vacation rental description
Hilltop Log Lodge is one of the more expensive rentals in the Traverse City area, as the owners have created something out-of-the-ordinary for its guests. The intent is to put together a special experience in a rustic yet refined lodge environment.
Lodge Amenities: Besides the spectacular views over West Bay, Power Island, Old Mission and Traverse City, there is the spaciousness of 8000 square feet and the uniqueness of this hand-built lodge. Inside this hilltop fortress of a home and underneath the massive, handpeeled timbers of its roof structure, all has been outfitted with plush towels, great bedding, handmade furnishings, and original artwork. Four of its five bedrooms are suites (each with a private bath) providing comfort and solitude for groups, couples, and families. There are numerous sitting rooms, lofts, and a den for quiet reading, relaxing and movies. The sound system throughout the house joins the guests together wherever they may be inside - as well as on the lawn and the bayside porch. There are hundreds of CDs in the house collection as well as I-Pod hookup. The giant High Definition plasma TV in the Game Room has become the spot for some guests to watch movies or sports, while enjoying pool or ping-pong without disturbing the rest of the lodge. Others prefer to retreat to the quieter, tucked-away office to check email, although WI-FI provides coverage to most areas in the lodge.
Accommodations: A maximum of 15 people can be lodged comfortably in the 5 bedrooms (there are 2 king suites, 2 queen bedroom suites, 1 bedroom with a queen bed, a loft with a queen bed and 1 twin hickory beds and a den with 2 twin hickory beds).
The Kitchen: This space is designed for entertaining with a professional gas range and double ovens, all overseen by a curved granite bar for guests to sit and enjoy a glass of wine while dinner is prepared. There is a second dishwasher in the pantry near the greatroom, and this space doubles as the coffee bar and upstairs wine bar. For convenience, the cupboards are stocked with basic foodstuffs, and there is a full set of good knives, a wok and quality cookware to use on the Viking range. With a shelf of cookbooks to peruse, it is time to try something new in this fun kitchen... grilling pizza is one thing that we have enjoyed this year. A powerful gas grill stands just outside adjacent to the kitchen.
Dining at the Lodge: The evening meal is best served on snow-white dinnerware sitting at the handmade, expansive cottonwood table in the greatroom. Linen napkins, candles, subtle lighting, a crackling wood fire, chilled music, a moonlight view over the bay all combine to make the evening meal here a most memorable experience. There are other tables inside and outside on the covered bayside porch for the informal times. Full sets of glassware stock both the upstairs pantry as well as the lower bar in the game room.
Morning at the Lodge: This is the best of times. The sun rises over the the bay and tints the log beams to an orange hue. This quiet perch, secluded from the breezes and with sunlight reflecting off the water down below, warms up first and is perfect for early morning coffee. Guests can linger on the porch swing watching the birds awaken among the treetops, all accompanied by the sound of seagulls or an occasional eagle down below over the bay. In the pantry all is set for perfect coffee with a French Press as well as two standard coffeemakers.
Evening at the Lodge: Many guests enjoy lounging on the south lawn watching the reflected light over the bay and Old Mission Peninsula. Others prefer the entry porch, just sitting on the limestone steps catching the last of the sun as it sets behind the trees and meadows to the west.
The Setting: Treetop privacy and an expansive bay view highlight this distinguished property. In addition, there is over 200' of private water frontage and a dock, making this a most significant combined waterfront/view property in the Grand Traverse area. The lodge sits on 5 very private acres with unobstructed views across 10 miles of Grand Traverse Bay to the twinkling lights of Traverse City in the evening. Leelanau is Michigan Wine Country, and Hilltop Log Lodge is at the heart of it, with 5 wineries within walking/biking distance.
The Waterfront: The public boat launch at the bottom of the hill is quite handy for those who want to fish or ski the crystal waters of West Bay and keep their boat trailered. Following the winding path down the hill to the waterfront, there is swimming and occasional fishing off the dock. The beach is rocky and the dock long; this is the lee side of the bay. Kayaks fit perfectly here in the shallow waters among the reeds and rocks of West Grand Traverse Bay. It takes about an hour to kayak to Power Island.
A Special Time at the Lodge: If there is something unique or special required for a guest visit, the owners will arrange a caterer, a chef, decorations for a holiday, shopping, tour and concierge service, as well as cleaning. This is an ideal place for a significant birthday dinner, a pre-wedding party or just a place to escape. Larger parties need pre-approval.
The website features more photos to give a perspective of the property, the rooms of the lodge, and of course, the extraordinary views. Please call or email Richard or Jeff for the address or for any questions.

Spring Breakers
3 out of 5 Stars
Director • Harmony Korine
Starring • Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, James Franco
Rated • R
Recommended to • Fans of Harmony Korine's distain and obsession with teenagers and young adults throwing caution to the wind for one glorious weekend.
Candy, (Vanessa Hudgens) Brit (Ashely Benson), Cotty (Rachel Korine) and the virginal Faith (Selena Gomez) rob a local restaurant to pay for their spring break vacation in Florida where they become acquainted with Alien (James Franco), a local drug-dealing rapper.
"Spring Breakers" isn't the film that most people expect it to be. It isn't a celebration of teenage stupidity (a la "Project X") and it isn't a tale about the loss of innocence (very few of the characters have innocence left to lose). It's hard to know exactly how serious director/writer Harmony Korine ("Trash Humpers," "Gummo") intends audiences to take "Spring Breakers," but based on his previous films it seems to me that he is ripping apart the whole "live for the moment" aspect of spring break, but, because he loves the uninhibited recklessness nearly as much as he despises it, he can't help but glorify the hedonistic behavior as well. His distain echoes Gaspar Noé's "Enter the Void," but where Noé's brutalizes the audience Korine is inclined to titillate them. It's a strange mix and given time I suspect I'll either come to respect the film more that I currently do, or dismiss it as a trashy celebration of all that is wrong with American culture.

If youve found yourself wondering whatever happened to the inept lawyer who represented you in your last divorce the one from which you emerged with just the shirt on your back and half of your OJays albums dont worry.
Hes alive and well and apparently representing the CIAA.
Even if the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association left the Charlotte negotiation table with its shirt, it didnt leave with any dignity or much more money.
How could it, when it agreed to a six-year contract extension with the city to keep its lucrative for Charlotte, that is basketball tournament there in exchange for crumbs?
Business acumen?
Like you, when I read that the CIAA had re-upped with Charlotte for $1.4 million a year, I figured someone had mistakenly added a decimal point. After all, the last contract was for $1 million. Surely no negotiator with a modicum of business acumen would sell out the tournament for chump change yet again, right?
Wrong. Thats precisely what the perpetually cash-strapped conference did. And moved its headquarters to Charlotte from Hampton, Va.!
Conference Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter had intimated before the tournament began last week that the profitable for the host city, that is conference tournament might be up for bids and she was supposedly set to entertain offers from Atlanta, Raleigh and other cities.
Sharon Goldmacher, a CIAA spokeswoman, told me Monday, though, that no bids were ever solicited because Charlotte proactively approached with a package ... and the CIAA decided to not go forward with the request for proposals to other cities because they had wanted to concentrate on the execution of the tournament that was taking place. They felt it would be unfair to cities to not be available for immediate questions.
So they locked themselves into a six-year deal because they didnt want to wait a couple of days until the tournament ended to entertain other offers?
A strong hand
Uh, OK. The CIAA had a strong negotiating hand emphasis on had because knowledgeable estimates are that revelers leave $30 million cash in the host city and take out nothing but dirty laundry and memories.
Andrew Brown, public relations director for the Greensboro Coliseum, cited figures from the Greensboro Convention & Visitors Bureau showing that the economic impact of the just-concluded womens ACC tournament and the about-to-commence mens tournament on that city is $5 million and $22 million, respectively.
What city wouldnt try to hold onto or entice a tournament that has an estimated $50 million financial impact but which asks only $1.4 million in return?
Heck, even Rockingham mightve been able to match that offer. Of course, the city has only 432 hotel beds since the Wing Wang Motel was shut down by the health department last year, so somebody wouldve had to double up.
Speaking of Rockingham, I once had a younger cousin with whom Id play Ill give you this big old nickel for that little bitty dime. The next year, when he was fixing to go off to college, he realized hed been taken.
When will the CIAA realize the same thing?
Efforts to reach Commissioner Carpenter failed, so I didnt get to ask her why the conference accepted so little in exchange for so much. Nor was I able to ask whether, at any time during the weeklong wang dang doodle, the presidents of the schools and she convened to work on a strategy for survival short-term for struggling St. Augustines University, long-term for the conference itself.
After I wrote a restrained and sensible column recently suggesting the conference forgo its basketball bacchanalia for just one year and use the money its attendees blow on airplane tickets, hotel rooms and channeling the ghost of Big Money Grip to fund their schools, some HBCU alumni came down hard on me.
They should save their ire for whoever negotiated this lame deal. The initials CIAA may as well stand for Charlotte Is All Aglow with yalls cash, because after convincing the conference to accept such a skewed deal, city officials know the conference tournament is never going to leave. Not after 15 years.
Kidnappers often ensure that their victims wont attempt to flee by telling them that no one else wants them. Is that what happened here? Or did Charlotte work a mojo on the CIAA and it forgot how to look out for its own best interests?
One of my favorite country music songs and philosophies is called I Can Be Had (But I Cant Be Bought).
The CIAA tournament, sad to say, was had and bought. For chump change.

Jenna Golden (@jigolden) December 11, 2012
Since Twitchy launched in March, we've been documenting daily evidence of conservative Twitter domination and hilarious liberal hashtag failures. Whether it's hijacking progressive hashtags or launching their own, conservatives rule the political Twitterverse.
Today, Twitter confirmed what Twitchy has been reporting. The #tcot, or "top conservatives on Twitter" hashtag, tops the list of political hashtags for 2012.
#tcot was most used political hashtag on twitter this year, followed by #teaparty & #gop 2012.twitter.com/en/trends.html—
Henry D'Andrea (@TheHenry) December 11, 2012
And it's far from the only top conservative trend. The next four spots went to #teaparty, #gop, #romney and Mitt Romney.
It is amazing how frequently #tcot trends on Twitter. Nothing like it from the left. http://t.co/KY8oPbo5—
Peter Greenberger (@pgreenberger) December 11, 2012
Congrats to all the happy warriors on Twitter who delighted in crushing narratives, mocking the steady supply of mock-worthy liberal nonsense and tweeting truth to power! It's not the only battleground by far, but it's one we won't cede.
Here's to another year of conservatives dominating the online conversation #tcot #gop 2012.twitter.com/en/trends.html—

Café Brera brings a taste of contemporary Italian caffè culture to London. Carrera marble counters, designer furniture & a buzz of activity around the espresso machine gets the vibe spot-on – all that's missing are the dashing men in Gucci loafers. The offering is a superior all-day mix of own-blend coffee, assorted panini (eg. speck, taleggio & radicchio on sourdough), salads, pasta, & pizzas (served whole or by the slice). Best suited to a quick lunch, Café Brera bring a hint of luxury to even a simple sarnie or a takeaway: think truffle oil on your pizza, bresaola in your salad or San Daniele ham in your panini. Come 'aperitivo' hour, CB also makes a fine spot for a glass of Prosecco or Aperol spritz.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Detectives found white powdery substances and a spoon with white residue in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died, according to the final autopsy report released Wednesday.
Houston had cocaine throughout her system when she died, the report said, and a "spoon with a white crystal like substance in it" was found.
"I also collected remnants of a white powdery substance from out of a drawer" and from a mirror found in the bathroom, coroner's supervisor Kristy McCracken wrote in the report.
The report does not specifically identify the substances as cocaine, although the drug was found in toxicology tests in Houston's heart and extremities.
The report provides a sad footnote to Houston's life, revealing the toll the singer's drug addiction took on her body.
When coroner's officials released Houston's cause of death two weeks ago, it showed the singer had lost her struggle with cocaine abuse.
An investigator noted a hole in the singer's nose that was listed under "history of substance abuse."
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said he could not discuss how recently Houston may have used the drug or other details of the final report.
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said the investigation is still open and he could not comment on the findings.
On her final day alive, Houston complained of a sore throat, and an assistant suggested she take a bath before preparing for a pre-Grammy party, according to the report. She was found face-down in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and water had seeped throughout the suite by the time she was found.
Investigators initially expected drugs or alcohol played a role in her death, but no alcohol was found in her system. They eventually ruled her death an accidental drowning, with heart disease and cocaine use cited as contributing factors.
Houston's death came just hours before a pre-Grammy gala thrown by her mentor Clive Davis. She was attempting another comeback by starring in a remake of the film "Sparkle," in which she plays the mother of three girls who form a singing group and struggle with fame and drug addiction.
A trailer released Monday featured Houston prominently, including a snippet of her performance of the classic gospel song "His Eye Is on the Sparrow."
Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system.
The singer also had buildup of plaque in her arteries that can restrict blood flow. Winter has said the condition is common in drug users. The report indicated a 60 percent blockage in the singer's right coronary artery.
The singer had battled addiction for years, but friends and family have said she appeared committed to making a comeback in the months before her death.
"The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy," Houston told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 television interview with then-husband Bobby Brown by her side.

Long time no see WBB community. Nice to see this place is still thriving. Anyways, I have my firefighter CPAT (Candidate physical ablility testing) in a couple of weeks. Basically the test consists of 2 parts, a muscular endurance test and a cardio test. Now the muscular side I'll have no problem with, but my cardio has been slacking as of lately. I know 2 weeks isn't very long at all to boost cardiovascular endurance, but do you guys have any tips? It's mainly an endurance type testing (I believe a mile and a half run), no sprinting or anything. Increasing my cardio endurance should just be long distance jogging right? Would sprint work help since there won't really be any actual sprinting in the test? Thanks for any input guys..
Everyone has a dream, it's those who put an extreme amount of effort, thought, dedication, time, and heart into their dream that no longer have a dream, they have a reality...
As of 10/2011 @225lbs
Squat- 405
Bench- 325
Deadlift- 440
Sprinting, no, intervals yes.
Given your limited time, there are two things you need to focus on- improving your gait (efficiency), and seeing if you can improve your work capacity slightly in the run.
What I would suggest- try to get about 5-6 runs in (with at least two days off before the test... and no runs over 2.5 miles)... and if you've ever done fartlek style training before, this is the time to do it. If you don't know what that is, it's basically unstructured interval training. Go out at an easy pace, pick up the pace to sprints or strides (~85% of your top speed), slow down to a jog to recover.
Most essential things to bear in mind- during your slow recovery jog, keep your head up, shoulders up, stride short, running cadence up (keep it as aerobic as possible). This is your default running pace- keep that form in mind while you're doing your 1.5 mile run... and essentially do a "sped up" version of this pace while going for your test. Those intervals will serve two purposes- to marginally improve your lactic acid threshold, and also to fatigue you to the point where you NEED to find an efficient stride during your recovery phase.
You're not REALLY going to improve your cardio endurance in two weeks- you'll just need to maximize what level of endurance you already have.

Agreed with Alex that intervals are good for improving your pace - and definitely translate to a 1.5 mile run test in my experience...
However, I'd say with the VERY limited time you have left your number one focus should be determining the pace. Pacing for a timed run really comes in 3 flavors, especially of you are just on the line of passing:
1. the pace you cannot go under (or you'll fail - call this your minimum)
2. The fastest pace you are able to keep and pass (this should be your goal pace)
3. The pace that if you attempt, you will burn out and fail (this can be pretty easy to hit if you are not experienced at all)
My suggestion is to attempt a timed 1.5 mile run to figure out where you fit in... find a pace that works for you and see that you keep it - in practice and the test. Anything else you do between now and then will probably only serve to make that pace a tiny bit less painful.
So, Alex... if he DID have more time, what would you suggest?

Panther football fans will be quick to tell you that the very popular ESPN College Game Day crew was in Fargo, North Dakota two weeks too early.
The really big game is this Saturday when top ranked North Dakota State plays host to fourth ranked Northern Iowa.
The Panthers moved up one spot in the latest FCS poll following their impressive 41-6 thrashing of then unbeaten and ninth ranked McNeese State at the UNI-Dome.
Northern Iowa was impressive on both sides of the football--in holding the powerful Cowboys nearly 44 points under their 50 point a game average.
But the Panthers know this week will be different kind of challenge facing the 2-time national champions in their home stadium.
Panther tight end Sam Rohr will probably miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury on this play against McNeese State-- while UNI backup quarterback Brion Carnes is day to day after suffering a concussion on this touchdown run.
Kick off is 2:30 Saturday from Fargo.

Year after year, Congress keeps kicking meaningful income tax reform down the road. Consequently, taxpayers continue to be stuck with an archaic, overly complicated mess that pleases no one – except perhaps some tax accountants who charge by the hour. A prime example is the dreaded alternative minimum tax (AMT). Enacted in 1969 to close …

Indianapolis — State police say a trooper's squad car was struck three times after he stopped at a crash on Interstate 465 on the north side of Indianapolis during the snowstorm.
Sgt. Rich Myers says no one was hurt in any of those crashes Wednesday.
The weather service says about 7 inches of snow had fallen in Indianapolis by early afternoon. Up to a foot of snow was reported in parts of southern Indiana.
Myers says entrance and exit ramps on the interstates around Indianapolis were extremely slick and hazardous and some were impassable because of stuck vehicles.

3 Ways to Make More Money at your Garage Sale
July 12, 2012 | Posted By: Sarah Kuehneman | Categorized in: FatWallet, Shopping
I am not a person who goes to garage sales, but I am one who loves to have them. And having them bring in more bang for my so-called junk, sounds like a great idea. I love the people who live by the old ones mans trash is another mans treasure to me this means getting more items out of my house that I do not use anymore. Through the years of garage sales I have found three helpful steps to putting together a more successful garage sale and ways make more money.
Get the word out- Use social media to let your friends know the location of your sale and also some large items that will be for sale as well. Also ask your friends to post it as their status as well, so that you can grab as many people as possible. There are also pages on Facebook directly for bargaining in your area, you are able to post on the wall of those pages and put the information regarding your sale there. You can also post flyers on community bulletin boards; local area newspapers also have Ad space that you can buy to promote the sale.
Prices- The general rule of thumb is 1/3 to ¼ of the original cost. Most shoppers that come to your sale will also bargain with you to get the price down or give you an offer that seams more right for them. Make sure that you will have enough change, if you have a lot of larger items you need to make sure that you have enough smaller bills to give the buyers. Any where from $50 to $100 in change is a good place to start. Example is 2 $10 bills, 4 $5 bills, 25 $1 bills, a roll of quarters ($10) and $5 in nickels and dimes (only if you have items that are prices at less than a quarter).
Organization- It is nice for a shopper to have items placed out like they would be at a store, so group items by gender and size if able to. Try not to stack the items to high so that shoppers are able to look through them easily. Place books and other small toys in bins or tubs so that children and adults can easily look through them and see what is available. Re-organize your sale periodically though out the day when the sale has some down time, shuffle the clothes on the bottom to the top and make sure tables appeared to be filled and full. Place any large items near the end of the driveway or yard so that buyers will be more attracted to stop by.
From one garage seller to another, these three ideas are great ways to improve your profits. I hope these ideas help you as much as they did me! And also give you a step up from the competitions on those crazy city wide garage sales! Good Luck and Happy Selling!

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

CATEGORIES MoviesThe long-awaited Marvin Gaye biopic "Sexual Healing" has got yet another leading man, with "Law and Order" actor Jesse L. Martin now replacing Lenny Kravitz.
"Sexual Healing" has gone through several switch-ups over the years, and it's attracted plenty of controversy from the Gaye estate. Martin, who starred in the original Broadway production of "Rent" and its film adaptation, was slated to star as Gaye at one point, alongside James Gandolfini (the famous HBO mobster was also producing the flick.) Somehow, that iteration of "Healing" fell by the wayside, later to be picked up by director Julien Temple.
Lenny Kravitz was cast as the golden-throated singer back in 2012, but then Marvin Gaye III got involved. Gaye's son, a longtime friend of Kravitz, made a personal appeal to the "Hunger Games" actor to ditch the role because the story was about the tragic end years of Gaye's life. His son said, "The producers and directors of this film are very wrong and shameful ... [They're] trying to do a film about a low period in his life. They don't even know the whole story."
Kravitz never officially commented, so we'll never know if Gaye's appeal changed his mind or if he's simply too busy with "Catching Fire" these days.
The script for "Sexual Healing" focuses on Gaye's retreat to Europe with friend and music promoter Freddy Cousaert. There, Gaye straightened his life out, left his Motown label, and released his famous album "Midnight Love," whose first single was, you guessed it, "Sexual Healing." Brendan Gleeson is now attached to play Cousaert.
Now that the stars are all lined up and the music rights are a go, filming will begin later this month.

Colts owner Jim Irsay didn't like his team's pass protection, either. On Wednesday, the Twitter-savvy Irsay wrote that he "demands" a better effort this week after Sunday's effort against Oakland. Quarterback Andrew Luck was sacked four times in the win. Irsay, who paid millions of dollars to shore up the protection for Luck, made it clear he expects more against Miami. He tweeted that the running backs, tight ends and coaches all need to improve - and called on the team to make sure Luck is protected better the rest of the season. After losing to Buffalo in the preseason opener, Irsay took to Twitter to apologize to fans. Online: AP NFL website www.pro32.ap.org(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Among the day's many Big Ten vs. SEC bowl games, the Outback is sure to be the one with the fewest big plays through the air. South Carolina has a monstrous pass rush, Michigan ranks No. 2 in the nation in aerial defense, neither quarterback is known for ...
oh okay
Connor Shaw lofted one deep to Damiere Byrd for 56 yards to kick off festivities in Tampa, and both Big Ten and SEC fans alike immediately forgot about Northwestern taking care of Mississippi State in Jacksonville.
This is a good sign for fans of bloomin' onions. Most things are, because fans of bloomin' onions enjoy mercifully short, bliss-compacted lives.

PLATTSBURGH — Two men were injured Wednesday in a car accident in the City of Plattsburgh.
According to police, Donald Tourville, 33, from Plattsburgh, failed to stop at a stop sign on Bailey Avenue, striking a 2008 Dodge pick-up truck driven by Gaylord Garrant, 44, from Mililani, Hawaii, just before 5 p.m. Garrant's two passengers, Richard Garrant, 46, and Dale Flora, 46, complained of head and back pain and were transported by ambulance to CVPH Medical Center. A ticket was issued to Tourville for failing to stop at a stop sign.
PLATTSBURGH — A woman was injured in a two-car crash 5:15 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Cornelia Street.
According to police, Ryan Heron, 22, of Manlius, N.Y., ran a stop sign at Prospect Avenue, and collided with a car operated by Jack Dominie, 45, of Plattsburgh, who was driving south on Cornelia Street with Holly Baker, 22, and Mitchell Baker in the car. Holly Baker complained of chest pain but was not transferred by ambulance. A ticket was issued to Heron for failing to stop at a stop sign.
MALONE — A Fort Covington driver was hurt in a one-car accident just before 10 p.m. Friday, the victim of her own dog.
According to police, Katelyn M. Oldham-Benway, 19, of Fort Covington, was traveling northwest on County Road 42 near Foster Road when her dog jumped from the backseat to the front seat. The distraction caused the accident. Oldham-Benway complained of pain and was transferred by ambulance to seek medical attention.
KEESEVILLE — Icy roadways covered by snow caused a car to skid off of Silver Lake Road at about 3:40 p.m. Saturday, injuring a local woman.
Roger Dubray, 41, of Dannemora, was headed north on County Road 1 when he slid on the slippery roads. The back end of the car spun clockwise, skidding off the road into a snowbank, which tipped the car on the driver's side. The roof of the vehicle hit a telephone pole. Dubray's wife, Andrea Dubray, was in the back seat, and his father-in-law, Roger Lamora, was in the front seat. Andrea Dubray complained of shoulder pain and was transported to CVPH Medical Center.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas says he's planning to run for Arizona governor in 2014.
Thomas served as county attorney from 2005 until he resigned in 2010 to unsuccessfully run for Arizona attorney general.
A three-member disciplinary panel of the Arizona courts disbarred Thomas about a year ago for failed corruption investigations that he and county Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched against officials with whom they were having political and legal disputes.
Thomas is a Republican and he joins a growing list of candidates for governor.
Democrat and former Arizona Board of Regents Chairman Fred DuVal, Republican and ex-Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman and Americans Elect party candidate John Mealer have already formally filed to run.
Republicans Sen. Al Melvin and Secretary of State Ken Bennett have formed exploratory committees.

A Memphis man was struck and killed when he stepped into traffic Wednesday night along eastbound Interstate 24 near the Bell Road exit.
Police said the 39-year-old man, identified as Richard H. Blow, was hit by three vehicles after his truck broke down around 11:15 p.m.
Lizzie Keiper, a student at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, said she was leaving Nashville and traveling east on I-24 near Bell Road when she saw something strange ahead.
"I see a shadow figure. I go, 'That's a guy!' I yell it out in my car," Keiper said. "I can only imagine what those people are going through. He was in the middle. I couldn't help but blame myself if I was the one who hit him."
Police said Blow's truck had broken down on the side of the road, but it's unclear where he was going.
The eastbound lanes were shut down as police investigated, and they reopened by 5:20 a.m.
Officials say there are several critical things to remember if your car breaks down. First, stay put if you can.
"Stay in your vehicle. Call police if you can't get the vehicle off the roadway," said Metro police Capt. Kenneth Walburn.
Walburn said if a tire is flat, try to "limp" the vehicle to a safe place.
"The best thing to do, ultimately, is to get yourself off the interstate - even if you have a flat tire, even if you have to drive on a flat tire for a little bit," he said.
But police say never try to cross four lanes of interstate on-foot at night.
"I was so sad to hear this morning he had died," Keiper said.

London, Paris, Rome and Berlin were all among the top favorites, but it is our own beautiful Grand Hotel, situated on the capitals high street, that can proudly wear the title of Europe's most luxurious suite hotel.
On the 1st of November the red-carpet was rolled out at Indigo Pearl Resort Phuket, Thailand as World Luxury Hotel Awards turned the spotlight on some of the world's most luxurious hotels and resorts. Grand Hotel, Oslo was announced the European winner 2013 in the following category: Luxury Suite Hotel.
The winners are evaluated on the basis of the hotel's product and chiefly the level of service. Tour operators, travel agencies and the hotels guests all give their valuable votes, making the evaluation process fair, impartial and therefore more precious.
"We are of course absolutely delighted to accept this award" says Managing Director of Grand Hotel, Fredrikke Næss, with a smile.
"We have always known that we offered Norway's best selection of suits, but it is especially gratifying to be voted best amongst Europe's top hotels" says Næss.
The Grand Hotel is Oslo's most venerable and elegant deluxe hotel, who first opened its doors in 1874. For nearly 140 years, the name has been synonymous with quality and atmosphere. World-famous Norwegians such as Henrik Ibsen and Fridtjof Nansen made the Grand their second home. Today, we are proud hosts to Nobel Peace Prize laureates, celebrities and heads of state.
"Having discerning guests is a commitment which we embrace! Being the hosts for VIP guests from all over the world requires suites of the utmost excellence and quality. The suites of course need to be fully equipped, have a luxurious and stylish design, but what separates the best hotels from the rest, is their level of service. This type of visit requires an alert and well trained staff, thorough planning and relevant experience. We must adapt according to the different nationalities, ranks, needs and demands. The Grand Hotel has close to 140 years of experience in this particular field; nevertheless, this requires a persistent effort every day from every single member of staff". Næss explains.
The Grand Hotel has throughout the years been the natural first choice for visiting dignitaries, celebrities and leaders from all over the world, but the hotel is simultaneously focused on offering all our other guests the luxury, quality and comfort they have the right to expect from a modern first-class, international hotel.
"Our vision is to offer the best guest experience and it is with this vision firmly planted in our minds that we create new exciting concepts and constantly work on enhancing the hotel's facilities" says Kari Hasselknippe, Director Sales and Marketing of Grand Hotel."Earlier this year we refurbished our Mikado Suite, in the Colour of the Year 2013. This suite offers our guests a chance to find inspiration for their own homes, experience new Norwegian designers as well as gaining a positive and unusual hotel experience. In 2011 all of our deluxe rooms and junior suites were refurbished. Additionally, our two top suites were given an interior boost earlier this year".The Grand Hotel has 292 hotel rooms, including 54 suites.The Grand Hotel's suites are famous the world over!
The roof terrace of the Christian Radich Suite offers unrivalled views of the capital.
The Nobel Suite has long played host to Nobel Peace Prize laureates. Each year the laureate receives cheers from the crowd as the traditional torchlight procession passes beneath his/her balcony overlooking the Karl Johan high street. Our penthouse Millennium Suite, with facilities for private meetings and parties, is a favourite amongst film and music celebrities, but is also ideal for guests with a taste for luxury and elegance.The Tower Suite with its intimate and romantic setting is the perfect place for newlyweds to receive guests or spend their wedding night.
World Luxury Hotel Awards was established in 2006 to draw attention to the worldwide luxury hotel industry and legendary hotels with respect to overall service excellence. The Grand Hotel is part of the Rica Hotels chain, with nearly 80 hotels in Norway and Sweden. As "Good Hosts" Rica Hotels operate on the principle of receiving their guests in the same way that you would receive a guest into your own home.In addition to Rica, Grand Hotel is also a member of World Hotels Deluxe Collection, with its approximately 500 properties in 250 destinations and 65 countries across the world.

Mark Hall is a small business owner with a creative idea.

Hall has been building his business ever since. But he's had help. With stimulus dollars from the Federal Government, he was able to hire three employees.
"Their salaries and taxes were paid by the Federal Government. It's been the greatest boost to my small business," Hall said. "It's allowed me to quadruple my production."
But now, that stimulus program is being cut.
"So we get to collect unemployment. Which I don't quite understand. What's the difference?" questions Donna Collins. She is also employed under the program. She works for a thrift store, and qualified for the program because she has a daughter.
"I had my meeting yesterday. Come tomorrow, I'm done," Collins said.
Back at the coop shop, Mark Hall will do what he can to keep filling orders. But his business will slow as he gets used to working alone.
There has been some talk in Congress about extending this stimulus program. Mark Hall is one of those lobbying for the extension. He says he wants to keep his coops all American made but without employees, and without a bank willing to lend him the money to hire any employees, he says he may have to have his coops assembled overseas.

I love to pack lunches. I am not known for being much of a cook. I try to be creative – but let's just say I have a co-dependent relationship with my microwave. However, there is one culinary duty that I have mastered… I Can Pack a Lunch! It starts with the vessel itself. Every year, my kids can pick their own lunch box. It's a splurge I don't mind making. It makes my kids happy and it provides the perfect backdrop to the contents inside. Whether is Spider Man or Star Wars, I can throw-in some bug-shaped gummies or whip-up some star-shaped sandwiches! Not to mention the note that I inscribe on the napkin complete with a quote or maybe a drawing from Luke Skywalker or Spidey himself!
But for my 12-year-old Colt, this year was different. He is now in the 6th Grade and is simply too school for school – or too cool for themed lunch boxes. Although he is still entertained with episodes of Sponge Bob – he would not be caught dead with the yellow character on his lunch box. No, instead, he opts for a Brown Paper Bag. Yes, a Brown Paper Bag.
What can I do with a Brown Paper Bag?? His peanut butter sandwich has no personality. Even the crusts (which were always a mandatory removal) remain. All of the other elements – yogurt, grapes and a small sack of Cheez-Its – are crammed into a dismal brown house. The personality is gone…except for one thing. THE NOTE. The Napkin Note! At least I have that. I pull out the paper towel (I was out of napkins) and a black pen. But before I write the first word, Colt stops me and says…. "Better Not Mom". I immediately put the pen down.
"Are You Okay" – Colt asks, concerned that he has hurt my feelings.
Not wanting him to see me cry I cheerfully say, "Of Course I'm Okay!"
I put the plan white napkin into his sack and discretely wipe the tears from my eyes.
But I'm NOT okay. I'm NOT okay with it being un-cool for him to read a note from his mom fearing that the other lunchroom kids with laugh. I'm NOT okay with him no longer holding my hand – even if he's scared. I'm NOT okay with him preferring not to be seen with me when his friends are around.
The Good News (cuz I have to have some good news) is that when we are home…he still let's me snuggle. He still lets me kiss his face and he doesn't seem to mind when I tell him I love him. I pray to God that will never, never, ever change.
Although it's not on a napkin – I feel determined to write I LOVE YOU COLT! LOVE, MOM.

All That Remains - Six (guitar cover)
I had several requests to perform "Six" by All That Remains, so here it is! It's not perfect, as it requires some skills that I'm still developing, but I think it came out pretty good. I have posted the tab for this song (in Guitar Pro 5 AND .pdf format) on my website: http://www.killrbuckeye.com The tuning is D standard (all strings tuned down 1 full step from standard E tuning)! Credit goes to Benzie101 for creating an awesome tab that I used as a starting point. You will also find information on my gear, recording method, playing history, etc. on the site.

If you are looking to start a toy car collection, there are just a few things you need to know to make sure your collection is the best it can be
- Decide the focus of your collection. There are lots of different kinds of toy cars to collect. Before you start building your fleet, decide whether you will concentrate on just one particular type of toy car (like Hotwheels or Matchbox Cars) or if you will welcome all kinds into your collection

With millions of people from all over the world listing items for sale every minute, chances are excellent that you will find just what you need here
- Go to garage sales. When people move or their children grow up, lots of surplus items find their way onto the tables at these weekend bargain-fests. Since toy cars are cheap and plentiful staples of childhood for many, you are likely to find some great cars for your collection at garage sales. Find sales near you in your local newspaper's classified ads or on Craigslist (see Resources below)
- Hit the books. The Toys and Collectibles section of your local bookstore will have a number of books devoted to the monetary value of different kinds of toy cars. If you are concerned about the future value of your cars or just want to be sure you're being charged a fair price, you will want to invest in one of these books

A school on Tucson's northwest side was locked down today while police searched for a man who ran away from a nearby traffic stop.
A spokesperson for Laguna Elementary School at 5001 N. Shannon Rd. confirmed the school was locked down, meaning nobody in and nobody out.
No one was injured in the incident.
It all started shortly after 10 a.m. when the Arizona Department of Public Safety pulled over a white Chevy Tahoe along the I-10 frontage road at West Sunset Road.
Police say the driver of the Tahoe took off on foot and headed for a trailer park and junk yard east of the interstate.
A search for the suspect lasted more than two hours, police say.
The suspect was considered potentially dangerous because police found several weapons inside his vehicle, including an AK-47 assault rifle.
The suspect was never found.
School resumed as scheduled at Laguna Elementary throughout the afternoon.

Corrosion Of Conformity - IX
Fans of Corrosion of Conformity (CoC) surely know that the band has been rocking for over 30 years now. And while their heyday was 20 years ago, those Carolina boys still know how to make some bitchin' rock music. After a second hiatus in 2006 that led to a return in 2010 (sans Pepper Keenan) and 2012's self-titled album, the original lineup of Reed Mullin (drums), Woody Weatherman (guitar) and Mike Dean (bass, vocals) have just released their ninth studio album, IX.
What I like about CoC is that their music comes with an authenticity that's hard for new bands to match. But the real problem a lot of people have involves Pepper Keenan, who left in 2006 to play and tour with Down but isn't "officially" out of the band (yes, there's hope for you Pepperheads). Many consider him to be essential to the Southern-fried sound (Keenan being from Louisiana) of the band, having been the vocalist for their most successful album, Deliverance. And while Mike Dean, the band's original vocalist, is no Pepper, his vocals fit the music on this album just fine. The success of this latest LP will have to depend on its merits and not Pepper-era fans. And I think it should succeed, as this is some of the best doom metal tuneage I've heard in a while. The riffs are bigger than a wall of Marshall stacks and the groove is slicker than the bottom of your plate after a mess o' Carolina barbecue. So check it out.
The Bottom Line: Fans of the original, pre-Pepper incarnation of CoC will likely appreciate the return of their sound to its punky, groovy roots. But new fans, unburdened by the weight of a band's glory days, should find a lot to like here too with music that's thoroughly rocking irrespective of its context. So smoke 'em if you got 'em, and enjoy.

Here is a five minute mini mix from Jamie XX of the band of the moment, The XX. This mix originally ran on BBC1's Annie Mac show. The XX seem to have blown up overnight with their remix of Florence & The Machine's "You've Got the Love" (a cover of the hit dance track from Jamie Principle and Candi Stanton). Rumors are swirling that The XX may be working on a new remix album.
For now, you can catch one of the hottest bands of the moment on tour with Hot Chip and JJ
