HAYDEN, Idaho — A toddler accidentally shot and killed his mother in a northern Idaho Walmart store on Tuesday morning.
The woman was later identified by authorities as Veronica Jean Rutledge, 29, from Blackfoot, Idaho.
She was shopping with her son and three other children, said Lt. Stuart Miller, Kootenai County Sheriff's spokesman. Rutledge and her family had come into the area to visit relatives over the holidays.
THOMAS — Snake River head coach Rich Dunn refers to his yearly Christmas break game as the holiday ham game and for good reason.
As most teams in the area enjoy a few weeks away from playing games and just practice, the Panthers play at least one game during the break to keep in basketball mode prior to the second half of the season beginning.
In years past it took the Panthers a quarter or two or sometimes the entire game to get into the flow of the game.
Tuesday night against visiting Malad it took just two quarters for the Panthers to earn a huge 56-33 win at Snake River High School.
BOISE (AP) — For some, the wait had lasted decades. Others thought they would never see the day that in conservative Idaho —one of the most Republican-dominated states in the nation— same-sex marriage would be legalized.
But after a complicated legal battle, Idaho's gay marriage ban was overturned in federal court and gay couples began legally receiving marriage licenses on Oct. 15.
BLACKFOOT - For the second time in less than a week, the Bingham County Sheriff's Office is investigating an unexplained explosion-like sound in the Blackfoot area.
Many residents in the Riverside area reported hearing a loud BOOM that actually shook their homes and rattled windows at around 6 p.m. on Sunday.
James Davis of Riverside described it as "a loud boom, that made his whole house jump, but not an earthquake."
See Monday's Morning News for more on this story.
BLACKFOOT — I hope the Christmas holiday was a good one for all of you readers out there, it was definitely a memorable one for my family and I.
It has been awhile since I released the All-Bingham County soccer teams and over the next few days we will wrap up the all-county teams for the fall sports.
Today we will take a look at the all-county volleyball team.
The team is made up of the top players in the county based on the performances I saw during the season.
MAYVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Two young brothers from southeastern Wisconsin are likely hoping they haven't landed on Santa's naughty list after police showed up at their doorstep.
The boys, ages 3 and 6, thought the best way to get in touch with the North Pole was by phone. And for youngsters of that age, their Christmas lists could be considered an emergency.
So, the brothers used their Dad's cellphone to place a 911 call, hoping to be connected with the North Pole and the big guy himself.
POCATELLO (AP) — A mother and daughter died and five of the woman's other children were injured in a rollover crash on a snowy interstate south of Pocatello, authorities said.
Rachel Hollibaugh, 38, of Dietrich, Idaho, died at the scene late Christmas morning as did her 14-year-old daughter, Tanessa Hollibaugh. The Idaho State Police said the five injured children were taken to a Pocatello hospital.
For more on this story, see Friday's Morning News.
THOMAS — Maybe it was the fans sarcastic applause after the Panthers first points of the game after 11:30 of being held scoreless.
Or maybe it was the no doubt fiery halftime speech from head coach Bob Coombs, but something got into the Snake River Panthers in the second half against Sugar-Salem Tuesday night.
After being held scoreless in the opening quarter and trailing 21-1 with 4:31 left in the game the Panthers rallied in the second half cutting the deficit to as little as seven points.
UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a woman being cited for public drunkenness in Pennsylvania accidentally dropped a baggie of crack cocaine on the police station floor.
Uniontown police say 23-year-old Savannah Turachak, of Lemont Furnace, was patted down for weapons but not otherwise searched when she was brought to the station Nov. 19. That's because police were just citing and releasing her.
But police say Turachak returned moments later to report being harassed by someone and, in the process, fluffed her shirt to straighten it out — and the drugs fell out.

Park Ji-sung hopes to come up with a fine show
FRANKFURT: Soccer has become secondary to Togo, overwhelmed by endless pay and management crises as the Sparrow Hawks head into their World Cup debut against South Korea.
For the Koreans, on the other hand, all the talk is about tactics and team spirit.
The Asian side heads into Tuesday's match as the favourite against a West African team that lost coach Otto Pfister days before the World Cup and is still agonising over a replacement.
Germany's Winfried Schaefer, who coached Cameroon in 2002, said he would only be interested in doing the job if the team sorted itself out by Monday.
No deal reached
Team officials had more talks with Schaefer on Monday, after a meeting at the team base in Wangen on Sunday. But no deal was reached.
Togolese federation spokesman Messan Attolou said that Mawuena Kodjovi, who was named as interim coach on Saturday, would lead Monday's training and not Schaefer.
Players have been at odds with the Togolese federation over bonuses since the African Cup of Nations in January.
Forward Emmanuel Adebayor, who plays for Arsenal and is the only well-known player on the team, on Sunday put the blame firmly on the federation, which is headed by the Rock Gnassingbe, the brother of the country's President.
But he said the players were trying to focus on the World Cup.
``We want to prove to the world that we are footballers and we are hungry for victory,'' Adebayor said. ``We know it's the World Cup. It's the best tournament in the world. We have to give our best. We have to represent Africa.''
He did however admit that he didn't know much about the South Korean side. Other teams in the group are France and Switzerland.
South Korea has been watching the events in the Togolese camp with quiet glee. But coach Dick Advocaat said the team was not going to be fooled into a false sense of security.
``You never know if it's an advantage or disadvantage that there are some problems,'' Advocaat said. ``You can also say because there are some problems that the team will unite more than normal.'' The coach refused to disclose if he would play with three defenders and four midfielders, or four defenders and three midfielders along with its three strikers against the Africans.
Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung expects to play a crucial role in the opener even if that is as a decoy.
``Because I'm the best-known player, (the Togolese) may look at me a lot more. And I think that will leave our other players more space,'' Park said.
Lowest team
Togo, ranked 61st by FIFA the lowest at the tournament has lost seven of nine matches since completing its World Cup campaign in October, including all three at the African Cup in January. The Hawks' only victories have come against Ghana and Liechtenstein.
It fired coach Stephen Keshi after the African Cup and then appointed Pfister, who stormed out on Friday after the team failed to settle the pay row.
Kodjovi, who was assistant to Pfister, has been with the team since 1994. AP

After a long Hiatus...A Return to Work on Hillyard
by, February 15th, 2009 at 11:33 PM (15210 Views)
To all who have been reading my blog in the past I need to apologize for not writing any updates to my past entries. To be honest until recently there have been no updates. The economically trying times have been hard on the already drained funds of a student turned modeler so the construction of Hillyard was put on hold.
I have planned Hillyard as a sectional show layout, broken down into six sections. Ironically with the launch of this seemingly well thought out idea that would allow me to work on the project as I had the money had to wait until I had enough money to build the first section which is the roundhouse and turntable. Those of you modelers know that the word turntable means $$$$table. My goal was the Walthers 130' indexed turntable, and I met that goal with the use of that great combination of Christmas and Birthday money (If you have a birthday in December you know what Im talking about).
Now that I have purchased the long awaited turntable and also 3 stalls of the roundhouse I am constructing the bench work for this first section in grand anticipation for getting on with the project with the increase in income that is due to me with my new job as a shop teacher this summer.
The roundhouse is planned to be a 270 degree roundhouse that is about 20 stalls...I think with exterior tracks for other storage. I am planning to buy add-on stalls whenever I can snatch them up.
As far as the rest of my layout (Downtown Spokane) I have made a design change after more indepth research into that area and a rare find...a track diagram. This diagram shows that there was not much switching off of the GN mainline through town it also shows an OWRN interchange. I decided that the interchange would be more interest for me. It would allow me to model two additional railroads...UP and OWRN in the interchange, and in plan the OWRN steel bridge flows right into the back track of my Hillyard area of the layout, so this bridge can be opporational rather than just for show, as well as make the interchange somewhat realistic. My desk is next to the interchange so I decided to build a removable "pig tail" to the layout that would allow a locomotive to run directly onto my test track on my desk from the interchange.
I will have pictures soon for those of you having trouble picturing this in your head. Again, I am back and building. By the way I have named my layout....
Great Northern & Inland Empire
This name comes from my Main line (GN) and all other lines that will interchange or be depicted in some way: SP&S, UP (Spokane International), MILW (Washington & Idaho Northern), NP, and Spokane Falls & Northern

Orthodox School Can Now Compete in Tournament
Basketball semifinal will be played Friday afternoon following judge's order
Following a lawsuit and a temporary restraining order, the co-ed, Orthodox Robert M. Beren Academy in Houston will compete in a semifinal game of their private school league's annual tournament in Dallas on Friday afternoon, in what will surely be the most monitored contest in the league's history. Previously, the school, which had gone 23-5 this year, planned to forfeit rather than play on Friday evening. This was definitely a much easier resolution than for the league to have moved the game without getting a judge involved.
The league's initial decision not to produce the game prompted widespread outrage. Houston's mayor released a statement. And so did former Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy: an amusing voice to crop up for those who remember Bethlehem Shoals' Tablet Magazine column about the non-Jewish Van Gundy's indelible Jewish qualities.
The good news is the team has been practicing all week in case things broke their way. They're not all days of rest.

Your guide to Barcelona's LGBT community
Come out and join the party with these top spots and diverse fiestas
Barcelona, the gay capital of southern Europe, where you're free to express yourself. Whether yours is cultural gatherings, meeting for drinks or foam parties, the city has it all. Check out these top spots, parties and assocations that help make our city a heterogeneous destination. Welcome to diversity!
What's new in the Gaixample
Although the city's gay district is suffering through the crisis just as everyone else – some winter nights out can paint a rather bleak picture – there are still some who want to venture out and please with new ideas and parties. Recent months have seeing the opening of new cafés such as Bim Bar, putting a bit more life into the area during the day. The newest night spot is Mercury, which stands where Bubbleboys once was, and pulls a bit in the direction of nostalgia. Since February 2013, Latino gays have a new destination in Stage Light.
Lesbians out and proud
There's something about bars for the girls that often leads them to an untimely demise. So when one survives the passage of time, it is not only to be congratulated but celebrated as well. La Rosa is still the city's great lesbian club. But there are new alternatives carving out their niche, such as La Sue BCN and La Bambolina. The latter is a start-up from the Melon girls, a group of young lesbians who also branch out to organise events in larger spaces, and even exursions and weekends in the mountains only for women.
Hot down below
Although apps like Grindr have stolen some of their clientele, cruising spots always have their draw. One of the city's most successful, Boyberry, has recently expanded its space with a basement of 200 square metres. It's reasonably priced, and there are special days where under-30s get in for free, or you can get the cover charge waived if you're packing more than 20 cm (7 in). The latter is the 20th of each month. There's a guy who has the pleasure of measuring those who think they qualify for free entry, and if you're among the gifted, you won't pay a cent. And you also get a wristband to wear so the whole place knows your shoe size.
Fighting homophobia
Barcelona is a city that breathes freedom. This is in part thanks to the many associations that, since the 1970s, have continued to fight for equal rights. And there is still much to do. Luckily, there are a number of organisations that devote a lot of time and effort to the cause. Currently, one of the most active groups is the collective Brot Bord (website in Catalan), a queer assembly that fights against patriarchy, homophobia and transphobia. They are quite active and tend to organise lectures, workshops and documentary screenings. They meet on Sunday afternoons at the Casal Independentista de Sants.
On the road
Around the world and back ... to the Raval. You might not know that the first lesbian bar in Barcelona (La Sal) was on C/Riereta. The Raval and has long been a meeting place for the most alternative gays, thanks to bars like La Penúltima. But if there is one street in the Raval that is becoming more and more popular, especially among the girls, it's C/de Carretes, home to spaces like La Casa de la Pradera and the newest spot Bar Lupita. If you're hungry, stop by Las Fernández first.
The new bear circuit
Since Woofy opened where the old Zeltas was, C/Casanova has become the epicentre of Barcelona's bear community. A few metres away is the lair of another favourite for the city's bears and chasers, the Bacon Bear Bar. On Thursdays, both places put on a spread of snacks, making it a great time to move among and admire the crowd of hairy men, their bellies full and content. Once a month it's the triumph of the Bear Sex Party in the Open Mind sex club where everyone gets right to the point and hair is synonymous with happiness.
A cut above
In many of the world's big cities it is increasingly common to see men-only aesthetic centres where you can even get anal and genital bleaching. As far as we know, the bleaching hasn't really become fashionable here yet, and salons for gay men to pamper themselves are engaged in more mundane activities, such as haircuts. You'll be treated very well in the Gaixample in salons such as Paparazzi or Tön Vangard, but if you head to the Raval you can also find modern hairstylists that come highly recommended and have first-rate service, like Pódame.
A community link
For many gays, lesbians and transsexuals, getting older means climbing back into the closet. Those with no children are often left on their own. The Fundació Enllaç ('The Link Foundation') is here to help. The organisation aims to protect the welfare of LGBT people who live in situations of vulnerability and dependence. The association has a multi-purpose room where they put on film screenings, host lectures and activities such as tai-chi, provide space for the Coral de les Panteres Grogues ('Yellow Panthers Choir'), and hold workshops to promote emotional and spiritual wellness.
Trans visibility
Transsexuals have always been the most stigmatized group within the LGBT community. Fortunately, a new generation of transgender people are doing a lot to promote awareness. In Barcelona this is thanks to initiatives such as the Espai Obert Trans-Interse (website in Spanish and Catalan), a group that meets once a month at the Casal Lambda, and Cultura Trans (website in Spanish), a project to promote visibility and new models when it comes to the trans question. On 6 July they hosted a cabaret featuring local and international artists.
International briefs
One of the newest shops in the Gaixample is brought to you by the clothing brand ES Collection, which has undergone a real facelift. This brand that specialises in swimwear and underwear was born in 2006 out of the initiative taken by a textile company based in Poblenou. They were the first to incorporate 'pack up' in their pieces, which is a foam insert to boost the appearance of your package. Thanks to this invention and their ad campaigns featuring smooth-skinned, muscular men with piercing eyes, they're doing very well indeed and now boast more than 300 outlets worldwide.

"In the Doctor's Office: Recovery Friend or Foe?" will be presented on Tuesday April 22, 2014; 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm; by Mark A. Weiner, MD; Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine; and Matthew Statman, LMSW, CAADC; Collegiate Recovery Program Manager, University of Michigan Health Services. It's been said that the doctor's office can a dangerous place for people in recovery from addiction. It's also been said that recovering people are terrible patients. This program will discuss whether these statements are fair and why doctors and other healthcare providers are essential allies for long term recovery. We will describe in detail how recovering people can take responsibility for their physical health and how to recruit health care providers as allies. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series. The Dawn Farm Education Series is a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues; and to dispel the myths, misinformation, secrecy, shame and stigma that prevent chemically dependent individuals and their families from getting help and getting well. The Education Series is designed to help people with alcoholism or other drug addictions to achieve, maintain and strengthen their recovery; assist family members and friends to understand and support recovery in people they care about as well as maintain their own health and well-being; aid professionals and students in various disciplines to work effectively with people with addictions and their families and support their recovery process; and contribute to a community culture supportive of recovery. All programs are free and open to anyone interested. Registration is not required. 1.5 hours of free C.E. approved by NAADAC (National Association for Addiction Professionals) and MCBAP (Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals) is offered for each program.

At the very least, Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., is guilty of bad judgment, and Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who chairs the House tax writing committee, is guilty of being bad at doing his own taxes. The jury is out on whether either man broke Congressional ethics rules. And if history is any guide, that jury will be out for a very long time.
In the House of Representatives, an ethics inquiry into Rep. Rangel's failure to declare property and income on his tax filings for years, has dragged on for more than a year. The committee has voted to extend its inquiry and questions about Rangel have expanded to include a rent controlled apartment he used as an office in Harlem, and the diversion of earmarked funds to create a school in his name at the City College of New York.
But while questions about the long-serving Democrat have grown, the House Ethics Committee has toiled in secret.
Meanwhile, Rangel continues to chair the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Democrats are expected to block a Republican attempt to strip Rangel of his chairmanship on Wednesday.
Over in the Senate, Ensign admitted in June to having an affair with a former staffer's wife, paying the couple off with $96,000. The plot thickened last week when the New York Times reported that Ensign may have broken ethics rules when he tried to set the staffer, Doug Hampton, up with a lobbying job.
The Senate Ethics Committee does not comment on ongoing investigations, so it was news Oct. 4 when Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who chairs the committee, admitted even that her colleagues were conducting a "preliminary inquiry" into Ensign's activities.
Boxer's confirmation of the preliminary inquiry came more than three months after Ensign admitted to having the affair and resigned his Senate Republican leadership post.
Since admitting to the affair, Ensign has clammed up about his dealings with Hampton. He told CNN Tuesday that he would cooperate with all investigations, but would not comment about them while they were ongoing.
While the Sixth Amendment in the Bill of Rights guarantees American citizens a fair, speedy and public trial when they're accused of criminal wrongdoing, lawmakers like Ensign and Rangel play by a different set of rules when they're accused of breaking ethics rules.
Internal congressional inquiries drag on for months and months, are conducted behind closed doors, and rarely result in any disciplinary action. Senators Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn., never admitted any wrongdoing over the VIP loans they received from Countrywide Financial and said they hadn't a clue they might have violated Senate gift rules. It took the ethics committee 14 months to agree.
It's a broken system, according to Melanie Sloan, who runs Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which made a formal complaint about Ensign to the Senate Ethics Committee in July. They also asked the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate whether he broke federal law by paying off Hampton.
"They never actually enforce the ethics rules," she said of the House and Senate ethics committees. "The ethics committees are there for cover."
Sloan pointed to Sen. David Vitter, D-La., as an example. Vitter admitted at a press conference in July 2007 to hiring a prostitute when he was a member of the House of Representatives after his phone number was revealed in the trial of the "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

After completing K-5 at Hillbrook we've found a wonderful refuge at Valley Christian. The teachers are enthusiastic and experienced and the academics are rigorous but very well thought out. The conservatory program is world-class and their science and math program is award-winning for a reason. Also the system they have to manage homework attendance and grades is AMAZING for parents to easily stay on top of everything. I couldn't be happier with our choice to attend Valley. It's a beautiful school with wonderful teachers that care. Take a tour and check it out !!

The debate on whether art should be for art's sake and what should be an artist's role in society is an old one. In the 19th century, some artists began to argue that creative works possessed their own intrinsic value and must not be required to satisfy utilitarian or moral functions. French novelist and critic Théophile Gautier promoted the slogan 'l'art pour l'art' (that translated into 'art for art's sake'). In his 1891 essay 'The Soul of Man Under Socialism', Oscar Wilde wrote, "…the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or a dishonest tradesman." In India, too, this has been a subject of much debate. And clearly the last word has not been said.
The issue was under the scanner again on June 28, when the Sahitya Akademi in Mumbai invited experts to speak on the subject of Contexts of Literary Culture through the eyes of Marathi, Sindhi, Konkani and Gujarati literature. The theme was a broad one and, as Prem Prakash, convenor of the Akademi's Sindhi advisory board pointed out, could be quite "confusing". But it also meant that each speaker offered completely different insights, studying the subject from various angles, ranging from discussions on classical texts to e-books. Through the varied discussions, one central point came through quite strongly – that literature certainly is a product of its time and context, linked intrinsically to society in multiple ways.
As K Sreenivasarao, secretary, Sahitya Akademi, explained during his welcome address: "A literary text or a literary work of art has ample contexts. First comes its writer. Then come the times in which the writer has created the work of art. And the ways the readers receive the work. We need to observe if the work represents a particular tradition, or if it is off the traditions. And in what way the culture, in general, the institutions of religion, state, and so on influences the literary work of art." He also referred to other aspects such as the publishers, reviewers and the market, and how they impacted literature.
Bhalchandra Nemade, convenor of the Marathi advisory board, Sahitya Akademi, spoke of how literary work was often controlled by 'visible' structures such as institutions, and by other 'invisible' influences. There is a tacit agreement, for instance, on self-censorship, and avoiding blasphemy. Referring to Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie, he added that those who break such social codes end up paying a heavy price.
Partition as a historical context in India cropped up time and again, with more than one speaker referring to Bhisham Sahni's novel Tamas, about the carnage that accompanied Indian independence. "Bhisham Sahni's all-time great literary text Tamas, Rajendra Singh Bedi's Ek Chadar Maili Si, Mohan Rakesh's Aadhe Adhure or Carmelin and Tsunami Simon of Damodar Mauzo are textual interpretations of a certain cultural texture. They underline social and cultural problems, although they are read on an individual's platform," said SM Tadkodkar, head of the department of Marathi, Goa University.
For Sindhi writers too, Partition and the subsequent loss of land was a defining moment. Namdev Tarachandani and Mohan Gehani spoke of its effects on Sindhi literature. Tara Mirchandani's story Gopu, for instance, reflected the reality of camp life and the bleak struggle for survival. It took more than 20 years for Sindhi to find its place in the eighth schedule of the Constitution, and with no land to nurture the language, the community found an increasing disconnect with its roots. "In this grim situation, a window of opportunity can be discerned in the domain of the Internet," Gehani said, speaking of sites such as www.sindhsalamat.com and www.sindhisangat.com.
Inevitably, the question of globalisation came up, with Marathi author Aruna Dubhashi observing that western values were being sought to be imposed along with the English language. "It is important that we preserve the central values of our literature and our multi-cultural society from this force of globalisation," she said.
So is there a last word on what Indian literature is all about? While most would agree that Indian writing is too vast to be reduced to quick definitions, Konkani author Bhushan Bhave came pretty close to summing it up. "Indian literature is one, though written in many languages," he said.
"It is unity in diversity. We may have varieties of food, dress, customs and so on; none of these differences come in the way of Indian-ness," he added. It is this diversity that provides the cultural landscape for Indian writing, providing it a context that few writers can ignore.

MILWAUKEE -- Washington State standout Klay Thompson is rising up draft boards around the NBA after some polished performances in individual workouts for a dozen teams.
Thompson was at it again Wednesday for the Milwaukee Bucks, who are well aware like everyone else in the NBA of Thompson's pedigree.
He's the middle son of former No. 1 overall draft pick Mychal Thompson, who was picked by Portland in 1978 and went on to win three NBA titles with the Lakers.
Once he gets into the workout, much like the European players, he's so fundamentally sound that going to the workouts are really a benefit to him and the teams looking at him, Bucks scouting director Billy McKinney said.
Klay Thompson has had to grow up quickly after dealing with a marijuana citation near the Pullman campus. He was suspended for one game after the March incident.
I'm not going to say I'm happy it happened, but it was almost good it happened sooner or later because I was going down the wrong path and if I want to fulfill my potential and play in this league, I can't be messing around with that stuff, Thompson said. I haven't done it since.
The 21-year-old was a sharpshooter at Washington State, with the type of height and length that NBA scouts fawn over -- he's 6-foot-7 and can play point guard, shooting guard or small forward. He finished first on the Cougars' all-time list in 3-point field goals (242) and third in points (1,756) in just three seasons.
Thompson also has some inside knowledge of the Bucks. His older brother, Mychel, worked out for the team on Tuesday and the boys are both friends with Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings.
I think I'd be a perfect fit playing alongside Brandon, that kid is great with the ball, Klay Thompson said. I can stretch the floor, be a great threat from the off-guard position and be a complete guard -- defend, rebound, pass, do whatever coach asks me to do.
Milwaukee picks 10th in next Thursday's draft and the organization is interested in Thompson. Colorado's Alec Burks and Texas' Jordan Hamilton are in the mix, too.
Thompson is hoping to move past the questions about the marijuana citation. He must appear before authorities on July 7 and provide a clean drug test for the incident to be removed from his record. The citation included a $500 fine.
His father was critical of his son's decisions at the time, saying Klay had embarrassed himself and let down his teammates and his school. Klay Thompson was more embarrassed.
He was really disappointed, but I think I was the most upset at myself, Thompson said. I learned a tremendous amount about myself, just being able to apologize in front of my fans and it was a humbling experience. I'm glad I went through it and fought through it.
Thompson also has had to answer the question repeatedly for every team looking to invest the future of their franchises in him.
It's understandable. It's humbling, he said. I just tell them the truth, because if you don't, they're going to find out either way.

Riviera coach home model in Traditions at Grey Oaks showcases eclectic coastal design
The newly opened, fully-furnished Riviera coach home model at Traditions in Grey Oaks is the latest addition to a product mix that continues to attract homebuyers to the community's rapidly selling neighborhood.
The second-floor residence features 3,170 square feet under air, a two-car garage with a dedicated golf cart parking area, and five covered outdoor balconies. The floor plan includes three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a den, a living room measuring 20 feet, 5 inches by 32 feet, a formal dining room and a gourmet island kitchen.
In addition to its private covered balcony, the master suite includes a sitting room, walk-in closets and a bath with a double vanity. Each guest bedroom includes a private bath, walk-in closet and a covered balcony. Coffered ceilings are found throughout the Riviera.
The Riviera's eclectic coastal interior was designed and executed by Kelly Young, Allied Member, ASID of Kelly Young Design Associates in Plantation, Fla. Her blend of muted tones and sophisticated décor creates a welcoming feeling throughout the residence. Cool aqua blues, alabaster white, soft dune grass and sea mist greens, weathered driftwood grays and sand tones define the model's color palette.
Pastel aqua and key lime green wall tones play against Cabin Creek balmy gray planked tile flooring that has a wood look. Young reversed the tile pattern in the middle of the living room to convey an inlaid feeling that defines the sitting area. Transitional furnishings mingle with soft and rich-textured fabrics. In the bedrooms, fine linens from Gattle's, sentimental objects and travel souvenirs complete the Riviera's luxurious allure.
"I love all of the homes that I design and I could move into the Riviera," said Young. "I like the space of it. I love being up high and it's really big and open. It's very new and very fresh with a casual beachy edge to it. From the entry and foyer, visitors have the choice of taking an elevator or a sweeping oak staircase that has a rich chocolate finish. Panels have been created on the staircase wall and finished with a weathered grass cloth covering. Brushed nickel sconces add to the flow up the staircase. The combination serves as a prelude for the look found in the wonderfully large living room."
Young has furnished the living room with an oversized oyster chenille sofa with sea glass colored textured throw pillows. A square, resin fossilized contemporary coffee table has silver highlights and plays against two dark framed wood chairs with a soft, icy teal ribbed ottoman fabric. A bench opposite the two chairs has a taupe-grey fabric and a dark wood frame. The sitting area faces a low, 12-foot long custom built-in console and a vertical, floor-to-ceiling drywall built-in with eight lighted boxes. The living room also features a wet bar adjacent to a French door that opens to a balcony.
Double doors lead from the living room to a den with a light gray built-in that includes an inset sofa. The sofa's light, grassy-green fabric and ocean colored pillows compliment the room's oyster-toned walls.
Young has created an inviting dining room with a light, sand-rift caramel/creamy colored distressed painted buffet with a Bombay front. A bench seat is incorporated in the buffet and faces a dining table that seats eight. Natural light flows through windows dressed with pulled back linen drapes with a sheer overlay in an aqua and ivory wave pattern. Sliders open to a covered terrace with a kitchen area.
The kitchen's squared-off island and lower perimeter cabinets feature winter maple wood grain cabinetry. The Giallo ornamental granite used on the perimeter wraps around the island and compliments the island's vein-cut, chiseled-edge silver Travertine counter top. Two bar stools are positioned at a raised bar. The kitchen's upper perimeter cabinetry is painted seashell pewter. A JennAire appliance package is included and the refrigerator features a paneled front.
The Riviera's large master suite offers flexibility. The bedroom can be configured as one spacious area or, as Young has chosen to do, outfitted with a cutout wall to create a sitting area that is perfect for reading and television viewing. Young has created an intimate space that accommodates two large chenille chairs and a dark gray television console. The flooring in the sitting room and the master bedroom is 18-by-18-inch white honed Calcutta marble with gray veining that plays against deep-toned aqua walls.
In the master bedroom, a dark wood bed has a headboard with a cutout woven flower pattern finished with a caramel velvet inlay. Two contemporary, artistic night stands match the headboard and framed bed. An open console opposite the bed includes various accessories and collected items.
In the master bath, white honed Calcutta marble flooring is accented by bands of Hammerlin silver and mixed glass tile mosaics that match a large horizontal band above the shower wall. A Hammerlin silver mixed glass horizontal awning stripe tile detail is also included on a white Calcutta wall above the tub and on the shower walls. Ladena white square sinks are set in an Alabaster pure Sapri maple vanity cabinet that have been painted white and topped by a white polished Calcutta marble counter top.
Unfurnished Riviera residences with upgrades are available priced starting at $713,832.
A second coach home model, the Pinehurst first-floor residence, includes 2,557 square feet under air with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a den and a large master suite with a private covered terrace, walk-in closets, coffered ceilings and a detailed master bath. The plan also includes a two-car garage with a golf cart storage area. Unfurnished Pinehurst residences with upgrades are available starting at $641,957.
Traditions at Grey Oaks is an enclave of villas and coach homes being developed by Halstatt Partnership and CC Devco. Seven coach home buildings with 28 new residences are planned. At build-out, Traditions will include 60 coach homes and 62 single-family villas.
Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Grey Oaks Country Club's amenities are completed, member-owned and debt free. Resident and nonresident memberships are available. Along with its well established nonresident equity membership offering, Grey Oaks is now making nonrefundable, full golf memberships available to nonresidents for $95,000.
Grey Oaks Country Club is on Airport Pulling Road, north of Golden Gate Parkway in Naples. Online at greyoakscc.com.

Area rug
I've gotten many compliments on this rug. It lies flat without any curling.Read More
I bought this rug for our game room - to go under a foosball table more specifically. It works great for that and I love the added color to the room. However, if I planned to use it anywhere else I'd be disappointed. It's rather thin and looks kind of cheap if you look at it closely. For me it served its purpose for an affordable price.Read More

Great buy
I was looking for a predominantly light colored rug for a bedroom and didn't want to pay hundreds for a wool or oriental style This rug is perfect for a smaller room. The design is cheerful and and even playful. The mix of colors on an ivory background will go with almost any color scheme. For around $$$ it has to be one of the best deals out there. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.Read More

Great rug for the money...
This rug is very pretty and soft to walk on. It is not plush by any means, but at this price point, I hadn't expected it to be. I am using it in a nursery until we can change the carpet. It did take it a while to fully flatten because the backer is very stiff, but now that it is, it looks just like the picture. I'm happy with my purchase.Read More

Adelaide secure Central Coast defender Boogaard
Adelaide United have made a significant signing for next season, securing Central Coast Mariners defender Nigel Boogaard.
The 23-year olds contract at the Mariners expires at the end of the season and he will join the Reds for the 2010/11 season and for a further season after that.
Boogaard has been in impressive form this term but said he was delighted to have sorted out his future with a new club although he did admit it was a weird situation.
"I've always respected the way Adelaide United both play football on the field and have done things off the field. The chance to move to Adelaide and join the club is something I'm really looking forward to," Boogaard said from Gosford.
"Obviously it's a funny situation. On a personal level, I'd still like to win with the Central Coast Mariners, but I'd also like to see Adelaide finish the season strongly as well, so there is obviously mixed feelings there. But on a professional level I'm still with the Central Coast, and hopefully we can beat Adelaide when we meet."

Tree stump
What can be used to "kill" a tree stump? I cut down an Ash tree in the front yard and it's going to be dificult to remove or grind the stump.
Is there a Chemical that couls be Injectied (or poured in drilled hols) to kill it.
The stump keeps sprouting new growth and i'm having to use a shovel ot remove it 1-2 times a week.
Yes there is a product, that I think is call Stump Remover that should be available at most garden centers. All you do is drill holes in the stump pour in the chemical, the fill each hole with water. The about 1 month or more you should be able to start removing the stump.
The other option is to burn it out with either the Stump Removal product by filling the holes with kerosene (instead of water). Let it sit for a few weeks then pour kerosene on the stump and light.
The other option is to use charcoal to burn out. By digging a small ditch around the stump. Then put charcoal on the stump and around the ditch and light.
I guess you could also rent a stump grinder from a rental place for about 50-75 bucks and grind it out.
Burning's not a option.......... I'm in the "city" if you want to call it that........ Don't really wanna deal with the mess of grinding it as it's literally next to the sidewalk...........

In hearings Wednesday in Highland County Common Pleas Court, two defendants were sentenced, three others pleaded guilty and await sentencing, and one was granted judicial release to the STAR program.
Joshua J. Dettwiller, 22, was granted judicial release to the STAR program.
Judge Rocky Coss said a bed at the treatment facility would not be available until March and that Dettwiller would remain incarcerated until that time.
During the hearing, initiated by the defendant without benefit of an attorney, Dettwiller told the judge that he had used his time in prison to better himself, having received his GED, and that he has attended parenting classes. He also told the judge he was hoping to be referred to STAR for treatment, which the state did not object to.
Dettwiller was sentenced to 24 months in prison last May for illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a third-degree felony.
Once released, Dettwiller will have to successfully complete the treatment program as well as any recommended aftercare or he could face returning to prison.
In another matter, Donte S. Captain, 18, of Hillsboro, and Dresan S. Mathis, 19, of Washington C.H., were each sentenced to three years community control for third-degree felony burglary.
While prosecutor Anneka Collins said the victim requested terms of prison for both, she said the underlying circumstances of the case are "extraordinary."
That was reiterated by Captain's attorney, Allyce Horne, as well as Mathis' attorney, Bill Armintrout, who both said the defendants knew the victim and the items taken from the residence, which were later returned, were things that they had permission to use in the past. They also said that the defendants had been to the residence at other times with permission.
While the judge gave the defendants probation instead of prison, Coss told them both that the offense is a "very serious matter" and any violations of probation will likely result in prison.
Neither defendant has a criminal history and both have been compliant with the terms of their pretrial supervision. Both were sentenced to three years community control. Additionally, Captain was ordered to continue in counseling, and be assessed by FRS and follow any recommended treatment.
In other hearings, three defendants pleaded guilty and await sentencing at a later date.
Ryan Skaggs, 39, of Greenfield, pleaded guilty to possession of heroin, a fifth-degree felony.
Skaggs will be sentenced on Feb. 14 following the completion of a presentence investigation.
Coss said that per the plea agreement, the state would not be opposed to community control sanctions.
A request by Skaggs' attorney for an O.R. bond was denied by Coss because Skaggs is currently in custody of the county jail due to a bench warrant issued when he failed to appear for a November hearing in common pleas court. The judge said an O.R. bond was not appropriate, but he did lower Skaggs' bond to $1,000.
Camry M. Lower, 25, of Washington C.H., pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property, a fifth-degree felony.
A presentence investigation was ordered and sentencing was set for next month.
Coss said the plea agreement stated the state would not oppose community control.
Donald L. McKenzie, 37, of Hillsboro, pleaded guilty to aggravated possession of methamphetamine, a fifth-degree felony.
McKenzie will be sentenced next month after the completion of a presentence investigation.
In other court news, Justin Nunn, 28, of Hillsboro, pleaded guilty on Monday by a bill of information to second-degree felony burglary.
Nunn was sentenced to three years in prison and will face three years of post-release control following the completion of the prison term.

Ryan Villopoto is simply padding his stats and collecting win bonuses at this point. He stands seventh on the all-time Supercross win list. Sweeping the rest of the season will tie Bob Hannah at 27 wins.
Monster Energy Kawasaki's
Ryan Villopoto
secured his ninth win of the season after dominating in New Orleans, and now returns to his home state of Washington as AMA Monster Energy Supercross heads to Seattle's CenturyLink Field. This 15th stop of the 2012 season also brings Villopoto back to where he won the first SX race of his career in 2009. Since then, Villopoto has become the first rider in history to clinch the championship with four races remaining on schedule. Apart from witnessing other records crumble under his Kawasaki's tires, the real question moving forward is "who will secure second?"
In New Orleans, Jeff Ward Racing Kawasaki's
Josh Grant
came out of relative points obscurity to finish second, owing largely to a good start out of the gate which allowed him to hold position for the entire race. New Orleans was Grant's best finish since his 2009 win at the Anaheim 1 opener and is the first podium for the new Jeff Ward Racing team. Regardless of anomalies though, the points battle for second in the championship remains between JGRMX Yamaha rider Davi Millsaps and Muscle Milk Honda's Justin Brayton. Millsaps' teammate, James Stewart, is out with a reported broken hand and has not announced when he will return to racing.
Millsaps (top) and Brayton (above) are duking it out over second place in the championship standings.
Millsaps slipped a bit in New Orleans, taking sixth and allowing his Honda rival to come within five points of second overall. Brayton lucked out when MotoConcepts Suzuki's
Mike Alessi
made contact in with a lapped rider near the end of the New Orleans race and crashed. This put the Honda rider in third and he was able to hold the spot comfortably, finishing more than six seconds ahead of Yoshimura Suzuki rider Brett Metcalfe.
The factory Suzuki pilot is in position to be a contender for a top-three finish in the series if he can out ride Millsaps and Brayton in Seattle. If Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jake Weimer can avoid jumping off the track, he will also be one to watch, sitting only one point shy of Metcalfe's sixth-place standing.
Brayton showed his skill at coming back from a lackluster start in New Orleans, as well as L&M Honda rider
Andrew Short
. Alessi also proved he's no slouch last round and could disrupt the contentious battle between Millsaps and Brayton if he can figure out how to hold it together for a full 20 laps. With so many top-tier riders out with injuries, and so many others showing heart in the final rounds of the 2012 season, it's anyone's guess who will score a podium interview in Seattle.
Western Region Supercross Lites racers finally get back into the action in Seattle. These 250 riders haven't raced since San Diego on February 11. The battle rages between Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson and Geico Honda's Eli Tomac. The last time this duo squared off in SD it resulted in Tomac crashing and breaking his elbow while Wilson took the win. Despite leading 40 laps this season compared to Wilson's 30 laps, the major disaster in Qualcomm Stadium allowed the Kawasaki pilot a two-point advantage. Tomac has been stewing on that for the past couple months and now that his teammate Justin Barcia has claimed the Eastern title, he's going to be ramped up in the Northwest.
Cole Seely has an outside shot at claiming the West Coast Lites championship for TLD Honda.
Troy Lee Designs Honda rider Cole Seely entered the break period on the high notes of back-to-back runner-up finishes. He also had the opportunity to stay in the racing regimen by jumping aboard Trey Canard's vacant factory Muscle Milk Honda CRF450R. He was able to run with the likes of Ryan Dungey, Villopoto and James Stewart courtesy of a holeshot and eventually scored sixth at Atlanta. The replacement rider then netted a top-five result at Indianapolis. There was some tough luck mixed in with the 450 success, but he has to have come away from the break with some added confidence. He's ridden the pace of higher caliber riders and also stayed in the racing mode while other West Coast Lites contenders were stuck at the practice track. Seely is only 15 points out of the championship lead, a manageable deficit with two rounds remaining.
Marvin Musquin is another 250 racer who opted to step into the Supercross class during the down time. The Frenchman didn't have the same level of success that Seely did, but he'll be back on his familiar Red Bull KTM 250 SX-F after muscling around the larger 350 machine.
The races will broadcast live on SPEED starting at 7:30 p.m. PST.

Assassin's Creed III
After Assassin's Creed 2 this game is meh.
- Back To:
- Board List

Now I am a big Assassin's Creed fan. Played every one and enjoyed them all, yes even Revelations. But Assassin's Creed 3 proves that when you rush a product it won't live up to it's previous games. My first problem is the menu's and tutorials. They are horrible. I am almost 10 hours in and I have no idea how to effectively make money. Also who's idea was it make the quick select menu not in game. In Assassin's Creed 2 all you had to do was press one button and use one analog stick. Now you have to press R2 wait for it to load and use the right and left analog sticks to select items. It is annoying. Mission layout isn't much better. Stealth is broken, checkpoints are horribly placed. I like the onscreen button layout in Assassin's Creed 2 that told me if I am close enough to assassinate someone. I have to guess now. Also running and free running on the same button, ugh. Lastly the graphics. They look ugly. It is obvious this engine is intended for the next generation cause it looks horrible. I wish companies would quit using next gen engines on current gen hardware. Battlefield 3 and MOH: Warfighter looked ugly on consoles cause it was using a engine that was too powerful for the hardware. Sorry for the wall of text.
Gaming is suppose to be fun, so enjoy it.
I'm in the opposite mindset after ac3 the previous games are meh

GT: James Upton
I have to agree with TC in some aspects.
Resistance: Fall of Man username: [AM>]Shadow_Angel

I agree about the menu and instructions, but disagree about the graphics. I haven't finished yet (not even close) so I can't speak to the story. I like the change in running.
Best topic ever: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/938621-playstation-home/47119413
I agree with just about everything, except I still really like Brotherhood. After that it got a little too drawn out.

hey there - just joined .
anyone else find ac3 fatally flawed -
game play is pure cack - a quicktime event for every goddamn wolf (1 of which is capable of killing you) wtf ????
stealth is pathetic too - you walk past npcs and have no idea if your spotted till its too late .
i've perservered for a couple of hours ( just into the wilds) and i;'m seriously thinking of binning it .
does it get any easier/better ?
how f**kin disappointing
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
The core gameplay is as good, if not better than the others. The fighting mechanics are good (even though they totally took any skill out of counter-attacking now) and look great.
That being said, I agree with you. The whole thing about sending caravans, crafting things, making money made no sense to me I also didn't send any assassins out on missions because it didn't seem like it really made any difference if I did or didn't. I often forgot I could honestly.
I also didn't use the Assassin's as much in general as much as I did in Brotherhood,but the options were cooler in 3. Faking that I was a prisoner to get into an area and then unleashing was cool. But I agree. The tutorials on what to do in the accounting books and everything were horrible and forgettable. That's why I forgot how to do most of them lol.

Virtus Bologna staged a brilliant late fightback to down BC Kalev 85-82 on Wednesday and book their spot in the quarter-finals of the EuroCup.Virtus looked to be suffering a hangover from their heart-breaking late defeat to Benetton Treviso in the Coppa Italia final at the weekend, as they trailed for much of the match in Estonia.
And it all looked as good as over for Zare Markovski's side as a Catalin Burlacu jump shot put hosts Kalev 61-50 ahead with just 59 seconds remaining in the third period.But Virtus raced down the other end immediately after Burlacu's basket and an Ilian Evtimov three-pointer helped spark a remarkable turnabout in fortune for the Italian side.A Christian Drejer dunk just before the end of the period further reduced the deficit to 61-55, and then red-hot Virtus outscored their opponents 30-21 in the last quarter to take the three-point victory.Virtus would have been desperate for an immediate response to Sunday's Coppa Italia final defeat, where they lost 67-65 to Benetton despite not going behind until the last 45 seconds of the match.But a 7-0 run early on puts hosts Kalev in control at 14-9 and they extended that advantage to 26-17 by the end of the third period, Valmo Kriisa and Burlacu both scoring nine points apiece for the home side.Virtus responded at the start of the second period and Vlado Ilievski's three-pointer actually put them ahead at 31-30 midway through the quarter.But Kalev, who had lost all four of their Round II matches before this one, enjoyed another purple patch as they scored 11 unanswered points to take a 41-31 lead at the interval.Kalev continued to hold their opponents at arm's length during the third period, but Evitmov's three-pointer gave Virtus something to build on and they moved up a gear in the final 10 minutes to record their fourth win in five Group L matches.Brett Blizzard led five Virtus players into double figures, pacing his side with 18 points, three rebounds and four assists.However, the leading individual in the game was on Kalev's side, with Burlacu pouring in 23 points and grabbing seven rebounds, while his team-mate Travis Reed weighed in with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Daniele Cavicchi, Virtus' assistant coach who served as a head coach for this game, said "I was happy that we won this game, especially since our head coach (Zare Markovski) stayed in Italy due to illness.""We played good first three quoters, then they started making some important three-pointers," added BC Kalev coach Veselin Matic."I think our game was somewhat hurt because our point guard [Kriisa] quickly picked up his first three fouls in the first quarter."

Wrongly convicted man free after 8 years
Uriah Courtney faced a lifetime behind bars. His spiritual rebirth and the discovery of new DNA evidence helped set him free.
The verdict meant the jury thought Gambino was lying, and one of its members told him as much afterward. "This is insane," Gambino remembered thinking at the time.
It also upset him to see so much despair on the face of his wife, Mary. She had taken time off from her nursing job to attend the trial every day. "It was my son," she said. "I knew what they were accusing him of was not my son."
Being in court was more stressful than anything she'd experienced, even divorce. She couldn't believe it when she learned from the testimony that the CD touched by E.J.'s attacker was never fingerprinted. (A deputy returned it before realizing its importance.) Sometimes she wanted to stand up and defend her son: "He's not the monster you're making him out to be!"
At the end of each trial day, Courtney turned around and smiled at her. She knew he was trying to stay strong. "I wanted to be able to hug him and tell him it was going to be OK," she said. "But it wasn't going to be OK." She'd come home and work out her anxiety in the garden, pulling weeds.
Rick Gambino dealt with his stress by digging, too — digging for anything that might undo the conviction. One part of him wanted to be finished with Courtney — his stepson had caused the family so much pain — but a bigger part couldn't stomach what was happening. He had to do something.
He went to the crime scene and took pictures of a homeless camp overlooking the street, wondering if the attacker had hidden there. He poked through the brush behind the Home Depot, thinking maybe the attacker threw the CD player away while fleeing. He took pictures of other white pickup trucks with camper shells whenever he came across them.
And he scoured his business files, hunting for documents he hadn't already turned over to the attorneys. He found cellphone bills.
Gambino had five phones for his business. Looking at the records, he remembered that Courtney had used one of the phones. On the day of the attack, there were calls between Courtney and his girlfriend — she was meeting him for lunch at the Midway Post Office — at 11:11 a.m., 11:36 a.m. and 11:39 a.m. The attack happened at about 11:45 a.m., 12 miles away in Lemon Grove. The jury never heard that evidence. The girlfriend didn't testify.
The cellphone logs were used in filing a motion for a new trial. Gambino thought their significance was obvious. But the court system is hesitant to undo what's already been decided by a jury. Judge Robert O'Neill, who presided over the trial, rejected the motion.
He dismissed the phone records as "a red herring" that only proves when the calls were made, not where. "We have two witnesses in this trial who testified and identified the defendant," the judge said. "That's the reality of the situation."
So the system moved on to Courtney's sentencing. E.J. told the judge, "I shouldn't be afraid to walk. I'm more afraid to walk in the daytime than at night. I shouldn't be afraid to walk anywhere at all." She said she was glad Courtney wouldn't be able to harm anyone else.

2015 University Student Rocketry Challenge
Welcome to the homepage of the 2015 University Student Rocketry Challenge. This year, the USRC is a multi-stage competition that challenges students to design, build, and launch a multi-stage rocket carrying a payload of 0.50 lb to 3000 ft.
The USRC is designed so that it can be successfully completed by teams with no to little experience in high-powered rocketry, but also to pose a challenge to teams who have rocketry experience. Teams will be awarded points for both reaching higher altitudes and flying rockets with more stages, allowing teams to determine which approach is optimal for them. Teams must also document their design and fabrication through engineering reports, which will be submitted for review by the judging panel and scored.
Who is Eligible?
Entry to the USRC is open to students or teams of students from any university in the United States. There is no cost to enter the competition. Please send a letter of intent to email@example.com to enter the competition. The letter should state your intent to compete, and should have a roster of team members and their contact info attached (which can be updated at any point during the competition if needed).
Selection of Winners and Prizes
The competition will be scored by a panel of three or more judges (names to be announced). These judges will score the design reports and will be responsible for the final determination of flight scores. At the conclusion of the competition, the first place team will receive a cash prize of $500, to be awarded at the SpaceVision 2015 conference in Boston, MA in November 2015.
Official Rules
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or to submit a team roster!
