Houses Of The Holy is probably the most melodic of all Led Zeppelin's albums. The album has full and layered sound that relies more on the band's powerhouse rhythm section of John Paul Jones and John Bonham than on Jimmy Page's guitars. Don't worry though, Mr. Page's powerhouse riffs abound throughout the album, but they are deftly mixed in to create a bigger sound. Mr. Jones' keyboards are found in heavy doses which is a welcomed thing. "The Crunge" is a James Brown tribute that has a loose, funky feel and "Over The Hills & Faraway" is a driving rocker. "Dancing Days" has a melodious beat with a stinging guitar and "D'yer Mak'er" is a reggae influenced song and is one of the few Zeppelin songs you can actually dance to. "No Quarter" is the most mystical and darkest of all of Zeppelin's songs. The music has strange keyboards and Robert Plant's voice is so distorted that is sounds like he's singing under water. The lyrics are Tokleinesque in nature and the song is a mini masterpiece. The album closes out with the thumping "The Ocean". Houses of The Holy has another infamous Zeppelin cover and brought them back to number one.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
If you think of Led Zeppelin as heavy metal band, then you've only heard Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog. On this album, as with each of their albums, they went far, far outside the realm of whatever heavy metal encompasses.From the majestic opening of The Song Remains The Same to the '50's doo-wop fade-out of The Ocean, this is possibly Led Zep's most consistent album. With one-man orchestra John Paul Jones prominent on The Rain Song and No Quarter, Jimmy Page in brillant acoustic form on Over The Hills And Far Away and pulling out a killer riff in Dancing Days, John Bonham dominating The Crunge and D'yer Mak'er (pronounced Jamaica, for those who don't know), and Robert Plant superb throughout, each member of the band is at their peak, at a time before the excesses of subsequent tours began to take their toll.The perfect album to listen to pool-side on a sunny day. Just crank it up and enjoy the magic.
"The Song Remains The Same", "The Rain Song" and "Over The Hills And Far Away" are, in my humble opinion, the best songs the Zeps ever recorded. A sensual bluesy rocker, a gentle acousting tapestrie and a folk song …funky hard rocker, these might not be the most played Zep tracks ("Stairway to Heaven" and "Kashmir" still hold that distinction), they are certainly some of the best. Almost everything about them is perfect, every guitar track, every bass line, every drum beat. It would be worth getting this CD just for these tracks.What about the rest of the album? It's quite good. There's some stuff here that'll make you roll your eyes up, like the silly funk workout, "The Crunge" and the catchy but stupid "Dancing Days." But listen to Plant get down with da riddim, mon as he play some of dat reggae in "D'yer Mak'er" (pronounced "Jamai'ker") "No Quarter" is definitely the creepiest Led Zep song ever recorded. It's so ominous, foreboding and mournful that it could have been recorded by Black Sabbath in one of their more experimental phases. "The Ocean" is a fun rock work out that'll get stuck in your head. But really, they could have just recorded sounds of the bands farting and telling bad jokes and I'd still love "Houses of the Holy" because of those first three tracks I mentioned.Can you dig it?
Imagine turning out four of the most successful and groundbreaking heavy metal/blues-rock albums of all time, only to go on turning out more outstanding material. Very few bands in history have consistently delivered mind-blowing albums one after the other for an extended period of time the way Zeppelin has. Zeppelin had invented the sound of the decade, and by 1973, they were really ready to spread their wings (as if they hadn't already).
"Houses Of The Holy" follows the same foot steps as "Led Zeppelin IV", but the approach is much more easy-going. Jimmy Page's riffs range from folk hooks as well as his classic blues-rock hooks, giving the album a lighter and looser feel. The album kicks off with epic "The Song Remains the Same". "The Rain Song" is a moody, meandering tune, sprawling progressive rock arrangements touching on classical music, jazz, blues, and folk, as well as hard rock. Robert Plant's vocals are soulful and heartfelt. "The Rain Song" also shows Jimmy Page's growth as a producer. "Over the Hills and Far Away" was a further progression away from the band's original heavy blues into more diverse arrangements. The acoustic introduction is a variation of Jimmy Page's own "White Summer," which was highly influenced by Davey Graham's "She Moved Thro' the Fair." The affectionate James Brown send-up "The Crunge," one of my favorites, really adds to the diversity of the album. "Dancing Days" gives you a solid taste of their classic hard rock strut. The reggae-influenced song "D'Yer Mak'er", featuring John Bonham's driving drums makes for an exceptional love song. The song was released as a single and reached the top 20, staying on the charts for total of eight weeks. Zeppelin's spooky "No Quarter" is a jazz, bluesy jam. The songs starts off with John Paul Jones' electric piano, reminiscent of the Doors' "Riders On The Storm". The song jumps into Bonham's hard-hitting drums, then leads into Page's blues-rock riff, backed by an analog synthesizer. Plant paints a picture of creepy images within his soaring slowed-down vocals. "The Ocean" makes for a great closer, featuring a funky guitar riff from Page, into an a cappella, going out swinging.
It's hard to pick a "best" Zeppelin album. Usually my favorite is the one I am currently listening too. "Houses Of The Holy" lives up to the reputation of their first four masterpieces. They took a chance and were unfazed by the spotlight. This album adds dramatic influence to heavy metal, blues-rock and hard rock as we know it today. Don't miss out on this flawless classic.
Ah, 1973: It was the year I was born, Pink Floyd put out the seminal Dark Side Of The Moon, and Led Zeppelin's arguably best release, "Houses of the Holy," also came out. The urgent opening riffs on "The Song Remains the Same" signal great things to come. Jimmy Page does some marvelous twin guitar work, Robert Plant has an almost Chimpmunkish yelp, and we're off and running. "The Rain Song" quickly tones things down, a soothing, dreamy tune sprung from the South Carribean, with strings in the background for further relaxing effect. "The Rain Song" might be Zeppelin's best acoustic song ever.
Like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin refused to releasing songs as singles. And yet, structured pop shines through on the folkishly delightful "Over the Hills and Far Away," the fun rock jingle of "Dancing Days," and the reggae- flavored "D'yer Maker." "No Quarter" contains a dimmer vibe, filled with buzzy guitars, a brooding piano, and Plant's isolated voice coming through in distorted tones, like a man coping with deep depression. Midway through, John Paul Jones plays a beautifully serene piano, only to give way to John Bonham's smooth rhythmic drum kick. The band's cohesiveness is at an all-time high here, as everyone involved gets to subtly show off. There's nothing coy about the next sublime rocker, "The Ocean," which anybody with half a heartbeat could stomp along to.
"Houses of the Holy" may have been Zeppelin at its height; the band could have called it quits after this record and still be assured easy classic-rock status. It's simply another great Zeppelin album that adds to a string of greats. The guys kept their style simple, yet branched out a bit and explored new avenues. Some would even say that all Zeppelin albums after this one were pleasant icing on the cake. Of course, the same thing has been said about Pink Floyd after 1973, as well.

As Tropical Storm Isaac approaches southeast Louisiana, Lafitte Mayor Tim Kerner is asking for prayers.
With his town outside of a levee protection system that he was once promised it would be inside, he's expected flooding from Isaac.
"I don't have any faith in the Corps of Engineers at all," Kerner said Monday.
During a nearly 10-minute interview with WWL-TV, Kerner said Lafitte was set for levee protection until Hurricane Katrina. Kerner said that storm forced the Corps of Engineers to refocus efforts for levee-building, including advancing a 100-year protection system.
Eventually, Kerner said he was told by Corps of Engineers Col. Al Lee that Lafitte would be in the Donaldsonville-to-the-Gulf levee protection plans.
"(They) said Lafitte, Barataria and Crown Point would definitely be in the 100-year protection," Kerner said. "Don't worry. Don't protest. So we didn't. The minute they finished, they said, 'Well we thought you was. You're not.'

Diner Reviews
Had a nice meal. The service was
very good, very personable, and not intrusive. The food was good, but not exceptional."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I came here for my graduation
dinner with a bunch of out of town family. There werea lot of picky eaters in the bunch, but for once no one had anything but compliments about the food! The homemade pasta was absolutely delicious. I had the seafood ravioli, and the lobster sauce was so good I asked for more bread so I could get all of the sauce. The only thing I would recommend is trying to sit outside if possible. The inside of the restaurant seemed a little dark, and kind of had ugly carpets. We sat outside though, so none of that mattered. Overall, I will definitely be coming back!"
Dined on 5/22/2014
The Woodley Park area is starved
for good food. Caffe Paradiso comes to the rescue. Try the grilled fish or the linguine with clams or the thinly sliced veal in white wine and capers. The staff is fabulous. Inside seating or outside seating, this place works!"
Dined on 5/18/2014
The sea bass was perfect. Good
wine choices. Service was slow."
Dined on 5/16/2014
Very accommodating staff, very
good food, and a very convenient location close to major hotels and the Zmetro."
Dined on 5/11/2014
We visit Cafe Paradiso on our
visits to DC. The staff is always welcoming and the food always excellent. The location is also convenient and enjoyable for outside dining. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
My companions and I really wanted
to like this place but the fact of the matter is the food was mediocre. The pastas were lacking good flavor. My friend's pasta sauce (marinara) was tasteless, not seasoned. My vegetable lasgna was goopy, if that's a word. I suspect it had been around a while, the consistency ws pasty and not fresh. The rosemary bread was good. The service was ok, waited a long while to take our order but they were busy."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Visit Cafe Paradiso every year, as
its within walking distance of an annual meeting location. This vsit was not as great as we have enjoyed in the past. The weather may have contributed. Two of us had Veal that we both found a bit "greasy" and not tender. Pretty sure we were mistakenly poured caffeinated coffee too."
Dined on 3/3/2014
This was a perfect spot for our
Valentine's Day dinner this year."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We actually ate here twice while
at meetings in Washington DC. It is a short walk from either the Omni or the Marriott Wardman Park hotels. Dining is generally a half level up, which on cold nights is great, because any cold air entering the front door stays below the dining level. Intimate atmosphere, great service and very good food."
Dined on 1/27/2014
When I feel like a good veal
scallopini or a delectable moist salmon on a bed of soft potatoes, I walk over to Woodley Park and go to Cafe Paradiso. My table mates tell me everything else is also good but I never vary."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Was in DC for business and went
out at 8:39p on a Tues night looking for a decent meal. Looked at posted menus outside and saw Cafe Paradiso had positive Open Table reviews. I was very glad I stopped. I knew I wanted fettucine but not exactly what I saw on the menu. The waiter offered his suggestion of substituting fettucine for rigatoni in a dish with broccoli rabe, olive oil, grilled shrimp and shaved parmesean. It was delicious! The bread had rosemary in it, and with the olive oil, was a perfect started. Dessert was a house made cannoli; crispy shell and delicious filling. Service was prompt without feeling rushed. A perfect meal!"
Dined on 12/10/2013
The waiter was rude and would not
bring the check when it was asked for at the table. Instead, he tried to upsale on coffee and dessert--and I understand there is nothing wrong with that--but then went off in a huff when we said we did not want any and made us wait 20+ minutes for the check."
Dined on 11/23/2013
We had a reserved a large table
for 12 a couple of nights in advance. The reservation was fine and everything was set when we got there. I think our waitress was a little green, since when the head of the party checked in with her, she never really caught on that he would be ordering the wine and appetizers for the table. It was almost comical, because the guests at the other end of the table would keep telling her to ask but she kept going back to them. Another example would be after he ordered the wine she started to pour it at the other end of the table without anyone sampling it. So a couple of dings on service but the food was first rate. I had the veal it was fantastic and we had an assortment of appetizers that were great."
Dined on 10/29/2013
Simple, fresh Italian meals
prepared to perfection. Not a large menu but just enough to satisfy one's longing for the Italian basics."
Dined on 9/23/2013
You can almost miss it, but look
for Cafe Paradiso squeezed between the many small eateries on this block. Great menu, decent prices, and a wonderful warm owner (205-yr veteran in the biz) who takes an interest in his guests. They are professional and efficient in their service, generous in their portions and the chef has presented some delicious combos. Consistently good."
Dined on 8/19/2013
...ambience,and food, especially
if you're hosting friends/families visiting the city."
Dined on 8/19/2013
This place has so much potential.
The food was delicious, the service was great...but the acoustics are really challenging. It was SO loud. Seemed like every little clink of a fork echoed. There was a constant buzz that left my ears ringing for awhile after our meal."
Dined on 6/25/2013
Cafe Paradiso is an oasis in a row
of mediocre restaurants on Connecticutt north of Calvert. The food is good, the service friendly and efficient and the ambiance both inside and out is great. I love their veal scallopine and my husband never overlooks one of their great pasta dishes."
Dined on 6/18/2013
A short walk from our hotel, just
steps from the Woodley Park Metro red line. We opted for the outside table to enjoy the city scene. Our server was delightful, helping with recommendations from the menu, attentive and charming. We loved her! highly recommend the Chilean sea bass - yum!"
Dined on 5/15/2013
We met local friends here because
it was close to our hotel (Omni Shoreum). What a great choice for a spring Saturday night. They had just changed their specials to a spring/ summer list. My sea bass was excellent as was the tortellini. Homemade pasta! Appetizers were good and our outdoor seating was fun! Wine list plentiful. As mentioned in other reviews, the servers were a little too anxious to move us through the meal, but we didn't let them and it all worked out great. I'd go back again, but remind the service help that there is a balance between not enough attention and too much. Take the lead from the customers. Thanks!"
Dined on 5/4/2013
Brought another couple for dinner.
We were on time for our reservation but still waited 25 minutes at the bar for a table to open up. Waiting at a bar is not normally a bad thing for me - but the bartender was apparently use to pouring wine and beer. My Sazerac was unidentifiable and companions bourbon old fashion was served without fruit. What??? For dinner, my Caesar dressing was OK but the sauce on the Fettuccini Primaverde reminded me of box macarroni and cheese. I left half behind which is very rare for me. There are too many other restaurants in the area - try one of them"
Dined on 4/11/2013
The food was excellent, the
service was excellent until they forgot our second round of drinks....made up for it with a round on the house. They were very accommodating for our son. Great place if you are staying in that neighborhood. Pasta dishes were very good."
Dined on 4/4/2013
Service was too attentive/fast,
servers seemed to be at our table constantly, food arrived very quickly, whole meal felt a bit rushed. Food was decent, but nothing exceptional."
Dined on 3/22/2013
Food and service were very good.
Our only negative was they rushed us through our dinner in only 40 minutes- start to finish. We would have enjoyed a more leisure dinner."
Dined on 3/16/2013
Cafe Paradiso has been transformed
into a true neighborhood gem. The new look is fabulous, sleek, warm woods, great little bar with bar tables by the window and the food was an absolute winner. The veal saltimboca was delicate and just the right portion. I overheard other dinners complimenting the wait staff on the quality and presentation of their own dishes. Friendly, friendly, friendly."
Dined on 3/5/2013
The only thing I didn't like was
the wine list ran by the bottle & it did not show any "by the glass" prices. It wasn't as bad because we had a big enough group to finish a bottle."
Dined on 2/17/2013
Delicious food, pasta main course
was not very large. Waitress wasn't very knowledgeable, even brought the wrong wine in the beginning and didn't provide answers to the questions, possibly because she was new? Maitre D' on the other hand was outstanding and friendly."
Dined on 1/19/2013
I had lunch here during a busy
conference. I made a reservation ahead of time and when I arrived they had a table ready for us. The food was good, the service was good but a bit rushed. That's understandable given that the place was packed and the conference attendees were lining up at the door waiting for tables."
Dined on 1/14/2013
Excellent service, well-prepared
food and a wine list containing some excellent Chiantis. Wonderful pasta and excellent calamari; prepared perfectly. Would definitely recommend."
Dined on 11/12/2012
A very nice place for a business

Very good pizza in Greektown. The
menu is varied, and the salads and appetizers are excellent. Worth a visit when visiting Detroit."
Dined on 9/19/2012
The food was really great, but the
service was lacking because the wait person was new and did not know the menu and kept getting our drink orders mixed up. The same drink was ordered 3 times and brought out 3 different ways - how does that happen?"
Dined on 9/8/2012
An "old standard" in this area of
Washington DC. The renovation inside (I haven't been to DC for awhile) was very nice. Good food. Good service. Could use an expanded selection of "by the glass" wines."
Dined on 7/24/2012
We got a free dessert and drinks
because it was my wife's birthday. Staff was very nice and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed it."
Dined on 7/7/2012
As always, good food, fair
service. Waiter switched during meal but the old/new waiter did not notify us of the change. A "carry out" request wasn't transfered to the new waiter. Had to go looking for him to get the check. And it wasn't particularly busy."
Dined on 5/23/2012
We sat on the patio and had great
service from Erwin. Food and wine choices were wonderful. Definitely will go back next time we are in town."
Dined on 5/15/2012
Was very wary of this place after
reading all the bad reviews and I have to say that my experience was the same. The service was okay, better than many other reviewers' experiences but the food is so subpar that I'm amazed this place manages to stay open. my bf and I shared the 'charcuterie tray for two' which is described as fine Italian meats and cheeses ($15). What came out was a small plate with 4 slices of processed cheese (boars head? Couldn't even distinguish what kind), two small pieces of salami, two pieces of old and discolored ham, a bit of green with calmata olives which looked like they came from a jar, and two pieces of canned and tasteless artichokes. Best to stay away from this overpriced, subpar place."
Dined on 4/1/2012
Cafe Paradiso offered a living
social voucher which we purchased and use this weekend. We made a reservation on Open Table and when we arrived we were told that we would be charged $2.50 per person for making a reservation online if we wanted to use the living social voucher. We paid the $2.50 charge and used our living social voucher but the food was tasteless and between the quality of the food and the rudeness of our greeting we will not be going back to Cafe Paradiso. I would not recommend this restaurant."

Wonderful bunch of flowers delivered. All fresh and bright looking, lasting nicely into day 5.(The sunflowers were a little small, only reason for the 4 instead of 5 rating.)

Suitable get well soon gift
By ACee

Lovely tin for the biscuits, however the box only contains 9 biscuits, so didnt find this gift as value for money. Would certainly not order them again for that price.
Very disappointing gift
By Rik
from Ramsgate
The flowers appeared good on arrival but within one day the greenery started to curl up. The roses had all wilted by the third day and everything went on the compost by the fifth day. I am very disappointed as this was a gift for my wife on our 35th anniversary. I usually buy her flowers from a supermarket but thought these would be abit special for her. i was wrong and won't buy interflora again. Supermarkets, though they don't deliver, sell flowers that last far longer at a much lower price.

The flowers were waiting for my mother on her return from the hospital - and helped improve her spirits after some bad news.

All side by side, pressed tightly against one another. Boiled down to little black marks. Hair, eyes, voices, nails, legs, knocks on doors, walls, blood, beards, the sound of horseshoes, shouts. All docile, blindly obedient to the little black marks. The letters run in mad haste, now here, now there. The a's, f's, y's, k's all run. They gather together to create a horse or a hailstorm. They run again. Now they create a dagger, a night, a murder. Then streets, slamming doors, silence. Running and running. Never stopping."

Rabindranath Tagore
THOU hast made me known to friends whom I knew not. Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own. Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger. I am uneasy at heart when I have to leave my accustomed shelter; I forgot that there abides the old in the new, and that there also thou abidest.
Through birth and death, in this world or in others, wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same, the one companion of my endless life who ever linkest my heart with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar. When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut. Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose the bliss of the touch of the One in the play of the many.
Rabindranath Tagore (Gitangeli)

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Toledo attorneys say they
have seen an increase in calls about slip and fall lawsuits. Despite the cold
temperatures, snow and ice this winter, attorneys say very few have a case.
"Ohio has a
long-standing rule that they're not going to require property owners to clear
ice and snow caused by mother nature...that is ice, snow that has just come
down, or refrozen ice - precipitation that refreezes overnight. That's not
going to present a cause of action against the landowner," said Toledo
Attorney Michael Bruno.
Bruno says his law firm, the
Charles Boyk Law Offices, has received calls on a daily basis over the past
month inquiring about slip and fall suits.
There is one type of ice
that could leave the homeowner liable though, Bruno says. Ice that is not
caused by Mother Nature could me the person who falls has a case. For example,
if a home or business owner leaves a drainage pipe too close to a sidewalk and
water spilling out freezes, that could mean a legitimate suit.

Jared Heden added 13 points and Brody Douglass contributed 11 points.
The Saints didn't get off to a great start against Word of Life, trailing 30-27 at the half.
"We did not come out ready to play in the first half," North Country coach Chad LaDue said. "We came out and went on a 21-2 run to start the second half.
"We just settled in and played Saints basketball in the second half."
Former Schroon Lake standout Uriah Harvey tallied 15 points to lead the way for Word of Life. Mike Duma and Brooks Wegant each finished with nine points.
North Country (4-0) is back at it on Monday with a 7 p.m. game at Paul Smith's College.

Schenectady 83
Clinton 78
SCHENECTADY — A difficult start to the game proved to be the difference for the Cougars as the Royals held on for the victory.
Schenectady opened the game on powerful run and caught the young Clinton basketball team off guard.
"We got jumped on immediately," Cougars coach Kevin Daugherty said. "They came out with a lot of energy and they have a lot of athletes.
"They were all over us early and we didn't respond well … our youth was definitely showing. They hammered us for the first 8-10 minutes of the game and were down as many as 17."
After the first portion of the first half, however, Clinton (1-3) began to respond. The insertion of Jordan Knight and Jordan Coolidge provided a spark on defense that helped the Cougars pull with six at the half.
"The turning point of the first half was a one-handed putback dunk by (Mykell) Crecko and the two Jordans coming off the bench," Daugherty said. "They are really quick and pesky on defense and provided the spark for us to get us back into the game."
The second half was a back-and-forth contest, and the Cougars had it down to four points with just 40 seconds remaining, but couldn't get any closer.
"The way we started the game was a learning experience," Daugherty said. "I think we were intimidated by the way they started. But I thought we were the better team the last 30 minutes.
"After four games we are showing some growing pains, but we are improving with each game. With a few breaks we could be 4-0 right now."
Reece Jackson led the charge for the Royals with 23 points. Omar Brown added 13 points, while Terrance Blanchard finished with 12 points.
Crecko led the way for Clinton with 23 points and eight blocks. Chris Miller and Jamie Davison each contributed 18 points, while Kyree Hull tossed in 11.
The Cougars will host Adirondack at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Schenectady 61
SCHENECTADY — Despite shooting 1-for-6 from the free throw line in the final 11 seconds of play, the Clinton Community College women's basketball team was able to pull off a thrilling 63-61 win over Schenectady Community College Saturday.
The Cougars (2-1) pulled down offensive rebounds following four consecutive chances from the charity stripe, taking 9.1 seconds off the clock before the Royals (1-1) could fire a half-court shot that went wide.
"We did well on the boards, but we squeaked it out (Saturday)," Clinton head coach Donna Dixon said. "Katrina Garrand and Emily Decker carried us throughout. It was an interesting finish to say the least."
Following a six-point run early in the second stanza, the Cougars never surrendered the lead in the second half.
Garrand led all scorers with 27 points, while also totaling five rebounds, three assists and five steals in the contest. Decker garnered 16 points, while Katelyn Gates added seven.
Guards Betsy Santoro and Kaila Sanbeouf combined for 29 points in the loss.
Clinton travels to Saranac Lake, N.Y., Tuesday for a showdown against rival North Country. Tip off is scheduled for 6 p.m.

OAK ISLAND, NC (WECT) – As town leaders in Oak Island put another budget together, residents are hearing a familiar story: sewer district fees are on the rise again.
Oak Island has been dealing with budget problems for more than a decade.
A sewer system project started in 2004 ran about $100 million over budget. Originally, council had estimated the cost of the project to be $42 million. In the end, the project's final cost was over $140 million leaving the town in a massive debt.
Now, residents have to foot the bill to pay the town's bond debt which has many people thinking of moving away.
Town leaders say the previous council is to blame, who was investigated and eventually cleared by the SBI for mismanaging town money.
Councilman Jeff Winecoff says it's a work in progress.
"When we came in, we inherited all this," said Winecoff. "So, we've been trying to deal with this the best we can."
The town needs to have the sewer district fee in place by the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1.
Last year, the sewer district fee doubled to $576 annually for property owners of developed and undeveloped parcels and the base fee increased by $5 a month.
The $5 charge increased the base fee to $55.94 a month for each homeowner. Plus, they're charged for any additional use.
Residents like Larry Anderson are second guessing their decision to move to the island.
"They're very high here," said Anderson. "Probably double the amount of any place I've ever been."
Those fees are expected to go up again this year. Town leaders say they have to generate money to pay off their debt.
Sonny Armistead has owned his vacation home on the island for six years. He's thinking about moving if the fees keep increasing.
"I don't agree with it," said Armistead. "I may consider selling. I thought about retiring here, but this is just ridiculous."
Town leaders aren't sure how much the fees will increase. Mayor Betty Wallace says residents should expect "significant increases this year."
Additionally, town leaders say they don't expect any cuts to services with this year's budget. The town also plans to put aside money for capital improvement projects.

As Californians ring in the New Year on Wednesday, a host of new laws passed by the state Legislature will be poised to take effect, including a minimum wage hike, restrictions on teens texting while driving, enhanced bicycle safety and more protection from the paparazzi.
The state is also making history in 2014 by allowing transgender public school students to choose the gender-specific sports they want to play and which restroom to use.
Unless otherwise noted, all laws will take effect on Wednesday:
Drivers are allowed to park at broken parking meters or spaces with broken payment stations up to the posted time limit without getting a ticket from the local city or county.
Anyone under age 18 may not use a mobile electronic communication device to write, send or read text-based messages while driving, even if it has hands-free capability. Under existing law, teens are already prohibited from using a cell phone while driving. An exception to both laws is calls or texts for emergency services such as the police or fire departments.
HOV Lanes
Drivers behind the wheel of an electric, natural gas or partial zero-emission vehicle may drive in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) or carpool lanes without meeting the minimum occupancy requirement until Jan. 1, 2019. Two bills – AB 266 and SB 286 – made this law possible.
The "Three Feet for Safety Act" mandates that vehicle drivers who are passing a bicycle traveling in the same direction must stay at least three feet away from all parts of the bicycle or cyclist. If road conditions do not allow for a three-foot distance, the driver must slow down and pass only when the cyclist's safety is not in danger. The law takes effect Sept. 16.
The law increases the penalties for anyone who harasses the child of a public figure while trying to take video or photos of the child without parental permission. First-time violators could face up to a year in county jail and a fine as much as $10,000.
Students in K-12 who identify as transgender will be allowed to participate in school programs and use facilities that are "consistent with his or her gender identity," according to the legislation. The law is the first in the nation that allows kids to choose gender-specific activities.
The Department of Motor Vehicles must issue a driver's license to an applicant who meets all license requirements but who cannot provide proof that he or she is in the United States legally. A license issued under these circumstances will contain a notice that it is not an official form of federal identification. The law will take effect before Jan. 1, 2015.
As of July 1, California's minimum wage will increase to $9 an hour as part of a three-year plan that eventually will raise the hourly rate to $10 by Jan. 1, 2016.
The statute of limitations for hit-and-run incidents that cause death or permanent, serious injury is extended to six years from the date of the crash.
Starting July 1, the state disability insurance program expands to allow workers to take six weeks of paid leave to care for an ill grandparent, grandchild, sibling or parent-in-law.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife wardens are prevented from killing mountain lions that venture into populated areas unless the animals pose an immediate threat to public safety. The department is now authorized to work with rescue and other non-governmental groups in capturing, tranquilizing or relocating the animals.
For a complete list of bills enacted in 2013, visit the state Legislative Counsel website.

|Community can adopt Vancrest resident for Christmas
|Friday, December 07, 2012 3:50 PM
"We want each resident to receive a Christmas present. Our staff devotes extra time in getting to know a resident," Merriman spoke with conviction. "We find something nostalgic that the resident loves and then purchase a gift for them relating to that special memory."
"Some residents do not have any family visiting and bringing gifts," Merriman said.
It takes the laundry facility an entire 8-hour shift to label all the Christmas gifts, so if possible, Merriman suggests that family members and volunteers bring gifts of clothing and blankets in early to be labeled with the resident's name.
"That way the residents won't have to wait to have their gift returned from the laundry and they can enjoy them right away," she said.

Perry also says he wants the state Legislature to pass legislation requiring physicians who perform abortions to have an agreement with a nearby hospital, letting them admit a patient in case of emergency.
The Legislature reconvenes Jan. 8 and Perry said lawmakers have an "obligation to end that kind of cruelty." He was referring to what he called forcing an unborn baby to feel the pain of its life coming to an end.
Speaking Tuesday in Houston, the governor promised that the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature would spend its entire 140-day session "protecting life."

Newburyport Daily News
---- — NEWBURYPORT — A School Committee retreat scheduled for last night was canceled due to unforeseen issues related to fallout from Hurricane Sandy.
Officials learned Superintendent Marc Kerble was stranded in Florida, one of thousands of travelers whose flights were grounded during the historic storm.
The retreat was originally scheduled to discuss a number of issues related to school leadership, among other topics.
The official agenda indicated school officials would delve into topics such as leadership structure, form and function; the special education budget, the school budget deficit, and norms and operating principles of the School Committee.
Unofficially, the meeting was also expected to touch on some of the criticism Mayor Donna Holaday leveled at Kerble last week, and the school community's negative response to the public rebuke.
The School Committee intends to reschedule the retreat, but has not yet set a new date for the meeting.

Portland — the darling of urban planners — is bursting at the seams, and the growth is forcing policy-makers to expand the region's prized urban growth boundary. Metro, the agency responsible for keeping development within the boundary, already added an unprecedented 18,600 acres for residential and industrial use last year. But the agency says it needs another 2,700 acres for industrial use in the next 20 years.
Now, Metro is studying 68,300 rural acres to find
the needed industrial space. The study includes 9,700 acres that
Metro has refused to look at in the past because the land is rated
as "exclusive farm-use land," according to
Metro's Lydia Neill, who is overseeing the expansion. Neill
says good farmland can also make good industrial land: flat areas,
not fragmented by streams or other natural features, and with
highway access.
But several nearby towns — including
Wilsonville, Tualatin and Lake Oswego — don't want
industry to creep into surrounding rural areas. Wilsonville Mayor
Charlotte Lehan says Metro's criteria-driven approach for
"cheap, flat land next to the freeway" is "a way
to avoid taking a look at the harder decision, which is: Do we want
to allow urban development to continue down the (Willamette)

By Primus Mootry
For The Herald Bulletin
I often use this column to share thoughts on a variety of subjects of popular interest. I do so knowing that I am totally responsible for my opinions, and with full knowledge of the fact that, should I happen to give some advice, readers are fully entitled to ignore it.
The Boston Bombers — Osama bin Laden once said that the purpose of terrorist acts against America was to scare us. Scare us so badly that we would spend ourselves into oblivion trying to protect ourselves.
So far over half a billion dollars have been spent in the identification, capture and nailing of the two young men who used pressure cookers to bomb runners at the recent Boston Marathon finish line. As the investigation continues, more millions — perhaps billions — will be spent.
Most if those new fortunes will be spent all over America. It will be spent by cities and communities seeking to protect themselves against similar terrorist acts at the thousands of highly public events that go on every day. Question: Is there some theoretical point at which we say, "no more?"
I don't think so, and that is perfectly understandable. The problem is that, in a free and open society, there is no perfect way to protect ourselves from those who would do us harm. If that is true, then the terrorists will have won. And, as I believe Will Rogers once said, "Americans will be the only people who drive to the poorhouse in a Cadillac."
Drones — you know. Those are the pilotless aircraft that can find you and send a missile right up your, er, nose while you're out barbecuing. A friend of mine tells me his neighbor wears a football helmet to protect himself from a drone strike. I think that's a bad idea. A football helmet could easily become shrapnel.
Civil War II? — this is serious, folks. A bunch of Americans think it may become necessary to launch a military talk on the U.S. government. They call themselves "patriots."I call them fools. AK-47s don't fare very well against drones and Abrams tanks.
Also, the best protection of American freedoms is, and always has been, an enlightened citizenry. Our battle is not against our government. It is against ignorance.
Cinco de Mayo — from what little I know, Mexico does not go overboard celebrating its battles against 1860s French colonial aggression. Still, among Mexicans in the United States, Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) has morphed into a full holiday with parades, mariachi bands, and programs to celebrate Mexican history and culture.
A Wicked War — that's what a University of Pennsylvania scholar, Amy Greenberg, calls the 1846-1847 Mexican-American War. Although her scholarship has been called into question by many critics, the fact remains that this war was one of pure aggression by the United States.
It is the first, and perhaps only, war in which America invaded another republic solely for the purpose of acquiring their land. How much land? Try half of Mexico. And, isn't it interesting how we persist in devising means to ensure that Mexicans must not enter the border states in the absence of clear rules and procedures?
It sounds like what my wife jokingly says to me: "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine." The only difference is that I love my wife.
Chafin' Jason — the big news over the weekend has come out of the closet he's been in for 33 years. The handsome, 7-foot NBA center recently shared his feelings in an Oprah Winfrey NOW interview. He's been chafing to get out of the closet nearly all his life.
Interesting. Although I have no problems with gays, I do have a problem with people who engage in deception for personal gain. Although I fully recognize the dilemma of "coming out" in a society where gays are vilified, part of the meaning of courage is to be unafraid to say and be who you are.
With public acceptance of gays on the increase, it is a lot safer today to "come out of the closet" than it was just 10 years ago. Before then, Jason Collins presented himself as a complete heterosexual, was engaged to a woman for a number of years to prove it, and kept his secret even from his own twin brother. Was it cowardice or courage? You be the judge.
Have a nice day.

During World War II and throughout the Cold War, the desert of southeastern Washington state was home to a vast complex of nuclear reactors and processing facilities that produced plutonium for atomic weapons. The wars were won and the 586-square-mile Hanford Site was decommissioned in 1987, but 177 underground tanks on the site still hold an unfortunate by-product: 56 million gallons of liquid and semisolid nuclear and chemical waste.
The waste, if left untreated, poses a serious threat to the Columbia River, surrounding communities, and millions of residents downstream in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The challenge of removing and preparing the waste for long-term safe storage cannot be overstated, as 1 million gallons of radioactive waste have already leaked into the environment. None of the tanks isleaking today, but each requires constant maintenance—and all are corroding.
In 2001, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded a contract to Bechtel to bring its expertise to this first-of-a-kind task. It wasn't just innovative design and construction that the DOE was looking for. With its history as the nation's leading commercial nuclear construction contractor and years of experience safely managing other government cleanups—including the DOE's own Savannah River Site in South Carolina—Bechtel offered a sound safety and quality culture, a crucial complement to its ability to devise a safe treatment method.
Proven and prudent design
When operational, the Hanford Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) will blend the radioactive waste with glass-forming materials and heat the mixture to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit by means of a a process called vitrification. The molten material will be poured into stainless steel canisters to cool and solidify. In this form, the waste will remain stable and impervious to the environment so its radioactivity can safely dissipate over hundreds to thousands of years.
In keeping with standard industry transparency and peer review processes, Bechtel's design for the "vit plant" has been reviewed by hundreds of experts from government, academia, national laboratories, and the nuclear industry. The experts have validated that Bechtel's design could effectively treat the vast majority of the waste.
Bechtel continues to update its design to address the results of ongoing reviews and to incorporate updated technologies. The complexity of the waste presents unprecedented challenges, so Bechtel continues testing and working with project and independent experts to resolve technical issues and confirm safety and quality throughout design, construction, and operation.
Safety and quality first
Bechtel has long cultivated a strong quality culture on all of its projects, built on leadership, employee engagement, and organizational learning. The company strives to be sure that everyone on every project is comfortable raising safety and quality concerns at any time.
Because it is one of the most transparent, intensely reviewed programs of its type, Bechtel has engaged leading outside experts to review its Nuclear Safety and Quality Culture at WTP. The reviews have found that WTP employees are aware of and frequently use the company's many programs and resources for raising, evaluating, and addressing safety and quality concerns. Bechtel strives to continuously improve its safety and quality culture.
The right choice for WTP
Cleaning up the Hanford site is one of the most important public works projects in the history of the U.S. and will help write the final chapter of the Cold War era. With its quality, safety, and design know-how, no company is better equipped for the challenge than Bechtel.

Florida Arts License Plate
The Florida Arts License Plate Program was created by the Legislature in 1994. Funds collected through the sale of these specialty plates are distributed to the counties where the plates are sold and are used to support arts organizations, programs, and activities within that county.
Each county must designate a recipient organization to administer funds that support arts activities within that county.
During the 2003 legislative session, Senate Bill 1954 passed, removing the Department of State from the revenue flow cycle for the Florida Arts License Plate Program. As a result of the legislation, counties will receive money directly from the Department of Highway, Safety and Motor Vehicles, allowing for a much quicker disbursement of funds.
You can download a high quality image of the Florida Arts License Plate (.tif, 3.78MB).
How to Participate
Want to purchase a Florida Arts License Plate? You can find your local tag agency using this list of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Office Locations by county.
More Information
For more information about the administration of this program, contact the Specialty License Plate office at 850.617.3870.
For more information about the distribution of funds from this program you can:

Mexican Rice Casserole
This is an adaptation of an arroz con pollo recipe from the great Rick Bayless book 'Mexican Everyday.' The addition of zucchini makes it more of a complete one-pot dinner, and the seasoning has been significantly reduced in the interest of kid-friendliness. Smoked paprika and ancho chile powder make a smoky, subtle dish -- but by all means, substitute the chile powder you've got.
Active time: 25 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 1-1 1/2 pounds)
kosher salt
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 white onion, chopped
2 medium zucchini, diced
1 cup rice
4 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed through a garlic press
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salsa and sour cream for serving
- Heat the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken first with salt and then with half the chile powder and half the smoked paprika. Sauté the chicken for 3 minutes, or until well browned, then flip and brown the other side -- another 2-3 minutes. Remove them to a cutting board to cool. It won't be cooked through yet, and that's fine.
- In the remaining oil, sauté the onion, zucchini, and rice for 5 or so minutes until the onion starts to get translucent and the rice starts to get opaque. Stir in the garlic and the rest of the chile powder and paprika and sauté for another minute or two, then add the broth and 1 teaspoon of salt and stir well. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Slice or dice the chicken and add it to the pot with the beans, then recover and cook another 12 minutes.
- Now turn off the heat, stir in the cilantro, and let the pot stand, covered for 10 minutes to finish cooking the rice.
- Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Delhi High has a new volleyball coach for the 2014 season. Valley local, Lauren Ruell, who graduated from Buhach Colony in 2005 and then went on to play volleyball at Merced Junior College, is the Hawks' new head coach.
There is an undercover softball stud in the area, her name is Alyssa Stockton. The Delhi athlete has become a top college prospect in not only the area but also the state.
Eight players from three local schools-Turlock, Pitman and Hilmar-took to the field on Friday night for one last time to shine under the Friday Night Lights.
It is never too early to begin evaluating your upcoming basketball team.
The 29th annual North/South Rotary All-Star Football game will include players from Turlock, Pitman and Hilmar High.
It was a pitching battle in the 25th annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball Classic at John Thurman Field on Saturday where the East squad was able to notch a 5-0 win over the West.
TRACY – Just like in 2013, Saturday's 41st annual Lions Club All-Star Football Game at Tracy High's Wayne Schneider Stadium came down to a field-goal attempt on the last play. Unlike 2013, the defense was able to defend the attempt and the South did not get the win this time as the kick was blocked ending the game in a 21-21 tie, running the series record to 24-15-2 in favor of the North.
Turlock athletes will be well represented at the annual Stanislaus County All Star baseball game today at John Thurman Field in Modesto.

The Turlock High baseball team did something that they have failed to do in three of the past four seasons-beat St. Mary's in the playoffs-and on Monday history was made for the Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Division I South CIF Sac-Joaquin bracket.
