About the Scheme
The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) is a long term commitment by the Australian Government to investors prepared to build affordable rental housing.
NRAS seeks to address the shortage of affordable rental housing by offering tax-free financial incentives to the business sector and not for profit housing providers to build and rent affordable dwellings. Through the provision of the tax incentive, NRAS will:
- increase the supply of new affordable rental housing;
- reduce rental costs for low and moderate income households; and
- encourage large scale investment and innovative management of affordable housing.
The incentive, payable either as a grant or refundable tax offset, is paid annually for up to 10 years. The investor must rent eligible dwellings to low and moderate income households at a rate that is at least 20 per cent below prevailing market rates.
The Australian Government is committed to stimulating the construction of 50,000 high quality homes and apartments. Up to 35,000 new dwellings will be supported in the years up to 2014-15, with a further 15,000 dwellings to be supported beyond 2014-15.
NRAS is not a public housing program; it is a tax incentive to induce more private investment in the lower price range of the residential construction market.
NRAS tenants are typically key workers such as childcare workers, nurses, police officers, fire-fighters and paramedics. In addition to their salary or wages, many NRAS tenants may be eligible for Commonwealth Rent Assistance, a fortnightly payment that assists with rent costs.
It is estimated that 1.5 million Australian households are currently eligible to rent NRAS properties, ensuring a strong ongoing demand for NRAS properties and a large pool for investors to choose from.
A new asset class
NRAS is a new opportunity for government, debt and equity investors, property developers and not for profit housing providers to work together to increase the supply of affordable private rental housing and create a new ongoing asset class in Australia.
It recognises that governments have a role in creating and encouraging new markets. The Australian Government has made a 10 year financial commitment to NRAS. NRAS has bipartisan support, and legislation to regulate it was passed through Federal Parliament with the support of all political parties.
NRAS is a new investment program for Australia, and based on the US experience, will take a number of years to fully develop. The Australian Government is committed to working with State and Territory governments, the business sector and not for profit housing organisations to ensure the Scheme's success.
NRAS is well underway to deliver against its target of 50,000 dwellings across Australia.
What is an NRAS Incentive
NRAS offers investors a substantial annual tax-free incentive, called the NRAS Incentive, which is payable per dwelling.
The Australian Government is committed to ensuring the full value of the NRAS Incentive is passed to investors, and encourages prospective investors to talk to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to ensure their investment vehicle achieves this.
The NRAS Incentive is a subsidy not available to standard residential property investors.
The NRAS Incentive is available to investors who agree to rent approved dwellings at a rate that is at least 20 per cent below prevailing market rates, to low and moderate income households.
Each approved dwelling attracts the NRAS Incentive for 10 years, so long as investors continue to comply with conditions relating to tenant eligibility and rent levels.
The Australian Government has no legal or equitable claim over the property. NRAS investors can therefore expect to benefit from the annual NRAS Incentive, rental yields and capital gain.
Current Incentive
The NRAS Incentive is currently $9,981 per dwelling, and is indexed each year to the rental component of the CPI.
The Incentive comprises:
- an Australian Government contribution of $7,486 per dwelling per year (paid as a refundable tax offset or payment); and
- a State or Territory Government contribution of $2,495 per dwelling per year (in direct or in-kind financial support).
NRAS offers great flexibility, with investors encouraged to develop portfolios with diverse dwelling types across different locations. With more than 1.5 million households eligible to rent NRAS properties, the vacancy risk in any location is negligible.
From an investment perspective, NRAS can counterbalance the risk and volatility of equity markets and assist in providing a balanced portfolio.
Financial modelling of the NRAS Incentive shows that it can provide rates of return at levels that are highly competitive with other asset classes.
What types of investors participate in NRAS?
NRAS investors range from institutional investors and property developers to not for profit housing providers and individual investors. Consortiums and non entity joint ventures are common models under NRAS.
Lenders can participate in the Scheme through:
- retail loans (loans to individuals);
- loans to developers for individual projects;
- loans to institutional investors, potentially across different developments; and
- loans to not for profit housing organisations.
Retail applications will typically come from household investors in the same way as regular investment housing loans. Retail loan applications are only likely to be made for homes marketed by an NRAS consortium, who often already have NRAS Incentives allocated by the Government.
Not for profit housing providers may also seek debt finance to participate in NRAS, relying on the NRAS Incentive as an income stream. Not for profit housing providers are currently regulated by States and Territories. The Commonwealth is planning to create a national system of regulation for not for profit housing organisations.
Builders and developers may be including NRAS properties in future developments for which they are seeking project finance. Developers may be planning to on-sell properties to approved NRAS providers, counting these properties as effective pre sales. Where this is the case, developers could give lenders information about their NRAS partner(s), giving lenders a clear line of sight to the investor.
The Australian Government encourages innovation under NRAS - investors are expected to develop partnership arrangements that best suit them.
The Government does not recommend or require a ''head lease", or any other delivery model for NRAS - the appropriate entity structure or investment vehicle is a matter for potential debt and equity investors to negotiate together.
Most entities who apply to the Australian Government for NRAS Incentives are consortiums comprising investors, property developers and tenant managers.
Why lend for residential property rather than commercial property?
Many developers and investors see the opportunity for good returns on a low-risk investment, and are keen to invest in NRAS using the most appropriate structure, including debt.
The Australian Government recognises that financial institutions will carefully examine any loan application for NRAS properties based on the particular project proposal, conditions, surety and the ability of the applicant to service the loan.
As with any large scale investment or emerging asset class, financial institutions should work with APRA to ensure that the prudential standard against which NRAS loans are assessed are appropriate and understood.
The Australian Government supports mixed NRAS developments owned by different parties. A debt portfolio of NRAS properties is arguably less risky than an average loan to an individual property investor, or to a commercial property developer, because the properties are often spread across different developments, and have strong demand by tenants.
Property and tenant management
NRAS investors must appoint a tenancy and/or property manager. There are a range of services that need to be conducted, from the selection of tenants and periodic assessment of their ongoing eligibility to rent an NRAS property to general property maintenance.
A tenancy manager can be contracted on a fee-for-service basis by an investor, or be part of the consortium which applies for NRAS Incentives.
Standard State and Territory residential tenancy laws apply to NRAS properties just as they do for any private residential investment. This includes laws applying to registration and licensing requirements for tenant managers.
NRAS tenants will have normal leases under State and Territory tenancy laws. The same rules regarding evictions, maintenance obligations and responsibilities of tenants apply to NRAS tenants as they do to other tenants in the private market.
Tenants for NRAS properties are chosen by investors or their appointed tenancy managers.
The only requirement imposed by the Government relating to NRAS tenant selection is that they meet a household income test.
Income levels for eligible NRAS tenants are generous, and allow for salary increases of 25 per cent above the entry income limit.
If an investor decides to sell an NRAS property, there are many options for tenants. Many tenants who have lived in an NRAS property for some years will no longer require the assistance NRAS offers and will be either renting on the open market or have purchased their own home.
Some consortiums will want to retain NRAS properties after the expiry of the 10 year NRAS period, and keep tenants on without the obligation of offering discounted rent. Other tenants will be on the books of not for profit housing providers, who may wish to purchase the property or assist in transitioning tenants.
Additional facts about NRAS
- NRAS dwellings are private property. No Government has caveats or claims over NRAS properties.
- Standard procedures should apply for loan defaults on NRAS properties. As with any residential property, lenders would seek to manage the relationship with the investor in advance of defaults, negotiate a repayment schedule and, if necessary, sell the asset/s.
- NRAS homes are often 'bundled' with non-NRAS properties - that is, private properties subject to an NRAS Incentive may form a part of a new multi-storey development, with the other non-NRAS properties sold off-the-plan to homebuyers.
- An offer of NRAS Incentive can help with pre-sales figures.
- NRAS dwellings can be sold without penalty during the 10 year period for which an NRAS Incentive is payable:
- a dwelling can be sold to another investor who gives a contractual undertaking to comply with NRAS obligations; or
- an equivalent dwelling can be offered as a substitute dwelling for the remaining part of the 10-year period, with approval from the Australian Government.
- At the end of the 10 year NRAS period, investors have the discretion to do what they want with their properties. They could sell any or all of the properties, or retain them and revert to market rents.
- The Australian Government has made a 10 year commitment to NRAS. The Scheme is managed and regulated under the legislative framework provided through the National Rental Affordability Scheme Act 2008.

A McGregor man is caught red-handed as he burglarized his second home.
24 year old Justin Holt is charged with burglary of habitation. Police say he stole from a home on 8th street in McGregor on January 13. During that act, a surveillance camera on a home next door caught him walking around. McGregor PD then enhanced the video and were able to identify Holt.
Then on Tuesday, January 21 a tip came in saying a suspicious car was at a home on 6th street in McGregor. Police realized this was Holt's car and scoped out the area. Then police say they saw Holt walk out with stolen items.
"We take it personal when a house is burglarized and so we were putting forth every effort to identify the vehicle and the person in the first burglary and we get a break in watching this vehicle," Asst. Chief James Burson said.
Holt was found with multiple stolen items including a knife and a handgun from the first burglarized home. Police say Holt told them he did it because he didn't have a job and he needed to make a living.

News: Nick Cannon Makes Public Appearance Following Hospitalization
Sunday, Jan 15, 2012 11:41AM
Actor/Rapper Nick Cannon appears to be back on his feet following a publicized hospitalization earlier this month after getting spotted at the 5 Annual BET Honors ceremony.
There in support of his wife/singer Mariah Carey, Cannon took the stage with his son.
BET recognized the achievements of legends in the fields of music, literature, entertainment, media, service, and education at its 5th Annual BET Honors. Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Maya Angelou, and Spike Lee were among the honorees at Saturday's taping at Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. The star-studded evening featured musical performances and touching tributes. L.A. Reid bestowed praise on Mariah Carey before Patti LaBelle left the diva in tears while performing her classic ballad "Hero." Nick Cannon honored his wife with an emotional speech as he held their son Moroccan (his sister Monroe was backstage feeling camera shy). A grateful Mariah thanked everyone for their love and support as she accepted her award. (Rap-Up)
Earlier in the week, Cannon's publicist revealed he was back home and in recovery mode following mild kidney failture.
Nick Cannon is out of the hospital after battling what wife Mariah Carey called "mild kidney failure." In a statement Monday, Cannon's publicist Tracy Nguyen (WIHN) said he's now "resting and recovering at home" and thanks everyone who was concerned about him. She says he'll return to his live morning radio show, "Rollin' with Nick Cannon," on Jan. 17. (Associated Press)
Last week, the comedic actor hit up Twitter to thank concerned fans and reveal getting transferred from Colorado back to his home state.
"Currently being transfered to a hospital in LA. Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me... I will be a'ight," he tweeted January 4th. (Nick Cannon's Twitter)
Carey broke the news of her husband's medical problems days prior.
"This is us in the hospital - role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are. We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C. We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK. I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM." (Mariah Carey's Blog)

A popular western wear business with stores in Weatherford and Fort Worth was briefly shut down because of a federal investigation of the labels on some of its products.
Agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations raided Teskey's Saddle Shop in Weatherford off Interstate 20 Wednesday afternoon. The store in Fort Worth was also closed as agents executed a search warrant.
Although the government spokesman declined to comment on the details of the investigation, the stores' owners said the agents were looking into the fact that some products in the store are not labeled as products of Mexico.
Federal law requires all imported goods be marked with the country of origin. The store could face a fine as high as $100,000 for a violation.
Both Teskey's stores reportedly opened for business on Thursday.

Lionel Messi appeared to suffer a leg injury of some kind after his goal in the 38th minute against Paris Saint-Germain. Despite rubbing repeatedly on the back of his leg, Messi finished the first half but was unable to continue when the second half began in Paris.
Cesc Fabregas has replaced Messi and while it may not cause Barcelona too much consternation today with an away goal already secured, there will be definite concerns for the health of their Argentinian star moving forward. Several Barca players have been fighting with hamstring issues over the past months and the last thing Tito Vilanova will want is another on-going injury problem with one of his key players.
For the moment, we don't know the extent of the injury but clearly it was either bad enough to necessitate the substitution or, as is more likely the case, Barcelona made the right decision and did not want to risk further aggravation of the injury by keeping Messi in the match.

Leshoure ran for 70 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions turned in their most complete victory of the season, 31-14 over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.||||||| Leshoure scored on runs of 7, 1 and 8 yards, becoming the first back in franchise history to run for three touchdowns in the first half. Not even Hall of Famer Barry Sanders accomplished that feat.
The Detroit Lions are starting Leshoure at running back against the Tennessee Titans in his first NFL game after a torn left Achilles tendon wiped out his rookie season and a two-game suspension delayed his second.||||||| Leshoure was a second-round draft pick out of Illinois in 2011, and he is starting Sunday instead of Kevin Smith.
Leshoure is back at practice after recovering from a right hamstring injury.||||||| Leshoure has missed most of training camp because of the injury, but he was on the field Wednesday with the team. The Lions could use a healthy Leshoure because running back Jahvid Best is still out with concussion problems.
Leshoure was suspended for two games without pay Wednesday and will have to give up two more game checks for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He can participate in training camp and preseason games while suspended before being eligible on Monday, Sept. 17, to be on the roster. The Lions likely will have two more players punished by the league. Defensive tackle Nick Fairley was arrested twice and offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath had one run-in with the law.||||||| Leshoure pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in May after police discovered him with pot in his mouth during a traffic stop in southwestern Michigan. That happened on March 12, less than a month after police in a different Berrien County community say they caught Leshoure with marijuana. Detroit drafted the former Illinois standout in the second round last year and he missed his rookie season because he tore his left Achilles tendon in training camp.

CATEGORIES Comedy, New Releases, Tribeca, Trailers and Clips, Trailers and Clips, Movies, Tribeca Film Festival, New Releases, CinematicalHave plans to attend this month's Tribeca Film Festival? Then you should certainly make time to Meet Monica Velour. Writer-director Keith Bearden's film, which is one of the acquisition titles playing this year's festival, will be making its world premiere on April 25th. We've got an exclusive clip to get you in the mood.
Billed as a modern day updating of '80s comedies like Last American Virgin, Weird Science, Losin' It, and My Tutor, this sexy-sweet feature stars newcomer Dustin Ingram (who's rockin' a Napoleon Dynamite-like hairstyle) as a geeky high school grad on a quest to meet his favorite porn star – one Monica Velour, star of such porntastical treasures as Saturday Night Beaver. Kim Cattrall plays the title character, an aging porn star still in the biz.
In the clip, Ingram's character is at dive strip club to see his idol strut her stuff. While he's busy having a nerdgasm over Velour's going-through-the-motions performance (set to the sultry sounds of Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack's Tonight I Celebrate my Love for You ... ), a group of guys at the next table are busy making the prerequisite obnoxious granny jokes.
It's hard to get a feel for Meet Monica Velour based on this short snippet, but I like what I've seen so far. If it manages to strike the perfect balance between raunchy and sweet, Bearden and company could have a hit on their hands. Grab some dollar bills and hit the jump for sexy-time.

With schools, government offices, and most businesses closed on Christmas, it was a perfect day for families to spend some quality time together.
The movies were just one option many people exercised, but with perfectly pleasant weather for the most part, we found folks eager to get outside and play with all of their new toys.
Everyone gets a little stir crazy once all the gifts are opened and dinner is done.
"Les Miserables" seemed to top people's movie list this Christmas.
"Absolutely, yeah, I was going a little bit stir crazy, and I love this show, so I wanted to see it and it was fabulous from the beginning to the end," said Audra Rice.
"We've actually seen the show about four or five times, and it's different. It's interesting to see it all very close up," said her husband Michael Rice.
Cinebistro in Hyde Park was hopping. Going to the movies is many people's Christmas day tradition.
"We have in the past, but I think we're going to be doing it here at Cinebistro every Christmas," said Caysie Romano. "It was incredible."
"It was full, but no lines, no waiting, no jostling," said her mother Donna Carpenter. "Just go in and sit down. It's great."
"I kind of like doing this, yeah, in the middle of the week you know. You can't make plans to go elsewhere, so you do this, stay in town, do a little something special, then go home," said her husband, Winston Carpenter.
For many families, it was time to get outside and hit the pavement, like Francisco Itriago and family did, skate paddle boarding at Curtis Hixon Park.
"Oh yeah, it's a great day, perfect weather, so why not be outside and have fun?" said Francisco Itriago.
We saw Alex English taking laps around the grass, with Azzariah and Evelina Styles, who got new kites for Christmas.
"Yep, they're flying them high," laughed English.
"I have a Barbie, she has a Cinderella," said 6-year-old Azzariah Styles.
In the mist, we got a glimpse of Spiderman, 4-year-old Christopher Cardarelli, who hasn't taken his cape off since he unwrapped it Christmas morning.
"Are you going to be a crime fighter like Spiderman?," we asked him. "Yep!" he replied enthusiastically.
Don Jones was loving his new play toy.
"This is a model 1920's racer, a GBR3," said Jones of his ultra light, remote-controlled model airplane. "It's super light, yes it is."
"Good day to be flying," we said.
"It is, very quiet," said Jones. "Not a lot of wind."
Nearby at the ice rink you could tell folks were having loads of fun, despite lots of spills.
"Is this the closest you're going to get to snow this year?" we asked Trinity Morgan.
"Yes," she said. "Unfortunately, I'm from up north, so this is why we had to come to the ice skating rink."
The ice rink, by the way, is only open for about one more week. It closes Jan. 5.

With its motto, "One Team, One Mission," it's clear that unity is important to the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD). However, without consistent access to the PD's law enforcement records and administrative files, officers and employees had a difficult time staying on the same page.
Category: Law Enforcement
With its motto, "One Team, One Mission," it's clear that unity is important to the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD). However, without consistent access to the PD's law enforcement records and administrative files, officers and employees had a difficult time staying on the same page.
In most industries, being unable to access the right information can be costly and inefficient. But in law enforcement, it can be inconvenient—even deadly.
"Officers respond to calls uninformed of safety precautions," says Elk River, MN Police Chief Jeffrey Beahen bluntly. "They're on the scene without knowing if the suspect has any violent history, if they own any guns – nothing." Once back at the station, he says, the real work began – only it wasn't exactly police work.
"We have a fiduciary responsibility to get value from tax dollars," says Captain Blakely of the Riverside, California Police Department. For the past decade, Riverside has increasingly turned to information management technology, emerging as a model of public efficiency, especially these days.
As Roz Vinson, Police Records and Information Manager puts it, "I'm short 10 bodies – that's where we are right now. Where can I work smarter? If we only have to touch something once, that's progress." (more…)
Time was, when an officer from Ontario's Hamilton Police Service (HPS) responded to investigate a call about an EDP (emotionally disturbed person), they'd have two choices to determine risk factors as they proceeded: either drive back to the station with the EDP to look up past reports – or place a call and wait for a Records Clerk to pull the report and read it to them over the phone. Either way, the officer would be off the street, sometimes for hours, waiting for the necessary information to act on.
These days, however, an officer responding to the same call can pull up reports right in their patrol car, accessing information vital to the safety of the EDP – and the public – using just a name, incident number or other simple keyword.
When Elk River, MN, officers got a call of an elderly man in adult diapers at a playground, sector cars arrived moments later heavily armed with what they needed most to bring the man in safely – information. They had his picture, they knew his name and family and that he was a potentially violent Alzheimer's patient reported missing days ago.
The Eaton County, MI's Prosecuting Attorney's Office has long been recognized for its visionary use of Laserfiche. What began in 2003 as a means of archiving closed cases has evolved into a department-wide embrace of technology that has eliminated file cabinets, saved significant time and an exponential amount of money. Perhaps most sustainably, Laserfiche has improved the way attorneys work. Lawyers summon case information – police reports, photographs, even video and audio archives of 911 calls – right in the courtroom from a digital briefcase. Plus, minimal staff is required to stay ahead of the continuous inflow of paper generated.
Behind this success has been the foresight and follow-through of Laserfiche Luminary Dr. Robert J. Sobie, the county's Information Systems Director. For almost 15 years, Sobie has patiently championed the efficiency of the paperless workplace, department by department, process by process, all the way to the Prosecuting Attorney's office and beyond.
Two years ago, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office in Florida was another local government agency with overflowing file cabinets and the inspiration (and budget) to do something about it. Laserfiche was at first intended to manage departmental records, but was soon adapted to catalogue domestic violence cases and help create SORT, the county's public database of sexual predators. "Being able to scan in domestic violence case reports is important because these cases are very time-sensitive as far as victims support services go," says Commander Doug Waller. "Time is definitely not on our side."
The importance of time is especially crucial to homicide cases. "We only see about 10-12 homicides a year and we generally stay on top of them," says Lieutenant Bruce Barnett. "But the longer a case stays open, the more the paperwork piles up."

Perhaps you're thinking about the upcoming holidays. Often, finding the right gift for a person with Alzheimer's or another dementia is a challenge. Well, look no further. Here's a list of gift ideas to get you started.
- Notebooks/Sticky Notes
Often in the early stages of Alzheimer's or other dementia, your loved one is working very hard to remember something, whether it's an appointment, if they took their medications or who they called on the phone and why. For all of us, it can be helpful to write things down to help remember them. Perhaps your family member or friend would appreciate a few notebooks or packs of sticky notes to keep track of things.
- Date Clock
The Alzheimer's Store offers clocks that display the date, time and day of the week. Knowing for sure what day and time it is can be very reassuring and helpful to your loved one. Since it's always displayed in the same place on the clock, your loved one doesn't have to guess or hope that the television station they have on happens to announce the date and time while they're viewing.
- Pill Box
Concerned about ensuring proper medication dosing and timing? A pill box may be the way to go. A pill box is a relatively inexpensive way to keep track of which medications need to be taken at which times. The box has the days marked on it, and some will have a separate box for morning, afternoon, early evening and bedtime. The box is pre-filled by someone else (often a family member or a nurse) so that the individual knows that if the medication is gone for that time of day, he must have already taken it. The box does require the ability to accurately determine the time of day and day of the week. For some, this may not provide enough assistance.
- Puzzle Book
If your loved one enjoys doing puzzles or word searches, buy a book of them. Make sure they are at her level so she can still feel a sense of accomplishment at completing them.
- Home-Cooked Meals
Perhaps you could bring your neighbor a home-cooked meal periodically. Drop in for a chat and bring a bowl of soup or a casserole. The food and the company will be appreciated.
- Meals on Wheels
If your grandmother is struggling to stay in her own home but isn't able to prepare food or doesn't remember to eat at mealtimes, perhaps Meals on Wheels would be a great gift for her. You can order one or two meals per day, and the prices are quite reasonable compared to restaurant food. As an added benefit, they'll deliver the food right to her door. Healthy food and having one more person checking in on her during the day can help keep her in her own home longer, which to many, is quite a gift.
- Housekeeping
Sometimes our loved ones struggle with maintaining their home. And yet they are determined to stay put. I can't blame them, can you? One way to support them in their quest is to offer your own services or a professional cleaner's services to assist them in caring for their home.
- Cookies in the Mail
Live far away? Bake a batch of cookies and mail them to your loved one. They'll enjoy receiving a package, and it's a great way to remind them that you love them. Add a chatty letter to your package. A word of caution: If he or she has diabetes or another disease that has certain dietary limitations, cookies would obviously not be a good choice. Instead, consider fresh fruit or crackers.
- New Outfit
Ladies, most of the time we feel better if we feel we look good, right? Well, just because someone is in the early stages of Alzheimer's or dementia doesn't mean that feeling changes. Purchase a new outfit that is a similar style to what your loved one usually wears. Your job here is to be encouraging and to give her joy by reminding her that she's important to you.
- Guided Fishing Trip
Does your father love to fish? Find someone to take him on a local fishing trip. You may be fortunate enough to have friends who could do this. You can even hire a private charter captain. Either way, your dad will love the enjoyment of fishing, and you can give him the opportunity to fish without having to worry about the water around him or the possibility of disorientation. The fishing is a gift, as well as the feelings it may provide him of normalcy and accomplishment while doing it.
- Write a Thank-You Letter
This is a great gift for anyone. Writing a letter provides you the chance to say something you want to make sure is heard while your loved one can understand and appreciate it. For example, if it's for your mom, take the time to write her a letter thanking her for who she is and what she's meant to you. I've spoken with many family members who haven't had the chance or didn't make it a priority to do this, and then it became too late for their loved one to understand. So, take this opportunity. A few guidelines:
- Don't focus the letter on her Alzheimer's disease; rather, make it about life and your relationship.
- Be specific. List a couple of things you're grateful for, activities that you remember or a special characteristic that you hope to display in your own life.
- Be truthful. If your life wasn't a fairy tale childhood, don't fabricate things. Chances are, you may still be able to find something small to thank her for.
- Tell her that you love her. In some families, "I love you" is a daily expression; in others, it's a rarely, if ever, uttered phrase. Regardless of where you fit in, I encourage you to take the time to express your feelings while you can. That expression is a gift, for you and your loved one.

Ewan McGregor Joins The Belstaff-------
For those not in the know, Belstaff was first launched back in 1924 and established itself as the go-to brand for waterproof sporting garments. Back in February, Belstaff's new chief creative director, Martin Cooper (formerly at Burberry), debuted a re-energized look—a collection (heavily inspired by the machine age, when the wealthy all aimed to have motorbikes and motorcars) that strikes a balance between the label's strong British heritage and modern sophistication. To show off the luxe offerings, the brand enlisted none other than Ewan McGregor to hop on a motorbike (he's a lifelong motorbike rider himself), along with models Karmen Pedaru, Ymre Stiekema, Maud Weizen, Ben Hill, John Pearson, and Janis Ancens, for the Craig McDean-lensed campaign. "I started wearing Belstaff motorcycle jackets about ten years ago," McGregor tells Style.com. "I feel like I've always known about them from photos of old motorcycle heroes and legends, as they are often wearing Belstaff." Here, Style.com has a behind-the-scenes look at McGregor at work on the campaign shoot (styled by Karl Templer and creative-directed by Trey Laird), which took place at Lord March's Goodwood estate in the U.K.—fittingly, the location of the annual Festival of Speed auto race.

Jonny Bowden, PhD: Top cholesterol myths even your doctor may still believe
Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS is a national weight loss and nutrition expert, also called the "Rogue Nutritionist."
Here is what he says about common cholesterol myths:
Myth- High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.
--Cholesterol is a fairly insignificant player in heart disease.
--High cholesterol is a lousy predictor of heart attacks. Half the people admitted to hospitals with heart disease have normal cholesterol, and plenty of people with elevated cholesterol have perfectly healthy hearts.
--Fully half the people with heart disease have "normal" cholesterol and fully half the people with elevated cholesterol are healthy as a horse
Myth- Statin drugs are perfectly safe.
--Statin drugs have significant side effects, including loss of memory and libido, muscle pain and fatigue, and approximately 65% of doctors don't report those side effects.
--The only group in which statins have been shown to have even a modest effect is in middle-aged men who've already had a heart attack. If you're not in that group, you've got no business on a statin drug.
Myth- Saturated fats are dangerous.
--Saturated fat is mostly neutral and may even have some health benefits.
--Far more "dangerous" is sugar, high levels of omega-6 fat, and man-made trans fats.
The four real killers of your heart:

Michigan football recruiting might have just had the best recruiting weekend anyone will have in this entire cycle -- and it's still February. The Wolverines hosted their Junior Day and brought in talent from all over the Midwest, landing commitments from an incredible eight (yes, eight) prospects.
Among the eight are four top offensive linemen, two tight ends, a defensive end and a defensive back.
Winning football starts up front, and that's where I'll start this recap. The top prize from the weekend was offensive lineman Logan Tuley-Tillman. Of Peoria (IL) Manual High School, Tuley-Tillman is a 6'7, 280 pound tackle prospect with a great frame and excellent athleticism to match. He is rated four-stars by most recruiting services and certainly has five-star potential.
Joining Tuley-Tillman is David Dawson, a top offensive line prospect out of Detroit's Cass Tech. Dawson played in Texas last year, and Michigan has to be happy about his move to the Motor City. At 6'5 and 305 pounds, Dawson is probably a guard at the next level, but tackle cannot be ruled out, either. He is rated four stars by most of the recruiting services.
Continuing with the tremendous offensive line haul, the Wolverines added Kyle Bosch, an athletic recruit out of Wheaten (IL) St. Francis High School. Bosch is 6'5 and 285 pounds, with room to fill out his frame and keep his athleticism. Like his other offensive line mates, he is rated four stars by most services. Maize and Brew has an excellent scouting report on Bosch.
And last, but certainly not least, is Parker Ponderosa High School line recruit Chris Fox from Colorado. Fox is a very solid 6'6 and 297 pounds. Fox appears to be a tough kid and is ideally suited for the right tackle position. He is also rated four stars.
But Michigan didn't just land offensive linemen. The Wolverines also pulled in defensive end Taco Charlton of Pickerington (OH) Central High School. At 6'6 and 240 pounds, Charlton has the athleticism needed to play on the edge and the frame to add weight and control the off-tackle run game. He is rated four stars by most recruiting services and you can read more about Charlton from Maize and Brew.
Two tight ends also signed up to play in Ann Arbor. Wyatt Shallman of Detroit Central Catholic is an impressive 6'3, 255-pound athlete, and is listed as such by most scouting services. Maize and Brew says Michigan intends to use him on offense as a big back and tight end. He looks strong and athletic in his film, and Michigan will certainly find a way to put the four-star recruit to work. Excellent tight end Jake Butt is the other half of this tight end tandem.
While Shallman is more of an h-back type, Pickerington High School's Butt is a traditional tight end. At 6'6 and 230 pounds, Butt should easily be able to add the power to play on the line by year two or three. Michigan is recruiting to play a pro-style power attack, and both four-star tight ends should be a big help down the line.
Wrapping up the class was another player from Detroit's Cass Tech, defensive back Jourdan Lewis. Lewis looks like a corner in his film, and at 5'11, 170 pounds, that's likely where he will end up. He is rated four stars.
Michigan now has 11 verbal commitments. Check out the MnB's Big Picture look and what last weekend's haul means for the rest of the 2013 recruiting cycle.

Loved the River!
Review submitted: August 29, 2013 Date of arrival: August 17, 2013
We had a great week with a few excursions to Lake George but mostly we relaxed, visited with family and enjoyed our morning coffee watching the river!
The house was clean and as presented, plenty of room to spread out. My elderly mother slept in the back room and had her quiet and privacy. The stairs up to the bedrooms are a little steep, but bedrooms are good size with comfy beds. We did use the AC on fan setting. One of the bedroom windows was missing a screen or we would have had all the windows open.
The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals, and we used the grill several times.
The linen service worked well for us..only wished we had more blankets, we got sheets for 6 beds but 4 blankets. It did state that in rental agreement, I just didn't see it!
The stone patio was great for sitting out and there are plenty of chairs. My mother had to be careful with her footing though because some stones are uneven.
The river was a little cold but we did swim everyday. There is no walk in access, so that might be a concern for young children.
We used the fire pit everynight, and being in a campground made us feel like we were "glamping"..got the campground feel but a house the stay in!
We loved walked along River Road. Everyone was friendly.
We had pizza from Roccos in Lake Luzerne..very good, and Tops was good for what ever else we needed.
Mike was great to send directions and helpful info..esp liked seeing a picture of them..and am so glad they choose to share there piece of heaven with us!
Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful relaxing vacation!

Very Lovely
Review submitted: August 16, 2012 Date of arrival: July 28, 2012
We had absolutely no problems finding the house and it was very nice of Mike (who was very helpful for the whole process btw) to send us MapQuest directions. The information packet that was sent to us about the house prior to our visit was very helpful indeed and we did find ourselves referencing it a few times throughout our trip. Upon arriving at the house it was even nicer inside than the pictures show, it looked completely remodeled but not overly so, still had a nice "homey" feel to it. The week that we stayed it was not as hot as it had been the previous weeks so we did find ourselves using the fireplace and that was great - very romantic. We traveled with our two small dogs and they had a blast - our Pomeranian was not on a leash the whole time and she loved that - our Shiba had to be on the leash sometimes as he was a bit more of an explorer and there were lots of frogs at night and he had to learn the hard way that you should never put a frog in your mouth, wind-up with a foamy mouth! We brought the dogs lifejackets and got some rafts and tied them to the dock and floated around with them on our laps - that was very relaxing. We didn't do much of anything other than relax the whole week so I cannot comment on any of the attractions but we did have a very relaxing and fun vacation. Lake George is not very far away and we did go a few times but mostly we just stayed in and read our books and took in the beautiful view!! We would definitely stay again - thanks Mike & Grace

Review submitted: August 7, 2011 Date of arrival: July 30, 2011
We have been renting this house for 3- 4 years now and have never been disappointed. Always clean and lots of space for all of us to sleep. Relatives come from VA every year to go to the track and this is just the best place we have stayed, close proximity to the track and Lake George. We have always been happy. Owners are very gracious and accommodating. Give it a try, very peaceful location, gorgeous views.

Owners response: We take great pride in providing an extraordinary value to our guests and are happy that so many choose to return year after year. We strive to ensure that your vacation experience is wonderful, by providing all of the 'little things' that could otherwise make a vacation go off track. Board games, DVDs, CATV, Wi-Fi, long distance phone, watercraft, BBQ gas, etc are all included in the rental price so you don't have to waste precious vacation time tending to these details. The location is great, the house is immaculate, and the views are fantastic. Give us a try; you will be glad that you did! Mike & Grace, Owners.

A great getaway for the whole family...
Review submitted: September 5, 2010 Date of arrival: August 21, 2010
What a great place to relax and unwind...just watching the river pass by. We had 6 adults and 2 teenagers and there was fun for all. The house was amazing a river veiw from every room, we really enjoyed the gas fireplaces so cozy and easy to use. We made a fire every night in the fire pit and many smores were had. The house was very clean and well maintained. We would definatly stay again in fact we have already inquired about a fall getaway..the river is calling me back.

The place to unwind.
Review submitted: August 10, 2010 Date of arrival: July 31, 2010
This was one of the best, most relaxing vacations I've ever been on. This is a beautiful location on the Hudson River about 15 miles from the hustle and bustle of Lake George(close enough, but not too close).My family went for the week with 5 grand children ranging from 8 months to 6 years old. There is a large yard for children to play in,the dock area is spacious and a great place to sit and fish or just watch boats on the river. The owners were a pleasure to deal with.They have a canoe and kayak to use and other boaters are very courteous about slowing down so as not to create a large wake by you when on the water.You're not cramped into a hotel room the size of the living room of this house.Check hotel rates for the area during the summer and you will see what a fantastic deal this is.We will definitely rent here again.

one of the best memories of my life
Review submitted: July 25, 2010 Date of arrival: August 22, 2009
We meaning about 6 adults and 3 kids stayed and there was room on the property for a trailer so there was 2 adults and 3 kids out there . We had the best time fishing and swimming .The palce was great and so were the people that rented it to us !!!! Our kids had a make shift wedding of two 3 yr. olds .The kids had a blast in lake george. Very short drive. The ice cream store across from great escape was awsome, we went there almost every night.The only down fall is the bugs at night , but just bring some bounce dryer sheets and you will be ok . Was one of the best family vacation in our lives we are planning to come back every year.

Tactile Diagrams
Using Thermal Imaging Paper | Tactile Diagram Manual
Tactile diagrams are visual images modified for use by persons who are blind or visually impaired. Braille labels replace print labels. Lines, textures, spacing, etc., are adjusted for tactile readers.
The Disability Resource Center uses computer illustration software as the main tool in converting diagrams into tactile format. Most of the work is completed by manually re-drawing the diagram on a computer workstation. Currently, Macromedia FreeHand is the software used by the Disability Resource Center to draw the electronic version of the diagrams. Sometimes parts of the diagrams can be scanned and traced using FreeHand. This increases the speed of production and the scientific accuracy of the diagrams. Illustrators make every effort to preserve scientific integrity while rendering illustrations suitable for tactile readers.
As the text documents are processed, individual diagrams are entered into our tracking system as documents. They are also given unique ID numbers and are assigned due dates. Like transcribers, the tactile illustrators complete various tasks for the illustrations according to their due dates.
Using Thermal Imaging Paper
The Disability Resource Center uses thermal imaging paper, a coated paper that produces raised images when heated. When the electronic version of a tactile diagram is completed, it must be printed out on a normal computer printer, photocopied onto the thermal image paper, and run through a tactile imaging machine to raise the black ink on the paper. This process at the Disability Resource Center is commonly referred to as "toasting".
Many agencies are adopting a system of tactile diagram production similar to that used at the Disability Resource Center. Due to the young age of the technology, it is often difficult for new users to obtain a consistent, high quality product. Over the years, the Disability Resource Center staff have developed a standard procedure that helps guarantee the best results for toasting diagrams. Here are some strategies we've developed to maximize the quality of our diagrams:
First, when photocopying the diagrams onto capsule paper, best results typically come from using a bypass feed tray found on the side of a copier. The tactile paper must go through the copier horizontally so the paper is in the copier the shortest amount of time to prevent overheating in the machine and sticking to the rollers.
Second, store any unused capsule paper in sealed plastic bags containing desiccant. Capsule paper can absorb humidity, which can deteriorate its quality.
Third, before toasting, warm up the "toaster" by passing a blank sheet of capsule paper through it five to six times to ensure that the rollers are evenly heated.
Fourth, check toasted diagrams for quality throughout the entire process. Are the braille dots raised? Are the diagrams over-toasted? Over-toasting results in solid black areas being severely cracked or lines breaking off easily.
A complete description of Disability Resource Center drawing techniques is available in the TAEVIS Diagram Manual. A free copy of the manual is available here:

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a summer release so it should be pretty fresh. Pours fairly crystal clear orange amber color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy cream colored head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, orange zest, orange rind, lemon zest, floral, grass, pine, caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance of hop notes with a moderate malt balance; and good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange zest, orange rind, floral, grass, lemon zest, pine, caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Good amount of pine resin bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, citrus rind, floral, grass, pine, caramel, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of hop flavors; with a moderate malt balance and minimal cloying bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly slick and very sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice DIPA. All around nice balance of hop and malt notes; and quite smooth to sip on. No complaints, a very enjoyable offering.

Whew. Blast of hops in the mouth on this one. Strong salty and citrus tones. Nice consistent flavor. It doesn't really go anywhere on the flavor profile. Stays on one track, and that's fine by me really. It's pretty easy to drink, considering the style. If you see this one available, I vote to go for it. I'm appreciating these many IPAs and DIPAs I've had lately that just give a good drinking experience as opposed to being all showy.

Pours a golden-orange clear liquid. A large amount of carbonation creates a fluffy white head that sits on top of the brew throughout the drink.
Smell is amazing. The hops smell so fresh and bright. Citrus, grapefruit, orange, and flowery hops. Amazing scents, one of the best I have ever smelled.
Tastes are really strong on this double IPA. Intense hop tastes of grapefruit. A bit of piney earthiness and malty sweetness as well.
Mouthfeel has a thickness to it. Dries out the mouth a bit, leaving one to take another sip.
Drinkability is good on this brew from Buckeye. Great local Cleveland beer that I would recommend to anyone. Go out of your way to find this beer and get it. Great stuff!

22 oz bottle courtesy of kirok1999, thanks Mark! Pours a lightly hazed golden color with a small white head. Retention and lacing are both average.
Smells like sugary malt, toffee and green grape fruitiness. Not really all that pleasant, although there are parts of it that shine well enough. Ive had enough Buckeye offerings to say this has the same tropical fruit yeast/hop combo.
Taste is toffee, citricly tropical hops with a shit-ton of bitterness. I am not sure I can distinguish this a whole lot from the Hippie IPA, they seem very similar too me. Body is lacking and the beer jumps from flavoring hop to bittering without any flow and softness in between. I like some of the hop flavors, but overall the bomber is a bit hard to finish by myself.

3.2/5 rDev -20%
Aroma: Citrusy and piney hop resins noted up front. Mild caramel malt notes in the background as it warms. Clean fermentation character.
Appearance: Nearly clear amber pour with a low sticky white head that retains well.
Flavor: More piney and resiny hop notes up front. Pleasant biscuit-like and caramel malt notes follow. Balance is firmly bitter and the finish is clean and dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Slight slickness and carbonic bite that add to the complexity.
Overall impression: A nice American IPA. A little too malty for my liking but still in style and still hop-forward enough to keep me interested. Worth a try.

Thanks to Clegolfski as shooting me this one as an extra
Look: Orangish copper color 1/4 white head and no retention and ok lacing
Smell: Floral/veg hops in a very mild form and some caramel malt
Taste: Nice floral hop taste with some orange zest and grapefruit with just a pinch of caramel
Mouthfeel: Light body and high carbonation with a dry finish
Overall: Good IPA not great I would drink this on a hot summer day if the price is right and only if I did not have access to wonderful west coast DIPA's

Picked up a bottle of this in Athens, OH at the Jackie O's release.
A: Pours a crisp, clear light orange-yellow in my Sam Adams Perfect Pint. Maybe a half finger white head that settles to a quarter finger quickly. A little more clear and a little paler colored than I have seen in the style, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look tasty.
S: Sweet pineapple and grapefruit. Very very mellow for a DIPA, and I like it.
T: Citrus right up front, followed by a prominent hoppy bitterness as the oils wash over the palate. Finished very smooth, with a light lingering citrusy bitterness. Pretty good, but I prefer my DIPA's to be a tad smoother. Has a real malty, herbal flavor on the back end.
M: Excellent. Carbonation is perfect and the balance is just right. The only nit is the bitter hop flavors could be better integrated, but still sits really nice on the palate with one of the smoother finishes I've had in a DIPA, especially one with this flavor profile.
O: A good DIPA, but probably not a first choice for folks who prefer theirs citrusy and sweet. This one definitely rides the hops and has an indistinct herbal bitterness that lingers throughout. I'll need to revisit this one fresh from the tap.

From 22oz bomber to stemmed Jackie O's tulip on 6/26/11
*From notes
I purchased this bomber at Bella Vino in Athens, OH on June 25th after the Jackie O's bottle release.
A: Clean, filtered golden amber. A hearty pour yields a massive, 3+ finger head. The lacing is a beaut - big, thick gobs of the sticky stuff rim the glass.
S: Slightly fruity, though more of the bittering hops come through here. Hints of pineapple run from beginning to end.
T: Cloyingly juicy, a big-ass kick to the jowls. Though the fruit is present, the bittering hop oil is the star here, though the balance with the biscuity malt is impressive.
M: Masterful. It's creamy beyond compare and makes the entire beer a better, more enjoyable experience. Rich, velvety and the hefty weight is close to perfect.
O: Buckeye '76 DIPA is one of those rewarding finds that make craft beer so much fun. It's a solid beer - if you're ever in Ohio, be sure to look for it. Damn if this ain't a little Rust Belt treasure. Well done Buckeye.

Thanks to Chris for this.
A - Pours a nice golden honey color. Medium sized frothy white head with nice lacing.
S - Lots of grapefruit! Citrus and pine notes. Grapefruit and Clementines. A little earthy dankness to it as well. Can't wait to dig into this one.
T - Sweet citrus at first. Quickly leads into a piney earthy dank like hop flavor. Very quickly goes into a touch of bitterness, but is just as quickly brought into balance with the malt. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, but nowhere near what you would expect based on the way it starts out.
M - A little thin for the style if you ask me. Medium body, with moderate carbonation. The low point of the beer. Would like to see somthing a little thicker.
O - A delicious easy to drink beer. The alcohol is completely hidden and I love all the delicious citrus notes. An under the radar beer I would have never heard about if it weren't for the Secret Bunny BIF. Yum.

Bottle to frosty pint. It's solid. Very drinkable for an imperial, but then again, I don't know too many imperials that are only 7.8%. Could've complimented the in-your-face hops with a touch of honey, but better too hoppy than too sweet. I'd definitely drink it again.

3.85/5 rDev -3.8%
Bright orange color with a modest head that leaves light lacing on the glass.
Tangerine on the nose. Some citrus flavor, but not as prominent as the smell. Bitterness is fairly tame.
Body (and flavor) seems fairly light for a double IPA. A well balanced but restrained brew.
