They say that when one door closes, another opens. So it seems is the case with the area's restaurants.
Mia Carolina, which opened in 2005 in the space formerly occupied by Mezzanotte — once home to Fratelli's — closed its doors on March 31. Mia Carolina owner Jay Cohen remodeled the once Italian-themed space in 2007, updating the décor to better reflect fine dining in the innocuous strip Glyndon Square Shopping Center, and named it after his daughter.
You may recall that it was Fratelli's that paved the way for the first liquor license to be granted in what was once the dry Methodist town of Glyndon. And did they pack them in! It was once the hottest place to go to dinner.
Opening Monday, June 3 on Owings Mills Boulevard in the front left corner of the Boulevard Center will be the second venture of the northern-Virginia- based Stone's Cove Kitbar. Co-owner B.J. Stone is billing the kitbar as a "totally new interactive dining experience" that he calls "recess for adults".
Stone decided to capitalize on the concept that most dinner parties seem to naturally gravitate to the kitchen. His restaurant combines an open kitchen and bar area with seating around that is serviced by "ChefTenders", who entertain with their scintillating personalities while seeing to your every whim and need.
Stone also took note of the fact that grazing and sampling and sharing are a huge part of the present dining experience. The menu focuses then on shareable plates called Appetapas and Edibations, (both of which have registered trademarks), along with Grabbers. His partnership with KOR Food Innovation founder and Chef John L. Csukor helped him develop the concept into the menu offered.
Look for the standard libations with the Stone's Cove Kitbar twist. Their wine list is touted as being "carefully crafted" to compliment their food and their hops will offer "the usual suspects" along with local brews.
Stone's years in the corporate dining trenches of Cheesecake Factory, TGI Fridays, Bennigan's, Copeland's, Outback and Bonefish Grill have more than prepared him for this venture. So did a heart attack thirteen years ago. Surviving gave him a new perspective and a new direction: Venture philanthropy. Ten percent of the Kitbar's profits goes to the Do Good Things Foundation, a philanthropic initiative that partners with charitable organizations.
Let's all wish the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company a heartfelt happy 100th anniversary. In all of Baltimore County the company ranks in the 95th percentile. That means it strives to respond to emergency calls in three minutes and take six minutes to respond to nonemergency calls.
The community is invited to join the volunteers on Saturday, May 18for the Fireman's Parade at 9 a.m. Watch them as they march north on Main Street, beginning at Chartley Drive and concluding at Harvest View.
You'll have a firsthand look at the company's antique and modern day fire equipment with which you'll gain a better perspective on what it takes to fight a fire that threatens you and the structure you inhabit. You may also see invited participants from the surrounding Baltimore and Carroll counties.
On the company's actual anniversary date — June 11, which falls this year on a Tuesday — they will dedicate the addition and renovation of their firehouse, following a flag raising ceremony taking place at noon. The ceremony will also include a dedication of the memorial that honors all of those who have served with the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company.
The Reisterstown-Owings Mills-Glyndon Chamber of Commerce has hired Colleen Brady to function in their newly created position of staff president. Colleen owned and operated Peace of Mind Yoga Studio at 317 Main Street from 2002 to 2007.
She says that her vision for the Chamber is to elevate its presence in the community through increased communication with networking as a tool. She hopes to raise the Chamber's level of visibility with the aforementioned and subsequently grow its membership.
Congratulations go out to William Yurcik, a sixth-grader from Franklin Middle School. He is one of thirteen new Baltimore County Public School students named as 2013 Carson Scholars by the Carson Scholars Fund. He will receive a $1,000 college scholarship for his "outstanding academic achievements and humanitarian qualities".
The following Franklin High School students had their scholar status renewed: Allier Kapus in grade 11 is a five-time scholar winner. Jenna Rohde in grade 12 is a two-time scholar winner. That rates another WOW!
From Franklin Middle School is three-time winner McKenzie Patrick in grade 7, who WOWs us yet again.
Congratulations to all!
Don't forget, the Reisterstown's Bloomin' ArtFest is back again this Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The event will, as in past years, take place on the grounds of Franklin Middle School and will offer live music by the Reisterstown Jazz Ensemble, Lyle & Cat Montanye and Heads Up.
On hand will be the Raven's Mascot Poe, The Oriole Bird, and the opportunity to buy a chance for the football autographed by Joe Flacco. Along with those vendors participating, note that the shops all along Main Street will be open, and invite you to come by.
You can also plan on spending your Friday evenings on Main Street, beginning on June 21 with the weekly free event of Music on Main Street, sponsored by the Reisterstown Improvement Association. Every Friday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. you can come and be entertained on the lawn of Franklin Middle School. Bring your lawn chairs and nibbles and relax. You'll have this opportunity through September.
Still looking for something to do? Well then, the Glyndon Volunteer Fire Department will again be holding their Flea and Farmers' Market the first Saturday of every month through November. Vendors will be hawking their wares both inside the fire house and outside on their grounds and refreshments will be offered.
A very special birthday wish to: Ellis Owrutsky (90), Alvin Tamres (99), Anita Fisher (85),
Congratulations on your milestone wedding anniversary: Beverly and Leon Albin (65), Elayne and Buzz Berg (60), Marion and Philip Freedman (65), Arlene and Norman Glaser (55), and Annette and Wilfred Romanoff.
Mazel Tov on the Bar Mitzvah of Samuel Jaye Berg, Ezra Lev Seegull, Jared Scott Hurwitz, Jack Lebow, and Ethan Barr.
Mazel Tov on the Bat Mitzvah of Dora Jill Berg, Abigail Rose Reibman, and Jocelyn Esther Gann,
My condolences on the passing of Shabse Kurland.
Look for my next column on Thursday, June 13.


text: i was sitting here la dee da at the computer listening to wonderful music discovering sensible rhythms when i stumbled onto a kerouac poem. now me and kerouac aren't too familiar with one another. i've heard a few of his ramblings, i've read some of on the road and i generally know the spirit of the guy, but sitting here i stumbled onto "october in the railroad earth", which i clicked on the stereo and i was in love. this man made my rambles look terse straight to the point, dishonest even. i clicked it on and he started talking about san francisco, a recent lover of mine, and i could have misinterpreted but i think he predicted in the piece that rich men would come and take over the city, which they did. don't get me wrong, there's still something about san francisco, i learned that during my time out there, but kerouac was on the ball. steven allen behind him kicking those white keys just as hard as the black ones, all live, all real, all viral and not sterile and megalithic and true. jazz. duh, it was jazz. i was enamoured and it went on and on and on and i followed along with the text and then the text came to an end. but it went on and on and on and i was still in love with jack kerouac and i understood a little better what ginsberg said when he said he fell in love with jack kerouac. everything was making sense. the walls were falling down and just when i thought i was on the trip back from hearing and discovering every great poet there was that there's ever been here came jack like a good, solid nineteen fifties jazz bar punch in the face to wake me up. cold whiskey thrown at me. punch drunk and rawly starstruck it kept going and then it ended. and then a commercial for mcdonalds holiday smoothies came on the speakers and ruined a perfectly good moment.

Whole Body Vibration – Hypervibe Performance Machine Review
We continue our series review of Whole Body Vibration machines. Whole Body Vibration exercise enables people to get 1 hours of exercise in 10 minutes. It is so effective that you only need to exercise 3 times a week to see major benefits from your routine. If you have not read our article on this technology please do so here.
Our review process is looking at machines in the pivotal and vertical platforms as well as under 10 and over 10 G ranges. The Hypervibe machine is one well-built machine. This definitely is the Cadillac of the over 10 G capable pivotal whole body vibration machines on the market today. Whole body vibration machines are suitable for in-home exercise areas. But many of these machines lack the capability of the more commercial machines seen in many of the fitness centers. Not true with this machine. The Hypervibe Performance series machine brings a full 17 G worth of power to your personal fitness area at home.
It's very noticeable that this machine has been well thought out, the control panel is very simple to use yet very flexible. The Hypervibe comes programmed with four preset exercise routines: balance, recovery, train and tone. Each of these programs utilizes a different set of frequencies based upon what it is you're trying to accomplish and your physical condition. Below is a chart of frequencies that are used for different purposes. The Hypervibe Performance machine has the capability of providing up to a full 28 Hz of frequency.
This is the most powerful whole body vibration pivotal platform machine available for consumer use in their home on the market. This machine was designed to allow you to grow into the most advanced exercise programs without limitation.
When we exercised on this machine we could really tell the power. The machine is very smooth in its operation. Overall very quiet as well. The wall chart provided with the unit shows all the different exercises a beginner could ask for. Most of the exercises shown on this chart are static type exercises, the type of exercises a person first staring out with whole body vibration should use in the beginning. Dynamic exercises, phase two, are ones where the person moves during the session, like a slow push up or squat. This really adds to the benefits. The number and types of exercises you can perform on this machine are almost endless. Pure excellence one does not have to incur the national debt to own one of these machines, it can be obtained for under $3000. In order to get this type of performance from another machine would cost in most cases over $10,000. Here are the specifications of the machine:
|Size (in): 30(w) 25(d) 55(h)
|Weight: 110lb
|Max user weight: 397lb
|Platform size (in): 22(w) 14(d)
|G-force range: 0.8 – 17.4
|Frequency range: 6 – 28Hz
|Platform movement: pivotal
|Amplitude (peak to peak): 11mm
Many of the machines out there claim to deliver the goods but really don't hold up to the task. This machine never changes speeds no matter whom we put on it. No matter where you place your feet on the plate, on the inside(lowest amplitude) or to the farthest outside edge (most amplitude) there was not a bit of change in performance.
The machine was delivered as promised and was incredibly easy to assemble. The entire process took us approximately 30 minutes from start to finish. The entire package includes everything needed to assemble the unit including a toolkit and well documented instructions. There is no question that is unanswered in these step by step instructions.
Again the area of concern is support, the support we received was stellar. Emails were sent on order, shipment, etc. All emails sent to them were answered promptly. We even tried to call to ask a few questions and we were treated to all the help we needed. Very nice.
The machine includes with starter DVD, resistance bands/straps, instruction manual or operating instructions and tool kit in the package. The Hypervibe Performance machine delivers the goods as the vendor claims. This is one heck of a buy and we cannot recommend it enough. For those who want to add whole body vibration to their exercise routine, this is the machine that can help you meet and exceed your health goals. Our Editor has given this machine an Editor's Choice Award for 2011.

Insurance can be complicated enough. Don't let a flood of misinformation drown out the facts. Since misunderstandings can be costly, here are the most common car insurance myths debunked.
Myth: Red cars are the most expensive to insure
Fact: Red will not cost you more green. Roughly 25 percent of drivers surveyed by Progressive Insurance believe that the color of their car is a factor in determining their insurance rate — especially if the car is red. But the belief that drivers of red cars pay higher car insurance premiums is a myth. Insurance companies will likely not even ask the color of your car when they're calculating your car insurance rates.
The notion that car color determines what you'll pay for insurance is a longstanding myth. It may have come from the idea that people who drive red sports cars are reckless.
Car insurance companies are interested in the year, make, model, body type, engine size and age of your vehicle. The color may be important to you, but it really doesn't matter to your insurance company.
Fact: It's the other way around. Statistics show that thieves actually prefer to steal older cars. According to a 2011 National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) report, the top 10 most-stolen vehicles reported in 2010 were the '94 Honda Accord, '95 Honda Civic, '91 Toyota Camry, '99 Chevrolet pickup (full size), '97 Ford F-150 pickup, '04 Dodge Ram pickup, '00 Dodge Caravan, '94 Acura Integra, '02 Ford Explorer and '99 Ford Taurus.
The reason older vehicles dominate the list is because they are easier targets for thieves. Because people are keeping their cars longer in the tight economy, there is a strong market for used parts that may come from stolen vehicles.
If you have an older vehicle and have dropped comprehensive coverage to save money, you are not covered for theft and do not qualify for rental car coverage. NICB's report reveals that thieves have different preferences from state to state. Crooks in California and Florida prefer imports like Hondas and Toyotas. Texas crooks select pickup trucks. Criminals in Indiana and Michigan have a thing for domestics (Dodges and Fords).
Fact: Unless you have comprehensive coverage, you are not covered for any of these things. A bare-bones policy in most states only requires you to buy liability coverage. This pays only for damage you cause to others. You need to purchase both collision and comprehensive coverage in order to fully protect your vehicle from all types of damage situations.
Comprehensive coverage covers pays for damages to your car that are not the result of a car accident. That includes theft, vandalism, hail, fires and accidents involving animals. Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle from a car accident.
Fact: When your car is totaled, your auto insurance policy does not promise to pay off what you owe. It will pay you the actual cash value of your car, minus your deductible. Actual cash value is the amount your car was worth before the accident, factoring in depreciation. You are still responsible for any amount outstanding on the loan or car lease.
The only way to cover the difference between the car's cash value and the amount you owe on a loan is to purchase gap insurance. Available to cover both auto leases and loans, gap insurance covers you if your car is totaled before you've paid off the loan, or before the lease term expires. Insure.com's Save yourself some grief: buy gap coverage article explores this issue.
Your insurer will decide if your car is "totaled." Generally a total loss is declared when the repair costs exceed a certain threshold of the car's value. It varies by insurer. Generally insurance companies will total your car if the repair costs exceed between 51 to 80 percent of the car's value. At that point, the insurance company will tow the car to the salvage yard and offer you the actual cash value of your car.
Fact: Even if you have comprehensive and collision coverage, it may not include a rental car. Rental car reimbursement is not automatically included in most car insurance policies, but you can add it at an affordable cost. According to the Insurance Information Institute, rental reimbursement coverage is available for $1 to $2 a month with most insurers.
Even if you have this coverage, it won't necessarily last until your stolen car is recovered or your damaged car is fixed. There's a limit on how much your insurance company will reimburse you per day, plus a cap for a maximum amount per accident. For example, GEICO charges $20 per year for a maximum $750 in rental reimbursement, with no deductible to pay. In this case, GEICO would reimburse you up to $25 per day but no more than $750 per accident.
Fact: That's not necessarily the case. According to a list released in 2010 by Quality Planning Corp., cars with the most violations are coupes, sedans and SUVs. The Merdedes-Benz SL-Class convertible was the only sporty car on the list. Drivers of two different Scion models (TC, XB) also made the Top 10 list. Others on the list include drivers of the Toyota Camry-Solara, Hummer H2 and H3, Mercedes-Benz CLS-63 AMG, Acura Integra, Pontiac Grand Prix, Mercedez-Benz CLK 63 AMG and the Volkswagen GTI.
At the other end of the spectrum, the study also includes a "well-behaved vehicle list." Topping that list are drivers of the Buick Rainier, followed by the Mazda Tribute, Chevrolet C/K-3500/2500, Kia Spectra, Buick Lacrosse, Saturn Aura-Hybrid, Oldsmobile Silhouette, Chevrolet Uplander, Hyundai Tuscon and Pontiac Vibe.
While insurers don't base their car insurance premiums on this study, the insurance loss history for the model you drive and your own driving history factor into how much you will pay for car insurance.

Pediatricians recommend neuromuscular training to avoid ACL injuries
Doctors who work with schools and sports organizations should encourage training to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament tears, according to a leading group of U.S. pediatricians.
The clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also includes information for doctors to diagnose and treat the ligament tears, which have been increasing among young athletes - especially girls.
"The Academy wanted to put together a clinical report that updates pediatricians and the general public about all three of these issues," Dr. Cynthia LaBella told Reuters Health.
LaBella is the lead author of the report published in the AAP's journal Pediatrics. She is an expert in sports medicine at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four key ligaments that hold the bones of the knee together. The ligaments also work to stabilize the knee during movement.
The ACL can tear when athletes quickly change direction, land on their leg incorrectly, stop suddenly or collide with each other.
Soccer, football, lacrosse, basketball and gymnastics are among some of the most common sports in which high school athletes experience ACL tears.
Girls are especially at risk for ACL tears through their college years, the committee writes. It's thought that growth during puberty puts more force on kids' joints, and while boys gain muscular strength and coordination at the same time, girls typically do not.
The report says neuromuscular training programs that strengthen leg muscles, improve stability and teach people how to safely move should be encouraged.
The authors write that the components of training programs that have effectively reduced the risk of ACL tears include plyometric or jump training and tailored feedback for individual athletes.
Programs that also include strength training have been among the most successful in reducing ACL injury rates, they add.
Dr. Lyle Micheli said it makes sense that the neuromuscular training described in the new report works. It's the type of training doctors use within the Division of Sports Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital, where he is director.
"In ballet in most parts of the world, little girls or boys start when they're four, five or six (years old)," he said. "They learn to jump and land. We don't get many ACL injuries from the ballet."
Micheli, who is also the founder of The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention, was not involved with the creation of the new report.
According to one paper cited in the report, training was tied to a 72 percent reduced risk of ACL injuries among female athletes younger than 18 years old. The risk was decreased by about 16 percent among those 18 years old and older.
The report says there is not enough evidence to support the use of braces to prevent ACL injuries.
"There is no good research to show that bracing as a primary prevention strategy is effective," LaBella said.
Many, but not all, children who tear their ACL will need surgery.
For those children, the report says it's reasonable to wait until they mature to the age when the surgery will not disturb the growth of their leg. Surgical techniques do exist to repair the ACL without disturbing the leg's growth plate, however.
"Everybody is a little different with their needs and goals," LaBella said. "It's definitely an individualized decision."
Regardless of treatment choice, the report says doctors should advise their patients that they will be at an increased risk of early-onset osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear-and-tear of the knee.
As for diagnosis, LaBella said people - especially athletes, parents and coaches - should be aware of the warning signs of an ACL tear.
"Most athletes will feel their knee give out and feel a pop," she said, adding that the knee may also swell.
Whether the increase in ACL tears is due to kids playing sports at a younger age, taking part in more intense training or some other factor, Micheli said he agrees with the report's recommendations.
"We definitely think this is the way we've got to go as a nation," he said.
The AAP has several resources, including instructional videos, on its website (aap.org/cosmf), according to LaBella.

Bryan Adams Exposed
February 23 – May 4, 2014
The portraits in this series reveal unknown facets of his famous subjects and the depth of Adams' own photographic abilities.
The second group of images featured in Exposed is portraits of young British soldiers who have suffered life-changing injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan or during training. In these images, the lens bears witness to the soldiers' scars, disability and disfigurement with unexpected directness, while revealing the grit and bravery of these soldiers who, despite personal sacrifice, live each day with continued vim, vigour and dignity.
Adams has exhibited his work across Europe and North America and has had three books of his works published: Wounded: The Legacy of War, Exposed and American Women.

Animal Style Fries at In-N-Out Burger
Hold on to your arteries, and say hello to Animal-Style fries.
At West Coast burger chain In-N-Out Burger, there are only a few things on the menu: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, and drinks. That's it. The fun comes in customizing your burger according to the In-N-Out lingo. While nowhere on the bare-bones menu, there's a whole separate language for placing your order. Ask for a "2-by-4" for a double cheeseburger with four slices of American. Vegetarian? Your only option is a "Grilled Cheese"—cheeseburger, sans burger. And order your burger "Animal Style" for extra sauce and chopped grilled onions mixed in with your cheese.
To any In-N-Out fan, the "secret menu" is an open secret. But while just about every other cheeseburger comes out Animal Style, it's less well-known that you can get your fries Animal Style, too. What does that mean? Your tray of fries comes topped with a mass of melty cheese, the same grilled onions, and a heart-stopping ladle of Thousand Island dressing.
In approaching the animal, you'll need a plan of attack. My recommendation: stop admiring, grab a fork, and stir 'em up. Wait too long and you'll end up with garden-variety fries under rethickened cheese, but start mixing early and every crispy fry will get its share of the Animal Style wealth. Which is all any In-N-Out fry really wants.

Marquette graduate kidnapped in Syria
James Foley held captive in Libya in 2011
The family of an American journalist and Marquette University alumnus said he went missing in Syria more than one month ago while covering the civil war there.
A statement released online Wednesday by the family of James Foley said he was kidnapped in northwest Syria by unknown gunmen on Thanksgiving Day.
The statement appealed to those holding Foley to contact the family "so we can work together toward his release."
Foley, 39, has worked in a number of conflict zones around the Middle East, including Syria, Libya and Iraq.
He was contributing videos to Agence France-Press while in Syria.
The news agency quoted its chairman, Emmanuel Hoog, as saying it was doing all it could to secure Foley's release.
"He is a professional journalist who is absolutely neutral in this conflict," Hoog said.
Marquette University released a statement Wednesday afternoon.
"The entire Marquette University community joins with his family and friends to pray for his safety and release. Less than two years ago, after he safely returned from Libya, James Foley expressed in a letter to the Marquette community the power and strength not only from his own prayer, but the prayers of his family and friends."
People sign a petition for Foley's release at www.freejamesfoley.org.
Foley was held captive for 45 days in Libya in 2011.

Oops: Brett Gibbs Releases Spreadsheet Showing 70% Of Prenda Proceeds Went To Steele & Hansmeier
from the seems-dark-down-there-under-the-bus deptIf John Steele and Paul Hansmeier didn't realize they were in serious trouble already, things just got a lot more difficult for them. As you may recall, Steele and Hansmeier have been bending over backwards to insist that they had nothing whatsoever to do with Prenda Law, and that they got no money from any of the settlements. Courts haven't been buying this argument, and earlier this week we wrote about Judge Chen in Northern California noting that he was convinced that Steele and Hansmeier really were Prenda. But the evidence just got a lot stronger. It appears that Steele and Hansmeier's attempt to throw lawyer Brett Gibbs under the bus has just come back to haunt them. Gibbs has just made a filing in the Judge Otis Wright case in the Central District of California (the first case to directly state that Hansmeier and Steele were clearly behind Prenda) that might be Steele and Hansmeier's worst nightmare: because it reveals a spreadsheet showing how most of the Prenda settlement money went to them.
Ostensibly, the filing from Gibbs is an attempt to get out from Judge Wright's order which lumped in Gibbs with Steele, Hansmeier, Duffy and Lutz as "principles" of Prenda, making them all responsible for the attorneys' fees. Gibbs has been trying to distance himself from the Prenda crew for a while, but with this filing he reveals the real meat: it seems that there was a Dropbox account that was shared between Gibbs, Hansmeier and Steele, and in it was a spreadsheet revealing the payouts from Prenda settlements. And while Steele and Hansmeier have told courts that they are not associated with Prenda and not making any money from the cases, the documents... show otherwise.
Steele and Hansmeier have repeatedly claimed that they have no ownership interest in Prenda Law, AF Holdings or Ingenuity 13 and that all settlement proceeds are held in trust accounts for use in future litigation. For example, in the bar complaint filed in this Court, Steele stated "I have never had an ownership interest in Prenda Law Inc"; "I have never had an ownership interest in AF Holdings LLC or Ingenuity 13." (Id. at pg. 83). In his deposition, Hansmeier testified that he had "no ownership interest [in AF Holdings] whatsoever" and that proceeds from settlements went into an attorney's trust account and were withdrawn only to pay expenses of litigation. (ECF No. 69-1 at pgs. 9-13).In an affidavit, Gibbs points out that Hansmeier had told him earlier that Steele and Hansmeier had setup "Under the Bridge Consulting" (nice troll reference guys, very subtle) and each had a 50% stake. As Gibbs points out, this very strongly supports Gibbs' earlier claims and reinforces that idea that Steele and Hansmeier are both the powers that be behind Prenda and that they directly lied in the past concerning their involvement. While the spreadsheets do say "old owners," Gibbs' filing correctly notes that (1) this suggest they at one time did own Prenda and (2) getting more than 70% of the revenue going to "old owners" certainly doesn't suggest that those two were no longer involved in the business.
The truthfulness of these and similar statements is severely challenged by two documents which Prenda Law sent to the Dropbox account on Gibbs' computer in early 2013: "Prenda Law Profit and Loss Detail, January through December 2012" and "Prenda Law Balance Sheet Detail." (See Exhibits E and F). The receipt and disbursements shown in these spreadsheets directly contradict the oft-repeated statements of Steele and Hansmeier that they have no financial interest in Prenda Law or its litigation.
According to the Prenda Law Profit and Loss Detail, in 2012 alone, Prenda made "Payments to Old Owners"—Hansmeier, Steele and Under the Bridge Consulting (their jointly-owned company)—equal to almost 70% of Prenda's total revenue. Hansmeier received $645,821.29 ($185,321.28 directly and $460,500.00 through Under the Bridge). Steele received $660,915.94 ($200,415.94 directly and $460,500.00 through Under the Bridge). This does not include tens of thousands of dollars in additional payments to or on behalf of Steele and Hansmeier for travel and entertainment, meals, credit card charges, and miscellaneous reimbursements, or payments to Steel's wife, Kerry Eckenrode Steele. It also does not include payments totaling $37,069.56 to Duffy or Duffy Law Group, also classified as "Payments to Old Owners." Judging from the documents it appears that neither the Profit and Loss Detail nor the Balance Sheet Detail show any payments to AF Holdings, Ingenuity 13 or other Plaintiffs represented by Prenda.
Exhibit E shows that Prenda received income from "Pirates" of $1,931,977.09 in 2012, and made "Payments to Old Owners" of $1,343,806.78 or 69.6% of its total receipts. Considering other payments to or for Steele, Hansmeier and Duffy, the total distributed to them likely exceeded 80% of receipts, even though these distributions left Prenda with a 2012 loss of $487,791.20. These figures do not include payments to Steele and Hansmeier from other Prenda accounts, or settlements that may have bypassed Prenda completely.
Separately, in the filing, Gibbs notes that Hansmeier called him after Wright's original ruling, trying to get him to sign a document that would require him to lie, and also to indemnify both Hansmeier and Steele, in order to be included under the bond that Duffy, Hansmeier and Steele were organizing as required by Judge Wright's order. Basically, Hansmeier offered Gibbs a terrible deal: to get in on the bond that we're getting, you have to lie to the court and then basically accept any and all liability that may come down because of all this. Gibbs, quite reasonably, rejected the deal, leading to this filing now:
After receiving the May 6 Order, Hansmeier telephoned Gibbs in an attempt to persuade him to work with, not against, the Principals as they appealed the Order. Over several conversations, Hansmeier conveyed to Gibbs exactly what he would have to do to be covered by the superseadous bond which the Principals were arranging to purchase. Knowing that Gibbs would not be able to post sufficient collateral to buy a separate bond, Steele and Hansmeier made six demands which Gibbs would have to accede to before they would add him to their bond: (1) Gibbs pay $3,000 to Hansmeier and Steele to reimburse them for the entire cost of the bond; (2) Gibbs sign a unilateral Release and Settlement Agreement releasing any and all claims he might have against Duffy, Steele, Hansmeier, Prenda Law, Steele Hansmeier PLLC, and Alpha Law Firm" (See Exhibit A); (3) Gibbs agree to sign a declaration stating (falsely) that Steele had no involvement in a Florida copyright case; (4) Gibbs represent AF Holdings and Ingenuity 13 in their appeal of the May 6 Order; (5) Gibbs sign an agreement that would create a fiduciary relationship between Gibbs and both Steele and Hansmeier;2 and (6) Gibbs sign an agreement indemnifying Steele and HansmeierIt's quite incredible that Hansmeier apparently thought Gibbs was so stupid as to accept such a terrible deal. There's a bunch more in the filing worth reading, but these are the highlights -- and ones that I'd imagine are about to be refiled in a number of other Prenda-related cases around the country. My only question, however, is why Gibbs waited until now to file this...against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, losses, costs, charges, expenses, damages and liabilities whatsoever which [they] may pay, sustain, suffer or incur by reason of or in connection with the appeal of the May 6, 2013 order issued by Judge Wright in Case No. 2:12-cv-8333-ODW (JCx) including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all costs and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with any such loss or damage. (See Exhibit B).The unilateral release and the indemnity agreement proposed by Steele and Hansmeier would have made Gibbs solely liable for the full amount of the monetary sanctions imposed on all of the parties in the May 6 order, as well as the costs and attorneys' fees incurred in appealing the order. Steele and Hansmeier were also trying to force Gibbs to testify dishonestly or remain silent with regard to the Principals' fraudulent activities. Gibbs rejected their offer and was not included on the bond.
Still, assuming that this information turns out to be legit, and there's no reason to think it isn't, Steele and Hansmeier may be in for a world of trouble. Everyone knew something like this was coming eventually, but I can't see how the two of them will tap dance around this one.

Unarmed Tourist Shot Dead By Police; Family Wants Answers
Two brothers from Virginia come down to Miami for a few days of vacation. One of them is shot and killed by a police officer. He was unarmed. That same officer kills another man four days later.
Like many tourists who come down to Miami Beach, Husien Shehada and his brother, Samer, had planned the vacation for months, saving up enough money where they could splurge for a few days with their girlfriends.
They arrived two weeks ago from Virginia and stayed at the Loews Hotel, each of them spending $239 a night for their respective rooms for each couple. After spending a few days on the beach and hanging by the pool, they decided to see some alligators, so they rented a car and drove to the Everglades.
Then they drove up to Broward County to the Sawgrass Mills Malls to do some shopping. The two brothers sat in the food court eating pizza while their girlfriends purchased outfits at Bebe.
After getting back to their rooms and resting a bit, they got ready to go out to Sobe Live because they wanted to see DJ Terrence perform. Khloe Kardashian was also going to be there. The girlfriends were excited to wear their new outfits.
They danced for a couple of hours, then walked back to their rooms. But the night was still young - at least for South Beach standards - so they walked back outside to buy some cigarettes and maybe something to eat and enjoy the balmy evening.
At about 4:30 a.m., the two couples were walking down Washington Avenue. The two brothers were walking up ahead. Their girlfriends were following closely behind.
Suddenly, about seven Miami Beach police officers approached the brothers from behind and ordered them to turn around.
"We didn't know what was going on," said Samer. "We saw a bunch of lights. Heard a bunch of shouting. We were in a state of shock."
Seconds later, one of the officers opened fire, killing Husien.
"I saw my brother go down so I laid down next to him and lifted his head," Samer said. "Blood was coming out of his mouth.
"He turned and faced me. I saw him take his last breath."
Husien was 29 years old.
A Second Shooting
Adam Tavss, the officer who shot and killed Husien, was involved in a second officer-involved shooting just four days after in which he and another officer shot and killed a carjacking suspect.
This despite the fact that police assured he would be placed on paid administrative leave until a thorough investigation had been conducted.
Miami Beach Police spokesman Juan Sanchez said that departmental policy requires officers to undergo a psychology screening and be placed on leave for a minimum of 72 hours. He said that policy is backed by state and national police certification standards.
In Tavss' case, he was cleared to be back on duty in four days. Police say the second suspect he shot, Lawrence Raymond McCoy, was armed. Husien Shehada was not.
"How in the world can they clear an officer while the body is still warm and allow him to kill again?" asked John Contini, attorney for the Shehada family.
Accused of Domestic Violence
In the seconds after the shooting, police descended upon Samer and handcuffed him, throwing him in the back of a police car. He was charged with domestic violence for an incident that allegedly occurred three hours before the shooting.
Police said they confronted the men because several people had called 911 with reports of two men walking around with guns under their shirts.
They said the men in question turned out to be the Shehada brothers, but it turned out they were only carrying a bottle and a wooden coat hanger to make it appear as if they were carrying guns.
The say the Shehada brothers were looking for two men with whom they had fought with earlier. They say the brothers were intending to intimidate the men with the hidden objects.
But a surveillance video that recorded the two men in the moments before Husien was shot doesn't appear to support these statements.
In fact, the video shows the brothers walking down the street with their arms swinging at their sides. It shows the two brothers suddenly stopping, as if being beckoned by police.
And it shows Husien catapulting out of the frame after being shot.
No bottle. No coat hanger. Not even an indication that they were not complying.
Furthermore, Samer said there were at least seven officers who had stopped them, yet it was only one officer who fired.
If it were true that Husien appeared to be reaching for a gun, then all the officers would have fired because that is what they are trained to do.
In the second shooting Tavss was involved in, fellow officer Frank Celestre also shot the suspect. But they say that suspect actually had a gun and was firing it at officers.
In the Shehada incident, Contini said that one of the officers was pointing a Taser gun at the men but didn't fire it, which he says proves that the Shehada brothers did not come across as a threat.
Contini, who obtained the video from club Twist and released it to the media, said police had obtained it three days earlier but did not plan on releasing it.
He said they even attempted to obtain the original copy – which would have prevented any further copies to be made - but the managers at Twist insisted on a subpoena.
Police told The Miami Herald that they obtained video surveillance from "several locations" which shows the men were "looking menacing" as they were walking down the street.
But Contini said the only video that exists is the one that has been released, and it doesn't show them looking any more menacing than anybody else walking down the street on any given night.
And he said said the domestic abuse charge is nothing but a distraction to keep the attention off the real crime, which is an unjustified police shooting of an unarmed man.
"Even if it did happen, how does that justify executing his brother three hours later?"
Interrogation Room
After the shooting, police placed Samer in an interrogation room in the Miami Beach Police Department where they kept telling him his brother was going to survive.
At about 10:30 a.m. that morning, he overheard one of the girlfriends crying that his brother had died. That was when he lost it.
"I punched the glass in the interrogation room because I wanted to grab my cell phone and call my mother," he said. "I was going hysterical."
He said police allowed him to use the phone but kept telling him not to bleed on the walls from the cut on his hand. He said they placed him in a car to take him to the hospital for the cut but then they turned the car around and placed him in a holding cell back at the station.
Meanwhile, police had the girlfriends sign a consent form that would allow them to search the hotel rooms. However, Contini believes they had already entered the rooms because one of them was carrying one of their purses, which he said she had left in the room.
"They signed the form long after the search had been conducted," he said.
Contini also said that police placed the women in a separate room in the hotel under aliases.
"They did that to prevent the media to get to them," he said.
But the media tracked them down anyway. One of the TV stations interviewed Samer's girlfriend and she insisted that the allegations of domestic abuse were fabricated.
She even made a point of allowing the cameras to film her face and body to prove there were no marks.
However, Samer's arrest report states that he was beating her on the corner of Washington Avenue and 13th Street. They said he hurled her to the ground and threatened to kick her in the face.
They said two "unknown men" intervened and roughed up Samer. Then they Samer and his girlfriend returned to the hotel where he continued beating her.
Police say that when Husien returned to the room with his girlfriend, the two men decided to go look for the men who had roughed up Samer. That is when they grabbed a coat hanger and a bottle.
But that still leaves some unanswered questions.
Usually, police need witnesses in cases of domestic abuse. Usually these witnesses are the victims themselves. But there doesn't appear to be any witnesses to the alleged incident involving Samer and his girlfriend, especially that part of him beating her inside the hotel room.
Also, sometimes suspects place objects under their shirts to give the appearance of guns, but we usually hear about this happening when somebody is trying to rob a store or a bank.
Why would anybody show up to a fight acting as if they had a gun under their shirt when they didn't?
Police also said they received several 911 calls but have yet to release the audio of any of those calls. Contini said he is working on getting that audio as well as the radio transmissions between officers and dispatch of the moments before and after the shooting.
One of the people who supposedly called 911 is Derek Reynolds, a doorman at Twist. He stated in a police report that Shehada appeared to reach for a weapon when he was stopped by police.
However, Contini said that Reynolds is applying to be an officer with the Miami Beach Police Department and he also has an uncle that works there, giving his statements little credibility.
Contini said he has been talking to other witnesses who believe the shooting was completely unjustified, including a pair of French tourists.
He urges more witnesses to come forward.
"I know people are scared because they see what the Miami Beach Police Department is capable of," he said.
Racial Profiling?
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has questioned whether the shooting was racially motivated because police apparently asked witnesses whether Husien was speaking Arabic. This is not the first time the Miami Beach Police Department has been accused of racially profiling.
In fact, they get accused of it every Memorial Day Weekend when throngs of black people descend upon Miami Beach for Hip Hop Weekend because they end up making tons of arrests, many which eventually get thrown out of court.
It is not hard to understand why the Shehada family believes this to be profiling because they can't find any other logical explanation as to why an officer would shoot an unarmed man who was not committing a crime.
The Shehada brothers were born in the United States to Palestinian parents. Like many children of immigrant parents, they straddled the line between two cultures as they pursued the American Dream. Samer, 31, is an engineer. Husien was a limousine chauffeur.
Because they are Muslims, Samer was required to wash his brother's body to prepare it for burial. It was the hardest thing he had ever done.
"My life will never be the same," he said. "He was my best friend. We hung out all the time."
Contini is in the process of gathering enough evidence to file a lawsuit. And the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office is also investigating the incident.
Meanwhile, the Shehada family is urging the U.S. Justice Department to conduct a proper investigation into the shooting because they have no confidence in the local authorities. They are urging people who read this article to also call the Justice Department to demand an investigation.
"They didn't take my brother's killing serious enough to do a proper investigation," he said. "Four days is not a proper investigation. It's as if my brother's killing was a joke."
And he can't get over the fact that a trip to Miami Beach for a few days of fun and sun would result in such a tragedy.
"This could have happened to anybody," he said. "Anybody."

Power Mom, Power Wife
That is until last week...
I had previously prided myself with being too "cerebral" for domestic chores. And I never got joy out of impressing people with extravagant meals, parties or clothing. But I've come to realize that it's not exactly fun living with someone who doesn't cook, clean or ever take off their smelly running clothes (except to put on scrubs, of course).
This past week, I decided to give this power mom, power wife thing a try.
So I cleaned...
(Above is the cleanest bathroom in the history of my life.)
I bought flowers...
And I cooked some awesome food...
(Note the normal, non-running clothing.)
Can you find the happy son of a power mom anywhere in the above photo?
And I even tried to impress some friends...
And I have to admit it was a fun week. Not only was it an excellent challenge, but SR and I got along great. And nothing cerebral was sacrificed; for one, my PhD project is now more or less in line along with the continued ophthalmology residency. I can only wonder if long-term powermotherhood is in the stars. But the force inside of me that says all I need is coffee, oatmeal and a long run is strong.

I think it's funny that you blogged about cleaning the bathroom. I'd make fun of you but I'm exactly the same way. Except I don't think it's because I'm cerebral it's because I'm a lazy slob who doesn't really mind living in filth. Luckily my husband is a PowerHusband and cleans and cooks and does all that stuff. If we had a kid I'm sure he'd be the one making sure it didn't fall off a cliff.
The food looks fabulous in those pictures. Looks like you did a great job. I think you should just define "PowerMom" as exactly what you are and call it good.

Seeing the last photo, I imagined everyone saying, "Wow, you have a lot of mice!" That'd sort of end the powermom thing, wouldn't it?

My husband drives a subaru and he won't let me eat in the car. Does that make him a power husband? He only makes messes in the house though. I'm happy you had a great week.

Yeah, hmm...I feel an obligation to live up to expectations:) Good going, but I am with you on last sentence. "But the force inside of me that says all I need is coffee, oatmeal (ham sandwich) and a long run (on trails)."

If SR and I were content with who we were, after one month we'd realize we had no clean clothes, no clean dishes and wonder what ever happened with those bills we got in the mail. SR and I were both previously married to a Ted. Just imagine two Dannis and a baby and you get the picture.
Steve Q, thanks for the best laugh all week! I seriously couldn't stop laughing. Lately I've been settling for Danish jokes I only half understand, but yours, I got 100%.
In my experience, a Subaru is only a catalyst to becoming a power parent.
Olga, I wish I too felt an obligation to live up to expectations...

I think there's something therapeutic about cleaning. I feel calmer and life seems more manageable when the clutter is at bay. You as a power mom would be quite a change. Who knows? Could end up being a good fit for you.

Ha, that was funny! My greatest talent is domestic stuff. My house could be cleaner, lawn could be tidier, etc, I could cook more days per week, but after getting home after work, I'm tired. Aw hell, after I get laid off, perhaps I'll never work again. I enjoy cleaning, cooking, lawn mowing, etc. You can look back and view your accomplishment. It's also nice when your step daughter gives a little cheer yay! when she realizes you cooked instead of her own dad, LOL. Alas, my house needs a good dusting and the floors are getting yucky again.....It's very hard to balance everything, you know?

★★★★★ - "I called him on the phone and they went to my house in Cordova, North Carolina to check out my tree for a free estimate and tell me what would be going on and what date we would set. They cut the tree down and got all the limbs out the way, and even got a few extra trees. They are courteous, very respectful, fast, and precise. In between the trees and my house were power lines and not one limb fell towards either way and they got it down in no time. I recommend H&H Tree Service and I give them the most highly respectable grading and it wouldn't be five it would be 10! I want to say thank you to all you guys for everything.

Two children taken into custody after law enforcement discover a meth lab while conducting a child welfare investigation
GRIFTON � The ground surrounding the residence of 4906 Tick Bite Rd. is littered with trash and the remnants of life with children � a bicycle and stroller in the front yard, an empty box of diapers atop an open garbage can in the back yard.
No one lives at the house now, and no one ever will, since Lenoir County officially condemned the home on Thursday.
Tuesday, representatives with the Lenoir County Department Social Services � assisted by Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office narcotics detectives � responded to the home after a complaint regarding drugs and child endangerment.
Detectives found what they believe are ingredients and byproduct of methamphetamine.
�One of the suspects confessed to the making of methamphetamine in there,� Sheriff Chris Hill said. �We do not think it is a methamphetamine lab designed to make meth for sale. It was for personal use.�
Anthony Steven Everett, 28, and Ashley Nicole Gower, 26, are both charged with possession of a methamphetamine precursor, manufacturing methamphetamine, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, all felonies.
They both received $100,000 bonds and were placed into the Lenoir County Detention Center.
Everett was on probation at the time of his arrest for larceny by employee in Pitt County and charges of violation of vehicle registration and a motor vehicle violation in Lenoir County. He also received probation after convictions on assault on a female in October 2004 and September 2005.
Gower has unresolved cases in Pitt County regarding disturbing the peace at a school and violation of compulsory school attendance laws.
Vernon Mitchell, a neighbor residing just up the road, tended to his garden Thursday morning. He said he was unaware of anything of the like going on at the residence.
�It surprised me,� Mitchell said.
The children, a 9-year-old boy and a 9-month-old girl, were in a relative�s care at the time.
The child abuse charge, Hill said, were because authorities found injuries on the children that should have been tended to and were not.
�If the children have injuries that have not been cared for, we have to determine where those injuries occurred from, who committed those acts to cause those injuries � we need to look at that,� Hill said. �That�s why DSS is a part of this.�
Monica Williams, assistant director for social work services at the Lenoir County DSS, said she couldn�t comment directly on the case but discussed what typically happens with investigations that have a narcotics component.
�Drug use is a common denominator, and the families that we investigate � we can get drug use reports probably weekly,� Williams said. �But, meth labs are a little bit different. We have not had that many, but they are increasing.
�This year, we have probably had five or six reports already, where it was alleged to be an active meth lab.�
Williams said following a medical evaluation and treatment of children involved in a case like this one, they would be turned over to DSS for the determination if they should be placed back with their parents, put in the care of a relative or placed into foster care.
After detectives found evidence of the manufacture of methamphetamine, they called in the State Bureau of Investigation Clandestine Laboratory Response Team to clean and dispose of dangerous chemicals.
Lenoir County EMS, the Lenoir County Fire Marshal�s Office and the Hugo Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the scene.
The next day after authorities responded to the scene on Tick Bite Road, Jones County Sheriff�s Office deputies arrested a Goldsboro man on U.S. 70 near the Cove City exit, seizing 6.5 grams of methamphetamine, meth precursors and prescription drugs.
Brian Madison Cherry, 33, was charged with felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, felony possession of meth precursors, misdemeanor simple possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, misdemeanor simple possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance and felony maintaining a vehicle for controlled substances.
Cherry was released after arrest on a $10,000 unsecured bond.

America East Championship Central
VESTAL, N.Y. – UMBC women's basketball's freshman guard Taylor McCarley (Bowie, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) registered the program's first-ever triple-double en route to the Retrievers picking up a dramatic 66-60 double overtime victory at Binghamton in Saturday afternoon's regular-season finale at the Events Center. The Retrievers capture the seventh seed in the upcoming America East Championships and will face No. 2 Stony Brook on Friday, March 7 at noon at SEFCU Arena.
McCarley finished her career-day with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while junior guard Janelle Saling (Lathrop, Mo./Lathrop/Highland CC) connected on five-of-eight three-pointers to chip in a collegiate-career-high 16 points. Freshmen Sara Tarbert (Delta, Pa./Kennard-Dale) extended her double-digit scoring streak to 12 games, registering 14 points and seven rebounds and classmate Emily Russo (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) added 10 points and six rebounds.
The teams were tied at 54 following 45 minutes of action, but the Retrievers knocked down back-to-back shots from beyond the arc to take a four-point lead, 60-56, with 1:47 to go. Sherae Swinson cut the deficit to two, 60-58, with 1:31 remaining, but UMBC hit three of its next four free throws, while its defense held Binghamton to one field goal en route to victory.
UMBC picks up just its second-ever victory at Binghamton to improve to 4-24 overall and 3-13 in league play, while Binghamton falls to 5-24 overall and 2-14 in the America East.
The Retrievers opened up a seven point advantage, 15-8, 10 minutes into the contest by knocking down six of their first 11 shots, while Binghamton connected on 3-of-12.
UMBC extended its lead to as many as 11 in the opening half, but the Bearcats closed the period on a 9-2 run over the final 4:48 of the stanza to cut the deficit to 21-17. The Retrievers shot 47.4 percent from the floor in the half, but took just 19 shots in the period.
Binghamton took its first lead since the 18:55 mark of the opening half 1:12 into the second stanza, 22-21, as Morgan Murphy battled down low for a bucket and Vaneeshia Paulk followed with her second trey of the afternoon. The Retrievers responded, tying the contest up at 24 on a trey from Russo, UMBC's first bucket of the second half, at the 15:42 mark. Russo's trey started a 15-2 run in favor of the Retrievers, which included two of Saling's five treys in the contest, to help UMBC to a 36-26 lead with 10:29 to go.
A Kandace Newry layup with 58 seconds to go in regulation capped off a 15-4 Binghamton run over a 7:36 span to tie the contest at 44 apiece. The Bearcats had a chance for the final shot, holding possession of the ball with 25 seconds left, but Binghamton was unable to get its shot off before a shot clock violation turned over the ball. The Retrievers were held to just one field goal over the final 8:03 of the second half. Binghamton finished the half with 13 of its 19 offensive rebounds in the game, converting into 13 second chance points.
The Retrievers trailed by as many as six points in the first overtime, but a three-point play from McCarley and back-to-back layups from Tarbert allowed the Retrievers their first lead of the period, 54-53, with 29 seconds to go. Paulk hit one-of-two free throws to tie the contest at 54 with 13 seconds remaining, but the Retrievers were unable to drain the go-ahead bucket before time expired.
The Retrievers knocked down 50 percent of their shots in the overtime periods (6-for-12), including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, en route to victory, while Binghamton was held to 38.5 percent from the field. The Bearcats were led by Paulk's 18 points and 13 rebounds. Murphy chipped in 15 points and five rebounds.
Game Notes
-UMBC completes its first-ever season sweep of Binghamton and wins for the second time on the Bearcats home court. Binghamton leads the all-time series, 16-8.
-UMBC will be taking part in its 11th America East Conference Championships. The Retrievers are the only No. 7 seed in America East history to defeat the top three seeds in the tournament and in 2007 were the lowest seed ever to win the league championship.
-McCarley records the first triple-double for an America East player since Mo Moran on Nov. 11, 2010 against Yale.

First post on here, just looking at getting into snowkiting this winter, I'm already a decent-ish kiter (go upwind/jump consistently, getting towards backrolls), and an expert skier. I figure I shouldn't take too long to work out how to snow kite, so should I go straight for a full on snow kite? Or do I really need to buy a trainer first? It seems a cell kite is the way to go, but would my Best Kahoona 9.5 work ok?
I'll be using it initially in Hokkaido, Japan, where we have tonnes of snow, and quite a lot of wind. I would like to use the kite for uplift instead of skins when touring, plus just messing about doing jumps on the flats. Looking at the Frenzy range, unsure about whether to get the 9m or the 11m, given that powder adds a lot of friction, but we do have a fair bit of wind. Anyone have experience kiting in Hokkaido!? I weigh about 80kgs, but probably 90 in ski gear.
Also unsure about the year, is there much difference between the 2011, 12, and 13 models? I have seen the 2011 for what seems like a decent price.
