On Halloween night, your costume was probably spooky enough to raise ghosts, but come morning, you don't want to look like the walking dead! If you applied plenty of makeup and creepy cosmetics to you face for the holiday, you may have quite a mess on your hands come daylight, but with the right tips you can get rid of everything without ruining your complexion!
The first thing you should do after you get home from a Halloween bash is take off any eyelash extensions, wigs or prosthetic parts you may have hanging around. Once you have, just rinse your face off with some water and use something like GloMinerals – gloEye Makeup Remover. This gentle cleanser can remove any and all traces of makeup without damaging your skin, and can leave you feeling refreshed once you hit the hay.
You may think your work is over, but the fun is just beginning. While it's important to clear your face of cosmetics that may be lingering, you should also take care of your makeup brushes, especially if you used them to apply crazy Halloween cosmetics.
With Youngblood – Pro Brush Cleaner you can remove residue from your brushes without even needing to rinse them! This alcohol-free mist is the perfect way to get your beauty ritual back on track after the holiday.

Get rid of your Halloween makeup without ruining your complexionWednesday, October 31st, 2012
On Halloween night, your costume was probably spooky enough to raise ghosts, but come morning, you don't want to look like the walking dead! If you applied plenty of makeup and creepy cosmetics to you face for the holiday, you may have quite a mess on your hands come daylight, but with the right tips you can get rid of everything without ruining your complexion!
How to prevent your skin from drying out this fallFriday, August 24th, 2012
During the summer, your skin was probably a lot moister than usual. In fact, it might have been downright greasy! But now that September's creeping up on us and colder weather beckons on the horizon, you'll need to take some preventative measures to ensure that your complexion stays dewy. Here's how.
First, lather up in the shower with a creamy body wash with plenty of moisturizing ingredients that'll strengthen the moisture barrier of your skin and soften rough spots. The temperature of the water shouldn't be too hot, even if you're trying to warm up on a cold fall morning. Hot steam sounds like it'd moisturize, but it actually sucks the moisture from your skin.
Exfoliation is also important, and you should do it once a week to slough off dead skin cells. Use a body scrub, a loofah or a body brush to accomplish this task.
Finally, using a rich body lotion when your skin is still damp after the shower will help seal in the moisture and keep your skin soft all day. If you have trouble remembering, just store the lotion in the shower along with your other products – you'll see it and have no excuse!
Three tips to help you nix body acneFriday, June 1st, 2012
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, you'll probably be sweating more than you were in the past few months. According to Allure Magazine, the higher temperatures mean you'll be producing not only more sweat, but more oil, which increases the chance that your pores will become clogged – resulting in body acne. Here are a few ways you can combat the issue.
1. Use a body wash with salicylic acid. Look for one with at least 1.5 percent, like Murad – Acne Body Wash.
2. Exfoliate on a regular basis. Getting rid of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin will prevent them from clogging up your pores and trapping in bacteria, oil and sweat. Every other day or so, use an exfoliant like Dermalogica – Exfoliating Body Scrub.
3. Use a benzoyl peroxide cream. Just like you would on your face, smooth on a thin layer of an acne treatment cream to stop zits in their tracks.
With these tips, you should notice clearer skin in a couple of weeks – and if you start now, you'll be ready to rock that bathing suit once summer hits!

How to get the most out of a winter showerMonday, January 30th, 2012
It feels great to take a nice, hot shower when you're cold in the winter, but you've probably heard how long, hot showers can dry out your skin. Here are a few tips from BellaSugar.com that you might want to consider next time you hop under the stream.
1. Lower the temperature. You don't have to take a freezing cold shower – just take the heat down a notch so it's warm, not hot.
2. Use a simple, creamy moisturizing body wash, like Dermalogica – Conditioning Body Wash. Gels and other clear washes can dry up your skin in the winter months.
3. Turn off the water while you're sudsing up. This will reduce the amount of heat and steam in the bathroom and limit the drying effects of being exposed to the water.
4. Do a quick cold rinse before you step out. This will not only wake you up a bit, but it will tighten your pores.
5. While you're still a bit wet after the shower, use a lotion like Caswell-Massey – Almond & Aloe Hand & Body Emulsion with Silk all over your body. It will soak in better on damp skin.
Why you should be cleaning up after each gym sessionMonday, December 19th, 2011
If hitting the gym more often is on your to-do list for the new year, good for you. It's important to get plenty of exercise to keep yourself happy and healthy, but you don't want to sacrifice your skin in the process.
Working up a sweat is definitely a good thing, but it's not a good idea to let it stick around for long. If you don't shower or change right away after exercising, your skin is left to sit in oily moisture. It won't be able to breathe much, which may result in clogged pores and irritation.
Remedy this by showering as soon as you can right after your workout. If your gym doesn't have showers, just get home as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you might want to clean yourself up a bit with Dermalogica – The Sponge Cloth. You'll get rid of dirt and grime with just a few wipes. In the shower, use a purifying wash, like June Jacobs – Grapefruit Purifying Shower Gel. You'll feel refreshed, energized and, of course, clean!
Finding a body wash that won't dry out your skinWednesday, July 27th, 2011
Staying clean is a full-time job, but if you scrub too hard with a super-harsh body wash, you might find that skin is dry, flaky and itchy. How can you remedy this issue without reverting to caveman hygiene? It's easy – you need a body wash that does double-duty as a moisturizer.
Finding the right body wash for you might take a little experimenting. If your skin is in need of heavy-duty help, look for a body wash that also features a moisturizing element, like Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash. Instead of scrubbing with a loofah or a washcloth, use your hands to soap up your body – it's gentler and easier on your skin. Make sure to rinse thoroughly before you exit the shower.
Although it may seem counter-intuitive, a body scrub can actually help fight dry skin by encouraging cell turnover and revealing healthier, softer skin underneath your most difficult areas, like knees and elbows. Use an all-over exfoliating scrub like Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub once a week to keep your skin refreshed and smooth.
Finally, don't skip the moisturizer! Use an allergen-free, non-comedogenic lotion every time you step out of the shower to keep skin quenched.
When was the last time you indulged in a bath treat?Thursday, June 30th, 2011
There's nothing overly indulgent about letting yourself slip into a fragrant, scented bath from time to time, especially if those 10-15 minutes you have in the shower every day are among your only chances to really relax all day. If you're feeling over-stressed and over-worked, make it a priority to carve out some time in your day for a luscious bath.
This would require you to put your regular shower gels and body soaps away and replace them with something a bit more, shall we say, exotic? Bubble baths, bath oils, bath bombs as well as salts and pearls are all among the numerous items you can indulge in after a long day of work.
Using a mixture of said ingredients isn't an altogether bad idea, either. A good helping of bath salts added to your moisturizing bath oil or bubble bath will be the perfect way to help exfoliate your skin and heal any imperfections, while the soothing properties of the latter will nourish your skin and give it a healthy, hydrated glow.
Don't forget to invest some thought into the mood you create. If you're going to carve out some time in your day for a relaxing bath, you might as well make it count with some music, candles and all the fixings.
Do not neglect thy decolletageThursday, June 30th, 2011
Where beauty is concerned, it's easy to treat the face and the body as entirely separate matters. The problem with this approach is that the middle ground often gets neglected, leaving the necks and decolletage of many women lacking in moisture, sun protection and care.
"The décolletage is the forgotten area," New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, told Glamour.com. "Even women who wear SPF on their face daily forget that their chest and neck are just as exposed. So apply the same sunscreen-antioxidant combo as on your face – it'll do the job a few inches down."
It's extremely important to wear sun protection all over, and the chest is no exception. But caring for your decolletage involves more than just applying an SPF product on a regular basis. Exfoliating, moisturizing and applying anti-aging products as needed is extremely beneficial and valuable.
Young ladies may not think about it now, but the delicate skin near their necks will be especially susceptible to aging as they grow older. Use a moisturizer with retinol to help delay the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.
Essential oils are Earth-friendly and oh-so-luxuriousFriday, April 29th, 2011
Next time you duck into the shower, reconsider your routine – there are so many more natural alternatives to the highly processed products weighing down your shower rack, and beyond that, they're less damaging to the environment.
"Using oil to cleanse and hydrate is an ancient tradition," beauty expert Josie Maran told StyleList.com. "I love it because it's 100 percent natural, it's rich with nutrients like fatty acids and vitamin E, and the oils balance out your skin, so it doesn't produce too much or too little oil. Oils also clean deeper than detergents, but it doesn't strip the skin."
Because oils are entirely natural, they don't leave nearly as harmful an impact on the environment as some popular synthetic beauty products do. Plus, they're a total head trip, offering all kinds of benefits for your mental state (and environmentally-conscious peace of mind).
L'Occitane Aromachologie Organic Purifying Essential Oil Blend contains the healing power of eucalyptus, rosemary, lemon and tea tree to help cleanse body of mind of all unwanted energies. For a healthy dose of relaxation, try L'Occitane Aromachologie Organic Relaxing Essential Oil Blend and let the heady lavender do its fragrant trick.

Idk if anyone is interested in this, but we did this with my June 2009 babycenter board and it was fun.
Basically everyone who wants to participate is paired up with someone and you exchange a shower gift. It can be for the mom or baby. We can set a limit on the price, I think our max was $10.
My shower partner sent me a travel bag for the hospital with travel size shampoos/soaps/ lotion for me and a pair of booties. I sent her 2 Sesame Street bibs and a cute onesie.

The Afghan government and its international supporters have ignored the need to protect women in programs to reintegrate insurgent fighters and have not guaranteed that women's rights will be included in potential talks with the Taliban[.] ... Afghan women shouldn't have to give up their rights so the government can cut a deal with the Taliban[.] ... It would be a tragic betrayal to snatch away the progress made by and for women and girls over the past nine years.
Women's rights in Afghanistan faced significant opposition under the Taliban, which ruled the country from 1996-2001. This rights situation has been ameliorated since the US-led invasion, but continues to face opposition from Afghan government officials and militants. In August 2009, HRW criticized the Shia Personal Status Law as violating the Afghan Constitution and severely undermining women's rights, despite an announcement the previous month [JURIST reports] that provisions requiring a wife to submit to sex with her husband and to obtain his permission before leaving the home were removed. In April 2009, 300 Afghan women protested the law [JURIST report] and were confronted by 1,000 counter-protesters, some of whom threw stones and gravel at the women. Earlier that month, the Taliban claimed responsibility for killing Sitara Achakzai [JURIST report], an Afghan politician and women's rights advocate, outside her home. In 2006, Safia Hana Jan, another women's rights advocate and director of the Afghan Ministry of Women's Affairs in Kandahar [GlobalSecurity backgrounder], was killed by armed gunmen [JURIST report] after she publicly criticized the Taliban.

BY CYMBRE FOSTER Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Opa Uptown owners Paul and Brigette Barbas, head chef Brian Maloney and pastry chef Renee Myers have put their heads together to create a fusion of European flavors from Italy, Greece, France, Poland and more.
Each with their own culinary specialties, the four worked together to create an eclectic menu of ethnic dishes at the recently opened Traverse City restaurant.
"We all like to bounce ideas off of each other," said Maloney, whose forte is French, Italian and Spanish cuisine.
The Barbas know Greek food. In addition, Brigette is an expert in Polish cuisine and teaches a Polish cooking class through the Northwestern Michigan College Extended Education division. Myers was a pastry chef at Travino and worked with Maloney for seven years at the now shuttered restaurant.
"Brian and Renee are bringing so much to the table," said Paul Barbas. "Then the question became how can we incorporate Greek and Polish with their specialties?"
Take Uptown's versions of Saganaki, which refers to Greek dishes prepared in a small frying pan. While they serve the iconic Greek flaming cheese, they have added a couple of their own spins by creating a "category" with offerings that include a Shrimp Saganaki appetizer combining tiger shrimp, onions, feta and marinara and a Meatball Duo Saganaki, which incorporates Greek and Italian meatballs with marinara, Asiago and feta cheese.
Maloney brought his knowledge of pasta to the table and it shows in a dish they call "European Fusion." It incorporates the flavors of Italy, Greece and Poland by combining grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, onions, tomatoes, feta and a Polish kluski pasta tossed with white wine and sun-dried tomato sauce.
You can also sample salmon with a Mediterranean spin and pierogis stuffed with potato and cheddar, sautéed in butter and amped up with diced pancetta and caramelized onion.
Myers also created her own version of traditional Italian tiramisu, which is often a combination of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese. Her version includes white chocolate and raspberry.
Myers has also learned a thing or two from the others. Paul taught her how to make traditional Greek baklava with an orange simple syrup and Brigette wants diners to try Polish cheesecake made with ricotta instead of cream cheese.
Although the restaurant's menu is primarily Greek and Italian now, Maloney said he plans on changing it up two to four times a year and bringing in Spanish and French cuisine as well.

Emerson Police on Monday lodged charges against the man who was driving the charter bus that struck and killed West Ridge Church worship pastor Andrew Pray in Bartow County a day before Thanksgiving.
George Carroll, 77, of Acworth, was arrested and faces two misdemeanor charges—second-degree vehicular homicide and following too closely—Police Chief Stan Bradley told Cartersville Patch.
On his Facebook page, Pray, an Arkansas native, described himself as an avid cyclist, as well as "[an] aspiring cook, sports fan, cereal lover, and saved by the grace of God."
Bradley said Pray's bicycle and the charter bus—which was new and being tested by Carroll and a mechanic—were approaching Red Top Mountain Road on Highway 41 northbound when "for some reason" the bus driver didn't see Pray or his bicycle.
Pray was cycling on the right side of the road "close" to the fog line, but in the lane of traffic, which was legally proper, according to Bradley.
"It's a tragic loss of life," Bradley added. "Unfortunately, Mr. Pray lost his life due to an error in judgment on the part of the bus driver."
Carroll, who was driving about the 55 mph speed limit, is retired and has been a bus driver for 12 years, Bradley said. He and the mechanic were conducting test runs of the new charter bus "up and down 41," Bradley said. No other passengers were on the bus.
About 30 minutes after his 1 p.m. arrest, Carroll, whose last known employer is listed as Leisure Time on jail booking records, was released on a $5,200 bond.
Memorial arrangements for late pastor set
Memorial celebrations to honor Pray will be held this week, starting with one Tuesday in Dallas. Visitation will be held at West Ridge Church from 11 a.m. to noon, with the memorial celebration at the church starting at 1 p.m.
Thursday, a 3 p.m. memorial celebration will be held at Cross Church at Pinnacle Hills in Rogers, Ark. Visitation will be held at the church from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
West Ridge Church has established a fund to assist the Pray family with funeral costs and other needs. Those interested in donating can donate online at this link or write a check to West Ridge Church and put "Pray Family" in the memo line.

Preseason watch list honors continue to roll in for Washington football players as senior Hau'oli Kikaha and junior Shaq Thompson have made the list for the Dick Butkus Award, given to the nation's top linebacker, while Thompson and senior Danny Shelton are up for the Rotary Lombardi Award, given to offensive linemen and defensive front-seven players.
Washington's Marcus Peters was one of 39 collegiate players named to the preseason watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation's top defensive back.
Washington's Danny Shelton was one of 64 players named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation's top interior lineman.

Washington senior center Mike Criste has been named to the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, awarded each year to the nation's top college center.
Three Huskies � Hau'oli Kikaha, Danny Shelton and Shaq Thompson � earned a spot on the Chuck Bednarik Award preseason watch list while Thompson was also named to the list for Paul Hornung Award.
Last week Bishop Sankey was taking final exams in COM 340 and COM 440 and Brian Wolfe was in the Huskies' academic-support offices during UW's final week. Days later they were on their professional sports fields living a completely new life � with wildly varied amounts of money on hand. As Wolfe says: "It's weird."

I used to think yoga wasnt for me because I cant touch my toes. Cant even come close.
But it turns out that just as people come in all shapes and sizes and levels of bendiness, yoga, too, is anything but one-size-fits-all.
Some classes are set to music, while others see value in silence. In one class, you might move quickly from one pose to another, but other styles of yoga get you into a pose and have you stay a while.
What all kinds of yoga have in common are the benefits.
Originally people thought of yoga as a cult or a religion, or just sitting, meditating, said Raleigh yoga instructor Roxane Banville. Yoga is so much more than that. Its connecting your mind with the body, but its the letting go, its the exercise, its all the benefits that it gives you physical, emotional, medical, spiritual.
Yoga practitioners gain flexibility and strength, of course, but they also find it relieves stress, improves sleep, eases back pain and other problems and can even enhance athletic training.
You can find many kinds of yoga in studios across the Triangle, and theres no need for a beginner to be shy.
Many studios offer the first class free or for a low cost. For people who want to sample many different studios and yoga types, theres the Passport to Prana ( tryyoga.com), a card that for one $30 fee lets you take one class at each participating studio currently, there are 30 studios on board in the Triangle, said Banville, who is a local coordinator for the program.
Shopping around is important, because the right fit of style and teacher can really make or break your yoga experience. It can also help keep you safe.
I was curious to know more about yoga myself, so I decided to put on some yoga pants and find out.
Vinyasa yoga
Vinyasa yoga, put simply, is meditation in motion.
Thats how Nicole Nichols, owner of Republic of Yoga in Cary, describes it.
Vinyasa involves a sequence of events that are combined with breath and movement, she told me. Your movement is continuous and never stops, and the inhale is connected to the exhale so the breathing is seamless.
Even when a sequence is challenging to your strength or balance (or both!), she said, the idea is to keep the breath the same, even and steady throughout the duration of the practice regardless of the level of challenge.
In the 90-minute Slow Flow class I took, we moved from pose to pose, with Nichols talking us through both the movements and the breathing. Toward the end of class, the movement slowed down a bit, leading to a meditation session.
Frankly, this was the part I was most worried about. I have a brain that never shuts up. But after a while, the meditation actually started to work. I cant say I reached enlightenment, but then again thats not the goal.
Our minds are now being trained to multitask at such a high rate that its very hard to focus anymore, Nichols said. I think in doing that, we miss a lot of the beauty of the present moment. So meditation is just a way to take a few minutes out of your day, to go off of auto-pilot and just tune in and just listen to yourself.
Alignment yoga
I am not a patient person.
So I wasnt sure how Id do in an alignment-based yoga class, where the point is to get the poses just right and then stay in them for a long time. Up to two minutes sometimes, which doesnt sound like much until youre standing on one foot, legs deeply bent and torso twisted to one side, staring at a spot on the wall to hold your balance.
But I also believe in doing things right, and thats why alignment yoga takes such a methodical approach.
B.K.S. Iyengar developed the yoga style that now bears his name in India in the 1960s, with an emphasis on alignment, careful sequencing of poses and the use of props.
Jane Barrett of Raleigh Yoga Center, whose training has been from Iyengar teachers, brings that focus to her classes. On a stormy Friday morning, Barrett led students through a sequence of twisting poses (other classes focus on other movements, such as splits or handstands). We used straps to deepen leg stretches, blocks to keep our backs straight and arms firmly planted during deep lunges and bolsters (a firm rectangular cushion) to enable some gentle back bends.
Through it all, Barrett offered corrections to the class and, as needed, to individuals. The adjustments seemed small straightening a leg or moving a hip just a little bit that way but made a big difference in how the pose felt.
Alignment is really important for the safety and the structure of the pose, Barrett said. Its like creating a building. If your foundation is solid and level, that building is safe, sturdy, you can go right up to the top floor.
It wasnt easy to stay in some of those poses for a long time. My legs shook from fatigue, and I struggled to keep my breathing calm. But with all that time to think, and to really feel the pose, I got tuned in to my body in a way that rarely happens in everyday life. And that was a feeling I wasnt so inclined to rush out of.
Hot yoga
While I wasnt exactly huffing and puffing through the classes I took, I most certainly did work up a sweat at each one. And in a hot yoga class, thats the whole point.
The idea of doing yoga in a hot room was pioneered in the 1970s by Bikram Choudhury, but since then the practice has evolved in many directions, and these days not all hot yoga is Bikram yoga. But it is all hot. Like around 100 degrees hot.
Beginners tend to push too hard and not hear all the instructions going around the room from the teacher, said Monica Shannon, owner of Open Door Yoga in Raleigh. So Bikram introduced heat to keep people safe, and the idea caught on.
Youre warmer, so youre going to be a little more flexible and a little looser, which means that when you kind of push into areas that are tight or restricted, or lets say you push really hard in a posture with bad alignment, youre less likely to irritate the muscle fibers because theyre soft and pliable, said Shannon, whose style is different from Bikrams in both sequence and temperature.
Open Doors studio is 90 degrees on one side and 105 degrees on the other. There were maybe a few seconds of ahhhh when I placed my mat in the middle of the room after coming in from a chilly day outside, but before long I started to panic a little. Because 100 feels really hot in the middle of winter. And knowing youre in for an hour and a half of some pretty serious stretching and bending in that heat is enough to make you sweat before you even start moving.
Within 10 minutes of starting class, I was drenched. Sweat rolled from my forehead, down my nose, and dripped onto the towel on top of my mat. It soaked my shirt and made my feet slippery which sounds pretty miserable, I realize, and yeah, it was uncomfortable at times. And certainly stinky. But after a while, I didnt notice so much.
It depends on you
In each of the classes I sampled, there were high points (like that one time I got just a little closer to touching my toes than Ive ever gotten before) and low points (all those times I heard right leg and promptly moved my left). But I came out of each class feeling great, physically and mentally, and empowered to try again. Because its not about what you do right or wrong, or whether you can keep up with the class or whether maybe you need to sit out a few poses toward the end. Its about how you feel, during and after. And that all depends on you.
I think as long as people remember that the idea is to breathe, and relax, and do what you can, theyre going to come out feeling more relaxed, theyre going to come out feeling a lot better, more blissful, Banville said. Theyre going to sleep better that night.
I know I did.

Teresa Ramirez was at Healdsburg Safeway Friday when she got an unexpected intervention from a plainclothes 'Secret Santa."
"I was buying groceries for the week, since kids are out of school," said Ramirez, who is leader of Healdsburg Girl Scout Troop #389. "The bill was close to $100."
Ramirez said she noticed a man standing by the checkstand. She said she thought he was waiting to ask the cashier a question.
"As I pulled out my wallet, he tells the cashier that he is paying for my groceries and handed the cashier a $100 dollar bill," Ramirez said. "I was shocked."
Ramirez said she managed to say a quick "thank you" before the man took off to the next checkstand, and paid for several other customers' $100 tabs.
"I didn't get his name, but I would like to acknowledge his generosity," she said.
Safeway customer service manager John Rego said Saturday he had had no reports of the 'Secret Santa' activities on Friday.
"I've not heard anything about it," Rego said.
As documented on various TV news shows and newspaper articles around the world, the 'Secret Santa' phenomenon has been growing around the country and the world.

Paul Thompson reeled in the biggest fish at the 37th annual Marina del Rey Halibut Derby – a 46.6-pound white sea bass.
The derby, which for the second consecutive year included other species besides halibut, attracted dozens of fishermen on June 9 and 10 hoping to catch halibut, ling cod, white sea bass and rock fish in the Santa Monica Bay waters.
Thompson took home $1,200 in prize money and a 3-day fishing trip to Alaska, but was awarded second place despite catching the biggest fish. Daniel Ahman, who received a 20 percent weight credit for releasing his fish, won the competition and took home the grand prize – a sport-fishing trip to Baja California.
"Every year I get so excited about the Halibut Derby," said Keith Lambert, vice president of Marina del Rey Anglers, a local nonprofit. "Whether fishing it with my sons or volunteering to make it a success. This is one of my annual highlights."
Twelve fishermen released their catch to the Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute, which will add the fish to the facility's stock in Carlsbad for its breeding and release program. The top five fish caught exceeded 36 pounds, two of which were given to Hubbs.
Proceeds for the derby typically fund youth fishing programs in Marina del Rey, and last year over 500 children embarked on summer fishing trips. The 2012 youth fishing program begins in July.
The top five anglers on the leader board at the end of the derby were:
1. Daniel Ahman; Halibut, 48.8 pounds*
2. Paul Thompson; White Seabass, 46.6 pounds
3. Farney Brown; White Seabass, 39.8 pounds
4. Bob Palmer; Halibut, 39.3 pounds
5. Jimmy Stathis; Halibut, 36.9 pounds*
* 20 percent credit for release.
The top five prizes awarded:
1. 4-night accommodation and 2-day sport-fishing in Mexico. Donated by Van Wormer's Resorts.
2. 4-night and 3-day fishing trip in Sitka Alaska. Donated by Sitka Point Lodge.
3. 3-day fishing trip aboard the Vagabond out of Point Loma, Calif.
4. 2-day fishing trip aboard the Ocean Odyssey out of Point Loma, Calif.
5. 1-day fishing trip aboard the Gallilean out of Point Loma, Calif.

10 Valentines Day Ideas That Aren't Cheesy
One might say that Valentines Day is the epitome of cheesiness, but naysayers need love too. So go ahead and skip the candlelight dinner, roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, and try one of these cynic-proof Valentines Day ideas. Plus: From a DIY parfumerie to a creative clay-making event, try these five unique, can't-miss-it ideas in five major U.S. cities!
1. Burlesque Show
Spend this Valentines Day getting sultry by taking your date to a burlesque show. These old-timey acts are more sexy than skanky (think feather boas, long gloves, fans and tasseled pasties). Talented performers often accompany the campy humor and killer costumes.
2. Indoor Picnic
Skip the restaurant scene, where you'll inevitably be stuck with an overpriced pre-fixe menu and a seat that leaves you knee-to-knee with other star-crossed lovebirds. Spend your Valentines Day dinner enjoying an indoor picnic instead. Spread out the blanket, break out the fancy accouterments — and don't forget the bubbly.
3. "Glamping"
Let's face it: camping isn't always sexy (bug spray and outdoor toilets can be a romance buzzkill, to say the least). But "glamping" (glamorous camping) can make for the ultimate Valentines Day staycation. Pitch a tent (not that kiind) in the backyard or even the bedroom, whip up a batch of s'mores, light up the fireplace (on DVD) and get all cozy in that sleeping bag for deux.
4. Roller Skating
Most dates will be hitting the ice skating rink come Valentines Day, so go old school by taking your date roller skating instead. Bust out your tube socks and short shorts — the roller rink makes for a super-fun Valentines Day setting. You can hang out in the arcade, buy your date a candy necklace, and get cozy for a couple's skate.
5. Bowling
Bowling may not reek of romance, but c'mon, it's fun! Throw back a few cold ones, grab some junk food and settle in for some healthy competition this Valentine's Day. Make things a little more interesting by keeping score and promising the winner a Valentine's Day "prize."
6. Comedy Show
Some say laughter is an aphrodisiac, and who are we to argue with that logic? Also, what better way to celebrate Valentines Day than to laugh your butt off? Grab a date and head to the nearest comedy club for an off-the-grid VDay experience.
7. Hot Yoga
Flexible? Get steamy with a Valentines Day "hot yoga" class for two. The flow of the poses in the heated room will increase blood flow and boost your endorphins — plus your partner will look sexy in a sweaty downward dog. The best part? A shower is absolutely necessary after this type of class, so make it a shower for two. Keep reading...

Narrow your search
So many good deals, so little time. No, really -- some of these are available today only. So hurry!
Groupon users can save some cash online by scooping up large quantities of household and personal care products.
The addition of Ideeli provides Groupon with a more substantial footing for competing with the likes of Gilt and Amazon-owned MyHabit.
Instead of frightening you with futuristic, intrusive flying machines, Groupon decides there's a better way to give you faster deliveries.
Shares soar after troubled daily-deals site announces 7 percent jump in revenue and installs Eric Lefkofsky as permanent chief.
Andrew Mason's "Hardly Workin" is an opus of limited musical scope, but it's the lyrics, melding Tom Peters and Bob Dylan, that will surely inspire. Perhaps, though, it's an acquired taste.
Ousted CEO Andrew Mason plans to create a San Francisco-based startup and mentor at Y Combinator. He also says he's recorded an album of business advice songs.
That's the claim from the company's interim CEOs, who say that they're "not in a rush" for a new leader to be chosen.
According to the daily-deals provider, the original Groupon platform hit 1.5 million deals sold in 15 months -- three months later than Groupon Now.
The daily-deals provider says that the new G-Pass offering will let customers easily get into an event by bypassing the box office line.

Continued from Page 1
Car finished its run for the day by returning on the "K" line, taking the "K" line loop at the end and making a final run to its spot in the Geneva Car Barn with a brief pose with San Franciaco as a backdrop.
The trip was not over yet as PCC car #l006 was ready for our Motorman,Herb Nelson, to take out and see the remainder of the SFMRy system that Car #1 was restricted from covering. Car #1006 went out the "K" line through the Twin Peaks Tunnel and all the way to the East Bay Terminal. Returning from the terminal, the car went down Market Street by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District construction (with side of the road trackage in some spots) until Church Street where the Church Street line was taken until the end at 30th Street. In the process of going outbound on the Church Street line, the crossover just north of Market Street was used to let a regular service car pass us going outbound. This gave us time to have a couple of photo stops at some very picturesque spots. The "J" line is the hilliest line of the five San Francisco streetcar lines. The return run of the "J" line was made to the llth and Market Street short turnback and then the "N" line was taken.
The "N" line branches off of Market and goes through its own "Sunset Tunnel" and on to the beach. This line was saved until the last portion of our trip due to the scheduling of a baseball game along our route. Several pictures were taken at the end of the "N" line and then it was a "speed run" to llth and Market and onto the "K" line to the end returning to the Geneva Car House ending one "whale of a good trip!!!!"
The overall success of the trip, which means we might schedule another next year, must be credited to George Greyer who originally presented the idea for the trip to the board. Obtaining permission for the trip, George made all arrangements with the SFMRy and conducted by the trip. George was aided by the traction committee headed by Tom Matson and publicity by the REPORT Committee headed by Jerry Windle. The pictures and story for this issue of REPORT were provided by Tom Matson.
CALLED ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN: On the night of September 9th Colorado's Rio De Las Animas Perdidas once again proved that it had not been misnamed. After cloudbursts in and around Silverton the ordinarily beautiful mountain stream became like a slice of a tidal wave as it raced down between the Mountains which are its banks for miles. As most railfans know this can mean only disaster for the D&RG narrow gauge which has become one of America's greatest toruist attractions. It was on such a night that the Florence & Cripple Creek drowned, maybe not as deep, but as thoroughly as the Titanic. Though the line shows a profit on its two daily passenger trains during the vacation season, the D&RG may use the washout as an excuse to drop operations as it has been seeking a qualified buyer for some time. An estimated $500,000 in damage was done with some four or five miles of track being swept away near Tacoma. Heavier rail was being laid and much of this washed away or was covered by mud slides. Service was naturally terminated for this seasonŚŚŚand maybe forever. The big Labor Day holiday crowd in Duraogo vanished as though it, too, bad been swept away by the waters when word was that the trains wouldn't be running. Unless service is restored, Durango will become like many of the old mines in the area-virtually worthless and ignored.
Sunday dawned bright and beautiful, and over at Chama, N.M., the whole future looked brighter. The first train in nearly three years steamed into town with some 5,000 people there to great it. With two cars of ballast ahead to test the track, a locomotive pulling a work car and a box car loaded with two governors and other dignitaries arrived at the ancient depot that may yet see its busiest day. The occaaion was a salute to the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic RR which has taken title to the abandoned line between Antonito and Chama. Great vocal promise was made for the operation which is finally materializing after several years of effort by many. If the Durango-Silverton line is left to the dam builders, the C&TS may be sucessful far beyond its founders' wildest dreams. But who could enjoy the inheritance of a loved one who had to die?
REPRINTED FROM THE "Bulletin Board", Newsletter of the Trinity Valley Railfans Club of Fort Worth, Texas
We didn't forget last month's REPORT. Time just got short so we decided to combine the September-October issue in order to provide good coverage of the first PSRMA trolley excursion which appears in this issue. Hopefully, we will be back on schedule in November with our monthly issue.
Thanks to Gary Johnson for his picture of San Francisco Muni Car #1 which we used in the last two issues of REPORT. Each time we overlooked Gary in the caption so here's our thanks for letting us use the picture.
PSRMA's annual banquet and installation of officers held each January will feature movies and slides of the museums history at the 1971 banquet. Program chairman Kent Anderson is requesting that any members who have slides and movies of past museum activities contact him so they can be included in the program which should be an interesting one.
It has been reported that the SD&AE has begun accpeting bids for the removal of the Coronado Branch of their line. Once the contract is let, the contractor will have 11 days to remove all rail and hardware from the line. The removal will be by roadside so there will be no more trains on the line. Another part of San Diego's history will become a memory along with the ferries.
Now that school has begun and vacations are a memory, the Traction Committee has begun to function on a busy schedule. The most immediate project of the committee is the restoration of PSRMA's line truck from the San Diego Electric Railway. Last fall, a coat of primer paint was applied to protect the wood in the tower portion of the truck but there remains a lot of work to be done before the truck can be used by the museum for display. This included wood priming and painting, engine work, metal restoration and electrical wiring. Any of you have a bug about old cars should really get out and take a look at our antique truck. The next work party is scheduled for Oct. 24th beginning at Bob DiGiorgio's, 10158 Buena Vista Drive, Santee. Interested? Contact Bob at 448-6161 or Tom Matson at 273-8951.
18 - General Meeting, 7:30pm, Safety Room AT&SF Depot
3 - Board Meeting, 7:30 pm, San Diego Trust & Savings
8 - Flea Market, 10 am, May Co. Parking lot, Mission Valley
14 Ś Puerto Penasco Excursion for Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce
At long last the Santa Fe Yard Office has been completely removed from the yards adjacent to the depot. The job of this removal took twice as long as anticipated. The main reason for the slow removal is the participation of members in our activities. During the entire 4 or 5 weeks scheduled, only three or four persons showed for each work party. This type of attendance has been very disheartening for those who were big for the Jacumba Land proposal. It has forced the board to step back and judge the effects and causes for the poor turnouts at these and other work parties. If and when PSRMA locates a home, the membership will be required to be present to help construct our museum from the ground up. It will be up to you as a member of PSRMA to "become involved" in the building of the biggest, railroad museum in Southern California.

My latest guilty pleasure is the super-short "Vlog." At first, I was uncertain whether the 71-minute horror film was supposed to be funny on purpose, but I was certain that it's supposed to gory, coming from several "Saw" producers. Even if you hate that franchise, give this stripped-down effort a shot. It may surprise you.

I loved having the RSVP card be a postcard. So convenient. Thank you magnet street for making my invites look so good!!!
Perfect invites
Classic Allure Foldover Pockets Our wedding colours are grey and peach and this color combination was not very easy to find online until I discovered magnet street! I received the three samples and also the just one where I was able to make changes to make sure they were exactly as we wanted. The process was easy and any of my requests made for changes were done quickly and just as we had wanted. The price was also great for a personalized pocket invite. We upgraded to the shimmer paper - definitely worth it!

JACKSONVILLE — Despite being warned early and often that city-owned property can't be sold without the legal permission of Jacksonville officials — and going so far as to deny any responsibility when they did it anyway — the parties involved with the Lon Morris College bankruptcy estate auction have basically told city officials that they are passing this legal headache on to Federal Bankruptcy Judge Bill Parker to resolve.
At least two city properties were sold to 11x17 without the city's permission.
The rationale behind this decision is auction sales aren't final until Parker formally approves them in court on Feb. 4 anyway.
"The thing about a bid is everything has to be approved by the judge," said Jacksonville City Attorney Joe Angle. "When he asks if we wanted the land to be sold we are not just going to tell him 'no,' we are going to tell him 'HECK no!"
City Manager Mo Raissi said he was told pretty much the same thing.
"They're saying 'This is just a bid and it has to go through the court and the judge will look at the decision so this doesn't mean anything,'" Raissi said Wednesday afternoon. "Nothing is final until the judge rules."
The mistake was apparently made by Oklahoma-based AmeriBid, the auction company retained to market the properties and conduct the auction.
Neither Chief Restructuring Officer Dawn Ragan of Bridgepoint Consulting nor Houston attorney Hugh Ray III from the Texas offices of McKool Smith have responded to requests for comment submitted on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Likewise, Stephen Karbelk of Oklahoma-based AmeriBid, the auction company retained to market the properties and conduct the auction, did not respond to two rounds of emails.
However, C. Brent Wellings, a regional director and auctioneer for AmeriBid, on Tuesday vehemently denied any mistake had taken place and went as far as to allege Jacksonville city officials were fully knowledgeable of the transaction, which Raissi said they most certainly were not. He did not respond to followup emails and multiple calls for additional comment on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
"There is no 'mistake' on the part of AmeriBid or any other party that worked to complete the recent auction, which included representatives from the City of Jacksonville," Wellings said in his Tuesday email. Another AmeriBid official offered similar denials to a local TV news outlet.
News of this mistaken sale came the same day LMC announced the conclusion of its bankruptcy auction, which began Jan. 14 and took in nearly $2.2 million. The high bidders were Jacksonville-based office supplier 11 x 17, which accumulated most of the property, the Jacksonville ISD, and William Adcock Jr. LMC, Texas' oldest junior college, filed for bankruptcy protection in July.
In a press release issued to all media, Ragan said proceeds from the sale will be used to pay creditors and the school's former employees.
News that AmeriBid is alleging the city knew of the sale angered officials — especially since formal paperwork in the form of an objection to LMC's liquidation plan was already filed in federal court to prevent this exact thing from happening.
But ultimately it all came back to: Tell it to the judge.
"Joe (Angle) has talked this out with attorney and was assured this is just a bid," Raissi said. "We have told them 'No, we don't want anything to do with a sale' again and again. We want to keep the property. But it looks like it will be the judge's decision."

70-year-old Sebastopol apple farm shut down, but plans to reopen
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 5:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 2:21 p.m.
A beloved remnant of the west county apple industry is closed after state officials ordered the shutdown of a drinking water well in the rural outskirts of Sebastopol, but the owners vow to reopen by spring.
Photo Galleries
"We found it a good time to retool, to be able to keep the farm going," said Jeff Palk, owner of Twin Hill Ranch. They will "keep the heritage of the apple operation alive while going forward with grapes, where the future really is."
He said he plans to expand wine grape growing on some nearby parcels, since grapes are more lucrative, but he will maintain the eight remaining historic acres of apples on the main ranch property.
Farm manager Bill DeHass, Palk's father-in-law, said he is particularly eager to open the orchard for families to come pick their own apples and watch the historic process of washing and packaging the Gravenstein apples that once flourished that part of the county.
"Kids have got to know what their ancestors did here in America," he said. "If we're not here, that's gone."
Regulators shut down the operation on Jan. 17 after a state inspector found that the ranch was drawing water from an unapproved well, said Bruce Burton, chief of the California Department of Public Health's Drinking Water Northern California Field Operations Branch. Without state-approved water on site, county health officials suspended the ranch's permit to sell food, the cornerstone of its business.
Palk said the water system was not operated by the ranch, but rather by a private water district, known as the Twin Hill Mutual Water Co. It was established by the previous owners decades ago as part of an abortive effort to build a residential subdivision, but the water system fell into disrepair after the plan was abandoned. At some point in recent months, the pump on the main well failed and the system switched to a backup well, which turned out not to have state approval.
"I didn't realize I was even a member of the water district … as a customer, I basically had my water cut off," Palk said.
Details on how the switch came about, and who is in charge of the private water company, remain murky, with varying accounts told by people involved.
State regulators did not offer any evidence that the water from the backup well is contaminated or an immediate danger, but Burton said anytime water is coming from an unapproved source, there is the possibility of some threat to human health so the agency issues a "do not drink" order.
Twin Hill Ranch was established in 1942 by Darrel Hurst. He and wife Maggie raised 13 children, including eight adopted, on the property before his death in 1998. They built the ranch into not only a wholesale apple seller, but a well-loved tourist attraction, offering a variety of apples for sale in the summer and fall and developing a wide range of apple products, including pies, bread and cookies.
Jeff and Kelley Palk bought the ranch from the Hurst family in 2010 and vowed to maintain it as the founders had intended. The remaining 21-acre property is just a part of the Hurst's original farm; pieces were sold off by the family or donated to various causes over the years. In addition to the eight acres of apples there are about five acres of wine grapes, plus a large barn, a house, and several outbuildings.
Palk said he plans to expand his acreage of grapes on some nearby parcels, but intends to preserve the remaining apple acres as they are today.
The ranch has been a popular venue for events and a destination for school field trips for many years. It was also a frequent stop for families searching for Christmas trees at the area's once-numerous farms.
"The late Darrell Hurst was a really strong advocate for the apple industry . . . it is an ideal place to help educate people about agriculture and buy local products," said Lex McCorvey, executive director of the Sonoma County Farm Bureau.
The west county apple industry has declined significantly in recent decades, he said, although it is having a small resurgence with the popularity of organically farmed apple such as those grown by the historic Dutton Ranch in Sebastopol. The Christmas tree industry has declined in the area as well.
"It's cheaper to ship apples from Washington or China than grow them here in Sonoma County," McCorvey said. "I imagine the same is true for the trees."
Once Twin Hill reopens, the future for the ranch is likely to be more tourist-oriented than its working agricultural past, Palk said. When he bought the property, he had hoped to break even just on the wholesale apple growing and processing operation, but that dream has proven elusive.
"Let's be honest, you're trying to operate an old apple farm," he said. "I was trying to operate the way it had been in the past; it wasn't working."
State officials say the ownership of the water system is unclear, but regulators have issued a number of technical citations to the system in recent years, mostly for failing to pay fees or submit required test results.
The shutoff of the water system led the county Department of Health Services to suspend Twin Hill's license to sell food, said Christine Sosko, interim director of environmental health and safety. That license could be restored if the owners find a source of drinking water acceptable to state regulators.
The water system supplies three houses adjacent to the property and a nearby fire station and private school, according to the state. Former owner Ben Hurst, son of Darrell Hurst, said Monday that he had been running the water system informally since he sold off his interest in the property in 2010, though he had stepped away from that role by the time of the do-not-drink notice.
Water does continue to flow from the long-time backup well, he said, which is operational but not approved by the state. Plans are in place to replace the failed pump on the main well, which is approved for water company use.
None of the residents of the three houses has been forced out of their home, Hurst said; the school has switched its supply to pipes from a nearby public school.
Hurst said the residents of the houses are working to revitalize the management of the water system, taking it over themselves. No residents were at home when a reporter visited last week and one did not return a call for comment by phone on Monday.
Chief Dan George of the Gold Ridge Fire District, which operates the nearby station, said water had not been interrupted to his station. The department is, however, moving ahead with a long-term plan to shift to a well on the station property so as not to be dependent on the Twin Hill system.
Palk said Friday that the ranch will reopen as early as the end of this month, returning to offering tours, school programs, and pick-your-own apples, and will once more sell the popular line of apple-themed products, including pies, cookies, and breads.
Business consultant Wayne Weisler, who is helping rebuild the ranch operation, said he has been astounded by the reaction to the temporary closure, with area markets calling to demand more of the apple goodies and teachers and other visitors stopping by to see when they will reopen.
"The demand for our products is going up, which blows me away," he said.
While the farm is closed, the owners are overhauling business practices, rebuilding and expanding facilities for visitors, such as a covered picnic area, sprucing up the barn where products are sold, and eyeing new product lines.
Weisler promised, however, that the business would continue making the popular baked goods and other products.
"Don't fix what isn't broken," he said.

CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. -- It was a late night for New York delegates and others around the country as the shuttle bus system that aimed to bring them back to the hotel suddenly paralyzed, turning what should have been an hour ride into a three and a half hour nightmare.
The shuttle buses took the delegates from the Tampa Bay Times Forum to Raymond James Stadium, where they were to board other buses for their hotels. But the huge number of shuttle buses created a huge traffic jam at the stadium, leaving the delegates stranded and fuming.
"We had too much faith in the system," said Brad Marble, a Republican activist from Lockport who arrived back at the Hilton in Clearwater Beach at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"Some people were a little aggravated," said Niagara County GOP Chairman Michael J. Norris.
The late arrivers did find one blessing when they arrived, noted former Gov. George E. Pataki, thanking a party functionary named Rob Cole.
"He made the demand that the bar stay open till 3 a.m.," Pataki said. "He deserves a round of applause."

Head first Java
O'Reilly, 2003 - Computers - 619 pages
Between Moore''s law and the notion of "Internet time," we''re constantly being bombarded with more and more information--most of it in the form of disorganized data. Turning this information into useful knowledge is getting harder and harder to do, and it takes time that we just don''t have. The current economic situation hasn''t helped either. With money spread thin, who hasn''t had to take on new tasks and learn new things? And slashed training budgets mean there''s little to rely on for learning except books- but learning a complex new programming language like Java from a book is no simple task. Maybe your boss is giving you two weeks to come up to speed for a project, or maybe you''re ready to take that next step up in your current job, or be a more viable candidate for a newjob. Whatever the reason, the onus is on you to learn. All these factors make it more important than ever to have a way to learn-- fast. And that''s what Head First Javadoes -- by exploiting the way your brain works, it compresses the time it takes to really learn. Why? Because its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it enables and encourages you to think like a Java programmer. Mastering object oriented programming requires a certain way of thinking, not just a certain way of writing code. The latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology shows that learning at the deeper levels takes a lot more than text on a page. Actively combining words and pictures not only helps in understanding the subject, but in remembering it. According to some studies, an engaging, entertaining, image-rich, conversational approach actually teaches the subject better. Head First Javaputs these theories into practice with a vengeance. Chock full of mind stretching exercises, memorable analogies, and stories, humor and attitude that aren''t just pasted-on distractions but that are used to drive home key points and make ideas come alive, the Head First approach is as effective as it is unique. It takes a pretty unique person to have developed such an innovative way to Learn Java. Kathy Sierra has been interested in learning theory since her days as a game designer. More recently, she''s been a master trainer for Sun Microsystems, teaching Sun''s own instructors how to teach the latest Java technologies. She has been actively using the concepts in Head First Javato teach hundreds of trainers, developers and even non programmers. She is the founder of one of the largest Java community websites in the world, javaranch.com, and she is a member of the development team for the Sun Certified programmer exam. Bert Bates is also a long-time Java developer and trainer with extensive experience in learning theory. His background features a long stint in artificial intelligence with clients like the Weather Channel, A&E Network, Rockwell and Timken. Is Head First Javaright for you? That depends. Head First Javaassumes you''re a programmer or at least have experience with scripting languages. It assumes that you''re smart, that you''re creative and open to new ideas, and that you know you''re just not the type of person who wants to learn the traditional way. Take a look at the sample pages, explore the background on brain-based learning, examine the table of contents, and see for yourself how Head First Javatakes learning to a whole new level. See why Tim O''Reilly says, "This is the first really new approach to computer books that I''ve seen in many years. I think it''s going to revolutionize how programming and other complex topics are taught." Table of Content: 1) Dive In (a quick dip into Java) 2) Welcome to Objectville (intro to OO) 3) Know your Variables (understanding Java types: primitives, object references, pass-by-value) 4) How objects behave (instance variables and methods) 5) Extra-strength methods (writing more complex code) 6) Using the Java Library (solving problems with the API) 7) Better Living in Objectville (inheritance, OO design, abstract classes) 8) Serious Polymorphism (interfaces, more OO design, polymorphism) 9) Life and Death of an object (constructors and memory management / garbage collection) 10) Do the Math (static methods and variables, Math methods, Wrappers, and number formatting) 11) Risky Behavior (handling exceptions) 12) A very graphic story (GUI intro, inner classes, event handling) 13) Work on your swing (more GUI, layout managers and Swing components) 14) Saving objects (object serialization and file I/O) 15) Make a connection (networking: sockets and server sockets) 16) Release your Code (deployment: code organization, packages, executable JARs, and Java Web Start) 17) Distributed Code (deployment via RMI and Servlets)

While Univision made it five straight weeks as television's primetime network leader in young adults, English-language program rankings were dominated by reality shows .... and "Under the Dome."
Nine of the top 10 ad-supported shows in the adults 18-49 demo last week were installments of veteran unscripted series, led by "America's Got Talent." The 7-year-old NBC show tied with CBS drama newcomer "Under the Dome" at No. 1.
Big Brother," the Eye was able to show year-over-year weekly gains -- the only major net to do so.
Overall, according to Nielsen, Univision led in adults 18-49 with a 1.5 rating/5 share, and was followed by Fox (1.3/4), CBS (1.2/4), NBC (1.1/4), ABC (1.0/3) and top cabler USA (0.7/2). CBS edged out Univision in adults 25-54 and won easily as usual in total viewers.
Univision's week was capped by the two-hour grand finale of "Amores Verdaderos" (2.1/6 in 18-49, 5.19 million viewers overall), which aired on Sunday and brought big gains to what is typically one of the network's lower rated nights.
CBS' consistent "Under the Dome" (2.8/8 in 18-49, 11.60 million viewers overall) was the week's most-watched program overall. The net's "Big Brother" again placed all three of its editions among the week's top 10 in 18-49, led by Thursday's eviction show (2.5/8, 6.90m).
Fox, which has little new programming this summer, was led by reality vets "MasterChef" (2.3/7 in 18-49, 5.58m) and "Hell's Kitchen" (2.3/7, 5.61m), the latter of which wrapped its season. Repeats of "Family Guy" continue to do well on Sunday (1.6/5 in 18-49, 3.18m).
NBC's "Get Out Alive With Bear Grylls" (1.4/4 in 18-49, 3.67m) and "Hollywood Game Night" (1.3/4 in 18-49, 3.85m) are as strong as any new reality programs this summer. "Game Night" again built on its "Winner Is" lead-in (0.9/3, 3.84m) and beat out ABC and CBS in the 10 p.m. Thursday hour in 18-49.
Peacock's "America's Got Talent" on Tuesday (2.8/8, 10.34m) was the week's No. 1 program in 18-49 (tied with "Under the Dome"), and Wednesday's first results show of the season (2.4/7 in 18-49, 10.64m) was up from last year's.
ABC's best night was again Monday, where "The Bachelorette" (1.9/6 in 18-49, 6.52m) won its two-hour timeslot and first-year drama "Mistresses" hit six-week highs behind it (1.2/3 in 18-49, 3.95m).
