Dear Savvy Senior,
My wife and I provide a lot of financial support to my elderly mother and are wondering if any of it is tax deductible. What can you tell us?
Stretched Thin
Dear Stretched,
There is some tax relief available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other relatives. But in order to be eligible, both you and your mom will need to meet Uncle Sam's criteria. Here's what you should know.
IRS Eligibility
If you're helping financially support your elderly mother, to get a tax deduction you'll need to claim her as a dependent on your tax return. For the 2011 tax year, claiming an additional personal exemption would reduce your taxable income by $3,700. But to get this tax break, you'll need to pass the IRS's income and support tests:
Income test: To qualify as a dependent, your mom's 2011 gross income must have been less than $3,700. Her income from Social Security does not count toward that total, nor do disability payments. But if your mom receives more than $3,700 from other sources, such as pension benefits, interest and dividends from investments, or withdrawals from retirement savings plans, you can't claim her as a dependent.
Support test: In addition to the income test, you must provide more than half of your mom's costs for housing, food, medical care, transportation, and other necessities. Even if all of your mom's income is from Social Security, you can't claim her as a dependent unless you pay more than half her living expenses.
It's also important to note that your mom doesn't have to live with you to qualify as a dependent, as long as she meets the income test and you provide more than half her financial support. If your mother lives with you, you can include a percentage of your mortgage, utilities, and other expenses in calculating how much you contribute to her support. IRS Publication 501 (see
) has a worksheet that can help you with this. To receive this, or other IRS publications or forms via mail, call 800-829-3676.
Shared Support
If you share the financial responsibility for your mom with other siblings, you may be eligible for the IRS multiple-support declaration. Here's how this works:
If one sibling is providing more than half the parent's financial support, only that sibling can claim the parent. But if each sibling provides less than 50 percent support, but their combined assistance exceeds half the parent's support. In that case, any sibling who provides more than 10 percent can claim the parent as a dependent. But only one sibling can claim the tax break in any given year. Siblings can rotate the tax break, with one claiming the parent one year, and another the next. The sibling who claims the parent as a dependent will need to fill out IRS Form 2120 (
) and file it with his or her tax return.
Medical Deductions
If you can't claim your mom as a dependent, you may still get a tax break for helping pay her medical costs. The IRS lets taxpayers deduct money spent on a parent's health care and qualified long-term care services, even if the parent doesn't qualify as a dependent.
To claim this deduction, you still must provide more than half your mom's support, but your mom doesn't have to meet the income test. And the deduction is limited to medical, dental, and long-term care expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. You can include your own medical expenses in calculating the total. See the IRS publication 502 (
) for details.
Check Your State
In addition to the federal tax breaks, more than 20 states offer tax credits and deductions for caregivers on state income taxes too. Check with your state tax agency to see what's available.

10 favorite books of 2013 [Pictures]
The Pratt Library staff reveals its picks for the year's most memorable reads.
Image 1 of 11
The page-turners( Gene Sweeney Jr. / Baltimore Sun / December 17, 2013 )
This year, Stephen King released a sequel to "The Shining." J.K. Rowling was outed as the author of "The Cuckoo's Calling." And your great aunt probably picked up "Inferno," the latest by "The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown (if so, please have a chat with her). But these big names didn't make the cut when we asked the Pratt Library staff about their favorite reads of the year. And that's more than fine. Their picks reflect the great diversity of offerings this year -- and wonderful output from Baltimore authors. Time to fill the remaining holes in your book shelf this year.

One day at IMG I am interviewing Sasha. She is 22. Grew up in Moscow. One gets the sense that, more than others', her life has been utterly transformed by modeling. She is so nervous about being interviewed-partly, I think, because her English is not so good- that she has printed out a list of questions that I sent her agent so that she could be prepared.
She wrote her answers out on the paper, and now she is reading them aloud to me, her hands trembling. I have to fight the urge to hug her. But all of the nerves disappear in an instant when I throw her a question that isn't on the printout. Do you want to be a supermodel? I ask. She looks at me with that face and stares out from those Prada ads and says in her thick accent, "In Rrrussia, vee have proverb: Only bad soldiers don't vant to be general.""

About Me
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Department of Computer Science advised by Dr. James H. Anderson. I am working in the Real-Time Systems Group on multiprocessor real-time systems. My work is funded in part by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I am interested in real-time synchronization and scheduling, distributed and concurrent systems, and cyber-physical systems.
I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and a B.A. in Mathematics with honors in Computer Science from Bucknell University in 2011. At Bucknell, I worked with Dr. Felipe Perrone to develop tools for automating network simulation experiments to ensure the credibility of results. My time at Bucknell was supported in part by a Goldwater Scholarship, and a Northrop Grumman Engineering Scholarship.

Monika Grzymala's work always pushes the viewer—it forces us to question how we categorize artworks, what they're made of, and where they can be installed. Monika has worked with adhesive tape, handmade washi paper, and a diverse range of other materials to create large scale drawings-in-space— works that are grounded in the idea of drawing and the artist's direct engagement with materials, but that expand into three dimensions, filling and shaping the viewer's own space.

Modern Poets: The Political Line
Posted by Sarah Kennedy, Associate Educator, Public and Studio Programs
Next Wednesday, February 2, MoMA will present another iteration of Modern Poets, our long-running series of readings and performances in which poets and writers reflect upon modern and contemporary art and culture. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, which explores the transformation of drawing, the potential of mark making, and line and gesture through diverse mediums. Taking the concept of the political line as a point of departure, we have invited a group of international poets selected by Chilean-born poet Cecilia Vicuña—who will also read from her own collection of poems—to share their reflections on this extended notion, as it relates to them personally or to the world more universally.

Drawing in Space: On Line Performances at MoMA
Posted by Esther Adler, Assistant Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints
There's a long history of dance and performance both inspiring and being influenced by the visual arts. The current MoMA exhibition On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, on view on the sixth floor, is full of examples of artists trying to capture dancers' moving bodies in drawings, paintings and sculpture, as well as documenting them on film. If a line is the trace of a point in motion—an idea at the heart of On Line—then a human figure moving through space can be seen as a drawing in air, an insertion of drawing into the time and three-dimensional space of our lived world.

Drawing in Motion—Zilvinas Kempinas's Double O at MoMA
Posted by Esther Adler, Assistant Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints
Zilvinas Kempinas's sculptures are magic. Somehow, the air currents created by two industrial-strength fans turn the two loops of videotape in Double O into a living, dancing sculpture, performing tirelessly for hours in MoMA's Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. Read more

Nicholas Sparks has written quite a few sappy romance novels about straight white people, some of which have been turned into decent movies like The Notebook. But a lot of people thought his latest adaptation was pretty boring, so you'd think he might want to mix things up a little with the next one, say, by writing it about two people who are not straight and white. But he does not! And his reasons why are dubious at best. More

Local macros and symbol macros
Local macros are defined by a macrolet form. They are usable only
inside its body. Symbol macros can be defined globally
(defsymbolmacro) or locally (symbol-macrolet). A symbol
macro defines a form that replaces a symbol during macro
expansion. Function arguments and symbols bound in let
forms are not subject to symbol macro expansion.
Local macros are most useful in the definition of the expansion
of another macro, they may be used anywhere. Global symbol
macros can be used only inside a with-symbol-macros form.

The coincidently nautical showcase of BOAT and BriTANick (rhymes with Titanic) capsized before the show even started. Eureka Theater's projector mutinied, died at a time most inopportune. It left behind a lobby drowned with humanity—a sold out show.
[My latest review, detailing BOAT and BriTANick at the Eureka Theater, one of my favorite shows of all time.]
Who will speak for sketch? When it's all over, when the theaters are empty, when the stand-ups scatter, the celebrities fly away and the improvisers jam out, who will speak for the hardest discipline to sustain in San Francisco?

This is mostly because the PS3 architecture was significantly different (and as I understand it, notoriously more difficult to code for) than the 360. This generation, the XB1 and PS4 are virtually identical in architecture. Last generation was like comparing apples to oranges in many ways; this generation it's apples to apples and the PS4 is clearly the superior machine.
|17 weeks 1 day ago
I really struggled with this, having owned the original Xbox and then the 360 for over a decade. I really liked those systems and was a fan of Xbox Live. I ultimately decided on the PS4 because I feel like Microsoft abandoned the core gaming audience for a more casual entertainment approach, and the lack of performance from a graphics and framerate standpoint is substantial.
There are fewer and fewer exclusives, and I think Sony wins out here too. I was a die hard Halo fan but the franchise has gotten stale. Since I own a PC that is a superior system to either, I can get any game I really want between that and a PS4. Plus I hated not having a good baseball game to play, so it's been nice having MLB The Show for a change.

I think the issue is that we are talking about football coaches here. In the grand scheme of things - particularly related to education - these guys aren't really all that important. To name positions in the athletic department (AD, head coach, coordinator) after donors kind of elevates their jobs to something that they really aren't.
At least when people contribute money to build an academic building or create a scholarship they are doing something that creates public good and should be recognized as such. Donating money to an athletic department, while good for us Michigan fans, probably isn't an obvious public service.

`13 GR3 < `14 GR3 - While he is periodically absent, there's no question this year's version is better.
McGary > Horgan - This would be a pretty significant mismatch for most anyone, but I think Horgan could hold their own against Mitch on most days.

I could have been clearer here, but I am not making the argument that the spread offense is superior to pro-style in terms of on-the-field success, but saying that for non-experts it's not surprising to express preference for something that is more clearly understood.
If the "flaw" to which you are refering is the predictability of play calling in a run-to-spread attack, I don't think it's a flaw because the source of that predictability is the alignment of the defense and not whatever play the offense is in when they get to the LOS. Basically you can have a pretty good idea of what's about to happen when you see where the defense is the weakest.

|I'm pretty sure the term
I'm pretty sure the term "manball" was created as a way to describe Brady Hoke's attitude toward how "real football" should be played, and was never intended to describe a scheme or even evaluate its effectiveness. And it was coined prior to Hoke coaching a game here.
Hoke believes (or at least has stated as much) that spread offenses are not physical enough to adequately prepare a defense. As you've pointed out, however, the offense we run doesn't reflect what Hoke stated publicly upon his hire, so he's obviously flexible.
Have you ever considered the fact that the reason why so many people (me included) like the spread offense is because it's conceptually very simple? I can look at the K-State offense and tell you what's going to happen pre-snap at a pretty good success rate. I understand Rodriguez's offense.
I have to admit I have no idea what Al Borges is trying to accomplish, other than throwing a bunch of different formations at people and trying to create breakdowns in the secondary. I suppose there would be a running game involved in an ideal world but we have yet to see one that really works for reasons you've covered ad nausem.

The purpose of Upward Bound is to reinforce the academic skills and generate the personal motivation necessary to complete a college education. Specifically, the program is designed to improve high school performance and graduation rates, as well as the rate at which students enroll in and graduate from a college of their choice.
Harding University Upward Bound is a part of the newly formed Center for Student Success.
The program is funded through a multi-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education. There is no cost to participating students or their schools for UB services.
The Upward Bound Program on the Harding University campus is funded to serve 65 high school students within White and Woodruff counties. Specific high school districts served during the 2012-2017 grant cycle are Augusta, Bald Knob, McCrory, Pangburn, Riverview, and White County Central. Students residing in those counties or enrolled at one of the target schools may apply for admission.
"Students must have completed the 8th grade, be between the ages of 13 and 19, and have a need for academic support in order to pursue a program of postsecondary education. All students must be either from low-income families or be potential first-generation college students. The program requires that two-thirds of the participants in a project must be both low-income and potential first-generation college students. The remaining one-third must be either low-income or potential first-generation college students. Students are selected based on recommendations from local educators, social workers, clergy, or other interested parties." For further details...
Interested students may request information from the Upward Bound Program offices on the Harding University campus. Information is also available in the high school counselors' offices.
HU UB Phone: 501-279-4170
HU UB Fax: 501-279-4169
Most students will be enrolled during their 9th grade year. Since participants are encouraged to remain with the program through high school graduation and college enrollment there will be a limited number of new students accepted each year.
Interested students complete an application package and submit it through their high school counselors to the Upward Bound Director. When the Upward Bound staff verifies that all qualifications have been met a personal interview is arranged for the student and a parent(s). Students that meet all qualifications, including academic goals and willingness to commit, are invited to become a part of the Upward Bound Program (based on the number of openings available).
Academic Year - From September through May, participants will spend 14 Saturdays on the Harding campus. The primary focus of these visits will be academic tutoring. Students also participate in workshops on a broad range of topics including study skills, social skills, learning styles, test taking strategies and interpersonal relationships. Students from outlying districts are provided transportation. Upward Bound provides Saturday lunch to students (at no charge to students) in the Harding University cafeteria.
Summer Academy Component - Upward Bound students completing the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades attend a 6 week program in the summer. The Summer Academy is designed to simulate the "college" experience. Students live in the dorms on the Harding University campus, attend social events, eat in the university cafeteria, participate in field trips and enjoy various recreational activities. Most importantly students attend classes during the day Monday-Friday that consist of supplemental instruction in the high school curriculum. One goal of the Summer Academy is for each student to develop the tools needed to excel in the following school year.
Summer Bridge Component - Following high school graduation qualifying UB participants will be encouraged to enroll in the first summer term at Harding University. Upward Bound pays all tuition and fees, as well as room and board charges, for the term. Tutors are supplied to support the "Bridge" students in their transition from high school to college. Bridge students have the opportunity to participate in most Summer Academy activities alongside the other UB students.
Maintaining the funding for Upward Bound is dependent on submitting statistical reports. The UB Staff will maintain contact with students after their high school graduation until they have completed college or some other form of post-secondary education. The staff cannot remain in contact with students... if we don't know where you are. If you are a HUUB graduate please go to Alumni Tracking to submit your current contact info! We appreciate your help. By keeping us up-to-date on your progress you are helping provide UB opportunities to other high school students.

IDC: Netbooks Fuel European PC Market
The US market researcher IDC has recorded an increase of 1.8% in European PC sales for the last quarter of 2008. A weak rise compared to 2007.
Having enjoyed regular two figure growth in the past, the IDC sees the EMEA region split in two, with Western Europe providing acceptable figures while results in the east, Russia and the Ukraine in particular, proved disappointing.
A strong demand for portable devices, especially during the Christmas period, had a positive influence on overall sales, although desktops suffered under the continuing cannibalisation-effect of portables. IDC sees continued growth for the netbook market in 2009, while sales of PCs and notebooks expected to hover at current levels. One reason for this is the hesitant company invest ion as a reaction to the credit crisis.
Manufacturer HP extended its market lead in the third quarter, with a growth of 13% compared to the year before, with Acer next, followed by Dell and Asus. Netbook inventor Asus saw its sales, also thanks to netbooks, grow by 79%. With a plus of 0.4%, Dell seem to be running on the spot and Toshiba's rise of 42% landed them in fifth place.

Roemer Nursery, Inc.
"GREEN PLANTS for a GREEN WORLD"
Roemer Nursery had been a successful family-owned business on Green Road in Madison Township for decades.
In the early days, the companyĺs founders recognized the need for a constant supply of clean fresh water for irrigation.
With the help of the Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, Roemer Nursery installed four water retention ponds on its property to ensure a constant source of clean water.
Since its installation over forty years ago, the ponds never failed to provide an adequate source of fresh water for year-round irrigating of the nurseryĺs entire inventory ľ until recently.
In 2006, a Wal-Mart Supercenter was opened nearby.
Before and during construction, Roemer Nursery and other nearby growers expressed concerns about how the development would impact the local environment, particularly the local water supplies due to the run off of water from the buildingĺs roof and parking lot.
The city assured Roemer Nursery that their water source would not be negatively affected.
Once the store was finished, Roemer Nursery started seeing an increase in salt levels in the main irrigation pond.
Within one year, the nursery began experiencing significant damage to their plants due to the water quality.
Since then, our main pond has been rendered useless due to contamination of salt and other chemicals.
The value of Roemer Nurseryĺs current inventory of nursery stock is more than $1 million, all of which is at risk without an adequate supply of clean irrigation water.
During the hot summer months of the growing season, Roemer Nursery pumps an average volume of two million gallons of water from the irrigation ponds per week.
Roemer Nursery has commissioned extensive testing of the soil and water supplies to determine the extent of the contamination by salt and other damaging chemicals.
In one recent test, soil samples and plant tissue tested by an independent lab showed sodium levels in samples irrigated with water from the contaminated pond measured 11,500 parts per million, compared to the normal range of 190-625 ppm when irrigated with clean water.
Following a series of dye test we were able to confirm that water from Walmart's property reaches our irrigation pond in less than one hour.
The owners and management of Roemer Nursery have made repeated attempts to seek cooperation from Wal-Mart to find a solution to this environmental problem.
Wal-Martĺs position is that Roemer Nursery has failed to prove that Wal-Mart is the source of the pollution despite a series of dye test that show the water from Wal Mart reaches our irrigation pond in less than 1 hour!
Wal-Martĺs refusal to address the critical issue of water contamination has left us no option but to pursue a legal path.
On Thursday, August 20, Roemer Nursery will file a law suit against Wal-Mart and others who are responsible for this environmental damage and its impact on our business.

We are equally concerned about the environmental impact in our community and beyond.
While the most apparent environmental damage is local, the risk is much broader as the contaminated water eventually makes it way into Lake Erie.

Playoff berths are starting to be claimed as there are just three weeks left in the high school football season.
Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids know a little something about the playoffs, having combined for five state finals appearances in the last 11 years. Friday, the Tigers entered 5-0, having already clinched a playoff spot, while the Raiders were 2-3 and in big need of a win.
Marshfield took a 10-0 lead into halftime, but this one stayed close throughout. The Tigers held on for a 30-28 win to stay unbeaten on the year.
In Gilman, the Pirates and Owen-Withee both brought 4-1 records into Friday night. The winner would punch its ticket to the postseason. The Blackhawks stormed out of the gates and never looked back, behind the powerful legs of Tommy Schuh, and dropped Gilman 41-6.
At Stiehm Stadium, DC Everest and Wausau East were looking for a win. The Lumberjacks took an early 7-6 lead, but it was all Evergreens after that as they rolled to a 42-21 win.

Graduate Assistantships
The WKU School Psychology program attempts to provide an assistantship to every graduate student who wants one if funds are available. At times, students may obtain a graduate assistantship in other departments on campus. In the psychology department, graduate students who hold assistantships might be involved with faculty research, assisting professors with psychology classes, working in the Educational Computer Lab, or assisting with the Psychological Clinic. The amount of the stipends (paid monthly) may vary, depending on the particular assistantship duties. Most stipends for assistantships are currently $8,000 for the academic year. Assistantships are assigned through the Psychology Department Head or his/her representative. If interested in obtaining an assistantship, applicants should also complete and submit the "Graduate Assistantship Application Form" to the Graduate School, preferably by March 1st.
Tuition Waivers
A few partial tuition waivers (amounts vary greatly) are currently funded by the Graduate School and given through the graduate programs in the Psychology department. The availability and criteria for awarding the tuition waivers can vary from year to year. Program faculty consider a student's financial need and academic merit when making the awards. No application is necessary.
Dotson and Cave: There are two scholarships named for former psychology faculty members (Dr. Elsie Dotson and Dr. Lourine Cave) that are specifically for WKU psychology graduate students (any program). The Dotson and Cave scholarships are awarded to Kentucky residents. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and strong academic records. The Cave scholarship may be awarded to one student or divided among a very small number of students. Amounts awarded have typically ranged from $1000 to $4000. It is typically awarded to a second-year graduate student. The amount of the Dotson scholarship is approximately $500 and is typically awarded to an incoming (new) graduate student. After being accepted into the program, you will receive an application for these scholarships. Applications are usually due in the spring or early summer.
Jesse Keeling: Due to the generosity of Jesse's family and friends, a scholarship is available specifically for a 2nd year school psychology graduate student. Jesse was a school psychology graduate student at WKU who tragically lost her life in a car crash at the end of her first year of study. The amount of the scholarship can vary; in 2013 the amount was $1500. Applications are given to current school psychology students.

When Halloween falls on a Thursday night, I think it is only appropriate that the Bengals play on Thursday Night Football. In between stuffing your face full of "ever shrinking sized candy bars", here is what to look for….
When the Dolphins Run the Ball
Despite having 2 capable backs (Miller and Thomas), one of which averaging 4.5 ypc (Miller), the Dolphins are in the bottom 10 (23rd) averaging just 89.1 ypg. The reason? The Dolphins run the ball just 34% of the time. Only 3 teams run the ball less. Whether it is because of scheme, philosophy, the line, or a lack of confidence in the young backs, the Dolphins clearly do not have a commitment to the run, thereby putting a lot of pressure on their 2nd year QB.
However, despite the fact that the Bengals are 8th in the NFL stopping the run (97.3 ypg), look for the Dolphins to run the ball more than normal tonight. Why? To protect Tannehill from the Bengals pass rushers. Tannehill has been sacked 32 times in just 7 games, has been sacked 4+ times in 6 of the Dolphins 7 games, and is on pace to be sacked 73 times in 2013! To make matters worse, the Dolphins have issues with their line that go beyond the field (see below).
Overall, the Dolphins can commit to the run all they want tonight, I don't see it working.
Advantage: Bengals

I made a few design tweaks so I could add baby registry info and acknowledge the shower hosts, & Tiny Prints was very accommodating and turned around the new layout in under a day :) very happy...even received a hand written thank you note for my purchase, a very nice touch!"
"I am one very happy customer. I ordered these invitations from Australia and they were delivered much quicker than the estimated delivery date. Card is nice and thick and the rounded edges are cut neatly. Colour is bright and good quality. Had a photo of bub's 20 week scan printed on the back of the invite along with some writing about gift ideas and this side also printed perfectly. Very happy with these invitations and would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"I ordered the Safari Shower (Green Apple) invitations for my DILs baby shower and they were ADORABLE! Even cuter in person than the photo. The shipping was so fast that I will now have extra time with no rushing to plan the shower. Thanks Tiny Prints for a job well done !!"

Q. What is a digital scale?
A. A digital scale is a measurement device used to measure the weight or mass of an object or substances. Digital scales are often more compact, durable, and precise than other kinds of scales, such as spring scales or balances, which often wear out and give different readings over time. Digital scales require a power source and may not always be completely accurate, but they are generally quite accurate and consistent even when used over extended periods of time. A digital scale may be used for many different purposes ranging from the measurement of ingredients in the kitchen to the precise measurement of substances in a lab.
Q. What are the benefits of a digital scale?
A. There are many benefits to a digital scale such as precision, size and weight, many automated features and ease of use. Another great thing you should know about digital scales is they will most likely keep their high level of precision late into their lifespan since there are almost no moving parts. Overtime, traditional scales that have lever systems or knife edges experience wear and tear and this leads to inaccuracy. You'll be happy to know that this is minimized with a digital system
Q. How Digital Scales Work
A. These electronic devices that are designed to measure the weight of an object or a person works through the use of load cell technology. The electronic load cells with in the digital scales function by sensing the object's weight or the person's weight and is then calculated. This calculation is transferred to electronic or digital signals that are then displayed on the digital readout screen through an electronic format. This makes digital scales a lot accurate than the older style of analog scales.

While I was researching my recent Indian dhokla story, a friend recommended I try the dhokla from Lilburn's BAPS Shayona. (Unfortunately, I didn't get to work this place into my original write-up.)
BAPS Shayona is a vegetarian cafeteria-style restaurant that "promotes a scripturally-based Hindu diet" created by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha religious organization. Its website states that BAPS is a "worldwide socio-spiritual organization — dedicated to community service, peace and harmony."
To get to the BAPS Shayona cafeteria, you have to pass through a security entrance and swing a left into the restaurant's parking lot. Inside you can order at the counter and also pick up some packaged vegetarian-friendly goods.
The standard yellow khaman dhokla comes topped with green chiles, mustard seeds and coconut shavings. You can also dip pieces of the dhokla into the tangy tamarind chutney that is served on the side.
What I didn't know was that a mandir (Hindu place of worship, similar to a temple) is located nearby since the mid-2000s. And pardon the cliché, but it is a sight to behold.
According to its website, two million man hours of labor were used to assemble over 34,000 hand-carved pieces (shipped from India) into a 30,000 square foot structure. Somebody was clearly busy.
After our dhokla snack, my friends and I walked over to the mandir and were immediately impressed by the aesthetics of the gardens and the mandir's exterior architecture. Inside was even more breath-taking. At the top level, a worship room holds statues of Swaminarayan saints (for a lack of a better word), and showcases a meticulously carved ceiling and sculpted columns.
I encourage you to go check it out if you are in the area. And if you work up an appetite, stop by the cafeteria.

I have long admired the temple. When I worked in Lilburn I would eat my lunch at The Publix parking lot across the street to bask in the serenity. I had no idea there was a cafeteria open to the public.

This looks interesting. Were there many other people there? Were there a lot of choices? How were the prices? Did they have a lot of seating accomodation??
The restaurant's website says little about what culinary pleasures await.

It wasn't too crowded on my visit. Again, it's cafeteria format so you order at the counter and you will be called when your food is ready. There are a lot of choices, and you can order a la carte. It was very cheap, but I wasn't paying too close attention to the other options.
Plenty of seating.

Visited the mandir this fall for the first time and agree, it was gorgeous inside and out. Did a quick look in the restaurant, but didn't eat due to plans elsewhere. I'd like to go back and try it.

This grouping of three star names offers performances with an exuberant sweep in playing of glowing warmth and purposeful strength. There is an abundance of detail brought about by the immaculate balance between instruments, and the ready willingness of each member to take an accompanying role.
Yo‑Yo Ma sets the scene with an impassioned opening cello theme to the D minor Trio. We have moved a long way from the days when Mendelssohn was viewed with gentility, and this whole reading has something more akin to a Brahmsian weight. Yet the players are ever mindful of the dynamic markings required for the elfin lightness of the scherzo, and the happiness it generates spills over into a vivacious reading of the finale.
Emanuel Ax relishes the moments in the opening movement of the C minor Trio where the piano dominates, and maybe some of the quieter dynamics are not held down to their appropriate level in the slow movement. The scherzo, taken at a tempo as close as you can get to the composer's optimistic marking, is suitably wispy, and the three players view the finale as a massive statement, its closing pages pushed forward with exuberance.
Technically the playing is outstanding and the recording quality helps in conveying its weight.

As a Mets fan when you hear a story like this, you have to chuckle. Unless you've been living under a rock the last few days, I am sure most of you have heard that 46 yr old former Mets GM and current ESPN baseball analyst is in some hot water…more than he is with Mets fans due to his cheating ways. According to several media outlets, Phillips had an affair with a 22 yr old production assistant on ESPN over this past summer. Phillips, who consistently takes digs at the Mets organizations and its fans (as if he was fired for no reason) on his broadcasts got his "just desserts" when the young female pulled a "Fatal Attraction" on him. Reports are that the female hand-delivered a letter to Phillips wife at his ritzy Wilton, Connecticut home describing the affair, comments about Phillips children, and even Phillips anatomy. (This story would've gotten better only if she described how inadequate he is but I digress). Among the craziness done on to the Phillips family, the mistress Brooke Hundley, accessed Phillips son's facebook page, texted, and phone his wife repeatedly saying both can't be with him (is he that great?) and even crashed her car after delivering the letter. Phillips, who was canned from the Mets in 2003 has a history of cheating. In 1998, he was cited for having an affair with Mets employee Rosa Rodriguez and took a week long absence then while paying her off a handsome sum. ESPN has apparently done the same by suspending him for a week. If I was a guessing man, I would surmise that Phillips will be receiving a permenant suspension from his wife! F you Steve Phillips, what goes around comes around!

These towels are exactly what you find in luxury five star hotels. They are thick and soft, and the large size makes them almost like a wrap when getting out of shower or bath. The deluxe thickness quickly draws moisture away from the body leaving the surface of the towel almost dry. They launder beautifullly. I have washed mine twice and they grow softer and more pliant each time. The color is vibrant and true and has remained so with laundering. Great addition to a guest bathroom, or for that little touch of luxury for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
Thought these were so fabulous when I first received them. Huge, plush, thick and luxurious......then I washed them. I had to cut a huge handful of strings from all of the towels, hand towels and wash cloths. So many loops pulled out that there are runs in the towels. Save your money and don't buy these! Buy your towels at a department store where you can actually return them if they fall apart! I bought them in 3 different colors and every single one of them looked terrible after washing.....they actually look worse than the 10-year-old towels that I was replacing!
These towels are terrific. I'm obsessed with nice bedding and bath products and decided to take a chance on these towels. I've paid a whole lot more for a lot less quality. So far I've not had any discoloration problems, either, which is a blessing. I'm tired of nice towels that fade out and spot and look terrible when I get anywhere near them with toothpaste or cosmetics. My husband even commented on how much he liked the towels and that's rare. Usually he just comments on how much I spend! A great deal; I bought two sets and might even get more.
These are thick, heavy towels...just what I have been looking for. They are like towels you find in fine hotels. Others have complained about the smell and shedding, but as soon as I opened them, I washed them and there was no smell at all. Also, they was a little shedding, but not what has been described by some people. After one wash, they are good to go. I love these towels and ordered another set after receiving the first set.
Excellent value though I question the weight of 900 GSM, as these towels are much lighter than other 900 GSM towels I own. They had some loose loops at the seams that became runs after I removed them from the washer. Perhaps a quality oversight, perhaps why they were sold so cheaply. Overall, a good buy for the money, if you are OK with "seconds", which apparently I am.
Great towels that absorb well, and are very comfortable. The set will shed a bit after the first wash, but that is to be expected. Due to the density of the fibers, make sure they have plenty of air to allow moisture to evaporate.
We had been looking for super think towels and was hesitant buy something online without seeing it and feeling it, based on the reviews we ordered them and absolutely love them. They are great quality and nice and thick along with soft. They look great in our bathroom and feel even better. Might be ordering another set. We recommend these towels you are getting great quality for your money.
The sheets are so soft and the quality great - I will probably more real soon.
Towels came out of the package soft and plush feeling. After laundering, they remain soft, cozy, absorbent and the color remains rich. Great price for a very, very nice product!
These towels are great and they look very nice in our bathroom. Please wash them to experience the Egyptian cotton. It doesn't shed and it dries very quickly. We love them and I will recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed.
