Craig woman's trial to begin
Monday, July 12, 2010
A Craig woman's four-day criminal trial is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. today in Moffat County District Court.
Tausha Merwin is charged with attempting to influence a public servant, a Class 4 felony.
She will appear before Judge Shelley Hill.
The day will begin with the court attempting to panel a jury and could include opening statements from the prosecution and defense.
According to court records, Merwin allegedly lied to Craig Police officials about her alleged relationship with Ken Johnson, a former Craig Police Department detective and member of the All Crimes Enforcement Team task force.
Merwin pleaded not guilty to the charge Feb. 17.
Steamboat Springs attorney Ron Smith is representing Merwin.
Jon Pfeifer, a Moffat County deputy district attorney, will be handling the case for the prosecution. Rusty Prindle, a deputy district attorney for the DA's office in Steamboat Springs, will assist Pfeifer.
Johnson was sentenced June 8 to seven days in jail at the Rio Blanco County Detention Center after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors. He also received 53 days of jail work release, 150 hours of community service and two years of probation.
Hill approved a motion July 8 from Smith to allow Johnson to testify in Merwin's trial. He is scheduled to take the stand Wednesday.
Merwin has past convictions for drug distribution and possession.
Johnson allegedly provided Merwin with information about ongoing law enforcement investigations and helped her violate probation during their relationship.
Merwin's trial is scheduled to continue through Thursday, with hearings beginning at 8:30 a.m. each day.

I don't know about the rest of you but I hope for a speedy trial because I am sick of hearing about this woman and seeing her picture in the paper!!!

I hope she goes down big for these crimes since her boyfriend got off with a stupid slap on the hand. I have punished my children harsher than the sentence Ken Johnson received for committing felonies while he should have been protecting our city.

We are actually out of this particular style. If you browse the DC landing page you will find two different options available in the Mallard. We have the regular series in all black and the limited SRT model in the Subaru Rally colors. Both are amazing. I know know how they compare to your Jordan's in size but I do wear the Nike 6.0 Oncore High which has been modeled after may old style Nike High tops. I would buy the same size.

These boots are fantastic! I tested them out this weekend and they are perfect for slushing around outside the lodge or looking for some rails around town. Worth every penny. 5/5
Wearing them right now, so fly! super G and comfortable and warm too.

My palate is about as sophisticated as an 8 year old's, so when food is labeled "healthy" I automatically distrust it. But the folks at Cinnamon Snail deliver fresh, healthy food that also happens to be super duper tasty! They focus on vegan asian fusion with a specialty in breakfast pastries and flavorful sandwiches. Now famous in midtown for their rabid fans and long line, Cinnamon Snail has made quite the name for themselves in the past 2 years since they opened. On top of the great food, the staff is super friendly and smiley. I love when it's clear that people at work love their job. It makes the food taste even better!
I had to wait to write about this until after lunch because the menu is so mouth-watering. Try a creme brûlée donut--between the gooey filling and crispy sugar on top, this little guy is perfection. The Cinnamon Snail will be outside the BUST Craftacular and Food Fair this Saturday, April 14 at 82 Mercer St. in Soho.

text: So, I've gained some holiday weight. About 4 lbs. I know that's to be expected but it put me back in the 160s! A place I didn't want to return to. Now I'm saying I'm doing Weight Watchers but I've been really lax and have gone over my daily points and weekly allowance. I do want to get to my ultimate goal, but I always seem to hold myself back! I want this for myself and somebody told me they think I sabotage myself. I don't know if that's true or not. I haven't checked that deep, but I do know it's hard and when I allow myself to eat freely...food is all I think about. What thing I'm going to eat next. Which candy bar, which fast food place. It happens so quickly and that's how I gained weight before. Well, at least now I know those things and I can put a stop to it once it starts to happen. I just need to get out of this lazy, relaxed phase and get back to work!! I need some wise words of encouragement!

Gear Review
Alex Adagio
Definitely an Upgrade
I just completed a full season wearing the Nike Vapens, and these are definitely the boots that lets you forget about your feet all day long. The comfort and flex afforded to the rider in the design gives movement a soft feel as opposed to the constriction and boxy lack of forgiveness that one can find in other boots. Another thing I like about this boot is the basic lacing system allows you to lace up your boots however you want quickly and easily. Also, it?s pretty hard to break or jam a traditional lacing system. These boots have a pretty skatey feel and broke in almost immediately after coming out of the box.
I would absolutely recommend them on all fronts: performance, comfort, and stye.

True Endeavors presents:
Maps & Atlases
Mutts (solo), Midas Bison
In a musical landscape pitted with pop stars and pigeonholes, Maps & Atlases defy easy categorization, choosing to walk their own incomparable path. Beware and Be Grateful builds upon the Chicago-based band's acclaimed Barsuk Records debut, Perch Patchwork, melding their trademark experimentalism with a more direct – though no less beguiling – songcraft. The new album abounds with invention, spanning hymnal harmonies, percolating rhythms, even, in the case of centerpiece track "Silver Self," a full-on guitar solo. Songs like "Remote and Dark Years" and "Winter" are gloriously liquid and lyrical, channeling M&A's maximalist creativity into a truly inviting brand of boundary-busting, asymmetrical pop.
"We wanted there to be more ins," says guitarist/vocalist Dave Davison. "We wanted it to be really engaging. We wanted it to be fun, in addition to being different."
Guitarist Erin Elders adds, "we've always been interested in writing songs that people can walk away from with some sort of emotional connection, while still trying to explore our own musical obsessions and the weird ideas we want to pursue."
Since their formation in 2004, Maps & Atlases – that is, Davison, Elders, bassist Shiraz Dada, and drummer Chris Hainey – have captured the indie imagination with polyrhythmic beats, elaborate melodies, and post-rock ingenuity. Arriving on the heels of two highly rated EPs, 2010's Perch Patchwork proved both a popular and artistic breakthrough, earning the devotion of an increasingly fervent fanbase as well as reams of critical applause. "Maps & Atlases make technical virtuosity fun," declared Filter, while American Songwriter praised the album as a "beautifully oddball symphony…equal parts lo-fi and hi-tech."
M&A spent much of 2010 and '11 on the road, honing their kinetic time signatures and inventive energy both as headliners and alongside such artists as RX Bandits, CircaSurvive, Cults, and Portugal. The Man. Demos were recorded between tours with Perch Patchwork producer Jason Cupp (Good Old War, Nurses), paving the way for sessions at Omaha's ARC Studios – the band's first time working in a conventional recording facility, having previously recorded largely in home studios and other "places where you have unlimited time, without having to pay for it," according to Davison.
In preparation, Maps & Atlases united to explore arrangement ideas and tweak material at Davison's parents' house in suburban Lake County, Indiana. Much of their work on arrangements was conducted on a number of what Davison describes as "weird little battery-powered keyboards" that he and Cupp had purchased at a Chicago farmer's market. The addition of keyboards into Maps & Atlases' creative arsenal served as a seismic aesthetic shift for a band that had always shied away from even the simplest guitar pedals.
"When we first started as a band, we were a lot more adamant about the music being this very organic thing," Elders says. "But slowly we've grown to want to experiment with
texture, and keyboards were a great way to do that. They also helped guide the songs, they kept things fresh. It's good to step out of your comfort zone and try new things."
Though most of the keyboards' "strange sounds" were replaced by guitars on the final recording, they unlocked a new musical mindset in Maps & Atlases, opening the band to alternatives to their customarily naturalistic approach. At ARC, they toyed with fresh textural elements, recording the sound of light bulbs being smashed or of a microphone placed in a box and then rolled down a flight of stairs.
"We threw down as many ideas as we possibly could," Elders says, "as fast as we could."
The band broke the recording sessions into weeklong chunks, taking time away to evaluate their work periodically. Elders describes the band's nurturing approach towards the material as "a long layering/unlayering process. By doing it in installments, we were able to let the songs unfold."
The recordings included pieces that been fermenting throughout M&A's lifetime, with songs like "Old Ash" and the extraordinary "Remote And Dark Years" now utterly transformed by the band's forward momentum and Davison's increasingly potent songwriting skills.
Whereas prior songs featured a somewhat fragmented, refracted lyricism, Davison has begun tackling the big existential questions in more forthright fashion.
"It's just thinking about meaning," he says, "a sort of back-and-forth between ideas and emotion versus just existing in the world."
That core metaphysical to-and-fro is manifested by the album's widescreen spatial dynamics, what Elders describes as "an open-endedness." Free to let their ideas run wild, Maps & Atlases truly let fly: Beware and Be Grateful is a breathtaking panopticon of incantatory choral vocals, seesawing grooves, and of course, their inimitable six string complexity, all of which are pushed farther that the band had ever anticipated.
"There are things on this album that I never thought it would be possible for us to do when we first started," Davison says, adding wryly, "For one thing, my 20-year- old self would not have been super-pumped-up about me playing a guitar solo on anything."
With its blend of avant garde audacity and pop craftsmanship, Beware and Be Grateful stands firmly in the great art rock tradition, a model synthesis of novelty and tradition, of listen ability and invention. Maps & Atlases have crafted a collection of resplendently human music, its intricate dynamics wholly matched by ornate wells of deep emotion.
"We're all quietly excited," Elders says. make and have been striving to make.
"For us, this is the record we've always wanted to We're very proud of it."
Chicago's Mutts are a keys/bass/drums trio who have been described as "Tom Waits fronting a garage band" by Time Out Magazine, and "what Queens Of The Stone Age would sound like if they ditched the guitars and started playing some dirty sounding organs" by Loud Loop Press.
But wait just one minute. On their 3rd LP – Object Permanence – the gritty trio sheds all amplification and goes clean. This is quite the risky move for a band that wasn't easily categorized to begin with. Just when it seems that press and promoters are finally getting comfortable with the band's sound (recently performing for Consequence of Sound, Daytrotter and booked at top-tier venues regionally alongside Murder by Death, Astronautalis and Maps & Atlases among others), Mutts is switching up their sound. This proves that they belong in an echelon with true artists; they are not a band concerned with categorization or making decisions based on career moves. Mutts was formed as a musical catharsis, and they've continued to make music for art's sake over the past four years. And in typical playful Mutts fashion, their sonic switch-up Object Permanence, is a timeless-sounding response to the increasingly turbulent trend-shifts in music, pop culture and a class-divided society.
The album was recorded and mixed by Manny Sanchez at Chicago's I.V. Lab Studio. It was released April 2nd, 2013 on 180g Gold-Translucent Vinyl, CD and digital download via Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and select indie shops around the Midwest. Mutts celebrated the release with a nearly sold out hometown show at Hideout Inn on April 4th, and appearances supporting their new LP on Daytrotter, WGN national TV, NPR's Chicago affiliate WBEZ, Audio Tree Live, WXRT, and a two-month release tour stretching from Missouri to New York.
Object Permanence is also the fulfillment of a $10,000 Double-LP Kickstarter campaign, in which they recorded one acoustic and one amplified album.
Less than a year after releasing it's debut LP, Mutts released their follow-up LP – Separation Anxiety – on August 2, 2012. The album received immediate praise for the beautiful split-color "Mending Wall" vinyl, available along with CD and name-your-price digital download at http://download.muttsmusic.com. Separation Anxiety made the CMJ Top Adds chart at #15 on August 21, and then became the second Mutts release to chart on the CMJ Top 200 in 2012, peaking at #72 over it's six week run.
Separation Anxiety finds the band back with engineer Jon Alvin, who recorded the first three Mutts EPs in 2009-2010. Spending four days at The Chrome Attic in Crystal Lake, IL, the band tracked the 7 songs they had prepared and wrote 3 more on the spot.
The band says that "going into this session we challenged ourselves to try something new on each track." Recording live with minimal overdubs, Mutts sound like veteran artists with a fresh set of tools. And on their fifth release, Maimone still finds new ground to break lyrically, addressing the anxiety involved in coming out to his parents, exclusion in modern Christianity and politics, and finding new angles for social commentary on class warfare, divisive media, and the age of instant gratification.
Mutts released their debut album, Pray for Rain, on December 13th, 2011. It earned a #8 spot on the CMJ Adds Chart, then charted for six consecutive weeks on the Top 200, peaking at #107 twice. It was named one of the top Chicago albums of 2011 by The Huffington Post and received praise in national magazines Alternative Press, The Big Takeover and The Deli. Mutts were also named Chicago's Emerging Artist of 2011 by The Deli Magazine.
In their first year together Mutts independently put out 3 EPs: Pretty Pictures, We Float and The Tells of Parallels. Developing a unique, genre-bending sound, Mutts were already "poised to become one of Chicago's top acts," according to Loud Loop Press.
Outside of the studio, Mutts quickly fulfilled the buzz garnered by their recordings and Chicago music scene pedigree (as members of: Bailiff, Wax on Radio, Hush Sound, Empires, Suns, 8-Bit Tiger, Big Science, This is Cinema and Company of Thieves). By their second year together, the band was headlining at staple Chicago venues including The Empty Bottle, Double Door and Subterranean. Throughout 2011 they also hit the road often, while still holding down part-time jobs, bringing their unique sound throughout the Midwest and to the East Coast.
In 2012 their prolific studio work and constant "weekend warrior" touring culminated in several festival appearances, including Milwaukee's Summerfest opening for Young the Giant, Chicago's Do Division opening for Murder By Death, and opening for Maps and Atlases on the UW Terrace in Madison. An action-packed Summer, in turn, has kept the buzz going from Pray for Rain right into their new release on August 2nd. The first single, "Half Mile," was featured on the CMJ and Chicago Mixtapes, "God, Country, Grave" was featured on the Lollapalooza episode of Local Anesthetic on Chicago's WXRT 93.1FM, and the album is scheduled for national radio distribution August 21st.
Midas Bison makes music of all varieties, often combining different traits in the same songs to accomplish a sort of sonic imagery. Each EP has a stylistic intention behind it and the tones within the piece are meant to express a theme or motif, whether it be the phenomena of the woods, the imagination of a child with a Gameboy, or the deepest depths of the Pacific. Each EP is meant to stand alone as it is, as a cohesive work that maintains a thematic atmosphere, regardless of genre or label. Midas has played a few shows in the Madison area with nationally touring artists such as Maps and Atlases, Chad Valley, Ghost Beach, Mutts and Kids and Explosions.
Midas also founded the What Son? Collective, a group of musicians and artists dedicated to positive promotion, serious artistic communities, and elevated experimental expression.

Maple & Bacon Glazed Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Here's a fantastic side dish for special meals even children will love. The sweet maple syrup and smoky bacon complement the brussels sprouts perfectly.—Jan Valdez, Chicago, Illinois
- 5 bacon strips, chopped
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain.
- Meanwhile, cut an "X" in the core of each brussels sprout. In a large skillet, saute Brussels sprouts in butter for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Stir in the broth, pecans, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover; cook and stir 8-10 minutes longer or until Brussels sprouts are tender. Sprinkle with bacon. Yield: 4 servings.

"This was good, but I was hoping for more of a glaze like it's made at one of our favorite restaurants. Next time I would cook in the broth then completely drain then saut? in the maple syrup until caramelized."
Reviewed Dec. 7, 2014
"I roasted my Brussels sprouts before finishing this dish in a skillet. The roasting gave the Brussels sprouts a milder taste and helped reduce the cooking time on the stove. I followed the rest of the recipe, and we all loved it."

"Even our son in law who does not like brussels sprouts liked this dish."
Reviewed Dec. 5, 2012
"I made these on Thanksgiving, so they were slightly over cooked trying to keep them warm. Bad timing on my part. But they were a huge hit!
I prepared the sprouts the day before and stored them in a plastic bag covered in water with two caps of lemon juice.My only other comment: my liquid was very liquidy. I was expecting more of a glaze or a "gravy"."

Android L is on its way, but people still want KitKat. It's true. If I were sitting around with a device still running, say, Android 4.1, I'd want an update to something newer, and I'm sure you would (or do) too. Well, Asus Padfone Infinity and Fonepad Note 6 owners now have their chance to take a bite out of a sweeter, more recent version of Android. Asus has announced the immediate availability of fresh firmware for both devices.
It has only been a few months since Asus announced the original PadFone Infinity, but the new version of the phone-tablet hybrid was just outed in Taiwan. This is a spec bump on the last PadFone, which moves from Snapdragon 600 to 800, but that's not all.
Just like the last PadFone, this one has a 5-inch 1080p screen, which is upped to a 10-inch display at the same resolution when the phone is in the tablet dock.
Yesterday, we attended a press conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where we were treated not only to the unveiling of ASUS' new Padfone Infinity and aptly-named Fonepad 7" tablet phone (with which we later got some hands-on time), but also to the dazzling (ly awkward and hilarious) antics of a "tech illusionist," and plenty of other awkward moments.
We were able to share a pretty detailed account of the event, along with a short video, but those who want to see the full unveiling from start to finish can now do so, thanks to ASUS' own YouTube channel.
While I was a bit too preoccupied at ASUS's press conference to really pay attention to the details of its products (you can find said details here), later in the day, I headed over to the ASUS booth on the MWC show floor to check out the Padfone Infinity and the Fonepad.
The Padfone Infinity was first on my list. After a few minutes with the phone portion, I wasn't particularly impressed, but I wasn't appalled, either.
We're here at ASUS's press conference in Barcelona, where the company has just unveiled two new Android products: the Padfone Infinity and Fonepad.
The Padfone Infinity is the follow-up to the Padfone 2, released late in 2012, which was the successor to the original Padfone that debuted at MWC last year. The Fonepad is a tablet that also works as a phone. Right (if you actually want to know more about those things, see this post).
At an afternoon press conference across the street from MWC 2013's enormous venue, ASUS has just wrapped a (hilarious) press conference that saw the introduction of two new devices (or three?) – the Padfone Infinity and the Fonepad. Before we dive in for hands-on, let's take a quick look at the specs and pricing for the devices.

The Padfone Infinity is the tablet/phone combination we were expecting from ASUS today.

Lets paint with white
The closer we get to leaving, the more difficult it is to wake up in the mornings. I distinctly remember hearing a difference in Sean's wakeup call today than the other ones. Usually he knocks like rapid fire on the door and yells "WAKE UP! IT'S 6:30!!" However, today it was a single knock and a weak, measly "Wake up." In conclusion, you could say we're all on the edge.
After I stumbled to the dining room trying to wake up and get my bible at the same time, I quickly had my personal devotional time in 2 Corinthians 4:7-11 and verse 16. I've been feeling like lately that my testimony isn't really something to talk about but, when I read this I was encouraged because everything that we go through life has its purpose. Through that, God shines in us and other people can relate or see it. Then as a group, we had a discussion about the book of Joel with the help of Kevin, whom we got to know well and works at the camp. It is so amazing when God wants you to know and remember something because at the end of our discussion, our new friend quoted my favorite verse, Romans 8:28!
However, SOMEONE *coughcough* Tara *coughcough* left our room door open and everyone saw the shape our room was in. Apparently, "girl-messy" is worse than "guy-messy" and Tara, Bailey and I got named "messy dorm people" and were forever shunned… (Just kidding we all know we're secretly loved). Therefore, we got sent to the back of the van as the group went off to the white houses to paint one more as a team. There, we unofficially divided into teams of the Elite and B. The Elite team consisted of all the efficient "hard working" people and their job was the main outside walls of the house except for the left wall. The B team consisted of the average people who like to have deep conversations while they paint and were in charge of the left wall and this random wall that was separated from the rest of the house. I was on the B team with Sean, Laura, Maria and Kevin. Overall, I enjoyed being on B team because I was able to talk plus learn about things that I didn't know much about and was able to gain information to help use for explaining to my non-believer friends.
Since everyone worked together as a team on the house, we were done before lunch! However, when we got back I was on brush washing duty with Tara and Bailey for reasons above. When we were done with that and after everyone finished lunch, we were assigned to clean our rooms for also reasons above (hehe). Then, we all met back together to discuss what we've learned during this trip. Since you had to put it in only 2 sentences, everyone's summary was straightforward. After Sean listened to all of us, he broke us up into groups based on similarity and we had to create a Sunday school lesson for what we've learned. At first it was difficult, but thankfully Justin came around and gave us teaching tips.
Once everyone was done, we all had free time and most of us went to go zip lining over a lake! Since I was tired, I decided to hang around and learn about Catholic theology from Sean. It was very interesting because it made me think about how some people say they are Catholic but they hardly know anything about what they are a part of. Also, it helped me understand the way that they think and why my Catholic friends do the things they do.
Once dinner came around, everyone was able to relax and play card games with each other! I'm starting to get the feeling of reality that we're leaving soon and I'm a bit sad about it. However, I'm grateful for the time spent here and thankful for everyone praying for us! Thank you again for all of your support and we'll be home soon!
Love, Paige Mitchell

Those suggesting pulling color negative film several stops: Have you ever done it? The C-41 developer time is only three and a quarter to three and a half minutes. Not only is it incredibly difficult to accurately time a pull, but anything more than a stop or so, and the color goes haywire. Anything over 1/2 stop, and you lose a lot of control over color balance when printing. IME, you can go as far as one stop and still get OK color, as long as it is for this sort of thing. In short, overexpose like Mark Antony said, and pull 1/2 stop or 1 stop is my suggestion. Even then, the film will likely be too "good", and you will need to manipulate the picture a bit later.

Luxe Paws will pick Ben up in early Jan to whisk him for his neuter.
Email or call us to schedule an in-home meet & greet with baby Ben.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ben- purr baby tabby, a Los Angeles American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Los Angeles, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Los Angeles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Angeles already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Los Angeles breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Angeles paves the way for another one to be saved.

In this article we tak an historical look at some of medicines pioneers in treating cancer, including one remarkable man – Dr. Demetrio Sodi-Pallares who had remarkable success in treating the untreatable.
Carcinoid Tumors
Carcinoid tumors grow slowly and affect the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. While juice therapy is not recommended for this type of cancer, there are juices you should avoid.
Cancer of the Stomach
Sufferers of stomach cancer often have problems with getting enough nutrients in their diet. We take a brief look at the fruit and vegetables that may help.
Cancer of the Ovaries
Ovarian cancer doesn't often provide strong symptoms. Juicing can help provide support from this type of cancer, but only ONE type of juice.
Cancer of the Esophagus
Cancer of the oesophagus needs to be treated by your doctor. While juices may reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, or slow it's development, this devastating disease does need laser and radiation therapy.
Cancer of the Prostate
Prostate cancer is something men worry about. However, those who eat a diet high in "plant food" are less likely to develop cancer. It seems that the "active" ingredient is a fiber – pectin.
Neutropenia: When Juicing Is a Bad Idea
Neutopenia is a complication associated with cancer. Patients that suffer from neutropenia should not squeeze their own juice because of the potential for pathogens to exist in the fruit and vegetables.
Green Tea May Help Leukemia Patients
Juicing is a natural way to get vitamins and minerals but it is not the secret for leukemia. In this article we mention the "miraculous" green tea effect for leukemia and lymphoma.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (skin cancer)
Can juicing help with this common form of skin cancer?
Can Juicing Help Cancer of the Bladder?
Cancer of the bladder can be responsive to nutritional therapies including juicing since the bladder itself comes into contact with the chemicals in the food we eat. Foods can therefore help the fight against bladder cancer, but it can also make things worse if you don't know what you are doing!

We are meeting with our KD tomorrow and one thing we will discuss will be countertop materials. I am staying as eco-friendly as our budget allows. Right now I am leaning towards reclaimed timber. Cabinets will be off white-simple design. I love ice stone, vertrazzo and ribbon glass, but I am finding them rather pricey. Granite and ceased stone are also nice but I do not like the possible radon issue. We just put in a radon reduction system and so introducing radon does not make any sense. What other suggestions does anyone have? Floors will be cork. |

Have you looked at Eco-top? No direct experience, I just saw some in a showroom. It's similar to Paperstone and Richlite, but less expensive and also comes in light colors, which they don't. Love the idea of the cork floors! |

Browsing through some listings today and have come across several houses that state "Buyer Pays Amenity Fee of ....." They all seem to be in the 3 - 4k range. I've never heard of that before and have no idea what it's for. This is on top of Association fees. Can anyone tell me what an Amenity Fee generally covers and if it's a one time or recurring fee. Thanks. |

In a PUD that's for maintaining the community clubhouse, pool, walking trails, etc. |
I have no idea but I think it's a fee I would fight not to pay. No such thing where I live, even in PUD (?), hoods with covenent rules, or HOAs. Can you call the realtor of one of the listings and ask them dlm2000, and then come back and tell us? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sat, May 25, 13 at 23:38
In most Planned Unit Developments, it's part and parcel of buying into the neighborhood. You can't just say, "I'm not going to use the pool, so I"m not going to pay". It's like a condo fee. It's not optional if you want to live in that neighborhood. It's a required annual fee that pays for upkeep of the common elements. |
But why have separate amenity fee AND HOA fee? Why not just have it all the same, maybe budgeted out after it is received? |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 7:02
I worked at an large HOA for a while (fun times!) and while we didn't call it an "Amenity Fee" there was a "Transfer Fee" at the time of settlement. The funds went into to general fund to help pay for improvements to the Amenities etc. There was a also a "Special Assessment" of about $20K per lot which was attached to the lot to improve the roads.. Owners had a choice as to whether to pay it lump sum, or over 20 years. If they sold the house it would pass to the next owner. Could be the situation here. They may have had to build a new pool or something like that and the owner voted in a special assessment which still needs to be paid. I would call the HOA and ask. |
Kirkhall when we were looking at condos in Florida we came across a community my Hubby loved. It had the amenity fee and an HOA fee. In that instance, there were different parts of the community, all having different gated access, except for the houses in and around "main street". Behind each gate there was a different HOA even though everything was part of the planned community. |
Thanks for the information. I have a better sense of what the fee may be for now. We don't live in a subdivision so there's no HOA and we have no experience with how they operate. It didn't make sense that there would be and association fee AND an amenity fee but if there are big expenses looming with community areas and buildings I suppose that's where it comes from. I won't bother calling because we're not that interested and it was just on a whim that I saw these houses - normally our parameters exclude subdivisions. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 11:42
I would still call to clarify the question and to make sure it is what several poster stated to help others. |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 12:24
My husband and I both NEVER want to buy a house at a HOA again. 1) My experience at the one I worked at. 2) Bought a house near the beach, wasn't too bad, but started to go bad so we got out. 3) Bought a couple house at one at a lake in PA. Dues doubled within 3 years, and politics got very bad. We could even see where they were wasting money. We bailed out and swore we would NEVER buy another home in an HOA. |
Ditto: marie-ndcal who said "I would still call to clarify the question and to make sure it is what several poster stated to help others." 4 grand a year to swim and use the planned community amenities is steep imho. Sheesh it would be cheaper to pay for a personal trainer and build my own pool, tennis court, playground, dog park! The HOA is expensive already, at least in my neck of the woods. I am glad to read that the OP is reconsidering a buy into that 'hood. |
I've read seen special assessments and sometimes it might say, buyer to pay special assessment of.... But, that ends up being a negotiating point too. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Re: ANALYSIS FOR COMMENT - UKRAINE: Kirill Pays a Visit
nice job, Marko. the only thing i would add is the financial factor...what
financial tools does the Russian Orthodox Church have over the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church? im assuming that with Ukraine being so broke, the UOC
isn't doing too well. does the UOC get outside support from anywhere?
On Jul 27, 2009, at 10:24 AM, Marko Papic wrote:
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill I, is
visiting Ukraine on a 10 day visit starting on July 27. The visit is
Kirilla**s first official international visit in his new capacity as the
patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, title he assumed in February
2009. On his visit, Kirill will visit ten Ukrainian cities, hold
numerous services, and will meet with yet unnamed top Ukrainian
government officials.
The visit by the Russian Orthodox patriarch to Ukraine comes at a tense
time for Kyiv, with less than six months ahead of the first Presidential
elections since the 2004 Orange Revolution that brought pro-Western
Viktor Yuschenko to power. The deeply
divided Ukraine (LINK: http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20081113_ukraine_instability_crucial_country)
is not only split ethnically and linguistically between Ukrainian and
Russian spheres of influence, but also religiously with
the Moscowcontrolled Church of Eastern Orthodoxy in Ukraine (UOC)
claiming nearly 70 percent of the population as its adherents Kirilla**s
visit is intended to cement Moscowa**s control over Orthodoxy
in Ukraine and further entrench Kyiv in Kremlina**s sphere of influence.
Ukraine is a country that lies squarely at the border between east and
west, fact that is illustrated by its linguistic and ethnic mix. Nearly
20 percent of Ukrainea**s population is ethnically Russian, particularly
in the eastern and southern region, and around 30 percent of the country
considers Russian as their mother tongue.

The ethnic and linguistic split is not only an issue of identity
politics, but also of perspective. Southern and eastern regions
ofUkraine consider Russia their natural ally, cultural brethren and
trading partner while west and northern Ukraine yearn to joinother
Central European countries in NATO and the European Union. This
divergence in perspectives of the populace has caused implementing the
pro-Western policies vociferously lauded by the proponents of the Orange
Revolution an absolute impossibility. Former allies, Yuschenko and
current Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko have bogged down in political
in-fighting that is at its core about Kyiva**s foreign policy direction,
while Viktor Yanukovich, once embarrassed opponent of Yuschenko, is now
looking to potentially ride the pro-Russian vote to a comeback in
January 2010 elections.
In short, Ukraine is engaged in a constant debate over whether it should
remain connected to Russia socially, politically, militarily and
culturally or whether it should turn toward the West.
The mix of overlapping identities, however, does not stop with language
and ethnicity. Religion also complicates matters, particularly because
it has since Ukrainian independence in 1990 been highly politicized.
While ninety percent of Ukrainea**s population are adherents of
Christian Orthodoxy, the religion is actually represented in Ukraine by
two entities: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the Kyiv Patriarchate
(UOC-KP), independent and headquartered in Kyiv, and
the Church of Eastern Orthodoxy in Ukraine (UOC), which is under the
control of the Moscow Patriarchate and whose supreme leader is therefore
Kirill. Depending upon whose statistics are believed, Moscow controlled
UOC is followed by either 70 percent of the total population (which is
UOCa**s official claim) or around half of the religiously active
population, closer to 20 percent of total population. The UOC is the
only Orthodox church in Ukraine with full international canonical
recognition and owns most of the church property in the country.
Yuschenko, however, has made it one of his core political platforms to
unify the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under one roof,
(LINK: http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/ukraine_more_religious_schism)
controlled by Kyiv alone. This has not only been Yuschenko's goal, but a
strategy of a number of Ukrainian nationalist leaders since country's
independence from the Soviet Union. Yuschenko fact reiterated his call
for a unified Ukrainian church ahead of Kirilla**s visit.
For Yuschenko the issue is not solely one of entrenching the malleable
Ukrainian identity, continually torn between the East and West, into a
solid independent core. It is also about vetting all levers
of Moscowa**s influence from Ukraine. It is no secret that the Russian
Orthodox Church had throughout the Cold War had close links to the KGB,
with its long time Patriarch Alexei II himself an actual ex-KGB agent.
Orthodox churches offered Soviet state security apparatus a platform
both within Soviet Unionand abroad for placing spies to monitor the
local Orthodox population and the Russian diaspora. Since the collapse
of the Soviet Union the emphasis for intelligence gathering,
particularly in Ukraine and ex-Soviet republics, has only strengthened
as Moscow looks to rebuild its influence in its near abroad.
Yuschenkoa**s move is therefore about eliminating one of the most
important levers of the Russian intelligence apparatus insideUkraine.
However, nearly five years after the Orange Revolution, with his
popularity sagging and pro-West camp in disarray Yuschenkoa**s plan for
an independent Ukrainian church is unfeasible. Kirilla**s ten day visit
is intended to cement Moscowa**s control over its side of the religious
divide in Ukraine and entrench, for the near future at least, the schism
in Ukrainian religious community.
