Wondering how you can stay in shape during your Hilton Head Island vacation? It's a breeze! Even if you take a break from your regular exercise video or weight lifting routine during your trip, you can still get in some great entire body workouts by simply enjoying the great outdoors around our island.
Here are 5 fantastic ways to stay fit on Hilton Head Island:
1) Run on the beach – Do you regularly run your neighborhood at home or perhaps a local park? On Hilton Head Island, we've got an even better view: the Atlantic Ocean! Head out in the morning before it heats up and keep your eye out for dolphins. You won't even realize you're out of breath!
2) Ride a bike – We offer Hilton Head bike rentals for your convenience if you're flying to the area or don't want to drive down with your own bike. Hilton Head Island offers 50 miles of paved bike paths – 5 miles within our resort that have just been redone -- for you to explore the beauty of the Lowcountry.
3) Stand up Paddleboarding – One of the fastest growing watersports, stand up paddleboarding, or SUP, is a great full body workout that requires lots of balance and core strength. Paddle the waves in the Atlantic or Shelter Cove's Broad Creek and enjoy the scenery. Hilton Head Outfitters has these special boards for rent. You can even try yoga on a stand up paddleboard with classes offered by Outside Hilton Head.
4) Go surfing – If you don't know how to surf, attend our 90-minute Surf Camp offered Monday through Friday during the summer to learn the basics. Then rent a board from Hilton Head Outfitters and hang 10!
5) Play tennis – Tennis is a great cardio workout and we offer guests who book their Hilton Head vacation rentals through us two hours of free tennis court time daily. If that's not quite enough of a workout for you, try our Hilton Head cardio tennis class for a real heart-pumping workout.
How do you stay fit while on vacation?

Come December, January and February we see a lot of our friends from up north visit the island for a week, for a month or even for several months. We welcome them with open arms to give them the opportunity to soak up the warmth of a southern winter and enjoy the many fun and varied activities we have at the resort.
Here are the top 6 things we think Canadians and Northerners love most about Palmetto Dunes:
1) The Obvious: It's Warmer - Here on Hilton Head Island, the average winter high temperatures stay in the 60's, giving Canadians a break from the freezing temperatures and a chance to get outdoors and work off some of that northern chill on the golf course or biking. See average highs by month at Palmetto Dunes.
2) It's Active – There's no sitting around lounging in your Hilton Head vacation home here at Palmetto Dunes… unless that's all you want to do. We give you plenty of options to keep you busy from two hours of free tennis court time with each night's stay to three championship Hilton Head golf courses to choose from to Hilton Head bike rentals, kayaking and fishing. There's no reason to ever use the word "bored" at Palmetto Dunes!
3) It's Green – It's so nice to see green when you've been staring at snow white for several weeks. Our golf courses offer rolling greens, and you can enjoy an exceptional pace of play during the off season to boot. Enjoy the palmetto trees (the Sabal palmetto is the South Carolina state tree) standing stately in the sun and on warmer days, see a variety of wildlife coming out to catch some rays.
4) It's Fun – Canadians -- and all guests – will no doubt find themselves grinning as they stroll the beach, beat par and reel in a big red here at the resort. We offer so much to do and it's all smile-inducing!
5) It's on the Ocean – Who doesn't love to listen to the waves crash, feel their toes in the sand and take a calming beach walk? There's just something about coming to the ocean that melts all the stress (and snow!) away – anytime of year.
6) It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year – In addition to all the great things we mentioned above, it really is the most wonderful time of year and what better way to spend the holidays than at Palmetto Dunes! We offer a variety of packages to cater to anyone visiting with us, including our Monthly Stay and Sports Membership, Winter Escape Special, monthly golf and tennis memberships, bike rentals and more.
Are you ready to escape the snow and frigid cold? Come visit us this winter and get out of the big chill! Our temperatures, friendly faces and unlimited activities will warm you up in no time. Give us a call at 866-744-7558 to book your Hilton Head vacation today.
Sure, a week is a great vacation to Hilton Head but a month is even better. Not that you needed any more reasons to visit us, but we've listed 5 of our top reasons to extend your stay at Palmetto Dunes to at least a month:
1) Play unlimited golf! What's better than a round of golf? Unlimited rounds of golf! With our Monthly Golf Membership, you can play all three of our championship Hilton Head golf courses as much as you want for an entire month. Choose between our oceanfront Robert Trent Jones course, the Arthur Hills course or the George Fazio course.
2) Ride your bike on all 50 miles of paved island paths. Did you know you could pedal 50 miles across our island? Spend more than a week and see if you can master it all! With monthly Hilton Head bike rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters, you'll be set with any kind of bike you like, including their new comfort bike, cruisers, kids bikes and more.
3) Get to "love" tennis, if you don't already. When you book your Hilton Head vacation rental through Palmetto Dunes, you get two hours of complimentary tennis court time daily at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. The longer you stay, the more tennis you can play!
4) Kayak to your heart's content! Palmetto Dunes is home to a beautiful and peaceful 11-mile saltwater inland lagoon system that winds throughout the resort and our golf courses. Get weekly kayak or canoe rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the lagoon, or if you plan to stay several months, consider the affordable yearly membership. See how many birds you can spot in the lagoon during your stay and watch for other wildlife, as well, like a friendly otter who likes to splash around our lagoon.
5) Try lots of Hilton Head restaurants. Here on the island we offer wonderful dining from ethic foods to fresh seafood to gourmet meals with beautiful views. Some suggestions include Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza restaurant at the Robert Trent Jones Clubhouse, the beachfront Dunes House (open seasonally to resort guests and property owners), Ela's Blu Water Grille with harbour views at Shelter Cove Harbour and San Miguel's Mexican restaurant, also at Shelter Cove.
If you want to do ALL these things on your visit to Palmetto Dunes, consider our Monthly Stay & Sports Membership. It gets you a 30-night stay in a Hilton Head resort villa, 30 days of unlimited golf and bike rentals, two 2-hour kayak rentals and two hours of tennis court time daily, plus plenty of time to walk on the beach.
For more information about any of these memberships or packages, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.

If you're in need of a little golf action on a cold day, check out the webcam at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.

Have you ever been walking the beaches here in Hilton Head and seen some amazing sandcastles? We've seen some masterpieces grace our sand, for sure, and we want to share some sandcastle building tips with you! And hey, if you want to start building before you get to the beach, we'll give you some at-home ideas too!
The Tools You'll Need: A shovel with a long handle, a bucket, a few carving tools like a spoon, a plastic knife and a fork!
Location, Location, Location: Make sure not to start your sandcastle too close to the shoreline or all your work will be destroyed by the incoming tide! Keep in mind that you'll need water to hold your castle together so don't go too far from the ocean unless you want a good workout.
Get to Digging and Building: Start by digging a hole far enough down to reach the water table (where the sand is damp). Using very wet sand and your hands, create a base for your castle. Stack sand blocks on top of one another until you get your sandcastle the height and width you want.
Decoration Time: After you've built the base, it's time for the fun part. You can use the knife to chisel in a brick pattern and the spoon to scoop out openings for a door. Another cool technique is to make a "drizzle" roof by taking super wet sand into your hand, hold your hand over the desired location and let the sand drip down. You can also use coral, shells and other washed up items to jazz up your creation!
So get to building and share your castle pictures with us on Facebook!
If you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon or just need a vacation with your honey, we want to help you plan the perfect beach date. We suggest starting off your day with a nice bike ride through the resort. We have more than 5 miles of paved bike paths at the resort with beautiful natural surroundings for you to explore.
On your ride, stop by the General Store and pick up sandwiches, chips, fruit, drinks and a towel or blanket for a nice picnic to take to the beach. Next, stop by Hilton Head Outfitters where you can rent your beach chairs and an umbrella. Then head toward the sand and surf to enjoy a relaxing picnic while you watch the dolphins frolic and unwind watching the waves.
Cap your day with a romantic dinner. A couple of of good options include Alexander's in the resort, which is known for its extensive wine menu, or Ela's in Shelter Cove, which has outstanding view to accompany their menu!
If you need even more relaxation, many of our packages include spa treatments, champagne and other sweet activities to try. We even offer a Silver Celebration package for couple celebrating 25 years of marriage.
What's your favorite romantic activity when in Hilton Head? We hope to see all you love birds here soon!
If your kids are looking to try something new and exciting this summer then head down to Hilton Head Outfitters and sign up for our surf camp! The classes are 90 minutes long and available for all ages. Captain Byron Sewell gives private attention to all attendees and brings his radical experience to the class!
Captain Byron was born on Hilton Head Island and has been a competitive surfer for 12 years. He has 5 State Championship titles and has even won an East Coast Championship. When he's not in Hilton Head helping your child catch a wave, you can find him either in Hawaii or in Costa Rica from November through May running a surfing adventure guide.
Every class starts with a 10-minute yoga stretch to get everyone loose and in the right frame of mind. All classes are full of laughter and he ends each session with a watermelon seed spitting contest! So get your children out there for fun in the surf so they can tell everyone they've been surfing in Hilton Head. Cowabunga dudes!
There are lots of great activities to do on the beach from swimming and building sand castles to jogging and surfing, but a great way to get in some family bonding time is to turn the beach into a game board!

The last piece of the giant wind turbine being built at the Varian Semiconductors Division of Applied Materials is expected to go up this morning.
Starting at 7 a.m., crews from Baldwin Crane were poised to lift and attach the enormous rotor to the turbine, said Varian's Director of Facilities, Richard Johnson. When finished, the 2.5 megawatt turbine will stand to a height of more than 460 feet. Varian's turbine is the largest wind turbine in the Northeast.
"If all goes well, it will be installed by mid-morning, and from that point on, it's all interconnection," Johnson said.
After crews finish putting the turbine together, they'll work to tie it into the power grid. Johnson expects they'll have that work finished by Nov. 26 at the latest.
After crews finish the wiring, National Grid will inspect the turbine. And Johnson said he expects the wind turbine to start generating electricity by Dec. 1.
Varian expects it to provide roughly a third of the company's overall power consumption.

(WMC-TV) - The City of Memphis took action after hearing the story about a downtown business owner who was forced to close due to raw sewage leaking from his basement walls.
Early Friday morning, city crews were dispatched to the art studio on South Main Street to begin working.
The crews dug up a manhole they had previously repaired, only to find a pipe clogged with raw sewage.
Art studio owner Ephraim Urevbu took the crews into his basement to show them the problem firsthand.
"We dug up the immediate line. We've cleaned the lines, up and down the stream," explained Ross Arnold, who works with the sewage department. "It's good and everything is working well with the sewer pipe that we do have installed here."
Urevbu is happy crews finally looked at the problem.
"They said it was a blockage that they felt has been resolved, so we'll wait and see," he said. "Now I have a mess in my basement, so my next step is to figure out who is responsible."
Either way, Urevbu hopes to soon get back to doing what he loves.
"Just the fact that I can actually go to work. I'm looking forward to that," he said.
The public works department says they found a few defects in the line. They plan to be back to work Tuesday to finish the repairs.

Ah, the joys of living in Johnston County. Better buys for the money in homes. More wide-open spaces. A small town and country feel. But, oh, the woes for those loyal Johnstonians who have to go to downtown Raleigh to work. Traffic. Accidents. Parking.
But now, thanks to some funds from the state Department of Transportation, Capital Area Transit and Triangle Transit will, one hopes, make life easier for commuters from Johnston and those who travel the Zebulon-Wendell-Raleigh express bus.
Starting in mid-December, Johnston commuters can park their cars at the Walmart on N.C. 42 and get an express bus to work in Raleigh. Those who use the Zebulon-Wendell-Raleigh bus will have twice the buses (six instead of three) running 30 minutes apart instead of 60.
The moneys being spent to ease expected traffic jams related to a three-year project of rebuilding on the southern Beltline.
But who knows? These commuters might find they can survive quite nicely without the chore, sometimes painful, of commuting every morning. Perhaps this will build support for things like light rail, even among the Wake County commissioners whove opposed it.

What are Asteroids?:
Simply, asteroids are small objects - often rocky, metallic or both - that orbit our Sun. The majority of these minor planets, as they are also known, circle our central star in a region between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroid belt.
The Details:
It is believed that asteroids formed in the same manner as the rest of the solid bodies in our solar system - during the collapse of the solar nebula - with the majority arising in the area between Mars and Jupiter.
Here, it is theorized, another planet was forming in orbit around our Sun. However, as Jupiter grew in mass, the gravitational pull on the forming world caused it break apart.
Many of the asteroids, specifically the larger ones, were ejected from the orbit. Computer models suggest that as little as 1% of the original mass remained, with the two largest chunks - Ceres and Vesta - absorbing some of the remaining material and cooling into nearly spherical orbs.
Asteroids are usually classified by one of two methods: either their orbital mechanics or their composition (determined from their reflectance spectrum).
The problem has generally been that the spectral classification has proven unreliable. This has led, over time, to several different spectral rubrics. Hence there doesn't seem to be general agreement on this issue.Therefore it is more common to refer to asteroids by their orbital characteristics, specifically where they orbit in our solar system. The major groups of asteroids include those orbiting in the asteroid belt, the Trojan asteroids and the Apollo asteroids.
The Asteroid belt
Perhaps the origin of virtually all the asteroids in our solar system, the asteroid belt contains millions individual objects, though the vast majority of these range in size from small rocks to the size of cars. However, there are estimated to be up to 2 million "large" asteroids - those with diameter greater than a kilometer (0.62 miles).
Trojan Asteroids
Trojan asteroids are those characterized by orbiting the Sun along the same path as one of the planets.
The most famous grouping of Trojan asteroids are those that lead and follow the planet Jupiter.
Located at the lagrange points,60 degrees ahead and behind the body in question, the orbits of the asteroids remain in relative position to the planet; orbiting at the same speed around the Sun.
While it could be possible for Trojan asteroids to orbit around the inner planets, only Mars' orbit has been found to contain them. This perhaps isn't surprising as the population probably arose from gravitationally captured asteroids emerging from the belt.
It is also possible that Trojans exist in the orbits of the outer gas giants, though this has not been confirmed.
Apollo Asteroids and Near-Earth Asteroids
It seems like there is a near-constant barrage of news reports dealing with asteroids or comets that are heading towards Earth. The media seems intent on striking fear into the hearts of average citizens by playing off the hollywood doomsday scenarios.
The reality is much less exciting. There are actually thousands of asteroids that find their way near Earth on a near constant basis. The ones that actually cross Earth's orbit are known as Apollo asteroids.
The rest simply have orbits around the Sun that occasionally will bring them near to the Earth. These asteroids are monitored, quite closely, by NASA researchers. And while occasionally they find that one of them could potentially impact Earth (usually decades in the future), it usually turns out that it won't happen.
But even if one of these objects were to impact the Earth, it wouldn't be for some time in the future. And most of them are two small to actually cause much damage at all - unless of course one actually falls on your house. Which isn't likely.
Asteroid Discoveries
The first asteroid to be discovered was Ceres; a large example of the species found orbiting in the asteroid belt.
Astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi found the roughly 600 mile diameter asteroid in 1801. Ceres is the largest asteroid discovered to date and is the only object to be classified as a dwarf planet in the inner solar system. (The next closest dwarf planet to Earth is Pluto.)
Since asteroids are rather small objects, observing them was difficult. So discoveries were rare until the late 20th century.
At that time computers were being increasingly used to analyze images taken of the night sky. This allowed researchers to find faint objects moving against the deep space background.
Now advanced satellites like the WISE infrared observatory allow scientists to find asteroids more readily while they are still far away from Earth.

I don't see anyone on our team turning it over as consistently as Jake will... still I'll laugh at Jake with as bad as the Panthers D is and how much better Matt Ryan and Drew Brees are..
Until we have a better option, I'm not laughin at Jake.
Delhomme won't get replaced anytime soon, he just signed that new contract with Carolina that has 20 million guaranteed...he's there guy for at least the next 2-3 years IMO...which is good to me, no one here in NC likes him at all....
I don't hate Brees or Ryan the way I loathe Delhomme. I'm enjoying his decline.

I bought the set, and would consider it for myself if I didn't already have another set. Highly recommend the utensil set as well as overstock.com!
I was surprised how good each of the items were right out of the box. I was expecting some of the item to be junk, but all of the item are useful. The spoons and spatula are necessary for most non-stick coatings on cookware. The black color is attractive. I recommend this product.
It's a nice set, but in retrospect I probably would've just gone somewhere and bought things individually to get exactly what I wanted. Definitely a good value, but the can opener and veggie peeler are kind of cheap-seeming in design.
Almost all of my products are made by Kitchenaid. These products last longer. Whoever made this products, EXCELLENT. Highly recommended to those who likes to cook. Best product ever.
I always trust the kitchen aide brand. lots of kitchen tools to get the job done

Novak Djokovic walked into Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday for his 2011 US Open Men's Final matchup with Rafael Nadal, and immediately won the hearts of the crowd. You see, Djokovic donned a New York Fire Department hat and wore it with pride as he prepared for the match. It may have been a simple and symbolic gesture, but it was cool to see.
But Djokovic wasn't done yet, and the hat was more than a one-off deal meant for just before the match.
After capturing his third Grand Slam title of the year, Djokovic dusted himself off, changed his shirt and put the hat back on for the awards ceremony. As he stood on national television in front of a packed and raucous stadium in Flushing Meadows, he wore the New York Fire Department hat with pride.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Jennifer Blomme, a native of Walla Walla who moved east as a young child, has returned to the Northwest as the new men's and women's swim coach at Whitman College.
Blomme, 26, who recently completed her master's degree in applied sport science at Indiana University, replaces Jay Coleman, who resigned this summer after three seasons at the helm of the Missionary swim program. Coleman and his family moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., to pursue other educational and professional interests.
Blomme was a varsity swimmer at Grinnell (Iowa) College, where she specialized in the breaststroke. Grinnell, which has a traditionally strong NCAA Div. III swim program, captured its conference title in two of her four seasons there.
After earning her undergraduate degree in Spanish at Grinnell in 1996, Blomme was an assistant swim coach at Dickinson College (Carlisle, Penn.) for one season and the head coach at Bryn Mawr (Pennsylvania) College for one season. She served as a volunteer women's coach at Indiana University the past two years while she completed her master's degree.
Dickinson and Bryn Mawr, like Whitman and Grinnell, are members of NCAA Div. III, which precludes schools from giving athletic scholarships.
"We feel like Whitman has a found a rising star in the coaching profession," Whitman athletic director Travis Feezell said. "Jennifer is a very intelligent young coach who has a wonderful background in swimming. Her approach to coaching fits tremendously well with the Division III expectation that students excel in academics as well as athletics."
Blomme was born in Walla Walla while her mother, Gayle Blomme, was working as a sabbatical teaching replacement in the English Department at Whitman. The family soon moved to the Olympia, Wash., area and later relocated to Michigan.
"Coming back to Walla Walla and Whitman is great," Blomme said. "From the time I moved to Michigan as a child, I have always wanted to return to the West Coast."
After completing her master's degree, Blomme began searching for a coaching position at a small liberal arts college with an NCAA Division III athletic affiliation. "Whitman is one of the top schools in the country, which makes this a perfect fit for me," she said. "If you had asked me a year ago for a wish list on the type of coaching position I wanted, Whitman would have covered all the bases. You don't always get so much of what you are looking for, so I feel very fortunate."
Speaking in part from her own experience, Blomme bases her coaching philosophy on the concept that "Division III athletes are students first who want to fill their college years with a variety of experiences. Participation in sport can be a tremendous complement to their lives without dominating their collegiate experience."
In working with her athletes, Blomme tries to tailor training regimens to the needs of individual swimmers, and she stresses the importance of perfecting their swimming strokes. "Swim training is often based to a large extent on quantity," she said. "The idea is, the more you swim, the better you become. While there are times for high volume training, I really stress the value of technique and stroke mechanics. Swimming endless yardage during workouts is not the answer if you are not swimming efficiently."
As a swimmer, Blomme got off to late start. She was 16 and a junior at Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., when she got her first taste of competitive swimming. "It was a whim, frankly," she said. "Being on the swim team sounded like fun. I was close friends with some of the swimmers, so I tried out and got hooked."
Blomme proved to be a quick learner, earning her team's "most improved" award in her first high school season. She won the same award in her first collegiate season at Grinnell. "For me, swimming is what held my college experience together," she said. "It gave me the chance to be part of a great community while still facing individual challenges, hardships and successes."
By the time she graduated from Grinnell, Blomme was starting to point her future toward collegiate coaching. During her one year as an assistant coach at Dickinson College, she tested career aspirations related to her Spanish language major, working as a bilingual assistant at the Center for Schools and Communities in Lemoyne, Penn. "What I discovered in my first year after Grinnell is that coaching and swimming are my passions," she said. "This is what I want to do with my life."
In addition to her coaching duties at Whitman, Blomme will also teach classes in sport studies and manage the college pool and its crew of lifeguards.
While working on her master's degree, Blomme worked the past two summers as an assistant coach for the Bloomington (Indiana) Swim Club, a group of 125 swimmers between the ages of seven and 18. Her coaching experience also includes stints with youth swim teams in Philadelphia, Grinnell and Carlisle, and as well as two summers as a coach and counselor for the University of Michigan Wolverine Swim Camps.

Mangos (904 East Las Olas Boulevard, 92054-20523-205001): Take the opportunity to enjoy some people watching during your pre- or post-cruise shopping along trendy Las Olas Boulevard. You'll find reasonable prices and inside (air-conditioned) or outside (sidewalk) dining; the restaurant serves everything from burgers to steak.
1205th St. Fisheries (1900 S.E. 1205th Street, Fort Lauderdale; 92054-763-2777): Located on the Intracoastal Waterway, with glorious views, this fish-'N'-chowder house offers both casual dining downstairs and more formal meals upstairs. The 31-year-old landmark serves up fresh fish, stone crab claws, and other seafood delights.
Istanbul (707 N. Broadwalk, Hollywood Beach; 92054-921-1263): What fun to sit right on Hollywood Beach's Broadwalk, watching the skaters, mimes and kids having fun, with a yummy kabob in hand. This is cheap, casual beachfront dining at its finest.
Catalina Restaurant (3331 NE 33rd St., Fort Lauderdale; 92054-20564-6770): It would be as close to a sin as you can get to visit south Florida and not sample Cuban food. This is a great place to try it--not too far away from the port, reasonably priced, and with a menu just exotic enough to get your taste buds going and make you yearn for more.
Getting Around
All of the cruise lines provide shuttle service to and from the airport, cabs are plentiful and inexpensive, and many of the airport and Hollywood Beach hotels offer transportation to the port. There is also parking at the port for those who have driven to their cruise vacation.
While all the major car rental agencies operate out of Fort Lauderdale's airport, none has an office at the port. Budget has the closest, at the foot of the 17th St. Causeway, but does not offer shuttle service to the ships. We recommend an airport rental; that way you can take advantage of the shuttle service that each cruise line offers to and from Port Everglades.
What to See and Do
The Beach, which has only gotten better since Fort Lauderdale decided to abandon its role as spring break capital of the U.S. some years ago. Today, the beach that stretches along the Atlantic is clean and white and quiet; there's a boardwalk and numerous T-shirt shops and eateries, ranging from casual to nouvelle.
Las Olas Boulevard (between 6th and 11th Avenues) is a great pit stop for shoppers, art aficionados, people watchers, and restaurant enthusiasts. During the day, you can hop a boat for a tour of the intracoastal canals that wind through this picturesque section of Fort Lauderdale. At night, festive diners spill out of sidewalk cafes. You can also ride in horse-drawn surrey carriages.
A walk along Hollywood Beach's "Broadwalk," an asphalt strip along the beach that is filled with street performers, rollerbladers, couples walking hand in hand, and families with young children meandering along in the sunshine.
Stroll along the Riverwalk (U.S. 1, south of Broward Boulevard) in Old Fort Lauderdale; this 1.205-mile stretch of boardwalk along the New River links many of the city's historic and cultural landmarks.
Serenity-seekers should head to the Fairfield Tropical Garden (10901 Old Cutler Road) where man-made lakes surround one of the world's largest palm tree collections as well as other verdant examples of flora and fauna.
Staying in Touch
Soapy's, a chain of Internet cafes with stores from the Caribbean to Alaska, has one in Fort Lauderdale (234 Almond Avenue, one block north of Las Olas Boulevard).
If you have a laptop with wireless ability you can use it at Starbucks to access the Internet at no charge (32050 E Las Olas Blvd; 10 S Federal Hwy; 161205 N Federal Hwy).
Internet Cafe (3337 NE 33rd Street).
O'Reilly's CyberCafe (1608 West Commercial Boulevard).
Where You're Docked
Port Everglades is located only 10 minutes by cab or shuttle from the Fort Lauderdale Airport, five minutes from the beaches of Hollywood, and about 10 minutes from downtown.

PONITAC, Ill. -- Damage to the Vermilion River Bridge on Interstate 55 could take up to a month to repair.
On Sunday evening, a semi traveling on northbound I-55 near Pontiac crashed into the bridge causing structural damage.
Illinois Department of Transportation officials say the passing lane on the bridge will remain closed to northbound traffic until temporary repairs are complete. That is expected to take 2 to 3 weeks.
At this time there is no word on when a permanent repair will be made.

CATEGORIES MoviesDepending on how well you know your memes, you may recognize the iconic classified ad that kicks off Safety Not Guaranteed: "Wanted: someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."
Director Colin Trevorrow and his writing partner Derek Connolly turned those six sentences into the basis for their quirky sci-fi comedy, which would go on to become a hit at Sundance. In it, Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza stars as Darius, a magazine intern who sets out with her boss (New Girl's Jake Johnson) and another intern to track down the ad's author, and, more importantly, to find out if he's for real. What they find in Kenneth (played by writer/director/actor Mark Duplass) is an eccentric loner who's everything the ad promised, and then some.
With Safety Not Guaranteed opening in Toronto on June 15th, Moviefone spoke to Trevorrow about the genesis of the time travel comedy, the power of a feel-good ending, and the rare occurrence that is seeing Aubrey Plaza smile.
There's an interesting story behind the movie -- the idea's based on a real classified idea, right? Yeah, it is. It's based on an Internet meme [that] was based on a classified ad that was published in Backwoods Home Magazine in 1997, sort of a survivalist publication. Eventually, it caught on on the Internet and turned into a meme. [The most popular] was of a man with a long blonde mullet, set to the "Push It To the Limit" song from Scarface, it had quite a following. And Derek Connolly, the writer, saw that ad and thought up a storyline, and we went and we optioned the classified ad like it was a piece of literature, or a TV series, or anything else.
I saw in the credits that you had a "time travel consultant"... That's actually the credit that we gave to the man who wrote the original classified ad. He's actually in the film. When they're staking out the post office to find Kenneth, he's the first guy that comes into the post office, with the grey beard.
What was it about the ad that appealed to you and Derek? Well, I feel like there's a sense of longing behind the words, a sense of someone who is looking for a partner. The time travel part is what jumps out at you, but we really thought that, what he did, for whatever reason, when he made that pitch, I felt like that's something that's an interesting setting for a love story. And so we took it from there, and really tried to play up the idea of characters who didn't really want to be in this time, and really desired to be in another, better place.
I like how you have the literal take on going back in time with Kenneth, and then the more metaphorical take with Jake Johnson's character. How early on did you hit on that parallel? That was really in the first draft that Derek and I did. Derek wrote the script and then I read it, and when we worked on it, we really pulled out the love story, on both sides. We made Kenneth and Darius into more of a love story and the whole storyline which Jeff [Jake Johnson's character] shares with Liz really came out of that session. We knew we were going to have the time travel question existing throughout, but we just felt there were some themes that even he and I were grappling with, you know, of being 35 and looking back and saying, 'Oh, well these were our choices,' and wondering what we could have done differently to grow up to be a better person than who we are. We thought it was a good opportunity to still have a movie that's fun and all of those things, but also to touch on something that was universal.
How did Mark Duplass get involved? Did he come on as a producer first, or as an actor? He came on as a producer, an executive producer actually, with his brother [Jay] and their role was basically to secure the funding and really, they got the movie going. So they secured that financing and at the same time, Mark and I were talking a lot about what I wanted Kenneth to be and what I didn't want him to be. And we really agreed. It happened very naturally. I don't even remember the moment that it did, but we both realized that this could be a cool option.
When [Mark and Jay] came on board, they gave Derek and I a lot of freedom and they really let us make our film. But I knew Mark as an actor would actually have a lot of creative influence. He's done so much improvisational work in films that he would find a lot of great new intimate moments between these people, just by having him there. And it really did work out that way. He was such a key asset for us, as an actor and creatively.
Was Aubrey Plaza always your first choice for Darius? She was, it was actually written for her. So there was never any other Darius. We had a hard time imagining who [else] it would be, because it's a very specific character. We really wanted somebody who could blossom onscreen, both as a character and also as an actor. The audience has a preconceived notion in their head of Aubrey as an actor, and so if we can break that down a bit, I think that in some ways that her character is a bit more surprising. Because it's not anything that they had ever seen before -- like, you know, seeing Aubrey Plaza smile.
She's an actress whose real strength seems to be that she's adept at conveying a lot with just a look. Does that jibe with your sensibilities as a director? Absolutely. I think that ideally every actor would want to be able to do that in as few words as possible. And she's especially good at it. And I feel like because she's so good, we took more opportunities for her to not speak and [just] communicate with those eyes, which she does very well. Derek wrote a lot of wonderful dialogue, but in editing the film, we really tried to make it very sparse, and edit it down to the absolute most necessary moments.
How important was it for you to not make fun of Kenneth -- to make sure that he's a real sympathetic character as opposed to just a sideshow? It was crucial, and I would actually apply that to comedy in general. Derek and I, we don't make comedy where we're making fun of the character. We make comedy where the characters take themselves seriously. And the storytellers take the characters seriously.
I think that moment when we realize that he's not just paranoid, that there actually are people following him, it really changes the way we see him too. Right. The potential that this might be real. It was a challenge, because we wanted it to feel real but we still wanted to keep it fun and keep it, not silly, but there is something preposterous about guys in suits following him. And part of that was also the tone, the way they were dressed, and the way we dealt with it, was almost to suggest that, yeah, this probably is all a big joke. We didn't want to reveal until the absolute last second whether or not it is a big joke. And I think that what you were saying before, the idea that we take our character very seriously, you don't really know how much truth in [his time travel claims] there is until the end of the movie.
Without spoiling anything, were you always planning on ending the film the way you did, or were there other options you considered? There were; that wasn't the original idea. There was one other idea, the original one that Derek and I scripted. We shot that, and it worked. But this truly happened very late in the game. It was after we already had been accepted to Sundance, before we went, but we were already in. And I changed the ending to be what it is. It was a massive decision, and I was very aware of how much it changes the content of everything that came before it in the movie, and we thought about it a lot. And everyone was very supportive of me. I'm obviously very grateful to everyone for supporting it, because it was a bit of a risky move. And I think it's the kind of thing that people could laugh off, or it's the kind of thing people could say doesn't feel motivated. But as for me, it's something that makes me feel good. And I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
Definitely, it's a real crowd-pleasing ending. What made you change your mind? You know, the way that it [originally] ended was very real. It was entirely reality-based. There was a very structural element at work, where at the moment we discover Kristen Bell's character, that represents a bit of a low point for the audience. [And then] we sort of punch the audience in the stomach again, and make them feel bad a second time. And there was something very ingrained in me, as a filmmaker who grew up in the '80s and loved Spielberg and Zemeckis and all of these guys -- that was my canon, that's my mythology. And it was important for me to reach the end of a movie and have the opportunity to make an audience really feel good when they left the theater and not be down or anything.
Why do you think time travel still fascinates audiences the way that it does? I feel like we all have things that we could have done differently in our lives, and I think that usually, when we're seeing time travel in films, more often than not, they're global [problems], or the space-time continuum is going to collapse and we're all going to disappear. But the films that I really love, in that genre, Back to the Future or films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, are much more personal to me. I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had. And I just think that all of us, if we had a time machine, if we really sat down and thought about it, we wouldn't go back and kill Hitler. We would go back and maybe not say that thing to our dad that we said, or maybe be a little nicer to someone who we cared about and had a relationship with when we were young. You know, they're subtle things, but we carry those with us forever. And I think that regret and time travel are intrinsically linked to me.

The Spokane Chiefs are now just one day away from opening the regular season, with Game 1 being a rivalry match against Tri-City at the Toyota Center.
The Chiefs won both games against the Americans during the preseason and will be looking to continue that success on Saturday.
The players know it is important to start the season with a win, but another victory over the Ams would be that much sweeter.
"Any game against Tri is always fun – high intensity, sold out barns. It's really fun," said the Chiefs' Collin Valcourt.
"You want to make sure we have a better outing than we did last year," said coach Don Nachbaur. "Our first game in Tri-Cities last year wasn't a stellar outing for us and we had to regroup and get the ball rolling in the right direction… If we follow up with a big effort we'll probably get a victory."
Saturday's game will be aired on SWX in the Spokane area at 7 p.m.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 49 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Scarlett Stylish and Comfortable I'm a female who buys the youth sizes to fit my small feet. These shoes are a very vibrant red and look great with all my red sports attire. I wear these out and about and they are always a conversation starter. Highly recommend. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by School Mom Nike shoes Great! Timely shipping and exactly what we ordered... Thank you!! August 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by momofboys Shoes were shipped quickly Our local Dick's store seldom has a good selection of sneakers in my son's size. With birthday money in hand, my 8 year old was set on purchasing a pair of new basketball shoes for his summer league. The store had NOTHING in his size so we headed home. We found a HUGE selection of shoes (way more than the store) online and he quickly picked out a pair that he liked. We ordered them on Sunday and I think they arrived by Tuesday. I couldn't believe how quickly they arrived. I may never go back to the store since the online selection was so much better. Since the shoes weren't for me, I can't comment on the comfort or wear, but son loves them so they must feel good. They were way more than I would have like to have spent on a pair of shoes for an 8 year old, but since he paid for them himself, we couldn't argue. July 20, 2014

At first, there were one or two husks on a tree. Then there were several squashed bugs in the school parking lot. Now, it's a swarm of Cicadas in parts of Northern Virginia.
Share your cicada photos with us by clicking on the 'upload' button above!
The cicada hum can be heard loudly in Dale City and parts farther south, including Fredericksburg.
Some areas of Northern Virginia have yet to experience the "Cicadapocalypse," but the bugs are out in large numbers in Prince William County and parts of Fairfax County.
Tell us where you're seeing the cicadas this year in the comments section!
Known as the East Coast II brood, these cicadas and several other states up through Connecticut. The result? A 7 kHz buzz filling the region as the cicadas try to attract mates.
If they behave typically, the cicadas will be around for four to six weeks. According to the Nature Conservancy, birds and other wildlife will have an ample source of food this year. In addition, the pruning of some trees that these insects do is actually good for local forests.

Missouri Written Driving Practice Test
- Questions:20
- Pass rate:80 %
- Attempts allowed:Unlimited
- Backwards navigation:
Relocating to a new state can be confusing, considering every state in the country has its' own set of laws. This especially pertains to continuing your driving privilege.Being prepared for what you need to obtain a driver's license in Missouri will save you time and frustration after waiting in a long line at a licensing office. Below is the information you should know before seeking your Missouri DMV new to state drivers license.
The great state of Missouri requires every driver of a motor vehicle on public roads to be licensed through the Missouri Department of Revenue. All new to state drivers must acquire a Missouri DMV new to state drivers license immediately after establishing residency in Missouri.
To obtain a Missouri DMV new to state drivers license, you will need to present the proper documents, proving identification. Every applicant is required to provide a Social Security number. Due to Missouri's strict identification laws, be sure to bring your current driver's license from another state, accompanied by one of the following:
Any resident of Missouri, applying for a driver's license for the first time, will have to pass a written test of general driving safety and knowledge, and a vision test. The written driving test consists of 25 questions, of which a minimum of 20 (80%) must be answered correctly. You may retake the test again after 1 day, if needed, to pass. To pass the vision test, you must have at least 20/40 combined vision with, or without, corrective lenses. Applicants who are new to state, and hold a valid driver's license from another state, generally do not have to take the written knowledge test, but are required to pass a road-sign recognition test.
To recap, the following is a checklist to follow when seeking your Missouri DMV new to state drivers license:

Apple has lost another battle in its ongoing war with Samsung.
Research firm Strategy Analytics announced Friday that for the first time in four years, Apple is no longer the most profitable cell phone maker in the world. That honor now belongs to Samsung
During the second quarter, Samsung's global handset operating profits hit $5.2 billion, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple's operating profit stood at $4.6 billion. Samsung's mobile division posted a $5.6 billion operating profit in the second quarter.
According to Strategy Analytics, Samsung's success has been due mainly to its "strong volumes, high wholesale prices, and tight cost controls." Apple, meanwhile, is facing increased competition around the world that might require it to change its strategy.

|Summary: Organize photos on your iPod, freely!
GPixPod is a new PyGTK application to organize photos and photo albums on recent photo-capable Apple iPod models, developed by Flavio Gargiulo, www.FLAGAR.com. It is at the moment the free, open source and cross-platform alternative to iTunes for uploading photos on your iPod. Its approach to modify manually the elements in the Photo Database of your iPod could be also more useful than the syncing-only method of iTunes. For the GNU/Linux user, it is the perfect complement of GtkPod and similar programs (such as Rhythmbox, Banshee) which organize music and videos. In fact, managing photos was the only feature of my iPod that I was not able to use from my GNU/Linux box: thus I decided to write my own application, following the great documentation about the formats of the files on the iPod found on the iPodLinux.org portal. Nothing could have been done without the great effort in documenting done on that wiki. Special thanks go to Henryk Plotz, for its original concept code.
