World's most spoiled dogs get $3 million trust fund from deceased heiress, son gets $1 million World's most spoiled dogs get $3 million trust fund son ticked off
Conchita, a pet chihuahua, and two other pooches were left a $3 million trust fund and Miami Beach mansion by their recently deceased owner, heiress Gail Posner.
In the past, Posner, the daughter of infamous businessman Victor Posner, lavished the pampered dog with a gold Cadillac Escalade, a diamond Cartier necklace and weekly spa visits.
But Posner's only son, who received a measly $1 million, is fighting back, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Brett Carr is disputing the will in court by suing his mother's personal aides, who he claims took advantage of his ailing mother in her final days, getting her to substantially alter her last wishes.
As part of her will, members of her entourage, which includes bodyguards and housekeepers, were left a lump total of $26 million.
And a housekeeper/personal assistant will be allowed to live, rent free, in the $8.3 million mansion as long as she continues pampering the spoiled pooches.

Keith Morgan
Keith Morgan has undertaken a wide array of assignments during his 21
years with The Province.
The 48 year old newspaper veteran began as a general assignment reporter but took up residence on the police beat during the 1980s, where he took a particular interest in traffic policing.
Morgan's innovative coverage led to the creation of Canada's first commuter column, Getting There,rolex oyster perpetual datejust imitation, which morphed into a fully fledged motoring and commuting section. His enthusiasm for traffic safety initiatives led to the creation of the highly successful Province Road Test video series,imitation rolex datejust watch, which was written and co produced by Morgan and shown on prime time TV.
His traffic expertise also made him a regular on radio talk shows and put him in demand as a conference speaker. For almost two years he hosted a talk radio version of Getting There on Vancouver radio station AM1040 and voiced a daily traffic feature for radio.
He took on the responsibility as the first editor of the Sunday Homes section and became involved in community based projects. In the late 1990s he launched Your Neighbours, a weekly column about British Columbians making a difference in the lives of people at home and abroad. Morgan roamed the globe to visit BCers performing good works and the subsequent articles raised thousands of dollars for those worthy causes.
Morgan has been active for the past five years as a United Way campaign organizer here at the Pacific Newspaper Group and is a key figure behind The Province Empty Stocking Fund.
But at The Province he's back In Traffic with his new twice weekly column about commuter concerns. Read him on Mondays and Fridays,imitation oyster perpetual datejust rolex.{ displayName }

Islam leader Geert Wilders cancels events due to security leak
AMSTERDAM Dutch anti Islam politician Geert Wilders, who is leading polls ahead of next month's election, said on Wednesday he had canceled all public campaign events after an agent involved in his security team was suspended.
The secret service said on Tuesday an agent of a Moroccan background had been suspended on suspicion of leaking details to a criminal organization.
On Wednesday, newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reported that the man's brother, also a police officer, had leaked information about murder inquiries and had been accused of rape and been dismissed. Police were not immediately available for comment.
There is no suggestion the cases had anything to do with Wilders or his team,fake oyster perpetual rolex datejust.
Secret service chief Erik Akerboom said on Tuesday that neither Wilders nor any of the other people the team protects, including the Dutch royal family, had ever been in danger as a result of the leaks.
Wilders, who promises to close mosques and crack down on "Moroccan scum", said he would await the conclusions of the investigation into the corruption allegations before appearing in public again.
"My god, I had no idea," tweeted Wilders, who has been living under 24 hour protection since the 2004 murder by an Islamist militant of film maker and Islam critic Theo van Gogh. "How much more is there I don't know."
The protection officer had been responsible for scouting out locations that protected politicians were due to visit,oyster perpetual datejust imitation. The officer has been was granted provisional release pending trial.
Wilders' party leads in opinion polls for the March 15 vote with 17 percent, a whisker ahead of the pro business Liberals of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who has closed the gap by matching some of Wilders' anti immigration rhetoric and received a boost from a surging economy.
Wilders rarely appears in public, but makes occasional exceptions for campaigning events,fake gold rolex oyster perpetual datejust, such as touring a farmers' market near Rotterdam on Saturday.
His campaign details are available on his website and he had been scheduled to appear on Saturday in the fishing village of Volendam,rolex datejust imitation, a stronghold of his Party For Freedom.

Leafs get rare road win vs
On a day of distractions, the Maple Leafs finally concentrated on what counted.
Ending a 16 game road winlees streak, with an improbable 3 2 win over the Florida Panthers, who went through two goalies, nearly brought a third out of retirement and had no one in net the frantic final minute with six skaters trying to force overtime.
Long before the puck even dropped, Phil Kessel had taken a veiled shot at management during a rant about the media in defence of Dion Phaneuf, while captain Phaneuf had joined his wife Elisha Cuthbert and teammate Joffrey Lupul in threatening legal action against TSN for an offensive trade deadline day tweet.
General manager Dave Nonis addressed the team about having some pride in the final 19 regular season games,rolex datejust oyster perpetual imitation, having moved six players out the past couple of weeks, while lesser known newcomers were being plugged into the lineup.
Team president Brendan Shanahan was completing a letter to season ticket holders, freezing prices and promising a better future,rolex perpetual oyster datejust imitation, then he stepped up for Lupul and Phaneuf in a statement to support our players at this time. is a lot of distraction, interim coach Peter Horachek said. guys should feel good about responding. was working with a patchwork lineup,imitation 1986 rolex oyster perpetual datejust, new defenceman Tim Erixon and forward Joakim Lindstrom and no doubt wondering how Kessel and Phaneuf would perform after Kessel speech. Kessel was on for a goal against, in the penalty box for another, but assisted on a Tyler Bozak goal that opened the scoring.
means a lot that Phil said that, Phaneuf stated after the game, having held off commenting in the morning. have a lot of respect for the way Phil deals with everything. And now we moved forward. to his comment vow of silence on all things personal, Lupul talked about the relief that the trade deadline had passed to ease tensions on the team. And that he felt bad both Roberto Luongo and Al Montoya were hurt in the course of the evening. Luongo took a Leo Komarov drive off the side of his head and didn come out for the second period, while Montoya hurt his groin when Nazem Kadri was shoved into him on the tying goal.
After a long delay, in which the Panthers received permission from the league to dress 41 year old Robb Tallas as a backup, Montoya limped back out. But he was unable to come out to field pucks, corral rebounds or push off across the crease, which meant Peter Holland had an easy rebound in for the winner. There was another delay as the Panthers stalled for time to get Luongo back in uniform.
not great for their playoff chances, but we take a win any way we can get it, Lupul said. want to win games. In some peoples eyes, it a race to the bottom, but it certainly not the case for the players.
was good for our new guys to get the win. It not easy coming to a new team, travelling across the country. a moment, it looked like Phaneuf had scored the Leafs second period goal to bookend the last goal Toronto managed when he struck on the power play against the Flyers three games ago. But the rebound strike was credited to Bozak as he, Phaneuf and James van Riemsdyk all converged on the puck. All three goals saw Leafs going to the net, which Horachek was sick of preaching.
guys got hungry, knowing it was in our hands,imitation rolex datejust oyster perpetual, Horachek said. said going into the third period (down 2 1) we needed more of a 5 on 5 game. Ekblad scored his 11th for the Panthers to break Ed Jovanovski rookie record for a defenceman. Fellow youngsters Jonathan Huberdeau and Jimmy Hayes earned assists. The Leafs almost made it through the first period keeping the Panthers off the board. But with 18 seconds to play, the most defensively challenged line on the team, Kessel, van Riemsdyk and Bozak got crossed up after a Roman Polak giveaway. Brandon Pirri had prime shooting position and beat Bernier five hole.

'Little Dancer' Musical Imagines The Story Behind Degas' Mysterious Muse
The National Gallery of Art is showing Edgar Degas' statue Little Dancer Aged Fourteen in conjunction with the Kennedy Center's Oct. 25 opening of Little Dancer, a new show inspired by the sculpture.
Ballet students Brittany Yevoli and Ava Durant, both 14, see themselves in Degas' statue. Looking at her, they stand as she does fourth position, weight on the left leg, right leg forward, foot turned out to the right. They recognize her tutu, her shoes and her perfect posture.
They also notice the young girl's hands, clasped firmly behind her back. "Maybe showing respect," Durant says, "but also just sort of the way that we're supposed to stand in class."
Little Dancer is charming, even entrancing, yet the French had a less flattering nickname for the Paris Opera Ballet corps. "They called the students rats," curator Alison Luchs says. "They were little; they were thin; they scampered; they came in from the streets."
Degas' Disappearing Muse
Degas made many sculptures, but Little Dancer is the only one he ever exhibited, and he worked on it for years. He made dozens of drawings before he began to sculpt with clay and beeswax, shaping and reshaping this National Gallery original. X rays show he stabilized the 39 inch figure with lead pipe wrapped in rope,rolex oyster perpetual datejust for sale fake, and used wire for her arms.
"And to make them stiffer and firmer, he actually put in old paint brushes," Sturman says. To tilt her head, he put a spring coil maybe from a chair or mattress inside her neck. And then, he dressed her. It was totally unconventional: He gave her a real cotton bodice, waxed so it looks bronzy; a real tutu; a real silk ribbon tied around a braid made of real, blond human hair; and real linen slippers pink and also waxed.
How did critics react in 1881? "A lot of them thought it was awful," Sturman says. "They were stunned by the realism. They were used to seeing sculptures of women in marble and bronze."
They were also used to seeing goddesses, not a flat chested, skinny, coltish adolescent like Marie Van Goethem, the ballerina who posed for the sculpture.
"[Her name is] written on a Degas drawing," Sturman says. "[Her] parents came from Belgium. The father was a tailor; the mother was a laundress."
Marie started modeling for Degas around 1878. Curator Alison Luchs says her dance career ended four years later. "She was dismissed from the ballet. The implication is that she was missing rehearsals or getting something wrong. And she disappears,fake datejust rolex. We don't know what became of her."
The new musical Little Dancer imagines Marie's life.
A Talented Street Urchin
Lynn Ahrens, who wrote the book and lyrics for the musical, says she got the idea for Little Dancer when she saw a bronze replica of the statue at the Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts. Curious about the story behind it, Ahrens did some research on Degas and Marie.
"I began to see a story emerging about an artist who was beginning to go blind, who was frightened that he was losing his power to paint," she says. "And into his life, somehow, walks a little girl who inspires him, in some way, because she is such an urchin, such a spirit and a stubborn soul, and he begins to sketch her and suddenly decides that he wants to sculpt."
Ahrens and her collaborator, composer Stephen Flaherty, have created a musical that's both historically informed and highly speculative. In a Manhattan rehearsal studio,rolex oyster perpetual datejust womens fake, many of Degas' most famous paintings and sketches are taped to the wall ballerinas slumping in exhaustion, rich men in black hats checking out the girls, absinthe drinkers. Director and choreographer Susan Stroman has put them all onstage, but says the heart of Little Dancer is the story of a prickly artist finding his equally prickly young muse in one of those ballet rats.
"You want to believe that she had language," Stroman says, "and she, you know, was like an Artful Dodger almost. And so that's what we have created, in essence."
New York City Ballet star Tiler Peck plays young Marie as a street urchin a very talented street urchin, but one who has no qualms picking people's pockets, including Monsieur Degas', to get money for pointe shoes.
"What I see her as is just like a survivor," Peck says. "She does anything to make her ends meet. You know, there's no hope for her at home. She goes home and her mom's drunk all the time, her mom's asking her for her money. And I feel like the ballet is the one sort of happy hope that she has in her life."
She's caught between many things,fake oyster perpetual datejust rolex, says composer Stephen Flaherty. "She's not a child; she's not an adult. She's sort of in between, in the cracks, and that's one of the things we really wanted to capture." It's that "in between ness" that attracts Degas.
While the musical comes up with the reason Marie is dismissed from the Paris Opera, it doesn't exactly say what happened to her afterward. There's a dream ballet, which offers a variety of possible paths, and the character of older Marie quite literally haunts the show.
"By having an adult Marie and a young Marie, we're saying that she survived," director Susan Stroman says. "And that's a good thing. And that's what we would hope for."

"And into his life, somehow, walks a little girl who inspires him, in some way, because she is such an urchin, such a spirit and a stubborn soul, and he begins to sketch her and suddenly decides that he wants to sculpt."
Ahrens and her collaborator, composer Stephen Flaherty, have created a musical that's both historically informed and highly speculative. In a Manhattan rehearsal studio,rolex oyster perpetual datejust womens fake, many of Degas' most famous paintings and sketches are taped to the wall ballerinas slumping in exhaustion, rich men in black hats checking out the girls, absinthe drinkers. Director and choreographer Susan Stroman has put them all onstage, but says the heart of Little Dancer is the story of a prickly artist finding his equally prickly young muse in one of those ballet rats.
"You want to believe that she had language," Stroman says, "and she, you know, was like an Artful Dodger almost. And so that's what we have created, in essence."
New York City Ballet star Tiler Peck plays young Marie as a street urchin a very talented street urchin, but one who has no qualms picking people's pockets, including Monsieur Degas', to get money for pointe shoes.
"What I see her as is just like a survivor," Peck says. "She does anything to make her ends meet. You know, there's no hope for her at home. She goes home and her mom's drunk all the time, her mom's asking her for her money. And I feel like the ballet is the one sort of happy hope that she has in her life."
She's caught between many things,fake oyster perpetual datejust rolex, says composer Stephen Flaherty. "She's not a child; she's not an adult. She's sort of in between, in the cracks, and that's one of the things we really wanted to capture." It's that "in between ness" that attracts Degas.
While the musical comes up with the reason Marie is dismissed from the Paris Opera, it doesn't exactly say what happened to her afterward. There's a dream ballet, which offers a variety of possible paths, and the character of older Marie quite literally haunts the show.
"By having an adult Marie and a young Marie, we're saying that she survived," director Susan Stroman says. "And that's a good thing. And that's what we would hope for."

Make Money In The Strangest Ways
The old couple mentioned above can recognize the sparkle of a diamond amidst pieces of glass, from a hundred feet away! Parking lots are where most diamonds pop out of there settings, due to the temperature changes when people get out of their cars. Wandering mall parking lots has become their second retirement income. Treasure hunting obviously goes beyond the common conception.
A man in California took the shag carpet from a large theater being remodeled, saving the owners the cost of disposal. During the thirties the theater was a place where the wealthy went, and the wealthy, like all of us, lose things, but more valuable things perhaps. When the man cut up and carefully shook out the old carpet, it was found to contain over $2,000 worth of precious stones,imitation submariner rolex, rings,rolex submariner vintage fake, and rare coins.
At a campfire near a desert hot spring one winter, my wife and I met a man who sells stuffed animals on the side of the highway. When we saw him again, in his van full of stuffed animals, I pressed him for details. He buys used stuffed animals at thrift stores in bulk and then sells them alongside the highway. Early on, he even got the stores to give him the animals, with the agreement that he would return with the money or the animals the next week.
In some small towns he can get a vendor's permit cheaply ($18/year, for example). Otherwise he just sells until they chase him out of the county. He says he hasn't been fined yet, and he claims he sold $4,000 worth his first month. I think he was exagerating, but because of him we include used stuffed animals in our flea market stands with some success.
I worked at a casino for years and I saw a lot of people foolishly writing down the numbers that came up on the roulette wheel. Foolishly, I say,fake ladies submariner rolex, because their their theories were nonsense. Casinos will always welcome these players and even hand them the pen and paper.
One player, however, was actually scientific about it. By finding a bias in the wheel, after "charting" it for 5,000 spins, he made thousands betting on just one or two numbers. When a number comes up, it pays 35 to 1. One of the numbers, because of manufacturing imperfections or whatever reason, was coming up 1 in 27 spins, instead of the average 1 in 38 spins.
He bet $10 a spin, and he profited $80 for every 27 spins of the wheel in the long run. That's about $100 per hour. The ups and downs were dramatic though, so this is not for the faint hearted. I saw this player lose as much as $700 in a night, but he later confided that he profitted over $80,000 before the casino changed the wheel.
Making money with real estate isn't unusual,imitation ladies rolex submariner, of course, but there are less common ways to do it. There was a man, for example, who went around optioning hilltops. If the owner wanted $30,000 for the land, this invester might offer $300 for an option to buy the property at full price ($30,000) within six months. The sellers liked the idea of getting full price, or just keeping the $300.
Next, he contacted radio stations, police departments, and cell phone companies that might need a hill to put a radio tower on. It is common practice to lease the properties on ten year or longer leases, for tax reasons. Once the investor got a lease signed, it was relatively simple to get a bank to lend the money for the purchase.
He might have payments of $200 per month until the loan is paid. The radio station puts up the tower, and rents the hilltop for $350 per month. Total risk? If he doesn't find an interested party, he walks away, losing the $300 option fee. He succeeded often enough to afford a few losses.
More Strange Ways To Make Money
You can, of course have a strange job as a way to make money. I wouldn't want to be an "Odor Judger," who gets to smell armpits all day to help make deodorants that work. Being a "Chicken Sexer," isn't as bad as it sounds, however. This jobs just involves sorting through baby chicks to determine if they are male or female. Now, being a recliner tester for the Lazy Boy Company that sounds like a great job.
