Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The dryer did not work but otherwise it worked out very well for our group. We loved the open area behind the property.
This rental is perfect for a weekend away! I recently stayed here with a large group (12 adults) and we had the greatest time. It had tons of space with plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable all weekend. The place is not only modern and appealing to the eye, but it is spotless! I agree with comments below that the pictures barely do it justice. We loved that there were plenty of beds for everyone, ample bathrooms for a large group, and a wonderful kitchen to cook in. The basement is an added bonus and a great place for games, and just as an extra space to hang out. The condo is within minutes to the ski slopes, making it very convenient for a ski weekend. We had an amazing time and are already looking forward to our return next year!
My husband and I have stayed in this unit several times and always enjoy our stay in this clean and cozy townhome. The location is very close to the slopes and the shuttle makes getting to and from Bellaire and Summit easy. Although we love staying inside by the warm fire, there's a lot to do outside at Shanty Creek any time of the year. This visit we primarily skied at Schuss and enjoyed the weekend entertainment at Ivan's. The snow was great. We also stopped by a brand new bar at the Summit called the "Shanty". Although they don't serve food (except chili), the place has a great atmosphere. The owners are also opening up italian restaurant in the same plaza, which they hope will be ready in February. It was a great, relaxing vacation. Thanks again!

And would you guess this elegant table used mason jars as the vases? Yes, each of those beautiful metallic vases was actually an easy DIY Mason Jar Wrap that I created. Just proof that mason jars don't only have to be wrapped in burlap. (See picture and instructions below.) I'm so in love with this table and it really set the tone for a wonderful night for our mom-to-be and guests. So fun. I hope you enjoy the pictures, I think they are "pin" worthy, if I do say so myself! And a special thank you to my friend Jenn for hosting the shower!

text: Overall, motorcycle thefts were down last year by 6%. However, warmer states like California actually saw an increase. With more people going out riding in those warmer states, there's more of a chance for their motorcycles to get stolen. It also happened that California had only about half the normal rainfall last year. That meant more opportunities to take their motorcycles out instead of other vehicles. Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki were the top three makes stolen, so if you own one of those kinds, beware. Susanna Pak discusses the matter in her article, "U.S. Motorcycle Thefts Decline Even as California Gains."

TRAVERSE CITY — Harvey Fehrenbach, of Traverse City and Fort Myers, Fla., passed away Monday Nov. 5, 2012, at his winter home in Ft. Myers, Fla.
Born in Royal Oak, Harvey spent his school years in Traverse City and was a proud member of the U.S. Marine Corps during the end of the Korean War.
After short stints in Rockford and Acme he moved his growing family to the Spider Lake area of Traverse City. With his wife Fran and son Michael, he spent six years in Texas and returned to Michigan, residing in Grand Rapids before his last few years in Traverse City and Ft. Meyers, Fla.
Harvey will be remembered for his love and dedication to his family, his great sense of humor, his work ethic, the houses he built and the many hundreds of houses he drywalled.
He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Frances; children, Shelley (Tom) Waldo and Brian (Jen Weber) Fehrenbach, of Lake Ann, Patricia (Bill) Darrow and Renee Gines, of Grawn, Kimberly Fehrenbach-Root, of Greenville, and Michael, of Traverse City; stepchildren, Joan Ferguson, of Las Cruces, N.M., Amy (Scott Matteson) Ferguson, of Kalamazoo, James (Angela) Ferguson, of Madison, Wis., and John M. (Gabriella) Ferguson, of Louisville, Ky.; and 11 grandchildren. Also surviving are his brother, James (Joyce) Fehrenbach; sister-in-law, Dorothy Fehrenbach; nieces and nephews; and the mother of five of his children, Jan Riolo.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Alice Fehrenbach; his brother, Willard; and his nephew, David Fehrenbach.
The family invites friends and relatives to celebrate Harvey's life on Saturday, Nov. 24, from 2 to 6 p.m., at Peegeo's, 525 High Lake Road, Traverse City.

I would have this gala and line-up of stars twice:
1. At the site of the latest Winter Olympics (Vancouver) soon after the next Worlds (meaning, I hope, April/May timeframe). Jkl, hopefully Southwest flies to Vancouver!
2. In Tokyo, in the fall, or even winter, once the situation stabilizes. The idea is to get Janet, Rodnina, Tara, Ilya, Johnny et al to Japan, where they are so beloved. This could be a huge success and money-maker to rebuild Japan which will still need help next winter. This is long-term development.
Dick Button Historical Quote of the Month: "Good for you, Lucinda Ruh!"
Certainly not Lysacek! I'd assume Japanese people suffered enough already!
I vote for the southeast......and all of the skaters, esp. the German pairs team and Kulik and Lambriel.
Happy Skating!
Here's the event thread that's started in GSD : "Skaters Care: A Benefit for Japan Tsunami Relief" April 3rd in Ontario, California
Well, you HAVE to have as many Olympic champions as you can muster!
Plushenko and Kulik for sure (both beloved in Japan) but I notice a lack of Yagudin in this thread! His autobiography was first released in Japan, they love him!
Maybe they should do a sort of world tour?
World team member Richard Dornbush trains in Riverside, Calif. He would be a great choice!!

The first half of the season is over, and if West Virginia fans were prone to motion sickness, they likely had to pull out the leftover bags from their last airplane trip.
There were plenty of highs — especially the 30-21 win over No. 11 Oklahoma State the last time the Mountaineers took to the turf at Milan Puskar Stadium — and some extreme lows — like the 37-0 loss at Maryland and the 73-42 loss at Baylor.
The formula for the first half stayed the same — win one, lose one, win one, lose one. WVU alternated victories and losses, winning every game at home and losing every game on the road.
The first half came to a close with the Mountaineers holding a 3-3 overall record and a 1-2 Big 12 mark.
The second half, following a bye week, begins today, when WVU hosts No. 16 Texas Tech (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) for a homecoming matchup scheduled for a noon kickoff. Fox Sports 1 will carry the action live.
It will be the third straight ranked team the Mountaineers will face and the fourth straight undefeated opponent.
"We started talking about that back in January," said first-year defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. "It's the Big 12. You beat Oklahoma State, then you have an undefeated team waiting on you. It's no different now. We have another undefeated team. Texas Tech is a top 15 team in the country.
"People forget that these games are now five hours long. There is a lot of mental stress that goes into each and every game. You have to be able to handle it. The mental part of it is probably just as taxing as the physical part of it."
There's plenty of motivation for the Mountaineers. Coming off an embarrassing performance the last time out against No. 17 Baylor, WVU is looking to prove that the team that beat OSU is more indicative of this year's group than the one that wasn't competitive in Waco, Texas.
"It's actually good," said sophomore linebacker Isaiah Bruce of facing another difficult challenge. "It gives us a chance to bring them down a level.
"It definitely makes us step up our game — going against an undefeated team. It just makes us want to play even harder."
There's also the memory of the 2012 meeting between the two teams. A 5-0 WVU squad made the trip to Lubbock, Texas, ranked among the top 5 teams in the nation. The Mountaineers left at 5-1 after a 49-14 setback, and the loss set off a string of five straight losses that turned a dream season into a nightmare.
"We will definitely be playing with a chip on our shoulders after last season," said senior offensive lineman Pat Eger. "We need to worry about playing West Virginia football. At the end of the day, if we go out there and play for four quarters with great effort, great energy and Mountaineer football, we have a great opportunity to win."
Texas Tech and first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury have been impressive, scoring 40 or more points in four of six games and throwing for more than 400 yards per contest. Today's game, though, will be the first real road test. The Red Raiders opened up the season at SMU and played its only conference road game in front of a small crowd at Kansas.
But the atmosphere that Kingsbury and freshman quarterback Davis Webb will experience today will be something new.
"I think our kids are more excited more than anything," said Kingsbury, who got his first college coaching job at Houston under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, now the head coach at WVU. "Most of them have never been to West Virginia in their lives. They say the stadium is unbelievable. The fans are unbelievable, so it will be a great atmosphere for all of us to experience."

BY RICK PFEIFFER and Carlene Peterson
Veteran domestic violence investigator Ed Janese was putting the finishing touches on the paperwork for an arrest warrant on Thursday afternoon.
The Falls Police detective was preparing to charge a suspect with second-degree assault, second-degree menacing and third-degree criminal mischief.
"Two felonies and a misdemeanor," Janese said shaking his head.
But unlike the vast majority of the cases he investigates, this time, the suspect in Janese's cross-hairs was a woman.
"She pulled a knife on him (the male victim), hit him with a stick and used a baseball bat to smash the windshield of his car," the detective said. "All this as he was trying to get away from her."
Statistically, it is a small percentage of the cases that detectives, specializing in domestic violence cases, handle. Only about 3 percent of domestic abuse cases, nationwide, involve male victims.
Still, Janese says whether the victims are men or women, what is done to them has to be addressed.
"Domestic abuse is a learned pattern of controlling behavior and women can control men just like men control women," Janese said. "(The abuse) is not always physical (violence), it's the control. We hear about the physical part, but it's the controlling part that (begins the abuse). Violence is usually the last part of it."
Janese estimates that in the Falls, males make up perhaps 10 percent of domestic violence victims. However, he also said that number may be "inflated" by the method Cataract City cops use to compile their statistics.
"If the victim is a 10-year-old boy, for example, he's listed as a male victim," Janese said, "and that's really not what we're taking about here."
For adult male domestic abuse victims, Janese estimates the number of cases in the Falls each year is closer to the national percentage Though, as is the case with women victims, the veteran detective believes the cases of male abuse victims are far higher than the number actually reported.
"Only 20 percent of suspected domestic abuse cases involving women are reported, so I would think the percentages are about the same for male victims," Janese said.
Another reason why there may be far more male victims of domestic abuse than are reported could be the social stigma attached to those claims.
"A lot of male abuse goes unreported because people laugh at a male who says he's being abused," Janese said. "In our society, we don't believe a woman can abuse a man."
Janese said many male victims also fear the reaction of police when they make a complaint against a female partner.
"Our officers on the street treat it the same and they do an outstanding job," Janese said. "We treat all victims the same. All the things we do for female victims, we do for male victims."
Even domestic violence education programs address the potential for male victims. Though Janese admits, when he speaks to students in high schools about the topic he sometimes gets an skeptical reaction.
"I tell them 97 percent of domestic violence is against females, but there are males who get assaulted too," Janese said. "I get a big chuckle from (the teenage boys). If only they knew."
However, men who have been abused, by reporting that violence may take a step toward preventing retaliatory violence against women.
"I had a guy who came in and made a report, the female had been beating him for quite awhile," Janese said. "And he told me he was at the point where he almost hit her back and he didn't want to do that."
That victim, Janese said, made the right choice.
The crime doesn't know city lines either.
Down the road, in the City of Tonawanda, a 911 call, at around 10 p.m., sent officers into action there.
It was a domestic in progress on Broad Street in the City of Tonawanda. When officers arrived, they could hear children screaming from the inside of the home.
The victim, who had managed to escape, was waiting for officers outside. The victim reported being punched, cut and spit at. But the aggressor in the situation, who had broken a window to enter the home, wasn't a muscle-bound guy.
It was a 130-pound woman, arrested in May on charges that ranged from second-degree harassment with physical contact to acting in ways that could injure a child.
Of the hundreds of domestic incidents that devour the time of local police officers, most are instigated and perpetuated by men. But the small percentage of women-led assaults and harassments that domestic cases breed are growing locally.
Officers say it could be women are acting more aggressively, or it could be that changing stereotypes are influencing more men to come forward and report the abuse.
Lt. John Ivancic, with the City of Tonawanda Police, said the abuse women tend to inflict on their male partners isn't that different than the aggression men show toward women.
"There are women who use weapons, but they're just as likely to use their fists and feet," Ivancic said. "And a lot of guys won't raise their hand to a woman, even though she raised her hand to him first."
Such is the case with Kelly Caldwell, a repeat domestic offender who lives in the City of Tonawanda. Police have responded to incidents of Caldwell acting aggressively toward boyfriends for multiple years.
Some of the cases are sealed, but others paint an abusive picture.
One January night in 2004, officers responded to a 911 call involving Caldwell. She had punched her boyfriend at the time repeatedly in the face, which resulted in a cut on his forehead, according to police reports.
She was charged with second-degree harassment and first-degree criminal contempt.
In some cases, it takes multiple instances of abuse before a victim will come forward. Ivancic remembers one case where a male victim came to the police station only after the abuse spread throughout the household.
"The wife had started to abuse one of their children," he said. "That's what made him come in. When the wife started having aggression to one of their children, he drew the line. But he was still embarrassed to talk about it."
Lt. Lori Rank, with the City of Tonawanda Police Department, said another case involved a 4-foot, 10-inch woman that beat her husband so severely with a wooden spoon, he was cut and bleeding from his head.
"It seems to be 'heat of the moment' type things," Rank said. "It's not like they waited for them to get home from the bar and planned it."

In the early 1960's on Palm Avenue near Fair Oaks Boulevard, a huge yellow mailbox stood out from others, lining the street and guarding a small white house tucked away at the end of a long, gravel driveway. The residents name was boldly painted in black capital letters and was certainly hard to miss to passersby.
I often wondered if the "Spitz" family really lived there, and sure enough, they did. It was a pretty big deal at the time considering Mark Spitz would go on to shatter seven world records in the 1972 Summer Olympics, and bring home just as many gold medals.
Some of the newer Carmichael residents and readers of Carmichael Patch may be interested to learn that one of the greatest olympic champions of all time launched his legendary career right here in our own backyard, training at Arden Hills Swimming Club.
Spitz was born in Modesto back in 1950 and his parents Arnold and Lenore spotted his natural aptitude for swimming at a very young age, moving across the Pacific Ocean to Honolulu, Hawaii for his early training. In 1956, the family returned to California settling right on Palm Avenue in the heart of Carmichael and when Mark was a mere 9 years old, he began much more intensive training at Arden Hills, with his personal coach Sherm Chavoor.
In 1964, the family relocated to Santa Clara where Spitz began to compete on a national level, destroying the competition in virtually every event he entered. Everyone around him knew that Spitz was destined for Olympic glory and during his 4 years at Santa Clara High School, he held American records for every event he competed in, emerging as a recognized figure not just here in the United States, but globally.
Going on to attend Indiana University and train with respected NCAA swimming coach Doc Counsilman, Spitz was about to compete on the international stage in his first Olympiad, but not before setting eight new college records and being widely recognized as the top amateur athelete in the nation.
Prior the the 1968 summer games, he already held 10 world records. Anticipation was high for his appearance in Munich after a somewhat disappointing performance in the 1968 Mexico City Games, but he would ultimately go on to silence the critics.
Unfortunately, Spitz's incredible and unprecedented performances were overshadowed by the tragic kidnapping and subsequent murders of 11 athletes and officials from the Israeli team. Spitz was quickly evacuated from Munich because some of the committee officials feared that he may be targeted due to his Jewish descent.
After officially retiring from competition at the ripe old age of 22, Spitz went on to make millions of dollars in product endorsements including lucrative deals with the California Milk Advisory Board, Schick Razors and going on to work briefly with ABC Sports as a commentator covering the Olympic Games in 1976 and 1984. He posed for posters, appeared on The Tonight Show, Sonny and Cher Show and even played guest spots in several episodes of network programming, but within a few years, he had effectively vanished from the national limelight.
Following his retirement from swimming and television, he went on to start a very successful real estate company in Beverly Hills, taking an avid interest in sailing, skiing and collecting fine artwork. He was extremely competitive in open water racing and still remains quite the entrepeneur, delivering up to 25 lectures per year all over the world speaking about his many experiences.
Spitz has stated he no longer swims, but even today, remains an active voice in issues such a drug testing in the Olympics. He has been a vocal proponent of more rigorous testing and a very harsh critic of the IOC, which is perhaps why he was snubbed from recent ceremonies celebrating Michael Phelps breaking his long standing gold medal record.
Mark Spitz is not only a former Carmichael local but one of only five athletes in the history of the Olympics to win nine gold medals.

Sasha Go Hard is friendly with a disarming, real-life beauty queen smile. In her great videos, she's often surrounded by a gaggle of equally sweet and tough young women, but on a recent visit to FADER offices, she insisted they're not her confidants. "I don't have friends," she said, "I run alone." The former dance team captain talked with us about her solo push toward success: rapping into her phone's recorder before ever stepping into a studio, working days at a Hyde Park bike shop and rethinking her lyrics and videos for young Chicago fans. For more, check out her recent Do You Know Who I Am? mixtape.
My name is Roy Kinsey, and I just released my album R.O.Y (Rookie Of the Year), produced by Nick Castle on Monday, September 24. I wanted to send a link and see if it was possible to get a feature on the Fader website. Here's a little about me..
Playing sold out shows using his charismatic presence, Chi-Town's own Roy Kinsey is rapidly ascending, staking claim as one of the city's hottest young MC's. He has immediately built up his reputation by bringing a fresh & honest perspective, incorporating clever & thought-provoking lyrics with an effortless flow, appealing to all kinds of fans. He is set to release his 2nd album, R.O.Y Fall 2012.
Hope you like the track. Here is the link for my R.O.Y EP….www.roykinsey.com/bandcamp.com
Thanks for your time.

The Monday Quarterback Club announced this week that former Bills punter Chris Mohr has been selected to receive the 27th annual Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Distinguished Service Award for the 2012 season. Mohr will be honored during pregame ceremonies at the Bills-Jacksonville game at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Dec. 2 and at the Monday Quarterback Club luncheon at the Adams Mark Hotel the next day.
Mohr played in 160 regular-season games over his 10-year career in Buffalo, from 1991-2000. He was active in community service as a supporter and volunteer for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Women's and Children's Hospital in Buffalo.
Mohr signed as a free agent with the Bills in 1991 after playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He is the vice president of sales and product development for NVIROCLEAN Company and lives in Thompson, Ga. with his wife and four children.
The Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Distinguished Service Award was established by the Monday Quarterback Club in 1986 to honor former players for long and meritorious service to the Bills. Mohr becomes the 32nd former Bills player to be selected for the award over the past 27 years.

Writing a Letter To Your Future Self
Writing a letter to your future self is an exercise which I thought of back in 2006. It was inspired from when I chanced upon the Yahoo! Time Capsule project. Essentially, this is similar to the concept of a time capsule, where you write a personal note to your future self, seal it and only open it at a future moment in time. There are no restrictions on the time duration either – it can be 1 year later, 3 years later, 5 years later, 10 years later, or even 20 years later!
Why Write A Letter To Your Future Self?
Doing this exercise can be a really insightful experience.
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to read the message that the past you left for yourself. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize your ideal vision for yourself in the future.
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not) vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that's the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
In addition to that, at the very moment you are writing the letter, your consciousness is captured and stored right there in those words. When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguing experience. It's interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter
What To Write About
- Look at today's date. Now imagine you writing to yourself, exactly X years from now. What do you want to say to your future self?
- How do you want your future self to be like 1 year in the future?
- What are the different dreams and goals you would want to be realized by then?
- What is your desired status of the areas of your life wheel at that time? Career/Business/Studies? Finances? Family? Friends? Love? Health? Spirituality? Recreation? Personal growth? Contribution?
- Once you're done, sign off your name with today's date.
- Safekeep your letter.
- Put the papers in an envelope. Seal it.
- On the cover, write "To [Your Name]. To be opened on [Date]". Replace [Your Name] with your name, with [Date] the date that's 1 year from now.
- Set in your calendar to open your letter 1 year from now.
- Put this envelope in a safe place where no one can access to it.
- Live your life like you've never lived it before in the next 1 year. Open the letter 1 year later and relish in nostalgia, love and joy as you read the letter from yourself 1 year ago.
You can either write it as hard copy (for a greater sense of nostalgia due to the aging condition of paper by then) or have it as a digital soft copy. I personally wrote a hard copy, then transferred it into soft copy document on my computer just in case I lost the hard copy. You can also try FutureMe.org, an online time capsule service that stores and sends information to a specified email address any time in the future you specify. Personally I prefer to have a copy by my side.
Opening My Letter From My Past Self
I wrote 2 letters to myself last year, in February 10th 2008. The first letter I wrote to myself in Feb 10th 2009 (1 year from then); the second letter was to myself in Feb 10th 2013 (5 years from then). A week ago, I opened the first letter I wrote. It was an enthralling experience reading it, since it felt like my old self was talking directly to me
Reading the letter, it is interesting to notice how I was in the past and how I have changed. One of the biggest changes was my materialism tendencies. While I was already not a very materialistic person when writing this last year, I'm even less materialistic right now, given my added revelations on my relationship with material wealth and goods since quitting my job last year. My consciousness has also heightened, which is not a surprise given it is something I'm constantly working on all the time. The time period after I left my job has definitely given me unlimited personal time to really introspect and dig deep into my personal growth.
In terms of goals, I have reached and exceeded several goals. For Health, I correctly predicted I will still be a vegan and loving every minute of it. Weight-wise, I have pretty much reached my desired weight/look, something I'm really proud of as losing weight is a personal goal I had struggled with since 5-6 years ago. For Career, I leaped ahead of myself compared to my predictions – I predicted I would still be working in my ex-company while working on my purpose on the side; Turns out I have already quit it and I'm working on my purpose full-time now. The end result? I'm totally loving every moment right now.
There are some goals I haven't reached yet. For example in Love, I thought I would have found my relationship partner by now, but I haven't. It's perfectly okay though due to my revelation a few months ago on how we are actually already perfect, complete and whole as singles. Finding and being together with my soulmate is something I want and look forward to in the future – In the meantime, I'm perfectly happy and complete as I am.
In terms of Friendship, some friends whom I thought I would still be great terms with had slipped away; in place of that other people had entered into the foray and have become great friends of mine in the past year, especially the past few months. In a way, it's sort of an equilibrium at work when you think about it.
There were goals I didn't reach because I had abandoned it halfway, since it lost meaning to me. An example would be wanting to buy a car – when I received my pay rise last year and was in the capacity to get a car, I realized that owning a car in Singapore, where public transport is readily available, does not resonate with my highest self at all. My original intent of getting a car was more for imagery reasons, and that had long been shedded away as part of my old self. Not to mention the environmental damage I would be causing too with a car.
All in all, this comparison between my past vision for myself and who I am right now made me aware of several things. It made me more conscious of how much and how exactly I have changed vs. the past, in a tangible manner (rather than just relying on memories). It reminded me of some of the visions I had in the past which I lost track of along the way. It made me appreciate how far I have come. It made me look forward in excitement to the future.
Write Your Letter To Your Future Self
Take out a pen and paper right now and start writing your letter to your future self. Identify a time period to write to, imagine how you will be like during that time period, then start writing. Think about the type of person you will be, your place in life, what you would have accomplished then, the kind of thoughts and feelings you will experience, and so on.
At the end of the letter, seal it in an envelope, write the date to open it on the cover and put it in a safe storage space. Fix the date to open this letter in your personal calendar. When you open this sometime in the near future, you might gain additional insights about yourself and your journey in the past few years that you were oblivious to.
Be sure to check out Day 29 of 30DLBL Program on writing a letter to your future self.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Vertex Daypack:
After researching packs online then going to a local EMS to try them on, this one won out by far for the lightweight comfort I was looking for. So far I've used it 4 times in the last two weeks on day hikes and one trip to an amusement park. It easily held lunches, snacks, camera, and towel for a family of 4 on hikes or change of clothes and 2 towels for Mom and 2 kids at a park. It is VERY comfy and super adjustable, although I'm 5'4" and about 120 lbs and it's at pretty much the smallest settings, so it would be best for my size and up. Likely too long for teen girls. I like that the board to give the back stiffness is removable to lighten the load, but it makes it more comfortable in there. I also like the zippered pouch that's on one of the waist straps, it holds my digital camera perfectly. Only thing is that the zipper on the front pouch (on the side, not the vertical one) does tend to snag a bit when closing it. Doesn't take away from the overall coolness of the bag though. You could definitely use it as a school/office bag as well.

From Sandy Springs Police Capt. Steve Rose
A Fulton County Grand Jury has indicted a Sandy Springs doctor on charges that he molested a juvenile female during a sleepover at his residence.
Doctor Kelly Thrasher was indicted Tuesday on Child Molestation. The Fulton County Grand Jury added the charges of Sexual Battery and Aggravated Sexual Battery to the indictment. Thrasher was arrested on Jan. 24 after his release from the Ridgeview Medical Center where he entered himself after detectives initiated a criminal investigation into the molestation complaint.
The 40-year old Thrasher is also charged in a Nov. 2012 incident where he is accused of sexually assaulting a 38-year-old woman at his residence in Sandy Springs. That case is set for Feb. 13, 2013 at 10 a.m. in Sandy Springs Municipal Court.
A court date on the indicted charges has not been set. Thrasher is currently free on $50,000 bond

I purchased this vacuum to do some spring cleaning around the house (dust on walls, base boards, etc.) It does a good job but the suction could be better. I do like the fact that is it bagless and the wheels make it very convenient to move around with. The cords not very long but I have an extension cord that fixed that problem.

This purchase was a good value for the money. The vacuum works as described, and is bagless, which is a plus. Have only had the machine for a few weeks and have used it only a few times, but so far, so good. Using the machine on tile floors only to pick up dust and pet hair, and it appears to be doing a fair job, so far no complaints.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. —
Kypton Greenwood's bedroom was turned from a bright, happy place to a pile of damp, ashy mush Tuesday by a fire that left his family homeless.
His toys — what remains of them — are melted mostly beyond recognition. His bed is an almost unrecognizable pile of charred wood and box springs.
But things could have been much worse, the 3-year-old's parents say, if he hadn't braved flames, smoke and fear to alert them their house was burning down.
"I woke up and he was tugging on my arm, saying 'Mommy, my bed's on fire," Kypton's stepmother Kendel Ames said. "As soon as I opened my eyes and took a breath, I was just filled with smoke. I was in shock.
"He's a hero, pretty much."
Ames said she looked down the hallway to Kypton's room and could see the foot of his bed engulfed in flames. The fire, which began just before 1:30 a.m., had begun in an adjacent bathroom and had spread to Kypton's room through the hall.
"I don't know if he walked through the fire or crawled past it or what," Ames said. "But I really don't think we would have made it if he hadn't."
Ames said she and her boyfriend, BJ Greenwood, have lived in the house at 720 S. 30th St. for about 18 months. The family searched through what was left of the house Tuesday morning, looking for anything salvageable. Drywall, weighted down with water, had begun cracking and falling overnight. Most things not burned to a crisp were water damaged — firefighters battled the blaze for more than two hours before it was fully out.
"Funny thing is, I had my phone charging on the headboard of my bed while I slept," Ames said. "The dresser next to the bed is just completely burned and destroyed, but my phone was fine."
Greenwood said the Red Cross had put them up in a hotel and given them enough money on a debit card to buy some clothes. Faced with the prospect of starting over, Greenwood was resilient.
"We'll be back on our feet soon," Greenwood said. "It shouldn't take long."
Kypton, for his part, seemed to be taking it all in stride. Sitting on the patio outside the house, he said he saw his house on fire and "woke my mommy up."
Then, like any normal 3-year-old, stood up and announced: "Let me go, I want to go run over there and spit."

Can You Keep A Secret?
Don't tell anyone this, but ... I think I might be addicted to American Idol.
I know, I know. With the notable exception of The Apprentice and MTV's Newlyweds, I have long opposed the proliferation of reality TV. In fact, American Idol has actually been a frequent target of my criticism of the genre because of its overwhelming popularity.
I admit to having watched the audition episodes every year because they've always been damn funny. However, I inevitably tune out once the real competition starts because the spectacle never really catches my interest. To me, it was like a glorified Star Search. I've also never bought into the karaoke craze either, something which I am sure has contributed greatly to the show's following.
So I've long bemoaned reality TV, particularly American Idol; yet here I am coming out of the closet to confess that I have been secretly recording every episode with my DVR since this newest season began, even after the auditions were over. Being the thoughtful person that I am, I had to wonder: What brought about this sudden interest?
Upon reflection, the answer was clear: It's the talent and, perhaps more important, the personality of this season's contestants. Although I never really paid much attention to past contestants, I don't think I'm going out on a limb here when I say that the talent was never really mindblowing. Kelly Clarkson, whom I like very much, has been the only one who has actually achieved pop star status. (I mean, the girl won a Grammy this year, which is amazing when you consider where she started from.) All the other contestants have pretty much disappeared because they were completely forgettable, with last year's Carrie Underwood being a possible exception.
I would hesitate to call any of this year's contestants a breakout star, but there's some definite talent there. More importantly, from my prospective at least, is that many of this year's competitors are exceedingly likable. That's what has really gotten me hooked on the show this time around. I want to see some of these people win, and that's what keeps me watching.
With that said, who are my favorites then? Well, I absolutely love Kellie Pickler, as I'm sure many, many other people do as well. She has an incredible back story, a fantastic personality, looks adorable, and can actually sing (oh yeah, there's that). Unfortunately, I don't think she has the talent to win, but I think her endearing presence will carry her far.
So who do I think will win? Honestly, I think the field is so close this year that it's too early to pick a winner yet. If it were up to me, I'd choose Chris. From his initial audition, I have always thought he has had the most talent and charisma. He has a kick ass voice, but the question is is whether people will vote a rocker in as the next Idol.
From the girls, I would pick Katharine. She's attractive, charming, and has a great voice. I think she's got the whole package. Of the others, I'd be remiss if I didn't give a nod to Taylor. I get a kick out of each of his performances. I dig his voice and his Ray Charles-que
dancing gyrations are fun to watch. Those are the three that I'm rooting for this year.
I like Lisa as well, and Paris has pipes, but I'm not a fan of her personality -- she's a great performer but a little too cocky for my tastes. Mandisa can wail and Elliott's pretty good, but I just don't think they have the "It" factor. The rest? Well, they can all go home in my opinion.
Holy crap, did I just spend ten paragraphs talking about and analyzing American Idol? Dear god, I really am addicted.

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing.
Still, when you've got some chicken wings in your pants -- and haven't paid for them -- it can be a big deal and run you afoul of the law.
Such was the case Jan. 19 with Kenneth Thomas Amarite, 48, of Vero Beach, according to a recently released affidavit.
Amarite was arrested and unable to fly the coop after accusations he put $4.14 in chicken wings from the deli in the front of his pants at a Publix in Vero Beach in the 1200 block of U.S. 1.
Chicken wings, which taste like chicken, are the wings of chickens.
They often are associated with sports bars and barbecue sauce, with many dipping the tasty fingerfood in ranch dressing or blue cheese sauce. Also known as Buffalo wings, chicken wings can be deep fried, oven fried, broiled, roasted, grilled or even baked. It might be unwise to consume them raw.

The only way an NFL team can give a nine-point underdog a chance to win is to turn the ball over multiple times, commit too many penalties, and suffer a key injury during the game. On Sunday the Eagles "accomplished" two of the three. Fortunately, it was not enough to make them victims of what would have been a devastating upset.
The most important thing was to win the game and they did that. The second most important thing was to see Michael Vick translate his mantras of self-preservation and ball security from talk to application. He failed miserably on both counts. Had his horrendous play cost the Eagles the game, this season could have unraveled in Week One.
Vick's gradual regression that began after his torrid start in 2010 bottomed out yesterday—at least fans hope that was the bottom. That he dove headfirst over and over, inviting another concussion, was bad enough. That he threw four interceptions and fumbled twice had to have every fan thinking Vick getting pulled out of the game would not have been the worst thing for the Eagles.
After all the talk of limiting turnovers, in his first action of the year, Vick set a career high in interceptions. They were caused by laughable decision-making, throwing into TRIPLE coverage once and right to a defender another time—things a high school QB has learned not to do, let alone a professional who either is, or is masquerading as, a franchise QB.
Vick threw several other passes that were almost intercepted and added two fumbles. He somehow recovered his second fumble, which occurred on the game-winning drive; if not for that, the Eagles would have lost the game. Starting out with a loss to a team that bad could have had them looking into the abyss.
Head Coach Andy Reid and Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg did not help by calling passing plays on 72 percent of their offensive snaps; however that is no excuse. No NFL staff should have to protect a $100 million franchise quarterback from himself. However, when a QB is struggling that badly, the coach either has to replace him or try to get the offense back into balance.
The only thing Vick deserves credit for on Sunday is perseverance. In the fourth quarter, a run-balanced offense led them ninety yards to win the game. That counted more than anything else on Sunday. The rest is worrisome for the future.
Vick's maddening play was exacerbated by a heretofore unseen barrage of penalties, all at inopportune times, erasing one big offensive gain after another. Sure, the Eagles shot themselves in the foot with a couple of obvious penalties. However, with two NFL teams playing, there is no way the disparity in penalties could have legitimately been twelve to three. That wide a margin is just illogical. The ineptitude of the replacement officials was on display all over the league yesterday—something to keep a watchful eye on as the season progresses.
Vick's regression and the penalties were the worst thing to come out of an ugly game. Had they been playing any team but Cleveland, the Eagles would probably be sitting at 0-1 right now. It was ugly, but it was a lot better than losing.
Browns fans are obnoxious and nasty for the most part. Nothing wrong with that, they were in their own stadium and we were on their turf wearing visiting team colors. To walk out amid taunts from Browns fans after having given the game away to that terrible team would have been very tough.
Aside from the obvious of winning the game, there were some other positives as well. The Eagles defense dominated the game. They held highly regarded rookie Trent Richardson, to a paltry 2.1 yards a carry. They bullied Brandon Weeden into a 5.1 QB rating and picked off four of his passes, including the one that sealed the victory. They allowed just nine points to the Browns offense, despite consistently poor field position due to all of the offensive turnovers.
The Browns are a very bad team and the Eagles defense dominated them as they should any bad team—something they failed to do multiple times last season. More importantly, the defense as a whole, especially the secondary and linebackers, looked much more in synch than they did at any time last year.
The move to jettison Asante Samuel seems so far to be addition by subtraction. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie can now play his natural outside CB position, and he looked tremendous doing it. The safeties, which were a collective question mark going in, both played well. Coleman notched his second game with multiple interceptions and cemented the win with his pick of an errant Weeden throw on the final drive of the game.
The linebackers looked much better than they had when the team opened play last season. Demeco Ryans played an excellent game, as did Akeem Jordan. The mental breakdowns were the biggest problem last season and the full offseason seemed to have allowed them to remedy that problem.
The offense was not inept. McCoy ran for over one hundred yards and the Eagles more than doubled the Browns in offensive production, 456 yards to 210. They also more than doubled the Browns in first downs, 25 to 12.
The only statistic that was close was turnovers and the Eagles needed every one they forced to eke out the win. And therein lies the problem. They can outgain and outplay teams and still lose if the offense continues to turn the ball over. If they were playing any team but the Browns, that is what would have happened Sunday as it did last year.
So the biggest determinant of success going into the year was whether Vick had the ability to learn from his past experiences. So far the answer is no, and he is a 32-year-old, 10-year veteran… who has won five games in a row.

Tax Provisions Affected by Health Care Reform 2015
Tax Provisions Affected by Health Care Reform 2015
Employer Shared Responsibility - The "Play or Pay" Rules
On February 10, 2014, the IRS issued
final regulations
implementing the employer shared responsibiltiy provisions. In an effort to help folks navigate the final regulations, the IRS posted an
on their website.
The final regulations include transition relief for 2015 for all employers, providing them more time to comply with the provisions and avoid penalties. Employers who employ on average at least 50 but fewer than 100 full-time employees (including full-time equivalent employees (FTEs)) who provide an appropriate certification will not be required to comply with the shared responsibility provisions until 2016.
How the employer shared responsibility provisions work:
Employers with more than 50 full-time employees (full-time employee is defined as an employee working at least 30 hours per week), including full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), must offer health care coverage to employees that is affordable, and provides minimum value or pay a penalty if an employee purchases insurance in an exchange and receives a subsidy or tax credit.
The penalties for not offering minimum essential insurance coverage are as follows:
* $2,000 times the number of all FTEs less the first 80 employees for employers with 100+ FTEs in 2015 and less 30 employees in subsequent years.
* $3,000 for each FTE who purchases insurance through an exchange that is subsidized and who is not offered minimum essential coverage that is affordable and provides minimum value.
On March 14, 2013 the
AICPA submitted comments
on the proposed regulations in order to request clarification of various elements of the regulations.
Previously Issued Guidance:
Notice 2013-54
states that beginning Jan. 1, 2014, employers cannot reimburse employees for individual health care coverage, as that coverage does not qualify as a group health plan.
*Treasury posted a
on July 2, 2013 stating that the date for the employer shared responsibilty rules to take effect was moved from 2014 to 2015.
Notice 2013-45
provides transition relief for the employer shared responsibility payment as well as the reporting rules under sections 6055 and 6056.
The IRS issued
proposed regulations [REG-138006-12]
on December 28, 2012 as well as a list of
questions and answers
related to section 4980 providing employers a roadmap to follow when implementing the new "play or pay" rules. They also provided various safe harbors and transition rules to help ease the administrative burden of implementing the rules in 2014.
Notice 2012-59
provides information on waiting periods which apply before coverage begins.
Notice 2012-58
discusses safe harbors that may be used to determine full-time employee status and to determine if coverage is affordable
Information Reporting of Minimum Essential Coverage (Section 6055 for Insurers) (to be updated for final regs)
Beginning in 2014, individuals must maintain minimum essential health coverage or pay a penalty in the form of a tax on their Federal income tax return. This is known as the individual shared responsibility payment.
If an individual purchases insurance through a state run exchange, they may be eligible for a premium tax credit to help defray the cost of the insurance.
The information reporting of minimum essential coverage rules were enacted in order for the IRS to track an individual's compliance with the individual mandate and their eligibility for the premium tax credit. According to the requirements, insurers (including employers who self-insure) who provide minimum coverage to any individual during a calendar year must report certain health insurance coverage information to both the covered individual and to the IRS.
Examples of the information required to be reported to the IRS is as follows:
* Name, address, taxpayer identification number of the primary insured
* Name, dates of coverage and taxpayer identification number of each insured individual
* Note if the insurance was offered through an Exchange
* The amount of any advance payments of the premium tax credit
Other information is required to be reported to the IRS if the coverage is through an employer's group health plan, such as:
* Name, address, employer identification number of the employer maintaining the insurance plan
* The amount of the premium paid by the employer
Insurers must also provide covered individuals with a written statement showing the name, address, and phone number of the insurer as well as the information reported to the IRS for that individual.
Proposed regulations
were issued in September 2013 governing the reporting requirements as well as the effective date. A number of simplification ideas were considered in the proposed regs. The proposed regs also confirm that an entity must first file reports to the IRS beginning in 2016 related to 2015 information, including furnishing statements to covered individuals in 2016 with respect to 2015.
The reporting requirements were originally slated to begin in 2014, however per a blog post by Treasury on July 2, 2013, the effective date has been moved to 2015.
Notice 2013-45
provides transition relief which is meant to provide time to simplify the reporting requirements before they take effect.
Final regulations
were issued by the IRS and Treasury in March 2014.
Information Reporting Requirements for Large Employers (Section 6056) (to be updated for final regs)
The reporting requirements mandate that applicable large employers must report annually, on a section 6056 return, information relating to health insurance that they offer (or do not offer) to their full-time employees. The returns must be filed with respect to each full-time employee. The employer must also provide each full-time employee with a statement by January 31 of the year following the calendar year for which the returns are filed, providing certain information related to the health insurance offered to their employees.
Proposed regulations
related to the reporting requirements were released in September 2013. A number of simplification ideas were presented in the proposed regs. The proposed regs also confirm that a large employer must first file reports to the IRS in 2016 related to 2015 information, including statements to covered individuals in 2016 with respect to 2015.
The reporting requirements were originally slated to begin in 2014, however, they were delayed until 2015.
Notice 2013-45
provides transition relief which is meant to provide time to simplify the reporting requirements before they take effect.
Final regulations
were issued by the IRS and Treasury in March 2014.

17 years and $400m in restitution for USS Miami arsonist
Casey James Fury, 26, formerly of Portsmouth, was a painter and sandblaster for three years at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, when he set a fire on May 23 in a stateroom so he could be sent home from work. The blaze, fueled by the enamel paint on the submarine's ceilings and walls, caused $450 to $500 million in damage.
Fury was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland by U.S. District Court Judge George Z. Singal. Fury was ordered to make $400 million in restitution, though prosecutors admit that's unlikely to happen.
Fury had agreed to a plea bargain that called for a sentence of between 15 and a half to just over 17 years on two arson counts. At sentencing, prosecutors argued for the maximum, the defense for the minimum.
The first fire was on May 23 about 5:30 p.m. Wanting to go home, Fury lit a plastic bag containing cotton rags on top of a bed in a stateroom in the forward compartment of the nuclear powered Los Angeles class attack submarine in dry dock for maintenance.
Five firefighters and two shipyard workers were injured as they fought the blaze for 12 hours.
Fury, who has a history of anxiety and depression, was in a panic that day. With no sick days or vacation time left, he set the blaze so he could go home, according to court documents filed by Federal Defender David Beneman. Fury expected someone would see the fire and put it out since the submarine is outfitted with fire extinguishers. He never expected it would cause the damage it did, Beneman said.
But the fire spread quickly igniting enamel paint used on the walls and ceiling of the submarine, Beneman wrote. Naval and ATF tests established the burning rags alone did not create enough heat or energy to spread the fire. It was the enamel paint on the walls and ceilings of the submarine that fueled the expanding fire, according to Beneman. The enamel paint hazard was not previously recognized, he said.
Less than a month after the devastating blaze, Fury started a second fire using alcohol wipes on June 16 at 7 p.m. on the dry dock blocks on which the Miami rests. Again, he did it so he could get out of work early. This fire was quickly extinguished and caused little or no damage but did result in the submarine being evacuated.
Prosecutors acknowledged Fury started the first fire as a distraction but said it spread quickly and caused catastrophic damage. Fury rushed off the submarine to safety, alongside colleagues who feared for their lives as smoke filled hallways barely large enough to walk through while wearing regular clothing, let alone fire-fighting equipment, wrote Assistant U.S. Atty. Darcie N. McElwee. The defendant then watched from the safety of the pier as others risked their lives to battle the blaze, according to McElwee.
Fury's conduct, the prosecutor said, has far-reaching consequences and, because of sequestration, repair of the USS Miami has been deferred. While the Miami is out of commission, other submarines will be at sea longer. Fury's action, the prosecutor said, cost the United States the use of an vital national asset for 18 months beyond the originally scheduled 19.6 month maintenance period.
The court recommended Fury serve his time in a prison able to address his mental health needs. On release, Fury will remain on supervised release for five years.

One of the most vibrant cities in the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan areas, Federal Way, Washington, is a city that continues to experience growth and a low unemployment rate when compared to the rest of the state and most of the country. Between 2000 and 2010, Federal Way experienced a 7.3 percent increase in population, proving that Federal Way continues to be a city that draws in a wide variety of residents. With so much growth, finding Federal Way apartments for rent should be a breeze.
Federal Way first came to fruition when it became a popular logging settlement during the late 1800s. Federal Highway 99 gave the area a reliable connection to the growing cities of Seattle and Tacoma in the early 1920s. After the consolidation of several schools and the construction of many family-oriented housing areas, a commercial business district and a large shopping center, Federal Way began to blossom into its current bustling state.
Located just a few short miles south of Seattle, Federal Way is a great location for any individual looking to further their education. The University of Washington's main campus in Seattle is located 24 miles away, and is most well known for its medical programs. For an option that's a little closer to home, Federal Way residents can attend UW's Tacoma campus, which is only 15 miles away. Individuals looking for a top-notch liberal arts education may want to attend the University of Puget Sound, also located in nearby Tacoma, Washington.
Approximately 22,000 people work in Federal Way, with many individuals commuting from neighboring cities such as Kent, Bellevue and Tacoma for job opportunities found here. According to city-data.com, unemployment here in 2012 was almost 1 percent lower than the rest of the state, demonstrating how fruitful the local economy is. One of the largest employers for the city is the Weyerhauser Company, most famous for its lumber products, whose U.S. headquarters is located in Federal Way. Federal Way Public Schools are also a top employer, so residents in the education field may find the opportunities for employment more plentiful here than elsewhere in the area.
Most residents in the Seattle-Tacoma metro area pay a little higher than average to enjoy their lifestyle, and Federal Way is part of the pack. In 2012, the cost of living index was 11 points higher than the national average, according to city-day.com. As of 2009, median gross rent for the area was $975. However, compared to rent in Seattle, which averages around $1,000 per month, residents may enjoy living a little bit more affordably in their apartments in Federal Way.
Federal Way is home to the area's largest and one of its most popular amusement and water parks, Wild Waves. With more than 60 different rides, water slides and attractions, the park is known for its eclectic collection of roller coasters and number of thrilling waterslides.
Federal Way is also home to the Rhododendron Species Foundation and Botanical Garden. The Pacific Northwest may be most well known for its evergreen vegetation, but residents here also know and love the wide variety of rhododendron plants that pepper their roadsides and backyards, and this botanical garden is tops for checking them all out. Housing more than 10,000 different flora species, the best - or at least most aromatic - time to visit is between March and May, when the colorful blooms are at their peak.
