troubling ethical issues for attorneys dealing with a client's mental/psychological "asset block."
The Rules of Professional Conduct, however, are explicit; in particular, RCP 3.3, Candor Toward the Tribunal. RPC 3.3(a)(1) and (a)(2) state that a lawyer "shall not knowingly make a false statement of fact to a tribunal or fail to correct a false statement of material fact previously made, nor knowingly fail to disclose a material fact to a tribunal when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by the client unless prohibited by Rule 1.6." Note in the context of RPC 3.3, the permissive disclosure exceptions to RPC 1.6 become mandatory.

Among the many reasons why the South of France remains one of the world's premier tourist destinations is its unique geography. Sandwiched between the dramatic peaks of the Southern Alps and the gentle sweep of the Mediterranean littoral, Provence and the French Riviera offer the best of both worlds: snow and sun. No time of year is better for enjoying that balance than the spring, when the fresh powder on the Alps makes for world-class skiing and the warm sun of the coast helps cut the winter's chill.
Plan your trip to Provence for the springtime and you can enjoy unique recreation, world-famous events and a mix of weather that has something for everyone!
The Southern Alps: A Paradise for Skiers
The South of France may be famous for its sunny beaches and turquoise seawater, but up above the coastline lies a wholly different attraction: the craggy slopes of the Southern Alps. The massive mountain range spans eight countries and draws over 120 million visitors annually, many of them to famed resorts along the French-Italian border, such as Chamonix. More affordable and less tourist-mobbed, the ski resorts of the Southern Alps are a good option for any slope-hunting traveler!
Take advantage of end-of-season snowfall at these ski slopes in the Southern Alps:
- La Colmiane: Situated due north of Nice just a few kilometers from the Italian border, this valley-bound town's ski season goes on until March 28.
- Valberg-Beuil: This ski destination can be found in the Mercantour National Park, with the ski season lasting until April 2.
- Isola 2000: Perfect for visitors looking to take advantage of the European Union's open borders, this resort is just a few miles from the Italian border with France. It's also a great option for last-minute vacations, as the ski season lasts until April 17.
- Auron: Less isolated than some alternatives, the Auron ski resort is near the town of Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée. Their ski season also closes on April 17.
- Les Orres: Located just outside of the Ecrins National Park and uphill from the beautiful Serre-Ponçon Lake, this resort remains open to skiers until mid-April.
Instead of staying at a resort with nosebleed-inducing prices for everyday essentials, consider one of our unique South of France vacation rentals. You might even find a last-minute travel deal to save on your trip! Located approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) northwest of the ski slopes mentioned above, our 2 Bedroom Chalet in La Bâtie Neuve is the perfect place to get warm for your après-ski! A full kitchen, internet access, and sleeping space for 4 make the cabin a comfortable home-away-from-home nestled into the mountainside.
Winter Activities for Non-Skiers
Thankfully, visitors to the Alps don't have to spend their whole time out in the cold – there are plenty of other great experiences in the region during the late winter and spring!
Even if you're not a skier or snowboarder, you can enjoy the unique alpine environment with a glacier hike in the Ecrins National Park. Or, for the less physically ambitious among us, the mountains can be appreciated aesthetically with a tourist flight or helitour of the area. Staying near Gap, you can head to the local Tallard Airport for one of these spectacular scenic tours above the landscape.
There are also the classic destinations of the Mediterranean Coast, where bustling cities like Marseille and Nice provide ample opportunities for tourists. Some of the region's most famous dishes are especially well-adapted for winter, from bouillabaisse, a fish stew evoking the bustling port of Marseille, to comforting ratatouille from the Italian border region. One of the most phenomenal natural attractions of the coastline is just as beautiful (and less tourist-filled) in the winter – the Calanques National Park that stretches from Marseille to Cassis!
Plan Your Stay around a New York Habitat Vacation Rental
One corner of the South of France that's particularly well adapted for combining snow and skis with sand and sun is Villeneuve-Loubet, a historic town just south of Nice's airport. As shown above, the picturesque Mercantour-Argentera Mountain Range towers over this former fishing village.
Echoing the mountain peaks that back it as well as the white sails of the ships that traverse the Côte d'Azur, one unique development dominates the resort town: the Marina Baie des Anges. This 1 Bedroom Apartment is located in one of the four modernist buildings, Le Baronnet, and benefits from the development's state-of-the-art thalassotherapy center and a private marina.
A few miles down the coast, between Antibes and Cannes, this unique studio-style vacation rental is a part of the owner's property and has access to their private pool. A full kitchen and modern conveniences (flat screen television, air conditioning) make the accommodation great for a romantic South of France trip or a last-minute vacation. The rental is also in a prime location if you're planning a stay that coincides with one of the French Riviera's seasonal events!
Springtime events
Thanks to its balmy weather, beautiful scenery and unparalleled tourist infrastructure, the South of France is home to many famous international events and conferences, as well as historically important regional celebrations.
The Feria d'Arles maintains a tradition at the same time beloved and controversial in France: bullfighting. Though their trade differs slightly from the more famous Spanish variety, Arles's bull fighters kick off the summer season with an Easter-timed celebration, organized by the municipality since 1965.
Perhaps the most famous event in the region during spring, if not the whole year, is the Festival de Cannes, considered the world's most prestigious film festival. Held in mid-May each year (May 11-22 in 2016), the event draws A-listers from both sides of the Atlantic and previews films and documentaries for the year to come. Only one film leaves with the coveted Palm d'Or, making the event a high-stakes competition.
Another internationally renowned event is held at the other end of the Côte d'Azur in the minuscule Principality of Monaco. This is, of course, the Grand Prix, Formula 1 racing's most important contest and one of the three that form the Triple Crown of Motorsport. The racecourse winds through the narrow streets of the 0.78mi2 (2.02km2) microstate, making spectating all the more thrilling!
Summer in the South of France brings even more excitement, with culture events like the international Fête de la Musique (held on the June solstice), the theater-focused Festival d'Avignon (starting on July 4) and the operatic Festival d'Aix en Provence (starting on June 30 this year).
With all these amazing events to choose from, you'll want to get a vacation rental booked as soon as possible! And with so much culture and scenery available year-round, you might want to consider a longer stay with one of our furnished rentals.


text: Anybody use and/or own this model? It's obviously sold on Amazon, saw it on Sears and another site as well. Gets good reviews, but it's only on 3 reviews total, although all are verified purchases and so unlikely to just be company plants. Is this just a rebrand of another similar model from another company like Taylor or CDN?

I wish I had something awe inspiring to share today, but after a weekend of NaNo abandon... all circuits are fried. Instead, I'd like to share this list I came across on Pinterest that I found rather insightful. I'm sure most writers do half of these things anyway without even thinking about it. I commonly do #8, #11, and #30. The ones I really need to do are #6 & #29. How does this list fit into your creative life?
Thoughts? Opinions? I'd love to hear them!

Cong and the Quiet Man
We've holed up in Cong for a couple of days. It was one of the main locations for filming the 1952 film 'The Quiet Man', starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. You can watch it in one of several locations around the village on a daily basis should you wish. As is the way with many tourist locations, the pubs… Read more »
