How To Fly If You're A 'Customer Of Size'
The ongoing debate has been around whether larger passengers are, and should be, required to buy extra seats for themselves, and the jury is coming back with a definitive "yes." Yahoo! News rounds up policies from major airlines on "passengers of size," whether there are special provisions, if fees are required, and, basically, what the deal is.
After going through the options, we can weigh in on the best and worst.
The winners? Customers of some size may want to opt for JetBlue, which has slightly larger seats than most other airlines. Usually airlines provide about 17 inches between armrests, but JetBlue provides 17.8 inches.
If you're a customer of the next size up, your best bet may, surprisingly, be Spirit. Although Spirit is known for nickel-and-diming its customers with loads of different fees, paying extra for a Big Front Seat may actually be worth your while, rather than buying a whole extra seat like you'd have to on another airline. In addition to offering 6 extra inches of legroom, Spirit's Big Front Seats are 18.5 inches wide.
If you're a customer of a larger size than that, your best bet may be Delta, which doesn't require you to buy an extra seat. Delta will simply give you an extra seat next to you ... if one is available. Obviously, the downside is if you're in a rush and there are no spare seats on the plane. They'll put you on another plane with extra room, but you may have to wait. In that case, it's your choice to buy an extra seat for yourself in advance.
The loser? United. If you fly on United, you have to prove the armrests go down and stay all the way down – even if you're seated next to family. While I totally understand (and agree) that it's inappropriate for strangers to intrude on other passengers' spaces, other airlines make an exception if you sit next to family members who don't mind. No such luck on United. You can purchase your extra United seat in advance, and if you don't, you may be charged additional walk-up fees later.

I see nothing wrong with testing the arm rests...sorry...but plane tickets are so much money..I would be very upset if someone's BODY was spilling into my seat...
Curtis Nov 14th 2012 4:01PM
I agree, but if you are sitting next to family and they say that they do not mind, why should he have to pay for an extra seat when those seats are already paid for by his family. I would understand if this was a safety issue, but then why is only United doing this?
max Nov 14th 2012 5:38PM
I am a thin, small person and when I fly I have experienced very large people squeezing into the seat next to me and their girth spilling onto my seat and ME! Last time I flew on AirTran, the experience was so awful that I have not flown since...more than 2 years. Please....airlines have to help those of us who are not obese. It is only fair.
Dan Nov 15th 2012 11:10AM
OVERSIZED people.... you know who you are... The humiliation is coming. we pay for 1 person as we are only 1 person in size. I hate to be mean but you know who you are. most of you let yourself go to be this size... We did not make you that way. If you are the size of 2 people PAY that extra person you are hauling. as well.
wILLIAM hOULE Nov 15th 2012 5:20PM
So to settle this why don't any airline just come up with a plane with larger seats? to help out the larger size people.. It's a dollar thing!
Jay Nov 14th 2012 7:50AM
So United 'Breaks Guitars', loose your luggage and charge you extra for being fat.
C Nov 14th 2012 8:36AM
They also delay their flights "just because its Friday) yes that s what I was told...
"Oh, it's Friday, happens all the time"
Then have no way for you to make a connecting flights, split up your party onto different flights, & different seats, leave you hanging at midnight, not offering a hotel room, or any other assistance. & to top it off, offer no apology for their disgraceful service, this happened to us less than a month ago, & we still haven't heard from them, & I wrote the day after we returned home. Doubt I ever will.
David Nov 14th 2012 10:05AM
I am paying good money to fly and if someone is overweight and is taking a part of my seat, that is not right. You pay for your seat, and you need to fit in it, otherwise, pay for an additional seat.
JayJ7 Dec 19th 2012 12:01PM
The odd thing about the "Friday delays" is that it is true in a way. On Fridays all the high pay, specialist doctors who own their own plane, fly to Florida, and the FAA treats one passenger planes with flight plans the same as 200 passenger planes. So every Friday going to south Florida becomes a mess. It's doubtful the flight attendents know why it happens, but they do know the result.
Chrissy Nov 14th 2012 9:00AM
I'm surprised to hear United is the "loser." I just flew with United a few weeks ago.
I'm a "customer of size" and they didn't test to see if my arm rest stayed down (it down going, but I put it up on the return flight). I did need a seat belt extender, but otherwise I was fine.
Cassandra Nov 14th 2012 3:22PM
While it's true that United's policy is that the armrest has to be able to be in the down position, they don't make you test your armrest unless there's a problem with a person spilling over to another passenger. Furthermore, they also never charge a "walk-up fee" if you need to purchase an extra seat due to size at the gate. If you read their policy, it says they will charge you for the extra seat at the same price you paid for your original seat. As for the armrest policy applying even if it's your family next to you, no airline wants to be the source of a problem with passengers of size. If your family is okay with you spilling into their space, neither United or any other airline will make you buy an extra seat. The author of this article must have just made up this information without checking out the facts.
john Nov 14th 2012 12:11PM
i was on a AA and a lady seat next to me. she was about 500 pounds. she took 1/2 my seat up. i had to get up if some one had to go by my seat. as i was on the in side seat. i asked if they could put her in a nother seat by her self. they said i would have to move. i paid for that seat. why did i have to move?
FIT4UFOR3RD Nov 16th 2012 2:30PM
what was more important, being comfortable or being right?. i hope you moved and didnt play the martyr
Katie Nov 14th 2012 9:10AM
The real problem is airlines have not moved with the times. People have been getting taller for decades and still we have these tiny legroom openings. As for width? With height comes width. People are simply getting bigger. I walk into a plane and most everybody seems crammed in. I buy 2 seats just to be comfortable. Which is the point. Lose the third seat in each row, widen the 2 seats and just charge more for the ticket. I think they all would be surprised at how that would increase revenues. I flew on a Thai airline and the room they give for the ticket price is awesome. American airlines can do the same.
bob Nov 14th 2012 11:37AM
Why make everybody have to pay more so that seats can be comfortable for the wider set? How about making new special planes for heavier people with wider seats and aisles and charging more for those flying on these planes? Then the thinner or average sized people will still be able to fly at a reasonable cost.
GAB104 Nov 14th 2012 1:51PM
I once sat next to a six-foot-plus professional hockey player. He wasn't particularly comfortable in his coach seat, but he fit. I still had my seat all to myself. So the problem isn't about people being taller; we haven't gotten that much taller in 50 years of commercial flight. The problem is about people being obese. Americans have become much heavier and wider in the last 50 years. But for 99 percent of obese and overweight people, the extra weight is something they chose by their actions. I do not believe that the airlines should accommodate those choices by making all the seats larger, which would increase costs for all of us. I don't need six more inches of seat, so I don't want to pay for it.
aleighcat Nov 14th 2012 6:16PM
So, Bob.............you're going to penalize those people, as well, for daring to be larger than the "average" size? Also...just *who* determines what is "normal"? I am a little overweight, myself...however I'm not obese, merely "pudgy" in my upper- middle age (I wear size 8 clothing). I am also very petite (4'10"), yet I still have to sit with my shoulders basically hunched together so as not to encroach on anyone else's space. The seats are ridiculously small, for *anyone*. No, the solution is to not cram so many seats together, they need to either have wider seats or not as many. I avoid flying like the plague because it is highly uncomfortable and most flight attendants are just plain rude anymore....not to mention the slew of self-entitled fellow passengers who leave their courtesy cards at the gate.
firstname.lastname@example.com Nov 15th 2012 4:55PM
If you are eating 2-3 times the correct portion size of foods then you should have no problem paying for 2-3 times the space you take up. What ever happened to being responsible for your own actions? If you eat 2-3 times the amount one person should have it's only right for you to pay 2-3 times the price it takes to fly a person within normal BMIs. But no! Everyone wants the industry to curtail their size of seats, air craft building plans and probably serve all you can eat buffets in mid flight policies.
Disgusting! Other Countries like New Zealand Take your BMI while entering the customs. If your over a certain BMI your not allowed into the country because the risk they may take having you as burden on their health care system. They actually make you leave the country to loose weight before you come back!
Even if your with family, members are separated by the fit who are welcomed and the caloric challenged who have to go back to loose a few pounds before coming back.

I'm curious...what assumption am I making here exactly? I believe my post cautioned against the use of assuming that all males are predators, and that you should get to know, get references, and see for yourself before deciding if this boy will be able to provide babysitting service. I give out advice all the time regarding childcare, to parents who ask me since they know I spent many years in early childhood centres before having my daughter and have always told them to research and go by gut feelings. At no point in my post did I say that you should assume that everyone else is a predator and that you should not leave your child with anyone.

DARPA takes bigger BigDog out for walkies
Remember the original BigDog? That funny robot pack animal? Well, a supersized version has been let off the leash--and it ain't so funny anymore.
We last saw the brute when Boston Dynamics unveiled the AlphaDog prototype last year. Even in a harness, it looked pretty mean and could haul 400 pounds without even panting.
This latest incarnation, though, makes its predecessor look quite poodle-like. As seen in the video below, DARPA recently took AlphaDog, aka the Legged Squad Support System, or LS3, out for a walk in the woods and probably scared off every living creature for miles around. … Read more

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a perfect high school for students having potentials and perfering challenging. From LinkedIn statistics, Harker, Bellarmine and some other excellent schools such as Lynbrook occupied half number students entering top private schools at graduations. Bellarmin has also more percentage at lawyer and financial area.
Unfortunately, I didn't exactly fit in with the GO BELLS! attitude that one is commonly subjected to. I also don't think the all boys atmosphere is that great as it isn't a realistic representation of "real life."
Bellarmine is not a high school, it is a college prep. Bellarmine prepares all young men for their future not just academically but spiritually. They gave the young men a foundation to success in the challenging world. I remember last year we bumped into a Bell alumni, he is still in UCLA, telling us that one of the classes in UCLA was very easy as the materials and teaching lessons are the same as the class he took in Bellarmine. Forgot to mention more than 50% of their buildings were built in the last few years, a new gym and theatre, etc. a very nice campus. Go Bell!
Literally every teacher that I had this past year was beyond helpful and seriously engaged me into all of my material. Not only did they explain everything amazingly, but they made all of the work seem very interesting. Even subjects that I normally would despise, such as biology, suddenly became amusing and fun to learn due to how the teachers presented the material. Not to mention, the facilities at this school are continually growing and the students have a great opportunity to work in state of the ark classrooms. Also, the equipment being used for certain classes is PROFESSIONAL GRADE. For example, my Graphic Design class allowed me to use $4,000 macs, an acoustically-sound green screen room, industrial grade lighting, and the newest CS5 software (for illustrator and photoshop). Surprising as this may sound, the social life at this school is the best in the world! Being with your guy friends all day long makes it so you can truly be yourself, clown around, grow a strong bond between them, and not worry about impressing girls. Also, EVERY SINGLE sports team at Bell is top notch, and we also boast over 100 clubs that range from the Filipino Student Union to Guitar Club.
Phenomenal school! My oldest graduated from here and my 2nd is a Sophomore. They develop young men to be capable, responsible, worldly, compassionate human beings. They emphasize leadership and the graduates basically populate the who's-who list of Silicon Valley business and government leaders. The school excels in every endeavor.. Academics are outstanding and require focus and effort to keep up to the bar. Sports are also stellar--and they get there by developing the student, not just by admitting star athletes. Extra curricular activities are a requirement. There are groups and activities for all interests from sports to music to debate to theatre to robotics. The school trains the whole individual, not just academics or sports. When your son goes to Bellarmine, he is joining a fraternal order--all Bellarmine boys have a shared experience and they are truly a cut above the others. When you meet a Bellarmine boy, you remember it. The community (think "family") is amazing as well. Our family went through an extremely difficult time and the school staff and the parents org's were truly wonderful, helping us along with every kind of support.. I am deeply grateful.
Bellarmine is a school that gives young men the opportunity to change the way that us old folk live.
This is a great school with awesome teachers and students. There is a special brotherhood that will last forever with the students here.
Bellarmine has given my son a life long education in life. Bellarmine not have great academics with teachers graduating from Ivy League school, Bellarmine also teaches morals and values which is priceless. As a single parent, I needed to have stability and discipline in my son's life that he has become men for others. Thank you Bellarmine for helping raise my son to be the great young man that he is. May God continually bless all of us. Thank you.
Bellarmine is the epitome of quality Jesuit education. As a parent of a son who graduated in 2008, I can say that they did create 'a man for others,' and I look forward to sending his younger brother to Bellarmine next fall. While it is a school that embraces compassion, service, and social justice, no student gets an easy ride. Grades are earned through hard work. An 89.4 percent still shows up as a B+ on a report card (not an A-). In the end, the boys have the satisfaction of graduating with exceptional skills in writing and critical thinking. 'Passing' AP exams, means not just getting by with a 3, but earning a 5 out of 5. Tough? Yes, but also appreciated by students who not only return to see favorite teachers, some return to teach at Bellarmine after college!
Bellarmine is a great High School. It offers great academic programs and teaches every student the importance of respect and tolerance towards many issues. The atmospher is great for both the student and the parent. The performing arts area at Bellarmine is by far on of the best i have seen at the high school level. And lets not forget that Bellarmine has sent out great people into our community, just like D.J. Frandsen and his brother Kevin Frandsen, who now plays for our very own San Francisco Giants...Kevin Frandsen attended SJSU on a full scholarship and graduated with a major in Finance, while still playing Baseball, now only Bellarmine could prep its students to have the full capacity to be many things in life.
My son attended Bellarmine and entered as a shy, hesitant person; in four years he emerged a confident, well-spoken, poised young man. His verbal and written skills blossomed under the traditional Jesuit approach; he developed his critical thinking and inquiry skills to such a degree that he chose a Philosophy major in college. He learned discipline, an expectation that high grades require hard work, and the ability to handle disappointment when things didn't go his way. Bellarmine tells you they will take your son and give you back a man, and they are right. Although my daughter attends a fine girls' school, my feelings for it no way compare to the fondness I have for Bellarmine and their contribution to making my son who he is today. When you meet a Bell, you know it. They are polite, love their moms, and shake your hand confidently. There is a Bell legacy!
Bellarmine isn't for everyone and the farther away your child lives from San Jose, the harder it may be to fit in with the San Jose money crowd, even if you live in Hillsborough. The academics are excellent but if your son doesn't place well his freshman year, it will be hard for him to jump to accelerated or honors classes his sophomore year. It's also real bummer if your child tries out for a sports team and doesn't make it, but for a confident kid who is willing to jump into a big pond, Bellarmine is a great place.
My son is an alumni at Bellarmine. Now that my son is in his 2nd year at SCU, I can have a better sense of what Bellarmine has given to my son. First of all, I'd researched throughout the San Francisco bay area on which school to place my gifted son in. I've looked at schools in SF, the Peninsula, East Bay and Inland and Bellarmine has come to the top of the list, hands down. The curriculum has challenged my son, the sense of belonging, community, the brotherhood 'men for others' all continues well after he'd graduated. I know that my son will always have 'his brothers' through life. He'd so far met other alumni and the instant bond forms as soon as they find out that my son was a Bellarmine graduate. Bellarmine has prepared my son with things that he'd encounter academically and does it with ease.
Top quality academics along with a nurturing and caring environment really makes bellarmine college prep one of the best places to educate and mold a 'man for others'
Bellarmine has excellent academic program. Students can excell way beyond the grade level and their are encourage to do so. Teacher retention ratio is very high, and a lot of them have postgraduate degrees from colleges like Stanford or Berkeley. Bellarmine has great sport program. They lead in many afters school activities. Their debate, robotics teams score highest in state. 99% of graduates attend college. Parents involvement is very high, but not obligatory.
Really extraordinary school. A sense of community that is unparalleled. It is a Catholic school for Catholic families, however, non-Catholics are welcome. Non-Catholic families often feel isolated. The level of instruction is extraordinary. Most graduates go on to the most selective colleges in the country. Last year, 48% of the graduates attended a university that was on the London Times list of the '200 Best Universities in the World.' Bellarmine is the oldest high school in California, and as a Jesuit high school, it encourages critical thinking, regular questioning and higher level thought. About 40% of all applicants get into the school. They have one of the finest speech and debate programs in the country, regularly winning state and national competitions. They have the best sports program in Northern California. They are ethinically diverse.
Very High academic programs and great variety of classes. Teachers are helpful and avalilable. Lots of extracurriculum activities and clubs to choose from. Parents are welcome to volunteer to the degree they can.

An accident involving a semi-trailer and a passenger car blocked a section of Highway 91 between Blackfoot and the south interchange at Exit 89 Friday morning. Emergency crews from Blackfoot and Fort Hall were dispatched to the accident, which occurred at approximately 10 a.m. Officers from Idaho State Police, Blackfoot Police and the Bingham County Sheriff were also dispatched to assist.
BLACKFOOT — If not for the first four minutes of Blackfoots game with the Madison Bobcats on Thursday night, the men in green may have opened the home portion of their schedule with a win. Unfortunately for the Broncos and the large crowd on hand, the visiting Cats opened the game with a huge 16-3 run for a lead that they never relinquished, ending in a 61-46 victory.
BLACKFOOT (AP) — Four former Blackfoot High School athletes have been charged with various misdemeanors as well as felony counts of forcible sexual penetration using a foreign object. Three of the four adults have gone on to college to play football, but two of them have been suspended from their teams.
Dewaine Hill Taylor, 62, of Blackfoot passed away Tuesday, Dec.r 7, 2010, at his home in Blackfoot. Service arrangements are pending and will be announced by Hawker Funeral Home.
BLACKFOOT – Stillwaters Counseling in Blackfoot was notified Friday that the partial care program for children with severe emotional disorders and children at risk of out-of-home placement has been cut by the Department of Health and Welfare. While government funding for the program ends Dec. 31 counselors and social workers at Stillwaters are determined to find a way to continue service. However they admit they will need the community's help.
SHELLEY — The Shelley Lady Russets turned in their best performance of the year on Wednesday evening, overpowering the Lady Bees of Bonneville 56-43 in a High Country Conference tilt at Shelley High School. "Like I told the girls, this was the best team basketball that we have played this year," Shelley head coach Burke Davis said. "We distributed the basketball with extra passes and I thought that we were really patient, we didn't shoot as many ill advised shots as we have so far this year."
BLACKFOOT - The Madison Lady Bobcats rode the shooting and rebounding of Jane Hansen to a 65-49 victory over the homestanding Lady Broncos of Blackfoot Wednesday evening. Hansen tallied 20 points and snared 11 rebounds on the evening and the Broncos just couldn't find an answer for the talented sophomore. "We just couldn't stop number 15 tonight," said Coach Mike Kirkham. "We did some nice things tonight and are making improvements over some of our recent outings, but we remain a work in progress."
Andra Annette Woods-Camphouse, 30, of Blackfoot passed away, Friday, Dec. 3, 2010, in Tacoma, Wash. She was born March 28, 1980, in Idaho Falls to Thomas H Woods and Gwendolyn Cheryl Seaton Woods. She lived in Blackfoot until adulthood, then lived in Washington for the remainder of her life. She enjoyed writing, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Andra will be remembered most for her quick wit and sense of humor.
Dorothy C. Allison, 86, of Blackfoot, passed away peacefully Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010, at the Renaissance Assisted Living surrounded by her family. She was born Aug. 6, 1924, in Graceville, Ala., to Clifton and Laura Ellis. She had two sisters.
BLACKFOOT — The four former Blackfoot athletes facing charges relating to hazing incidents in the past year have been served and are scheduled to appear in front of Magistrate Judge Charles Roos Dec. 23. A fifth individual will also be charged but is not being identified because he was a juvenile at the time the incidents occurred.

Pretty much the point... any argument that can be used against R/S remakes could have been used against HG/SS being made (which they were)... R/S cannot be played on the 3DS (or the DSi...) which is the current handheld. Hoenn is also they only region not to be seen in with 3D graphics among and the only game without the P/S Split which makes Gen III games almost unplayable to me since I'm so used to the P/S split now.
R/S being remade would be a cash-in for the nostalgic and people who haven't ever played the games... and honestly I don't see a problem with that... any main series pokemon game is guaranteed to sell over 5+ million copies anyway so they will more then make up the cost it takes to make them

Rated 5 out of 5 by girardfireman Awesome auto loader
I just purchased the Remington 11-87 26" barrel version and it is a smooth shooting shotgun. I have always been a pump shotgun person until I borrowed my friends semi automatic shotgun. I plan on this being my goto shotgun for all upland game bird, turkey, waterfowl, dove and pheasant hunting.

Not even a good single shot! Jams up when loading and very heavy. You would stand a better chance of getting the birds if you used this frustrating piece of junk for a club. Remington pump I tried worked way better and got the birds. Buy something else with your hard earned money instead of the 11-87. I gave it one star cause you could always throw it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by bigseamonster Very poor quality
I bought this gun because I have always trusted Remington and the gun was on sale. I got a great price but I guess you get what you pay for, sometimes...
About one out of five shots jam. Called Remington, they said use only Remington ammo. With Remington ammo I get about six shots before it jams.
Sent it back to the factory, they said it works as designed.
I am an experienced shooter and have cleaned and oiled the gun many times, same results.
The inner workings of the gun look like they were made from crushed up beers cans and a rusty hammer, very poor design and workmanship.
Most of my buddies shoot Beretta, I wish I had spent the extra money and bought a better quality gun. I would not recommend this gun and I will probably never buy another Remington.

Rated 4 out of 5 by joethefish good gun
very functional very reliable gun. it works best with heavy loads not the super light cheap (rio) dove shells. its also though enought that you dont worry about scratching it in the duck blind, or field, or when using it as a boat paddle because you lef you real paddle at home.

Few people are enthusiastic about paperwork. Especially builders, who typically entered the trades in the first place because they prefer working with their hands to sitting behind a desk. For them, the increase in clerical work that comes with more and bigger jobs can seem more like a form of punishment than a sign of success. But a growing number of small and medium-sized builders have found that they can scale back the time and effort they spend on routine business-management tasks by entering into what's known as a co-employment relationship with a professional employer organization, or PEO....

This 4 bedroom breathtaking Lake Michigan blufftop home overlooks both Leelanau County in the distance and Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City! It is situated halfway between Charlevoix and Traverse City, 8 miles north of the quaint harbor town of Elk Rapids. Wonderful restaurants abound nearby, both in the Village of Elk Rapids and also to the east, at The Rowe Inn, an award-winning gourmet restaurant just a beautiful drive away through the northern Michigan countryside!
This completely remodeled 3-level house is in a very private, wooded setting. There is no road noise here! With over 2600 square feet on three windowed levels, your family can spread out and feel all of the comforts of home. The downstairs has a family room, with sliding glass doors to the outside, a queen-sized sofa bed, and adjacent bathroom/shower, so it makes for an additional private sleeping area. The main floor has two queen sized bedrooms, an adjacent bath, is beautifully updated and has a modern kitchen (dual convection oven and Jenn-air range), open living room and dining area, plus a sunroom off the kitchen! On this level, there is also a large deck off the 16-foot sliding glass doors across the living room looking out onto the beautiful Lake Michigan waters! Upstairs, there is a king-sized master bedroom on the lakeside, where you can lie in bed at night and listen to the waves lap the shore below, a large guest room with twin beds, and third bathroom/shower.
There is a nice sandy beach, with a large deck down the steps to the beach. There is also a firepit beachside for lakeside fires/gatherings!
This is a true 'northern woods getaway!' Several golf courses are nearby (A-ga-ming is the closest), and there are plenty of area attractions to visit, but you can also choose to stay all day and relax at this peaceful retreat on the beach, ending the day with a beautiful sunset over the lake in the evening!
Air conditioned.
Keywords: Lake House
This is Sue, and I bought Mission View Cottage several years ago for my up north getaway. I had been looking all over northern Michigan for my perfect 'up north' retreat, reminiscent of our family's UP getaways when I was young. It was an older chalet style house, and I updated it with new bathrooms and kitchen, bright colors, and cottagey furnishings. It is a peaceful oasis in the north woods, surrounded by trees. It is very private, and it sits on top of a bluff overlooking the lake, with breathtaking views.
I can spend days there and not go anywhere! Each window you look out of offers a snapshot of the surrounding pine trees, or the evergreens, or the water. Sunsets from the deck or from anywhere in the house are fabulous!
Elk Rapids is just a quick drive into town (8 miles) and is like going back in time, with an old-fashioned main street and movie theatre and quaint shops. I love the drive through the farmland and hills, and I take several 'countryside' drives when I am there, just to go exploring, or to do out to dinner at some of the countryside restaurants nearby. The Rowe Inn is a favorite for fine dining! Charlevoix is just a 25 minute drive north, and I love to go there, as well!
When I'm home, I love long walks along the road or on the beach up and down the lake.
I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do!
I had spent summer vacations at my grandparents' lodge in the Upper Peninsula. I spent 5 summers traveling the highways and byways of northern Michigan and the UP looking for just the right spot for my own summer getaway. I almost purchased a place in the Les Cheneaux Islands, but all of the ingredients didn't seem right (there were no cappucino cafes nearby ;-). I drove up and down the farmland roads along Lake Michigan in the lower Peninsula, hoping to find something closer to home (which was Traverse City then), when on a Labor Day weekend I followed one more 'for sale' sign down a dirt driveway. I snuck up around the house and was spellbound by the views! The rest is history, as they say!!!
I have already mentioned many of the things that attract/ed me to this home and location. The troubles of the world seem far away when I am here. I do have wifi, and I can take my work with me when I stay there. I oftentimes get more work done in this setting than when I'm interrupted in the office all day! :-)
There is absolutely no noise (highway or otherwise). I have awakened in the middle of the night and seen the moon out over the water. I can lie in bed and hear the waves lapping the shore and the wind in the pine trees. What can I say? It's my 'bliss'....

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Two teams that have caught fire at the end of the season square off tonight in Winfield with a Class AAA state tournament berth on the line.
Cabell Midland (22-10), the No. 6 team in the Gazette's state ratings, visits Winfield (15-16) at 6:30 in the Region 4 finals.
The Knights, who knocked off top-ranked Hurricane 1-0 in Monday's regional semifinals, bring a nine-game win streak into the game, while the upstart Generals have won five of their last six, including a 5-0 blanking of No. 9 Logan on Monday.
"Midland is a lot like us,'' said Winfield coach Will Isaacs. "They put the ball in play, they like to bunt and run the bases. They're not afraid to bunt with one out or two outs and they play defense. I really like how Midland plays, and we try to be the same.''
The Knights began the season 2-5 but have rebounded to again become one of the state's top teams. Part of the reason for the slow start may have been the fact that the returning cast included just four seniors.
"We played good off and on,'' Midland coach Tracy Brumfield said of the early problems. "We'd play good for three or four games, then all of a sudden we had no clue.
"This is one of the closest groups of kids we've had here. This group does everything together and as the season went on it helped them get better. We told them it matters at the end of the season and you want to learn from your mistakes as you go on. Keep peaking and hopefully we won't make those same mistakes, and they bought into it.''
The two teams have met twice this season, with hot-starting Winfield winning the first meeting 8-2 and the Knights capturing a 10-0 victory the second time around.
The Generals have recovered from losing ace pitcher Mason Dillon during the first half of the season to stand just one win away from a spot in the May 30-June 1 state tournament at Power Park.
"What more could you ask for?'' Isaacs said. "With the changes we had in our team about a third of the way through the season and the adversity that we had, but to get one game from getting to the state tournament? We just want to come out, have a good practice and compete and try to be us - not try to do too much. This is what athletics is about, being able to overcome some adversity, get better as the season goes on and have a chance. And that's all you can ask for.

Tropical Palms Resort and Campground
[ 5/10 ]
We stayed here when we went to Disney World. Upon arriving I was really aggravated. We booked a premium site but they did not give us a site number upon booking. So when we got there, there we no more premium sites available. I couldn't understand how we could not get one if that's what we booked 8 months in advance. We were downgraded but refunded the difference. The campground was OK, it had a nice pool. I would not stay there for a true camping trip, but we only stayed there at night as we were at Disney World all day.

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park
[ 10/10 ]
We've camped here 4 times in the past year. This is one of our favorite parks. 2 playgrounds, and a water playground. Some of the sites along the lake have a private pier. There are 3 nature trails that we LOVE bike riding on. There is no cell phone reception anywhere in the park. There is one place where you can get limited service (1-2 bars) if you go in the woods. Make sure you have what you need when you go. There's a small store about 10 miles from the park but the bigger store is about 30 miles away.

March 21, 2002
Today we resume our FBI oversight hearings that began last summer with a focus on the FBI's readiness to deal with the law enforcement challenges of today as well as tomorrow. These hearings are vital because, as we begin this new millennium, the FBI faces unprecedented challenges and also wields unprecedented power. With the stakes so high for the American people, it is the Committee's responsibility to ensure that the FBI is as great as it can be, and this series of bipartisan FBI oversight hearings is a fundamental part of the process.
The Inspector General's Findings
Specifically, today we consider the FBI's belated production -- and, as the important and thorough report by the Inspector General revealed this week - also the destruction of documents in the Oklahoma City bombing case. Even more troubling is the report's conclusion that senior FBI personnel failed to notify either the prosecutors on the case or high-ranking Justice Department officials, including the current FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was then serving as the acting deputy attorney general, about the belated document production problems until one week before the scheduled execution date for Timothy McVeigh.
Significantly, the Inspector General's report revealed that the destruction of relevant FBI documents was not disclosed to the court, the prosecutors on the case, or the defense until after the execution took place. I agree with the conclusion in the Inspector General's report that "the court and defense counsel should have been informed of the FBI's destruction of documents, in addition to being given the belated documents, while McVeigh's stay of execution was being litigated." (report, p. 173). It is unlikely that any of the destroyed documents, if produced, would have changed the outcome of the case, but that does not excuse the FBI's conduct. The observations of the presiding judge in the case about the FBI's conduct are illuminating: He described the FBI as "an undisciplined organization or organization that is not adequately controlled or that can't keep track of its information."(Id., at 131). Yet, in denying the request for a stay of execution, he noted that "It is the function of others to hold the FBI accountable for its conduct here, as elsewhere." (Id.).
This report raises three significant issues for this Committee's review. First, there are structural and management problems at the FBI which need fixing. You cannot blame a computer or a filing system when senior FBI agents in charge of the Oklahoma City bombing case are aware of document production problems almost five months before the scheduled execution. FBI headquarters officials were also aware nearly three months before the scheduled execution, yet did not disclose these problems to the FBI Director, to senior Justice Department officers, or to prosecutors on the case until a week before the scheduled execution. This appears to be yet another example that the "circle the wagons" mentality has been alive and well in parts of the FBI. When you learn about a problem, you cannot bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away. Efforts to contain a problem under a cloak of secrecy have a tendency to aggravate the problem. This Committee will look to Director Mueller to consider appropriate administrative action against the FBI managers who did not promptly tell FBI headquarters, Justice Department officials, and the prosecutors on the case about the document problems.
The silver lining in the Inspector General's report is the conduct of two lower-level employees, who, in contrast to the managers, did the right thing here. The FBI financial analyst and the intelligence research specialist who first discovered the document production problem in January 2001 promptly informed their superiors in the chain of command, but did not go around them. As the report notes, "the FBI could do well to use this as an opportunity to help remedy a long-standing FBI problem - the belief among FBI employees that bringing problems to management's attention only results in problems for the employee." (Id., p. 139).
Second, the information management and technology problems at the FBI substantially contributed to the belated document production. While we all are relieved that the Inspector General found no intentional misconduct, the report documents a number of fundamental flaws in the handling of information by the FBI that contributed to the failure to produce documents in the Oklahoma City bombing case: "antiquated and inefficient computer systems;" "inattention to information management;" "inadequate quality control systems;" misfiling, mislaying or losing documents by FBI personnel; failure by field offices to follow instructions and respond to leads; inaccurate and misleading communications among FBI offices; and a system and procedures for handling documents that "was -- and still is -- inordinately cumbersome and badly in need of change." This litany of problems is startling, and I am pleased to give the FBI an opportunity today to tell us about what the FBI is doing to address these problems.
We all appreciate the efforts of Director Mueller to correct the management and information management problems at the FBI, and I hope he appreciates the fact that congressional involvement can help achieve constructive change. In the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act passed in January, Congress gave the FBI $745 million, with more than $417 million of that dedicated to computer and information technology. Congress is poised in this year's budget process to give the FBI another $245 million. That would amount to a billion- dollar infusion of funds into the FBI, or a 25 percent budget increase since September 11. Just throwing more money at, and granting increased powers to, the FBI, without focusing on and fixing the management and information technology problems that exist, is a certain prescription for future failures - and one that this Committee is no longer willing to write.
Finally, we have to apply the lessons of Oklahoma City to the new challenges facing the FBI in fighting terrorism. The management and document handling flaws documented in the Inspector General report are chilling and raise the critical question of whether the same flaws hampered the FBI's sharing of counterterrorism information before the September 11 terrorist attacks. It is fair to conclude that the FBI does not know what it knows. How, then, can it effectively analyze or share critical information? That is simply unacceptable when this country faces the threat of terrorist attacks.
Legislative Action Is Necessary
The Inspector General's report demonstrates the need for enactment of S.1974, the Leahy-Grassley FBI Reform Act, to charter the authority of the Justice Department's Inspector General to review allegations of FBI misconduct and to strengthen FBI information management and technology and to protect FBI whistleblowers. Prior recommendations by the Inspector General in three separate reports on information management improvements were not acted upon by the FBI. Our legislation would require the Attorney General to report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on steps being taken to implement a 10-point plan for FBI information technology -- ensuring that, this time, the recommendations are not disregarded.
Continued Oversight Is Important
The need for sustained, bipartisan oversight is clear from this week's report as well as from last week's delivery by the Immigration and Naturalization Service of visa confirmations for two of the terrorists who were responsible for the September 11 attacks. The President and the Attorney General recognize the problem, and the Attorney General, yet again, has directed the Inspector General to initiate an inquiry. Judge Webster is completing his evaluation of FBI security in the wake of the Hanssen espionage disaster. Deputy Attorney General Thompson is conducting an independent review of FBI management, and Director Mueller has already started reorganizing the Bureau. We intend to hear from Judge Webster, Deputy Attorney General Thompson, and Director Mueller later this Spring.
Special reports, reform legislation and bigger budgets are important, but they are no substitute for sustained, focused and bipartisan Congressional oversight. That is why Senator Hatch and I have jointly requested additional resources to carry out the Judiciary Committee's oversight duties of the law enforcement agencies whose missions - all the more since September 11 - are so important to the American people, to our civil liberties, to our public safety and to our national security.

Question 1: May a fuel fill pipe opening be placed above the passenger floor level if it is not physically within the passenger compartment?
Guidance: Yes. In addition, the fill pipe may intrude into the passenger compartment as long as the fill pipe opening complies with §393.65(b)(4), and the fill pipe is protected by a housing or covering to prevent leakage of fuel or fumes into the passenger compartment.
Question 2: Must a motor vehicle that meets the definition of a ''commercial motor vehicle'' in §390.5 because it transports hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171-180) comply with the fuel system requirements of Subpart E of Part 393, even though it has a gross vehicle weight rating (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)) of 10,000 pounds or less?
Guidance: No. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (developed and issued by the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration) FMVSS No.301 contains fuel system integrity requirements for passenger cars and multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses that have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less and use fuel with a boiling point above 0 deg. Celsius (32 deg. Fahrenheit). Subpart E of part 393 was issued to provide fuel system requirements to cover motor vehicles with a GVWR of 10,001 or more pounds. The fuel systems of placarded motor vehicles with a GVWR of less than 10,001 pounds are adequately addressed by FMVSS No. 301 and compliance with subpart E of part 393 would be redundant. However, commercial motor vehicles that are not covered by FMVSS No. 301 must continue to comply with subpart E of part 393.

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed veteran catcher Henry Blanco to a minor-league contract, according to Baseball America.
Blanco, 42, had a batting line of .142/.228/.246 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 134 at-bats over 50 games combined with the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners this year. He also played for the Diamondbacks in 2011-12.
Blanco has a shot to back up starter Miguel Montero next year.
